Texting our way to Preparation H

How disconnected are we becoming?
I sat and watched a group of high school aged people sit in a restaurant together at one table. Six of the group of ten were texting each other from across the table. Talking to each other but instead of using their mouths they did it with their fingers. I do use texting, but,...
Maybe it a generational thing, yet it seems sad. They all went out together, but they are as away from each other as it gets. Electronics have replaced direct interaction with spacial interaction.
How numb are we going to get?
I read an Internet article warning about dangerous domain names to avoid. It also identified various countries domain Id's, and where to and where not to shop for Prozac. Internet pharmaceuticals, I guess is very big business and this was an article on how to get drugs without getting your computer hacked. Obviously, so we can by more drugs later.
How long?
There is a new trend going on in clubs where male are rubbing their bodies with Preparation H. Apparently, it not only treats hemorrhoids, but tightens the skin. Guys are using it to look more buff to meet girls.

When I wanted to meet a girl, and wanted to dance, I asked. Then once I got her phone number instead of texting her I used the phone to talk to her, and when we went out we talked so more. To get notice I went with my friends and laughed very loudly. We played pool or darts, and talked with the other people around us. I would sit at a bar or along the counter in a diner, and meet people. I interacted, and sometimes it was awkward, and a little uncomfortable. It was always about being open, and really in tune to the environment that I was in. It takes practice, maybe a little courage, but I would practice sitting at the dinner table with my family, and sometimes by going out to dinner with friends.

I guess talking to others on a personal level is truly becoming an art form. It may explain the need for all the Prozac.

Bumbas,...Happy Trails!
