But, I will try my best to give my unfailing wisdom today, cos goodness knows what you'll do without it...
It's interesting watching folks in a doctor's office. Through half-lidded eyes and modest nosiness, I studied how every person was playing around on their phones; texting, games, what have you.
My initial thought was what happened to reading or if, like myself, truly sick, attempting to nap? But then I observed a little child baking pretend cakes in the pretend house while her texting mother pretended to be interested.
I know for sure at my "delicate" age that this scene made me sad; I know how quickly these years with your young kidlets fly by. I wanted to gently take this mother's phone and stomp on it!

I know for sure that if Justin Beiber doesn't smarten up and get his act together (real life act) he will soon become yesterday's pop hero...
How can I know this for sure?
Sorry, Beib fans, but our young lad from Canada is nothing more than today's pop sensation with all the teenyboppers. He is famous, but he is NOT an icon. Pop stars come and go with every generation; their misbehavior is less forgivable than long-standing super-stars.
His fans will outgrow him anyway, but these days, he is going out of his way to alienate them...
Who does he think he is when attacking the press? The Hulk?
Me tinks this boy's fame has gone to his head! Or else he hasn't checked the mirror out lately, because in reality he is just a skinny, white boy (despite the rapper language and arse hugging pants)!
Fighting, using foul language, cancelling concerts, etc. is making "The Beib" little more than an unfortunate joke...
and the Selena Gomez break-up will only go so far.

I'm sooo sorry to hear you aren't feeling well!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am with you on both points! I take the train to work and back each day and just the other morning I was looking around at the people on the train and noticed almost everyone was playing with their phones. So I counted, and out of the 17 people sitting by me, 14 were playing their phones or ipads. And this is all age groups, not just the younger crowd! It's kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteHope you feeling better!
Feel better!!!
ReplyDeleteJust to be devils advocate, lots of people read on their phones...e books, newspapers, etc. you just can't tell. It used to drive me nuts with Chris being always on his phone until I realized he was spending the same time doing the same things, just reading the news on the phone instead of the newspaper...
hope your feeling better soon..we had it here last wk..stinks being sick.
ReplyDeleteand I agree..texting is out of control..i have seen people text each other when they were sitting by each other!
