Well, I decided to write something, and maybe after the countless blogs I have read from Colton ranting and raving about things that happen, it might have just rubbed off. CELL PHONES. I just don't understand the spelling people do because of the text messaging. LOL, what in the crap, I never do that when I laugh. When did we start writing words instead of actually laughing out loud? This is a new one I seen recently TTYL which actually means talk to ya later. Oh my, why is the human race on a downward spiral because of technology? Kids can't even spell anymore because of it. And I was feeling bad because I can't remember anybodys phone number anymore because my phone has all the numbers saved. Man when I was younger before the cell phone craze (I'm sounding like a grandpa already), I had about every number in the town of Eagar memorized, or at least all the ones I ever needed. I don't even have my wife's phone number memorized, if my phone broke or was dead or something, I wouldn't even be able to call my wife to tell her. Now I have a personal goal to memorize some numbers that would be very useful and I have always spelled my words out when I do text the little that I do. Also I am trying not to let the cell phone control my entire life. Have you ever just turned your cell phone off for a whole day? All you can think about is what could be happening with your phone during the time your phone is off. You could have a million messages or something bad could happen and someone is trying to get ahold of you and they can't because it is off. Guess what! Life goes on, it doesn't care if you have a cell phone or not. I do like having it but I think I am a culprit of using it too much or revolving my world around it. Don't let it happen to you.
P.S. I could never write as great as the blogmaster Colton.

The only thing extraordinary about my blog is that I do extraordinarily dumb things. Like char my skin to a crisp.
Here is a number for you to memorize: 911
I think that is pretty much the only important one.
I concur about the cellphone language. "Textspeak", they call it. I call it bastardizing our literacy. I also make it a point to spell out all of my words and use proper punctuation. Cretins.
Kudos! Way to rant!
Nonsense Seth, your post was right on! I don't text at all. I refuse. If I want to communicate I'll use my voice or send an email with punctuation and grammar (at least my version of it! :))
