Oddities in News, Vol. I

I love the weird things that come across the news. I am amazed and inspired by them. There are some truly special people in this world and I mean that in every sense of the word. I just read this story on redorbit.com that a girl sent 14,528 texts in one month. That is 484 texts a day. Which translates into a text every 2 minutes of every waking hour. HOLY SHIT!!!! What in gods name can you text about that much. I mean seriously. I like to text, but I have trouble getting through 250 in a month. I know others that text a hell of a lot more, but 14,528. I am flabbergasted. Astonished. Appalled. Disappointed.

It makes you wonder what the world is coming to when something like this happens. What happened to the phone call. It is a lost art. It is now all email and text. The less human contact, the better. I am no better. When it comes to conflict, I would much rather not talk to the person. I am no better. But I should be. And so should the rest of the world.
