stuff to think about

Well,  It’s been 543 days since that fateful day in my life where I became single once more..  You may think that’s a long time, and believe me, you have no idea.  The things that have happened to me, and the things I have done, are almost too numerous to mention. One theme that keeps popping up, though, is the fact that I have no luck in meeting women.  It’s just hard to meet women these days. I guess that makes me sound old fashioned, but hear me out, because I think I’m on to something.  It used to be that you could go up to any random person and start chatting them up.  This went for men and women.  I mean, it was easy to walk up to somebody and start a conversation.  Nowadays, if you do that, they look at you funny, worrying if you’re a serial killer or something like that.  And that’s if they get off of their cell phone long enough to even acknowledge your existence.  If you goto a mall, or to a grocery store and walk around for maybe five minutes you’ll see what I’m talking about.  Everyone has a cell phone glued to their ear. We have truly become a nation of cyborgs, and haven’t even realized it.  If it’s not cellphones, it’s mp3 players.  We have truly gotten to the point where we are all in our own little worlds, and no one seems to notice.  Is it me, or does anyone else see this??  I mean, even I’m guilty this problem. I have a cell phone/mp3 player that I carry around with me, and an ipod that I use when I’m not on the phone.  Does anyone see this as a problem?  Even though we are more connected now than we ever have been in history, we spend less and less time meeting people we don’t know, less and less time actually socializing.
