Blog Entry 17 of 25 Making smart, sexy!
A no-holds-barred, cliche-driven, ad-hok, blog that will rock several socks all the way off! The blog is a peak into the mind of a typical youth in colorado.

Reading is sooo cool.
Contributed by: James Fiebiger   on 7/26/2007

How does one read sarcasm? Its a good question. In an era of perpetual text messages, how do you decern between some sarcastic sh!t and some serisous bussiness? I think we should institute a standard policy of sarcasm use in writing. Perhaps an emoticon ;-)? Nah. Perhaps Italics? But you can't text with italics unless you have an iphone. Eureka! We can solve that problem simply by upgrading to an iphone as a society. But that wont happen prolly for another year or so. Well how am i supposed to know if i am reading something that is sarcastic or not? I cant read inflection. And sadly most of my commication efforts have been reduced to IMing or texting or facebook messages or facebook wallwrites. Its kinda sad. I try to make phone calls or even better talk to someones face, but its damn near impossible for me. Nobody ever picks up my calls. Damn Caller ID standard.

You think they will ever make a novalty rotary-dial cell phone? Nah. But they could prolly make a program that allows for that basic feel on an iphone. 8-0.

Back to the point. At least when you read a story or an article, you can get a feel for the tone of voice and intended meaning of dialog. Texting is just a short blurb. A sentence. Fragment. It is open to a wide variety of interpretations.

Going back and reading this. Boy this is one boreing topic I picked. Who would read this? "duh, um, i think that sarcasm and texting are bad, durhhhh". That last sentece sounds funny in my head. I wonder if you will think its funny too? If you could here me say it, it would be funny. I am counting on you reading something the way i wrote it. Whoa! Do you know what this means?!?! We are telepathic! We dont even have to talk to one another. Me and you. You the reader, and me the writer. But you are getting to hear my thoughts the way I am thinking them. I sit down at my computer for 15 or 30 min and just think through my fingers. Then i press Preview and Upload. Then anyone can read my thoughts. Its privlaged information. It the actual thoughts that I am thinking right now. And we bloggers share a little part of ourselves with the entire world. We can sit at our computers in complete darkness and isolation and connect to the thoughts and feelings of an entire community of web journalists and bloggers. Wowie. We aren't even just telepathic, we are telepathic over time. My thoughts of NOW, frozen in time. For anyone to read at anytime. I can even go back and read my work, and remember how I felt when i wrote that. When I was. What it smelt like there. Wow. Blogging isnt even blogging anymore. Its an internet time capsule of the thoughts of an entire culture. Woooa. No wonder every body is blogging.
