You just don't like talking on the phone. Confess. What's so terrible about it?

Ugh.

So here’s the thing.  I’m sure my voice is relatively normal.  But I hate it.  Every time I hear myself, I cringe.  It’s just not the same as the voice in my head.  

Add to that the fact that I think my brain is like a cat.  My mouth will say, “Hey brain!  Get over here!  It’s time to talk.  Let’s do this!”, and then my brain will slowly swing it’s head to the side to look at my mouth, flutter it’s dreary eyelids, flick it’s tail, and after a suitable pause, offer a gaze which communicates one simple  phrase.  ”No.”

It might be that I tend to censor myself too much.  I think too precisely on the event, to coin a phrase.  Written expression, with the time afforded for contemplation, is a much more comfortable form of communication for me.  

That is also why you haven’t heard any audio posts of yours truly on Tumblr.  I think of great things to say, but when I go to record anything, it comes out all jumbled and I can never create something I feel comfortable posting.  

In short, I’m a complete lame-o.

“

This generation doesn’t make phone calls, because everyone is in constant, lightweight contact in so many other ways: texting, chatting, and social-network messaging. And we don’t just have more options than we used to. We have better ones: These new forms of communication have exposed the fact that the voice call is badly designed. It deserves to die.

Consider: If I suddenly decide I want to dial you up, I have no way of knowing whether you’re busy, and you have no idea why I’m calling. We have to open Schrödinger’s box every time, having a conversation to figure out whether it’s OK to have a conversation. Plus, voice calls are emotionally high-bandwidth, which is why it’s so weirdly exhausting to be interrupted by one.

July 2010

I hate bruised apples, so it’s handy that the ones I just bought just bounced across the floor in 12 different directions.

Dear Tumblr,

If you would like to donate funds towards buying me a smartphone, in the future I can share pictures with you such as the blonde I just saw at the supermarket with her (cl)ass hanging out of her shorts.

Sincerely,

Me

The Pro Animated Short → youtube.com

Based on the comic by Garth Ennis, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti.

It’s pretty dirty, crass, rude and offensive.

You guys will love it.
