FACT: Telephones are un-social
Things happened with people and there were consequences. This is global. It happens all over the world and there are lessons to be learned. Everywhere.
1. I talked to someone involved and got some clarification on the matter.
2. I talked to someone who wasn't involved but knew a couple of the parties that were involved. He's not gay, but if we spent a lot of time together, I would totally make some hip remark to prove that I am "with it" and friendly to those accursed folk. Gnarly!
3. I talked to some other people about other stuff.
4. I talked to a stranger today. It was kind of awkward.
5. I talked to myself and gained a greater understanding of me. I think I see eye-to-eye with myself when I look in the mirror.
6. I am too lazy to use bold tags but I trust that the people reading this do not need any particular words emphasized for me to make my point.
7. It's a good thing I don't live with my parents. If I did, I might have too much free time to talk to people.
8. I am on good terms with my immediate family. I send them cards on their birthdays. Even my siblings. Just because.
As you read these words imagine all of the missing tones and inflections that I would use if I were reading this aloud to you over the phone.
To all of my friends who are at each other's throats and having to use critical thinking to interpret events, can't you see that the telephone is a necessary part of maintaining our friendsh--wait, are any of my friends at each other's throats? Uh, why would they even be friends then? Do they need to uphold some sort of shallow veneer that everyone is one great big happy family like the end of a Saturday Night Live episode? Curious.
Anyway, my point is made! Listen to my globality and be amazed at my sagacious wisdom.
