now I'm bored and old...

I was getting an eye exam this evening, and it took me to a part of Buffalo I'm not in much. On the way home I was driving past a friend's street, and thought I'd pop in and say hi. Then I realized that, duh, you just can't pop in anymore, and least without seeming weird, rude, or both. Pop ins are a major social faux pas in the age of texts, cell phones, email, facebook, myspace, twitter, ect. Ten years ago a pop in visit would be acceptable. Fifteen years ago, it was the norm. Sure, you could call someone's land line phone and let them know you wanted to visit, but that's only if you had phone access and the person answered. So you would just pop in. But alas, you can't do it anymore.

So instead of a social call, I got Mighty Taco, went home, went on the internet alone, and typed this. Progress?
