Remember when

Everytime I reach to answer one of my two cell phones, I remember when...

I remember wanting to get a pager so so SO bad. Then when I got it, no one paged me for like a month. I remember getting my own line at my parent's house and learning harsh lessons about long distance phone calls and sitting on the phone. To this day, no matter how good my conversational skills, I can't wait for the conclusion of my phone calls. Call me utilitarian. Maybe even spartan. I never needed the constant connection to the world that is created with cell phones today. I'm looking around me though and trying to understand really who these people are with a phone/bluetooth permanently attached to their ears, always on the phone (AND ESPECIALLY THOSE DRIVERS DOING 30MPH IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY!! GET OFF THE DAMNED PHONE!!!!!! Just wait til I get off probation...)

I guess the question is with all the access we give away with cell phones, email, MySpace and whatever (On top of the home phone and traditional correspondence.) - When do we get silence? Being that I work in both sales and service I get my fill of human interaction everyday. I have a low tolerance for the BS. No sitting on the phone just hanging. No fakery. ABSOLUTELY NO Jaw Jacking!

I just like to remember when I didn't appreciate my time to myself. I did plenty of self exploration and examination. (Does that sound perverted?) But I could have done more. Today, all I want is some quiet time. Maybe I have to get back on my meditation.






It does sound a little nasty...lol But I agree with you. I definitely appreciate any moment of silence I am able to get.
