Texting is the new black
Over the holidays I noticed something that, while quite evident, always seemed less obvious to me.
I must have received two dozen (yeah, I'm popular) "Happy Holidays!" and "Happy New Year
" texts over the last couple weeks. However, I only received 5-6 actual Christmas cards in the mail and two phone calls (thanks Mom and Dad).
Are we getting that lazy and impersonal that we simply type a message to our friends and family instead of calling to say it with love in our voice? I probably sound ungrateful to have received so many well-wishes, but really I'm not. I appreciate that my friends and family thought of me (and most likely everyone else in their phones contact list) and took 4 seconds out of their day to text me a Holiday message.
Of course, I'm only kidding.
I am a HUGE fan of texting. I prefer it over all forms of communication aside from actually being engaged in a face-to-face conversation (bonus if there are frosty beverages involved). I even got myself a fancy iPhone so I can text at the speed of light. But don't expect to be getting a mass text message from me anytime soon. If you would like to know what I have to say to the masses, just check my facebook status ![]()
