I have a lot of friends all over the world and there is one thing that they have in common…well, most of them and it’s that they LOVE text messaging.
I’ve received text messages from friends who are in meetings, going in to the movies, the theater, or have seen something funny and just have to share it.
This is the way folks are communicating. It’s modern day note passing when you think about it.
Remember when you were in high school and wanted to share something with your best bud?
You would write it down on loose leaf paper, fold it in some kind of origami, which in retrospect wasn’t the smartest thing to do, given the time and effort, and then toss it at them while the teacher had his/her back turned. This took far too long for me. I want immediate gratification.
Believe me, I would have been in a lot more trouble if I had Mobile Chat back then.
Seems like I got into enough trouble…but it was worth it. You know, I didn’t even mind when the teacher would scoop up one of my notes and read it. Most of the time it was pretty funny stuff.
I had a way with words back then and it usually wasn’t nasty or about anyone in the class.
USUALLY. Once, my Behavioral Science teacher got an eyeful. I received detention. I was class president. I didn’t stay.
If I had been a text messaging whiz, I would have gotten off scot free. Then again, I probably would have gotten caught because I can’t hold in my laughter. I wasn’t the class clown, but I was the class comedian.
Hmmm. Times have changed, haven’t they?

This doesn’t mean it’s all over, but it’s a start.

One of the Jena Six is out on bail.  Keep watching.

Keep praying. Keep fighting for justice.

My friends Dele and Amber are participating in the AIDSCycle event coming up this year.

They’re going to ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles on bicycles to raise money for AIDS research.

It’s a good idea. I’ve ridden long rides for charity, but that one will be a doozy.

Please click on the page I made for them.

Okay, so it’s just a link to Dele’s page, but I would appreciate you all taking the time to investigate.

Having lost friends and family to the disease…it’s something to consider.

So, be a mensch and give it a whirl.

Sure will be glad that you did.

And now, back to the hilarity.
