Time Of The Season

Seriously

I think I was recently the butt of a joke on Twitter.

Here’s what I wrote:

I’m watching Family Guy instead of the Democratic National Convention; I mean the Oscars.

The next day I read this:

For the love of all that is holy, people. If you ever have the urge to use a semicolon in a tweet, drop the keyboard and slowly back away.

Okay, so maybe using a semicolon is a bit much. Maybe I should have given that up for Lent. But it gets a little frustrating when stupid has become the norm.

Here’s a text message conversation between a buddy of mine and one of his tenants the other day:

BUDDY

TENANT

What’s your name? Who’s your daddy? Is he rich like me? Has he taken any time to show you what you need to live?
