Cell phone reception

You are not that important. What you have to say is not that interesting. It is ok that sometimes people cannot reach you.

No one needs to be reachable 24/7. Humankind made it four thousand years without a cellphone and you can too. If you are so important that you really need to be available AT ALL TIMES, you probably wouldn’t read my blog.

I understand that some people need to reachable. For example some doctors (not PhD’s or dermatologists) need to be available (most of the people). If you are responsible for a young child or an elderly person, you want signal. And if you are high on the transplant you list, it’s a good idea to be available.

But for the rest of us….If we miss a call, it’s ok. It can wait. Life continues. You can call them back.

Facebook Part !

Growing up in a city, people who always moving. The story was that their parents were taking them to the suburbs because inner city schools weren’t safe, but because no every heard from them again, we never really knew what happened to them. Thanks to the magic of facebook I know these people are alive and well, and attended suburban high schools.

My mom really loves facebook. She has a smart phone and is logged onto facebook all the time. She gets annoyed when people call; because the phone is just for facebook and the occasional music listen. One of her favorite facebook activities is to closely read my cousins profile, then tattle to my aunt (who doesn’t like to go on facebook)

Stuff that facebook is good for
1) Founding out those kids who ‘moved away’ growing up are alive and well.
2) Found out who is gay. Is competition to see where more people turned out to be gay: 4th grade karaoke party or synagogue youth group
3) Keeping up with my pals in Costa Rica (one of the newest first world counties)
4) Getting invited and hearing about cool events
5) Keeping up with people you wouldn’t other keep in touch with
Stuff that facebook is bad for
1) Keeping up with people you wouldn’t otherwise keep up with
2) Knowing all the life details about people you barely know
3) Spending all your time on facebook
4) Founding out some you used to be involve with gay
5) Finding out about stuff you weren’t invited too.


Activities to do instead of facebook
1) Go outside
2) Watch TV
3) Create a blog
4)

There are only three because facebook is completely awesome use of your time.

Air conditioning

I always think both the heat and air condition are up too high. My body can adjust to most temperature

(much like a reptile) so I don’t need artificial heating up and cooling down. But even you normal blooded 1st worlders waste are wasting too much energy. Your body is supposed to cool you down by sweating, not a machine that makes you so cold you can walk around your office in a suit and tie. And if you’re too hot you probably don’t belong there.

Edit
I once got yelled at for walking around a Walgreens for hours because I didn’t have air conditioning.
