Over at the site A Pointless Waste of Time, there's a great essay by David Wong titled 7 Reasons Why the 21st Century is Making Us Miserable. Go read it, because I'll talk about it later.

For those of you who want a quick roundup of those seven reasons, here they are:
- Not enough annoying strangers in our lives.
- Not enough annoying friends, either.
- Text = Bad communication.

- We're not criticized enough.
- The outrage machine.
- We feel worthless because we're actually worth less.

What was more fun about the movie was the enthusiasm of the audience. Those who did show up (mostly young office-class men) knew they had a role in its creation, and the hooped and hollered and cheered throughout. The rest of the world simply stayed away.
Didn't you have your own comments about this Joey?
We are moving toward this scenario.
But I live in a “Happy Internet Place”, and I use my blog to keep up my friends with my house renewing, (friends that I made on the traditional way), my e-mail to set them up to go to the swimming pool tomorrow, and the messenger to hear and see drooling my soon-to-be-2 years old nephew who lives in France.
No big deal, we will get over.
