Did you know there were such Islands?? Yeah, you’re probably living on one right now! Sounds foolish? well just hear me out for a few.Have you been in a elevator recently, and the person coming in is on the cell phone,walks in, walks out and doesn’t even say “Hey”. Or better yet,you walk into a room of people, lets say a waiting room, or lobby and you’re on your cell phone chatting away because you don’t wanna take the time to say hello. Man what kinda world we living in, when we can’t even take the time out to interact with people around us? I know most everyone reading this is guilty of the following senerio: You’ll be ina conversation with a friend, and their phone rings( with some annoying ring tone by the way), and they, without hesitation, pick up the phone and start beeting up there gums while all the time ignoring you, there “Friend”. When I was growing up, if someone rudely butted in a conversation , that was considered most disrespectful . You would’ve got the reaction “who pulled your chain?” or “who’s talking to you?”. But now it’s perfectly normal to consider the person on the phone more important than the one in person.That’s garbage in my opinion,big time! I might as well tell ye,if some one puts me on hold to talk to the one coming in, I hang up. My interpretation of call waiting is” You don’t count,the one calling in does!” Since moving over here to Utah,I’ve actually seen me walking along side someone, and them feel so uncomfortable that they might have to actually say something, that they pick up there phone and start playing with it.Now thats a heap of foolishness! I don’t care you are. It seems people are so caught up in there own world, that they’re saying”how dare you come into my world and be friendly, don’t you see I’m on my Island?” You might not realize or not, but we’re bring up a whole new generation of children that don’t have a clue about respect ,being polite,having just plain ol’ common manners,or just holding a descent conversation without creating there own language,(TEXTING!!!!) hey I might as well tell ye, the day one of my children ever sends me a text while we’re both inside our house,,,that’ll be trouble in da camp bi’.

So the next time your phone rings while you’re talking with someone else, have some good ol’ fashion values and call’em back. Trust me, it won’t be the end of the world as we know it! Tho I’m not sure if the world of today is the one I want to remember?

the “dino dime”,,,,”get off you’re Cell Phone Island” the real estate there is to expensive; the price to pay is you’re integrity,,,,, bring it on back to ya Island Boy!
