My first post



This blog is about certain texting I see, fun facts and other texted related things. Personally I'll have to admit that I have and do text in class. It's a bad habit I know, but sometimes class just gets so boring. I need to work on that. Any who I experienced something stupid this past week. I was driving to school a couple days ago, and I was in the right lane behind this old blue car. It looked like it was made in the 90's. Well we were really far back because there's a lot of traffic in the morning around this time. About five minutes passed and we finally got to the top right under the light. I was still behind this blue car and we all know we can turn right on red if it's all clear. But his girl was just not going, and it was really frustrating. I was getting a little road rage honestly. The light finally turned green for us to go, so I'm thinking "thank goodness!" Then I realize she still isn't moving. Now I was mad. There was room between her car and the curb for me to squeeze through so that's what I did. It's funny because she was so far over the line just sitting there like she was parked. I checked to make sure her hazard lights weren't on. They weren't. So I pulled up next to her and I finally realize she has her phone crammed in her face. SHE'S BEEN TEXTING. I was so mad and I just thought "how stupid could you get." I just shook my head and drove on. I just wonder when she finally realized when the light was green because when I looked in my mirror she was still there. It makes me laugh now. So I thought I'd look up some fun facts this week and I got some pretty interesting ones. They say over 18.5 billion text messages are sent every month, like wow. The highest peak in texting is between 10:30 and 11:00 pm. Something interesting I saw was a website said people who text more than 120 text messages a day are more likely to become binge drinkers or drug users. I just thought that was interesting and wonder how they got that fact. Last fact that I thought was funny was that it's a fact that 51% of women would rather receive a text message than a card on special occasions. I'm guilty of that fact. This generation is all technology so what do people expect? I'll be observing every little thing when I see someone texting so we'll see what I come a crossed next week. See ya J
