Too dependent

This weekend was one of the best ones I've had in quite some time. Why, you may ask? Well, it was my first time going to a game at (LSU) Tiger Stadium. The reason for my caving in and going to a game was that they were playing my alma mater.

Even though they whupped us pretty good, it was still a great time, despite the overabundance of drunken frat boys and sorority girls and bumper to bumper to traffic. It was good to see friends from college, former professors, and of course students (past and present).

Speaking of which, it warmed my heart to know that both drum majors for my alma mater are former students of mine. Guess I did something right, huh?

So, anyway, in an effort to save gas and whatnot, I had the little woman drop me off on campus and I'd call her when the game was over to come get me. Little do I know after a couple of texts from some friends, my phone was dead.

Now, you may be asking yourself, why didn't I use a friend's phone. I would have more than happy to, except for my seat wasn't anywhere near anyone I knew. As a matter of fact, I was forced to sit on the LSU side. I guess I really shouldn't complain about that, though, since it was a free ticket.

Back to what I was saying, before my phone died, I texted her to say pick me up where she dropped me off. It was just a matter of how long that would be, especially since she doesn't watch football.

Ok, so, we all know how dependent we are on cell phones these days. I know some people who depend more on their cell phone than they do food and water! I remember when I was in college, there were pay phones, but these days, since almost everyone has a cell phone....well, they are nearly impossible to find. Lord knows I could have used one instead of having to sit around for a couple of hours.

Of course, there was some nice eye candy to be seen while i was waiting...lol

So, that was my weekend! Thanks for reading!

Pointless Study

I was reading on-line somewhere that they did this study on texting. Personally, I despise anything having to do with texting. As a matter of fact, that goes for using a cell phone for anything other than talking. Call me old fashioned, but a phone should be used as a phone, not a mini-computer Do we really need all these gadgets and gizmos and other pointless apps?

Anyway, on to the point of this post, this study really let us all in on something we didn't know *not the sarcasm*. Teen girls text more than boys. Raise your hand if you didn't already know that.

Can you believe that money was actually spent studying this? I mean, this is what we spend our hard earned tax dollars on, to find out that girls text more than boys. Do we really need to know that?

And we wonder why we don't live in a future like we expected because of The Jetsons and Back to the future II, its because of these stupid studies!
