I am a smartphone addict and the world is going to hell.

  Nomophobia -- the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. A drastic change happened in my life this past year. I ditched my trusty old flip phone from the dinosaur age -- the one I never texted on and barely used to even make phone calls -- for a damn smartphone. What the hell was I thinking? Now …

When God’s Your Facebook Friend

[It's early morning. I'm folding a mountain of laundry. A bolt of lightning cracks overhead and a blinding light fills the room. I drop my husband's underwear to the floor, shield my eyes and squint at the ceiling.] Me: What the...? God: [voice booms] IT IS I! Me: God? Is that You? God: [yells] YES! OF COURSE IT'S ME! [mutters] Didn't I …

On Blogging

Look! I've written another post on writing! Wahoo! Maybe it's this long winter, maybe it's because I'm bored and tired of putting together 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzles of lighthouses, but I want to ask you guys some questions. This post is mainly directed toward the other bloggers out there.  My questions might be for research purposes (still waiting for …

I Need to Have a Word With You, Friend

At first, I usually try to avoid most things popular in this digital social media technological-informational-crappola-highway-to-hell that is Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Mainly so I can smirk when people ask me why I'm not obsessed with the latest app or fad like the rest of them. Then I normally cave and get sucked into it like all …
