Anti-social media

Today's blog entry comes from reader Dave McNichols, a Rancho resident who appears to hate social media more than I. This is his poem? song? letter to the editor?

(Sing to the tune "I'm a little teapot")

Look at me now

Know what I am doing

Then you'll say WOW


Twitter Twitter Facebook

What is my status

I might be in the bathroom

Or I might be climbing Everest


Twitter Twitter Facebook

It's important for you to know

What will we do when

Oprah quits her show


Twitter Twitter Facebook

I'm receiving a text, stop singing

Must be something important

Hold on...It's difficult to Twitter, Facebook, text and drive in a foreign city while updating my GPS.



Ok...I slowed down to 50 mph so I can manage everything.


Updated Twitter to show new speed.

Updated status on Facebook to "slowing down....".


Ok, reading text....

Updated Twitter to show "reading text".

Updated Facebook status to "reading important text".

Decided Twitter should match Facebook so sent new Twitter showing "reading impotent text".


Received another text stating I misspelled a word in my last Twitter update.

Updated Twitter to show "last update should have read reading important text"

A Facebook string started debating if texts can be impotent.


I don't have time to join it because I'm currently updating Twitter, Facebook, reading text and driving while trying to take a nice scenic drive in the country.


Back to the important text....Dave, can u gig on mar 7..tb.

This was important.

It's only 4 months away.


Responded to text "need to chk calendar".

Updated Facebook status to "done reading text".

Facebook string regarding "impotent text" now has over 327 comments.


Don't any of these people have jobs?


If they do, is this what they do at work?


No wonder our economy is completely jacked up.
