Blocked...

I know it has been a bit since I last posted....

I went home for a 4-day weekend in NC, for my mom's Master's Graduation and to see some friends and family whom I haven't seen in months! It was a busy and packed weekend, but it was still enjoyable - minus the drive of course. Usually I have never minded the drive between Clarksville and Winston Salem, but this go-round I really had my butt kicked!

I don't have much to say in this particular post, but I have had lots of thoughts, brainstorms, and soapboxes since my last entry and I'm sure I'll get to those here in a couple days or so, but I have had one instances or thing on my mind that just has been bugging a tiny-weenie but more than others and that's, "blocked" phone calls.

SERIOUSLY? I mean the only reason people ever block calls anymore is in the hope that someone will pick up. Well here's a clue to some of ya'll special people:

a)most of the time, people will still know who it is trying to call so why block your number?
      **I mean do you really think you can be successful calling to harass someone but then don't have the balls to leave your number on caller id!!? Your lucky if they will even pick up to see what you have to say, let alone like they would ever call you back. Your chances of your phone call going unanswered are even greater if it come's up as "blocked" on caller ID rather than just let your number through.

b)do you really have nothing better to do, or so much extra time that you need to send blocked calls out to someone multiple times a week in the hopes that they will eventually answer.
     **Heck, if you really want to talk to someone and they aren't answering you might as well leave a VM from your "blocked" number so at least you can get what you need to say off your chest!


I just don't understand the need for all this hiding people do today behind phones, and faux emails or behind their computer screens. If you have something to say, come out and say it, or if you're going to say/threaten it via a computer or something else at least have  the guts to follow through in the real world!! Stop wasting your time on petty little things like wasting time trying to get someone to answer their phone with a blocked number. ESPECIALLY when you are someone they want nothing to do with ever again..I guess some people just can't get the message through they think mush in their head they actually believe is a brain they know how to utilize!

Just because you are unhappy, or wish you could have things differently, or change the past or whatever doesn't mean everyone else has the same regrets in their life. You made your bed now grow up, suck it up, and sleep on it! Leave other people alone, and just get over yourself!!
