Can you hear me now?

I’ve noticed from being down here the past few semesters that it is really hard to meet people. I mean i've met new people from school but there is base work to start friendships there because you go to all the same classes... it’s easy, My friend Pat and I were talking last night about this, he said when he’s working, out of maybe 10 people in the line to get their merch, maybe 7 or 8 of them were on their cell phones, theres the problem!

Too many people take their cell phones wherever they go, and instead of being that person in line that u know turns around and asks " hey, whats up my name is Hank Johnson, how are you?" and start a conversation with someone new and open up doors for new experiences, we just sit there like 8 out of 10 americans yapping on our cell phones all intertwined in our own little network of people afraid to string out.

I went to the mall the other night and instead of taking the opportunity to call someone i already knew, i instead struck up a conversation with a group of people about to watch a movie, I ended up going to the movies with them and hung out with them a little while after and now i know a few more people, opening the door for many new experiences.

I mean when you really think about it, the smallest thing like that meeting a few people, how far does that take you off your normal track of life. Could be a bad thing or vice versa, I don't know. Its my opinion if your having trouble meeting people, the solution is to leave that damn cellular in your pocket on silent mode, and only take it out to add new numbers...which brings us right back around and you’ll be in a new network. But hey you’ll know how to stray from it from time to time if you have to.
