The newly coined phrase


I just want to take credit for this saying before it becomes huge... I came up with this beauty a few months ago when my friend got his new cellphone. He just got the new droid and we were driving somewhere in the city and he kept trying to text; and if you don't know already, it's a lot harder to text and drive (not a good idea by the way) with the touch screens. Your fingers can't just feel their way through the buttons. You actually have to look at the damn thing to type anything. So as he swerved all over... just saying man, "don't Droid and Drive."

Texting vs. Status updates


I used to be way more into Facebook. Like I was addicted to it, just like everyone else I know. Went cold turkey for a little over a month and I didn't really miss it. Then went back to it just because it's a good way to share pictures more than anything. I rarely do status updates just because I really think they are just a way for someone to either take a cheap shot at someone, or just say the most retarded inane things that no one really cares about. Admittedly some of my good friends are pretty good at saying stupid things that I actually find amusing in their status updates, but 90 percent of status updates are terrible. This is not new news. Everyone pretty much agrees that most status updates are complete bullshit. But I realized yesterday that when I text my friends, it's usually nothing more than a targeted status update. Granted some are useful, like "where are you?" "you want to get a drink after work?" but a lot of them are like "dude, there are a lot of hot chicks out on walnut st." or "not that hungover". I guess texting is just a way of sending a status update that won't seem that retarded to the person receiving it. Maybe I am wrong.
