The Text Message...

I hate talking on the phone, I really do. Unless its important or has to due with money, i cant say i have held a conversation over 2min while on the phone. Its not that im bad at holding conversations, its mostly due to the fact that most people dont really ever have shit to talk about. Why waste my time listening to something that you just could have told me in a txt message? The Text message has has forever changed the way people communicate with each other. No longer do we have to worry about that akward silence that come from a phone conversation gone left. Dont like the way someone sounds on the phone? Send them a text. Got a new "bun joint" that you want to talk to while in class? Text them. Simple right? Apprently not so much for some of us.

The main problem with text messages is this: Most people lack "text messaging etiquette". Now at this point your thinking to yourself: Am I one of thos people? Chances are your doing just fine. But for who are lacking in "text messaging etiquette", heres a few simple rules to follow:

• Thou shall not mass text.
• Thou shall not text someone who has not yet responded to an earlier text.
• Thou shall not START a text past 1AM
• Thou shall not drunk text exes (unless he/she started it)
• Thou shall not use LOL or smiley faces as a man.... EVER
• Thou shall not ask out a girl for the first time or break up with a girl/boy via text
• THOU SHALL NOT SEND ONE WORD TEXT MESSAGES! Not only is it annoying, it kills the entire flow of the conversation.

I'd love to write more on this subject but im currently sitting in class so look out for part 2 at a later date.
