Ring RIng

Sometimes the phone rings I don't want to pick it up. And if someone is near me and hears my phone ring whether at work, at home, or by any old phone, I usually get the ole "Are you going to answer that?" or "You should probably answer that." I feel that society has somehow over the years gotten the idea that not answering a phone is rude. Why is it that when someone wants to speak to you, that's all they need to warrant your speaking to them? Shouldn't you be given the option to answer the phone? When did manners enter into picking up the phone when it rings? Why must people be instantly gratified whenever they can?

I can understand when someone speaks to you in person and you ignore them how that is rude, but that is face to face. I believe that we are currently using methods of telecommunications as extensions of our physical selves. Telephones are becomming our ears and mouths.

This is me. Trying to whistle and feeling insecure.

Cold Snap

It was so cold in New York City last night, I could hang meat in my sauna because it was more like a walk-in freezer.

It was so cold in New York City last night, I went to bed an woke up a thousand years in the future.

It was so cold in New York City last night, I stuck my TV dinner in the freezer just to heat it up.

Seriously folks, it was cold. And I'm not talking women won't talk to me on the subway cold. I'm talking Hell just opened up its first ice skating store cold. Why do people ice skate in Hell? Because they are being punished.

Just kidding folks, ice skating is a lovely sport. The sport of Kings and high rolling tourists. Has anybody been to Rockefeller Center lately?
