It is now Officially Official

It is officially official.  Machines have beat the shit out of humans. Technology has finally won the war and has badly destroyed what little effect humans once had. The power of speech, touch, sound and togetherness is now gone.  In it's place is that little thing we carry around with us wherever we are, wherever we go and whatever we may be doing. I am referring to our mobile device's that may include but not be limited to Cell Phones, Tablets, IPads, Smart phones, laptops, and any other name you might so call them.

         It was not so long ago when only a small percentage of the population was really involved with cell phones or owned one.  Older folks had no idea what they were, nor cared. Kids didn't have one because most of their parents didn't have one themselves.  Working business people were the ones with these devices and controlled most of that business.
        We all know what this little company with a bitten Apple has done to the business.  We also know how this industry has changed our lives.

       But how has it changed our lives ? How are things different today as opposed to the 1990's ????????????????????
      Holy Shit ?  What a dumb question.  It is both wonderful and terrible at the same time.
      It is wonderful because of so many great and terrific ideas that are out there. We are an instant world. Nothing goes unnoticed and everything is fair game.  News is spread around in a matter of seconds.  We have access to learning tools that are beyond belief.  We are able to contact and send business information , health info, and anything instantly. We have a safety net of instant connection anywhere and anytime. We also have music and the best games at hand.
But what I think is completely important are things that somehow might be overlooked by others.  Lets talk about Sexting. What a wonderful thing .(Just so long as our daughters or granddaughters don't use it).  How much better would my younger days have been if this was available then ?    How wonderful are these devices for storing information in a locked file that your spouse can not find.  This could have saved and prevented so many problems as opposed to hiding pieces of paper with other females telephone numbers on there during some of my marriages.... And let us not forget going to see a hooker with the two call system. This is a breeze today as oppressed to the early days when we had to find a telephone booth and stop off and make that call.......A Telephone Booth ?????   What the Fuck is That ?   Also for all those cheating married people who can easily speak on their throw away cell phones to their cheating boy or girl friends, as opposed to taking the chance and calling from your home phone years ago.......Busted ??????   Ahhhhhhhh....the good of the modern day mobile device.

       But for every little bit of good, a little bit of shit must come as well......Now we have those stupid fucks yakking away on their phone in their cars and not paying attention to the road....I hate these bastards more than anything.  Of course we all have our list of misuse of phone users.. Here are some of my biggest pet peeves..........Loud talking on the phone in the gym, restaurants, or other places of business. Probably the worst offenders are the texting assholes at the movies. Somehow I just want to take that smartphone and stick it right up their ass.... What is your biggest peeve ? I know you have one.
     Naturally I have only covered a few of the many pros and cons of these wonderful devices we do not leave home without....
      Only in America kids.

Are you allowed to kill someone who won't shut up on their Cell ????

Yesterday I decided to treat myself to a wonderful manicure and pedicure at my favorite place. (Actually , it's not a treat, because I have a regular schedule there.  Boy, am I a girl ???)  OK, so there I was nice and relaxed with my little feeties soaking in the warm water, nice music in the background, drinking a nice ice cold bottle of water............when this jerk opposite me (in the picture) makes a phone call and continues to blab on her cell for at least 20 minutes.  That is not a bad thing, except for the fact she was screaming and not talking.  I made nice gestures to her which resulted in nothing.  I then raised my voice a little and mentioned how rude she was .  There were several other woman around who simply smiled and shook their head in agreement with me. I did this for a while and then gave her my famous stare that would scare anyone.  Well, it did not scare her.  Nothing worked and she just did not give a shit about anything.  She was some stupid real estate sales person trying to make a sale, and I now know all about her, her husband, and the miserable life she leads.  I was almost ready to admit defeat when..............................................................................
    
My daughter calls me on my cell phone.  Oh, I could not wait to answer this call.  I quietly said hello to M, and then screamed in a very uncharming voice that some fucking loud mouth inconsiderate bitch has been screaming on her phone for the last half hour, and that I was ready to take her phone and shove it up her ass...... Whew.......... I then proceeded to tell my daughter in a low, inside, normal voice that I was sorry for screaming and that I would call her back after my pedicure.......Guess What ????
The phone bitch finally hung up, got quiet, looked the other way, and realized that she was approaching a very slow and painful death if she did not do that.  Everyone around me finally smiled and sort of got relaxed, I was able to hear the music, and I once again was able to relax and enjoy my pedicure.  So .....To you inconsiderate lady in the picture...............I only have 2 words for you.........Yes, you know what they are......
       The real question is, What would you have done if this bitch was across from you while you were trying to relax while getting a nice spa pedicure?????

I Phones at the Gym aka why do only women do this ?????????????

Back in Feb, I wrote a little crap about cell phones in the gym. Now, several months later I find it is time to update this. Notice that even the title has been updated.  Today while at the gym I got really pissed at people on their mobile devices.  It is one thing to be talking loud during a workout, but now there has been a new dimension added.  Not only has it been added at my gym, but seems to be only from overweight females.  Your probably wondering what that is ????????  It's these fatties sitting on their ass, talking ( I mean yelling ) on their phones, but not working out.  Not doing a damn thing other than talk about how their social lives are.  How do I know ?  It's simple.  Everyone at LA Fitness knows because they are just sitting on their fat ass's and yakking away, but not using the machine.  The only use of the machine is that of resting that fat ass on it.  Why do they do this ? why must it be done at the gym ? Why is it that important to let the world know what they are doing ?  No one gives a shit about their dull, boring, pathetic lives.  I want to go up to some of these people and scream in their face at the same audio level they are speaking in.   But as annoying as that is, what is worse is the inability for someone else to use the machine they are on.

It's not really a problem if and when they are on the tread mill because then I just hang out and watch them pant and sweat and prepare for a major collapse right there. But when they are on one of those obscure machine (where there are only 1 or 2 ) that is when it becomes a problem.

I am really not picking on fat people, but I have to call it like I see it.  What I really would like however, is to hear the other end of the conversation where she is talking about her wonderful social life.  I am sure that is really a big thing !   But on a lighter note.............Happy Memorial Day to All.......
