Communication

There is no silence there is just constant noise all the time, people are always talking all the time and even with all the talking there is no communication. Even when we say "How are you," we don't mean "How are you?" We don't care, just give us a fine, or a good, just a simple answer and move along. Don't even say pretty good that is a guaranteed follow up question. ". . pretty good? I don't really care, I don't have time.You can't even engage in a full conversation, because you know that as soon as you do someones cell phone is going to start ringing immediatly. Of course it is some obnoxious song that everyone loves to hate, and it keeps ringing and ring and by the time you manage to gig it out of your pocket or fumble through your purse. It stops ringing. You usually never have a full conversation on a cell phone, you are always walking down the streets with your finger jammed in your ear, shushing the other pedestrians, hiding behind dumpsters, shouting, just to hear about your friends new hair cut. "The bangs, how are the bangs? No not the bags, the Bangs are the shorter!?"

It is always better when there is static, then you know that you are losing them. It is horrible when you have perfect crystal clear reception and you are talking for a long time straight, with wonderful reception, only to find that you have lost them, who knows how long you have been talking to your self. Then you are scared to ever have a full conversation again. "Then we were gonna go to the cheese shop, hello, good you're still there, and we knew we were having white wine, still there, okay, and I thought what kind of cheese would be best, did I loose ya, and I like Munster.

Even when you are at home you are going to be inturrupted, there's call waiting, it was really invented as a convenience but it has really turned into a "Many's People Choice Awards" hasn't it. Here you are having a conversation with what you thought was a good friend al all of a sudden there is a click, you know you heard it and they say, "Hold on, I have a call on the other line." You sit there waiting confident they are going to come back, only to have them to come back and say "I have to take this other call" and we all know that they were just on the other line saying, "Hold on I just have to get rid of this other call"
