03/03/2011 I believe we've lost control

        So I am a prime example of our loss of control in this society.  I am a proud owner of a cell phone that consumes most of my free time.  Whether it's games, texting, news, twitter, listening to music, fbook, or even blogging I can't get off of the thing.  I was going to write this blog on my phone out of principle but i suck at the slide texting or the voice typing.  I think even out of habit now I'm just on my phone looking for things to do.  Don't get me wrong I think it's incredible that I can download an app that gives me a task manager based on my location.  I however think that I need to get myself in check.  I think me on my phone with my ear buds on shuts me off from the outside world.  I need to open up and see all the things of this life that I'm missing.  Sure now because of my phone I got to see the behind the scenes to the newest Old Spice commercial http://www.youtube.com/oldspice#p/c/99FF19274465FDBA/0/32TZSXG2y7E . But I really think that we are called to reach out to people that are around us which is tough if we're in our own little worlds.   So this is a plea for help to all of you who may read this.  Keep me accountable don't let me become a droid myself.
