Acute - "Social Ambiguousnessitis"

People have recently become part of a diseased community, affected by the rare disease I call: "Social Ambiguousnessitis".

What, you might wonder, is this disease all about?

Well...it is, in fact pretty simple.

People don't know anyone anymore.

To make this text a little less...obsolete...let me tell you why I say this.

Everyone is stuck to the TV, the cellphone, computer, ("Mac or PC?" - jeez)
Let's go, oh no, let's wait another half hour cause I'm waiting to see if the guy I like is attending the party I'm going to on facebook and he hasn't replied yet so...

Oh.... my....lord...

Have we seriously absorbed such a tech handicap that we can no longer relate with people unless it is through channels?

There used to be a time when if u wanted to, say, see sby, you called their home number.
Or rang a doorbell...

How long has it been since you last rang a freaking doorbell?

A couple years?

It's better to text, right?
from the door...

"Hey!, I'm downstairs, care to open the door?"...
And the douche upstairs doesn't come down and open...before doing that you receive a text saying:
"I'll be right down" and then they come...

Awesome dude...

Ever noticed how you get home...and check a thousand channels to see who left you a message?

Send me a fucking postcard.

I'll probably receive it faster than the email u sent to my personal windows live account cause I've got it for msn but check it randomly every 3 or 4 days, you can send it to any of the others I've got, cause y'know, I've got six email addresses I remember...maybe more, but six...

SIX?!

wtf am I thinking?

I've got two blogs, 6 email addresses, facebook, twitter, myspace, sonico, msn, the windows live profile, badoo, and several other useless social channels that turn you into the least social person in the world.

How?

How many hours are consumed checking emails, blogs, social networks, text messages, and, the allmighty answering machine (on yr cell, your office number, your home number, and others)?

There's only so much time per day...

so...

Instead of hanging round your house moping waiting for the phone to ring, msn to tingle, facebook chat to pop! or notifications to appear in any of these shitty things...

Put your shoes on...and go visit a friend...

Worse thing that can happen, is he's not home.

(If that is the case, go read a book, have some coffee or something...or if you're not a loner, do, please call a friend and ask them out for coffee....but no texting. a good old "hey man, wanna get together?" yeah where? "bar right across the street from yr place?, say in....half an hour?"Sure, "Cool, see ya there", See ya.

Wave, smile "Heeeeeey dudeeee"

Communicating is important.
Talking is important.
Seeing your face when you talk is important.
Showing affection is important.

Enjoy life, and people in it...both of them have an expiration date.
