Monotone Single Nobody

Monotone Single Nobody. Yeah, what does that abbreviate to? It's MSN!

MSN, along with any other online chatting service (yes that's you too Facebook and *God-forbid* Friendster) are convenient tools to catch up with friends and have mass conversations, or conferences...

Imagine your mum telling you to log off MSN and you say, "No, I'm having a conference!" You either get a reply from your mother of curiousity or the "I don't care, you get off now."

Anyways, for those people who purely use these online services, I always get the feeling the conversations are always monotonious. Its void of all emotion. You don't get to hear a voice, your eyes are the only senses you are making use of. God gave us all five senses (who here has the sixth one?), and thus we should use them all, don't you think, or rather, it would be more meaningful using all your senses rather than just your vision.

It's beautiful when you use your senses. Like listening to the sound of a human voice, feeling the touch of a human hand, smelling a human (okay...), tasting.... Uh, I'm not going to go there.

Next, single. No one is going to get a spouse simply by using these online messaging services per se, or a girlfriend/boyfriend for that matter. Even if you do, it's probably another one of those empty relationships you see so commonly nowadays.

Thirdly, nobody. I doubt anyone who spends his time online will ever be popular. It's like you're hiding yourself behind that 20-inch screen. Nobody is ever going to know who you truly are. It's like you can tell me everything about you; your address, your family members, the number of hairs on your head, your bank account number (I wouldn't mind knowing that one!), but ultimately, if I've never met you or talked to you in real life, how can you be real to me?

Personally, given the chance, I'd rather chat with someone over a drink or over the phone (that means calling! Messaging is just as monotonious, singlious and nobodyious as online messaging!). At least my senses are being engaged. As for calling, all you online campers may be arguing that the only sense I'm using is hearing, but it's always nice to hear a voice isn't it?

Wait, hold on... I feel so weird, like I'm contradicting myself. Sh*t! No wonder! I'm stating the negatives of online messaging services while I'm using one... Damn you blogger... (crap, I think my blog is going to be removed thanks to that latest statement!)

Advice of the day: Call me ;)
