The middle ground of our communication
This isn't as gender specific as I've introduce it as, and I actually find it kinda' liberating to not be tied or even pressed to check or send emails. But to the sista who told me she didn't have an email address (oh actually she did, she forgot the spelling of it and I simultaneously had to prevent my eyes from rolling through the top of my head) and she didn't know shit nor care about the Internet...
It's your choice to have or not have an email account or use the Internet. However, your attempts to make the mere possession and usage of my email account to appear sensless are futile! And the next time e-mail comes up as a topic, puh-leez SPARE me the speech with the following topics:..
- the Internet is evil
- how you're sick of technology
- how you're just a "die hard" old schooler anywayz
- how email is stupid
- (my favorite) how email puts you out of touch with reality.
All I ask is that you don't call me for:
- movie times
- Spanish translations
- directions
- photographs
- business listings
- party info
- general information
- conspiracy theories
- Viagra resources, free porn clips, balding solutions, charities in need of help, gossip, etc..
In all fairness I just won't email you. I'll just wait for you to call me from your "Restricted ID" cell phone.
And stop telling me that you want a TREO like mine. That doens't make any sense. Especially since you don't use the Internet. Argh!
Damn, how old school is THAT?? If I can get my parents on the net (and I'm thinkin my moms is pretty much "in the know" now being net-saavy and all), then what's THAT chic's problem? And she probably doesn't need email and internet to be "out of touch with reality" as her ass is OUT OF TOUCH with reality by NOT having it...((rollin my eyes n' suckin my teeth)) she oughtta quit!!
Hey thanks for stopping by! You're a HOT MESS, but the tips for avoiding the cops was a GREAT read!! THANKS!!! *muah*

Computer illiterate folks aways fucking slay me.
Good post.
And yo - I want a TREO soooo bad. But I've got a RAZR (which I love), and a Palm Zire w/bluetooth, digital cam/video, mp3 player, Word, yadda yadda, and so logistically "I don't need it." But damn that shyt is fly!!
Enjoy.

I know exactly what you mean. Although I don't know anyone who is against the internet persay, I do have "that" friend, who keeps calling me for info. Her excuse is that she can't afford a computer. Umm, they're selling them for $300 over at DELL...HELLLOOO!! Not to mention, we are pimpin' China and India, to get these lower prices, so get'em while they're hot!! I think you can't afford to NOT have a computer, with the pace the world is moving at now.

Sup':
The Treo sucks hard. If you go there, look into the Treo 700. Everyday I'm on the verge of throwing mine out the window.
It's the first "bad phone" I've ever had. Well, it aint THAT bad, but it ain't all that either.

it's a mating ritual, the whole thing. take it easy. let her do her dance and you do yours. there's a beautiful rhythm there. breathe.......

"Mating Ritual?" Wow. Then I don't get it. If ol' girl has a "resticted ID". on her telephone, won't give out her number, and ain't got no e-mail I don't see how we can ever "mate."
(Breathing...)...
