shut up, sit down, and read

respectfully

What’s something you believe everyone should know?

Currently listening to: A Little Respect – Erasure

Soul, I hear you callingOh baby, please, give a little respect to me
And if I should falterWould you open you arms out to me?We can make love not warAnd live at peace with our heartsI’m so in love with youI’ll be forever blueWhat religion or reasonCould drive a man to forsake his lover?

But in all seriousness…

81% of Americans check their phone while dining out.
Americans check their phone forty-six times per day.

Whenever I was out on dates, I never checked my phone unless we were fact checking something that was discussed in our conversation.  I figured everything that I needed at that moment was right in front of me.  Besides, it’s poor etiquette and just say no to phubbing. 

Even now, I don’t like looking at my phone because it distracts me from being in the moment and from doing my work.  There are times when I turn off my phone to get away from the virtual world.  I have two phones on me at all time (one for personal and the other for work).  I dislike being tethered to them, but it is what it is…for now.

My imagination is also extremely active, so whatever I conjure up in my head is going to be far more interesting than whatever is online.  Just let me be delulu for a bit and enjoy the moment.

    First, I love that song. Second, very good point. Your phone is not going anywhere. Be here in the now!
