Impersonal Impersonators

Originally posted Friday, October 27, 2006

So there I was the other night waiting for a friend who had just called me to CALL me back about the plans of the evening, when instead of the phone call, I got a dreaded text. You know one of those text messages that say bad news in which the textor doesn't want to verbally tell the textee that he/she has to cancel.

What is this world coming to? We have become so impersonal. If you like a girl but yet don't know if she likes you...well a harmless text will work. If you need something from a co-worker but do not want to interrupt your mindless web surfing of wikipedia and woot...why a simple e-mail will suffice. And if you want to vent but not sure if you're friend really wants to listen.....why a blog of course.

The most depressing thing is that I've become one of those where laziness and convenience takes precidence over sincerity and personal contact. I still strive to be one who is more personal, but it takes two to do that and some are too set in there "impersonal" ways.
