Status Means Nothing Anymore

It’s so true. Young people don’t respect people that are older then them anymore, everyone is just as good as everybody else in today’s world. However perhaps on of the most blatant disregards for status can be found in our everyday lives, many of you whom are culprits of this diabolical and undermining scheme…the instant messenger status.

Now don’t get me wrong I love IM and how it can be used to talk to people far away and send files and all that jazz but here’s the problem. When you go on MSN now-a-days everybody is away, or so they set their status as that. Rarely is someone busy when their status says so, and how often do people put up the “Out to Lunch” status when they actually are out? I propose that we all start putting our status as dictated by what we are actually doing. If you’re at your computer and don’t want to talk because you’re busy, then put you’re busy. In fact if you don’t want to talk at all do us all a favor and appear offline, which will save all of us time and energy.

For today’s summer story I’ll take you to a magical place called Mount Saint Helens, which is if I am correct the only active volcano on the continent of North America…there might be one or two others but I’ll have to do my homework later. Anyway we drove up into Washington State during our week off in Oregon; the west coast has everything, and saw some pretty cool stuff. It was a cloudy day so we could only see the mountain partially but it was still pretty cool, plus we met some super cool & friendly chipmunks!
