Back to The Dark Ages…

Written by UrbanVox 0 Comments

I know you will say that I am exaggerating on that one, but this is exactly how I feel right now… In the Dark Ages…

Over the past few days we’ve been experiencing quite a few issues with our electrical supply. Power Cuts, Surges, lighs blinking a lot and as of today more time without electricity than with any at all…

No TV, no computers (how am I supposed to work without my computers on?!?! can you tell me that? Well… there is the MACBook, but then what do I do when the battery is over… and even then… what’s the point of having the laptop when there is no internet because there is no electricity?

Which then brings me to more serious issues… also… no heating!!!!!! No hot water for showers… today I mostly smell like a baby wipes… no… don’t ask… you know the answer anyway…

Power supply spent the whole day teasing me today… it came on for 5 minutes… the 20…. then back to 2 minutes and sometimes just a few seconds… How is one supposed to live like that???

And that is not the worse part!!! MY iPhone IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!! Somehow I’ve managed to short circuit it plugging it to charge after using outside when it was marginally damp….

I feel totally cut off from the world… I know this kinda sounds ridiculous… after all one can always go out and speak to real people instead… right?!?! riiiight????!!!! I mean… people did that for like forever before the invention of social networks and other things… Is not imposible… right?!! right?!?!?!!?

*mentally opens the door and sees the empty street… EMPTY*

HOW ON EARTH DID PEOPLE USE TO LIVE LIKE THIS??????

Staying at home was driving me insane… so I picked up my laptop and made my way to Bluewater and am now sitting here in the middle of a million people and… talking to other people over the internet… hehe… hehe…

I wonder what would happen to all of us constantly plugged into this or that social networks, yes… plural… most people I know is in more than one… twitter, facebook, orkut, myspace, path, instagram… what would they do if they sudenly couldn’t share thoughts, news, photos, videos etc almost instantly…. what would it happen if you had to go back to waiting days… maybe months to receive news? What would happen to the world if we were to truly go back to the dark ages in the blink of an eye?

Wow… all of a sudden this post has totally been blown out of proportion now… lol… but it raises a valid point… One that I’d love to hear your point on… what would you do today if in a blink of an eye the lights came off and never came back on????

How dependent on technology are you???

Dear So and So: Road Rage Edition

Written by UrbanVox 2 Comments

It’s not the best of ideas to cross me in the morning before I have my 1st coffee o the day when I am in my best morning mood… When I am late for my son’s 1st Ukulele concert 72 miles away is DEFINITELLY NOT the best time to crosse me (or stay on my way for all that Matters).

Road Rage was unavoidable!!!

So… Here we go!

Dear Alarm clock,

You are fired!!!!

Yours
Daddy late for Ukelele concert
———————————–
Dear young lady that was driving a silver Micra at 20mph in a 50mph limit zone just because you HAD to gossip o. The mobile,

Feck off!!!!! Hung up!!! Drive!!! Nuff said!!!

Yours,

The guy that honked at you after 10 minutes stuck behind you.
———————
Dear old lady holding the traffic in Bean at 10mph,

Get off the fracking road!!! 8am is NOT the best time for you to be driving at those insane speeds… People have to get to places (I.e. work or Ukelele concerts far far away)… If you are not in a hurry to get anywhere PLEASE wait until AFTER rush hour to go out,

Yours,
Annoyed guy 2 cars behind you
——————–
Dear stupid biker at the M25,

If you see a car coming on the fast lane at 80mph (okay… Maybe a little more… But I was late and my kids are my world… That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!!!) where did I stop? Ah yeah… If you see a car coming fast on The fast lane you don’t slowly pull over in front of lt… The next guys brake might not be working as well as mine… Btw… Thank you very much for making me slam the foot on the brakes and always get hit by the BMW that was coming hot behind me… You twat!!!!

By they should invest the money spent in the “think biker” campaign into one that teaches bikers to stop being idiots!

And yes… I will honk at you AGAIN if you do it again!!!

Yours,
Road rage fuelled driver you flopped the finger at
———————
Dear fast lane hogger,

While I’m at it… There is a reason why the fast lane is called fast lane… Go be a slow coach in one of the other 3 lanes available to you!!!

Yours,
The guy flashing lights at you on the M25… Or one of them really….
——————————
Dear Porsche driver on the A3,

What’s the poi t on having a roadster if you are not going to drive it like one??? I reeeeeeeeally don’t see the point….

Yours
Amused little me
—————————-
Dear yummy mummies,

When are you going to learn how to park your huge landrovers an BMW, and Audi 4×4 monsters???
Seriously….

Yours truly… And still a little scared of you…
Tommy’s Dad (that’s actually my cool daddy nickname with Big Monkey’s school friends)
————————————-
Dear Vic,

Yeah… I did drive 72miles in just over 45min… Why so surprised?!?!?

I did tell you I’ll always be there.

Giggly,
Your ex husband
—————————–
Dear Big Monkey,

I am so very incredibly proud of you!!!
Not bad at all, specially as you only practiced 1 hour/week for 7 weeks… Your concert was awesome!!!!
Just try not to yawn in the middle of it next time!

Love you more than the distance to infinite +1 and back,

Daddy
