Email, twitter and the rest of the anti social technology

I feel that sometimes I sound like I'm stupid when having a conversation on email or text. It's like the message gets all mixed up and people get more pissed then when talking face to face. It is like we are losing our ability to actually speak.

Yea I don't think I'll shut down anything. I think I'll just limit my time.

I am tempted to shut down my Facebook, twitter and my texting. Just so people get the real meaning of what I'm saying and I'm getting what they are saying.

The actually gave you a license???

I am beginning to realize that people did not take drivers education. I see people not using turn signals and crossing the solid line. I wonder if they buy cars with no turn signals. Wait no they didn't take drivers education. That has to be it.

Is really do hard to use a turn signal? It's not like you have to use a ton of energy to do it. These people are the same ones that I see racing up to cut into the line of cars waiting to get off the highway or getting on. How am I suppose to know what you want to do if your sitting there counting butterflies with no turn signal on. And don't look at me like I'm mean, I don't read minds. But I do see turn signals.

Butterflies and aisles

I wonder some days if people who stop in an aisle or pathway are counting or looking for butterflies. I mean really do they walk into a grocery store stop, look for the butterflies then realize "duh I'm in a grocery store. Maybe I should shop while I'm here." It's like the lightbulb went off above their head and they have a blank stare on their face when it does.

They could be walking on the sidewalk in the middle of winter and stop and look around. Like a butterfly is going to suddenly appear. Hello do you see the snow?

So either stop counting butterflies or move over to the side. The rest of us are not and would like to get through.

Bliss Woods in Sugar Grove Illinois

Here are 3 pictures I took with my phone when we went for a peaceful walk today. This is one of our favorite places to walk and enjoy the woods and nature. I did take some with my can camera I just have not loaded them since we just got home.

Did I really think a bike ride was good during a wind storm?

It was pretty windy earlier today and I went for a bike ride. The whole time I was like really whose idea was this. Seriously with this wind, a bike ride is not a good idea. Then it dawned on me that it was my idea. Duh. What was I thinking? I mean really the wind was blowing the leaves on the trees pretty hard that I thought they were going to blow off. Ok maybe not that hard. But it felt like it.

I could say I was glad I did it but it would be the truth. Next time I'll wait until it is not so windy.

Madonna concert Chicago 9/19/2012

I went to the Madonna concert last night. It was my third time seeing her and probably my last. The show was ok. I thought the last 2 tours were a lot better.

She had a pretty good playlist from that past to now. The one thing I could do without is the political comments from her when she's on stage. I am there to hear her sing and perform. Not to hear her political views. She is entitled to them but I do not feel a concert is the place to talk about them.

The other thing was that she didn't go on until after 10 pm. I paid a lot of money for my ticket and I expected and opening act. But the opening act came on at 8:30 and was onstage for 90 or so minutes. Why do they put the time on the ticket for 8:00 when no one starts on time.

I am glad I went and still managed to have fun. Will I do it again? Probably not.

I even went there myself. No one else I knew could afford the ticket. In a setting like that I doubt anyone even noticed.

My blonde moments and honesty

Yes I do blonde things. I think it's because I have conditioned myself to do them. Sometimes there are a lot of them and other times not so much. But I get laughs when I do them. That makes me feel good.

Yes there are times when I am too honest and it has come to bite me in the butt. I do hold back at times. Others I need to get it out and vent about it. That is me. If someone thinks they know me and does not realize this thing about me then they really do not know me.

I have put too many personal stories out there when talking to people. This is also another part of me. Some people can relate to my stories and others not so much.

All in all I like me and that's all that matters.
