Another change in the seasons. You have got to love it! Crisp air. Cool nights. Warm friends...........
In this era of facebook, I have come to realize that the human touch is what I crave. The actual connection of two people who can look into each others eyes and respond to the non-verbal clues given out.
Don't get me wrong. I am a facebook "junkie". I love peeking into the lives of friends, old friends, and people who I have met just once. I love the quizzes designed to tell us the day we will die along with the witty daily banter of Karen Walker! Our lives have become the cyber-reality of life.
Dr. Small and I have many discussions regarding this exact thing. Dr. Small has the "fortunate" job of teaching in the public school system. And, to make it even better, it is English. Society has changed. It always evolves. But, I don't know if our "next" generation is going to be up to the challenge. Communication is now a series of three letter words, sent via text, without any real feeling or sentiment. I have heard first hand how difficult it is for todays youth to actually compose a sentence, complete a thought, or better yet--spell a word! Huge changes are going to have to be made!
Back to my previous rant.......... Is it so hard for someone to actually carry on a conversation without starting it with: "are you on facebook", "give me your number so I can text you"........ ENOUGH.......Call me, write me or BETTER yet.......speak with me face to face!
Thank God it's Friday!.........holla at a ho!
