Why don't you text me back?

You know sometimes I get so upset. I would send a text to a friend and then just not hear back from them - how rude!! Right?! Wrong - it serves me right, because I do the exact same thing, so why do I get so upset, it's just coming back to me what I do to them.
Every time this happens, I feel like they might not like me anymore or would rather ignore me than talk to me. Then I look at the reason I don't text back sometimes for days ; it is in fact not that I don't want to talk to them or hate them, it's pure laziness. I am a bloody lazy friend - no wonder I can count them on my ten fingers and then still have a few left over. I suck as a friend.
But this laziness, is this the reason my friends don't text back?

Then another thing; are we as a society becoming so lazy that we would rather text than phone one another and have real conversations? If I really wanted to talk to my friends, shouldn't I just pick up the phone and dial their number?
This scares me, we are falling into a digital world, an electronic funk and social networking is taking over being social - the bar discussions, the kitchen chatter, the debates around the braai. We are losing the ability to talk to people standing right in front of us, we would rather look at our computer and cellphone screens than strike up a random conversation.

i think my 'why don't you text me back?' question has been answered. JUST PHONE A FRIEND!

Ranting and Ranting

I wish to rant a little.

Yesterday on the news the police commissioner Bheki Cele was suspended, this in itself is great news. But the good news isn't all that good, because while on his suspension he will be receiving all his benefits, his FULL salary pending the outcome of the investigation on the lease fiasco, which cost the state millions. NOW after he has wasted and embezzled money from us, the tax payer, Zuma just suspends him and Cele still gets paid. The majority of the country is probably happy with this, but what they fail to realize is that we are now paying for Cele to sit on his ass and take a holiday - can you say CORRUPTION!!!! Fuck! Cele should have been suspended, his benefits he could keep and maybe only a 1/4 of his salary or nothing at all. He is not feeling the punishment, he is feeling the holiday. THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS. Just the other day it was in the news that some magistrates had been suspended on full pay for between a year and four years and their cases were still not resolved. What the hell are they then doing, I'll tell you what. They are kicking back and getting fat while our taxes go straight into their pocket. AAAHHHHH!!! this is INSANE!! WTF!

I'll have to stop writing before I get reported. Thank you for letting me rant a little.

Have you ever had friends that just were so awesome that it seems like they just ... i don't know, get or have everything? I know it sounds petty, but let me be a little petty right now and then I can snap back out of it. Every time you see them, they have these fantastical stories of things that have happened to them - this new guy or guys and they can't make up their minds about and one of them is actually somebody that you admire. I laugh along, but I am really sad about it too. I guess I am just jealous that she is getting all sorts of attention and here I am, 4:30am, writing my petty problems onto the Internet, because I had a bad dream. Usually I have the job satisfaction to comfort me, but not today. My own procrastination is making my life hell and I wish I could just be better, but maybe I need this little bit of drama in my life to have any drama at all?
Petty, but I just had an epiphany!
