Fuck your text based communications

Now I’ll confess, I text and IM all the time. It’s pretty much the primary way my wife and I communicate when I’m away for work (like this current three month stretch) but I 100% with out a doubt, with out failure hate those two forms of communication like nothing else.

Don’t get me wrong, I like letters, after some of the stuff I’ve been through, getting a letter is the most beautiful thing in the world, except when it’s bills to pay I can’t get enough letters.

I’m similer for email, though given how much of my email is spawn and how much of the rest is random forwards that threaten to kill me if I don’t pass it on myself perhaps I could do with a bit less of that…

But I still fucking hate, hate with a burning firey rage exceeded only by my hatred for rap music and socalists. I absolutely hate the constrictions imposed on communications by texts and motherfucking IM, there’s no tone, no emotion that can honestly be communicated except by freakin emotes… I mean fuckin A it drives me literally up the bloody wall.

It really, really starts to piss me off when Nalora and I start to get aggravated or even worse have an all out fight over words that would have had a completely different meaning if you could actually understand the tone with which it was said. Nalora and I are both very literal people so words are taken at face value, however we tend to believe that other people (aka each other) can understand the tone we’re trying to set and thus that we’re joking or whatever the hell.

Sometime it would be alot easier if everyone could just read your mind or your intent with this type of communication, but the pain in the ass part is we can prevent all of that annoyance and agravation simply by dialing instead of typing.
