STEPH DEROSA: KTHXBYE >>>

One of the girls within my dive bar crew had a relentless obsession with her cell phone on this day. Not so much receiving phone calls and being on the phone, it was more about the text messaging. Oh,don't worry, I'm not about to deny my love for the unlimited texting service in my mobile phone contract¬" but at least I keep it respectable and civilized. Not my friend, unfortunately. That girl was texting almost the entire time we were together. It was rude and extremely disrespectful. As we ordered, at the table, during lunch, it was impossible to have a conversation with her. Her priorities were obviously elsewhere, and she was more focused on whom she was texting than whom she was with. I told her to get the hell away from me with that damn phone and all her texting or I was going to throw it in the rainy, flooded Sumner street.

I sat on Captain Jack's crapper that day and thought about texting. Check out my thoughts on the Weekly Volcano Web site.
