On the phone? Are you joking?

It is absolutely amazing. That is the word. No two ways about it. I am actually sitting infront of the laptop and for the third time this month am actually writing my third piece for this month. What the hell is wrong with me? Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed or anything, it's just that I never show this much consistency. I amaze myself sometimes.

But in essence, I reason that it is a progress made in my part. For writing is not detrimental to the person, unlike smoking weed. Let me be the first to assure you that I don't. Smoke weed. Or smoke. Anything. I don't personally object to the habit. You smoke, you kill yourself faster and that is no concern of mine. But I personally don't like it. So to my mate's who do smoke, puff away. Anyway, back to the writing. Or shall we classify this as typing? Since that is what I am doing.

So what do we call typing on a smart phone. I recently (somewhere about 3 months ago?) bought that fancy new gadget the iPhone 4S. Let me start by saying what an amazing thing it is. All the apps are helpful and I am always connected with everyone through the social media. I can gather information like a straw house would catch fire. Very fast in case you're wondering. But one thing that I am sure is on the lips of the nation. Is what I am doing, when I send messages on an iPhone, which has no keypad, called typing, or is it tapping?

And that bring's me neatly-ish to the topic that is my latest grouch. The Blogger app for android and ios or IOs, or whatever. Here is the thing. I don't have tiny, dainty fingers like females or some rather awkwardly genetic males in this world. I have big one's. They are the size of bananas for God sake. How do you expect me to write a message to a person with these fingers? Let alone compose a blog?

For the next idiot who is going to say that I should get a phone which has a keypad then, if it's so difficult for you to do, I shall kick you hard in the rear end and tell you to sodd off. I like my phone as much as I like being in the stream of technology, moving forwards. So I won't change my phone, you should change, direction.

Actually, I haven't got to the real part of the problem I seem to see. The app as I mentioned is available for the smartphone right? So let me get this straight? You actually have an app for people to post blogs, something that is a piece of work that requires concentration and forethought into a device that was invented to make and receive calls while a person is on the go? I mean, come on, who the hell will be able to find the time to update a blog while on the way to work. Short post's like what you get on Facebook and Twitter seem to be acceptable as they are all small phrases that you use to sum up your situation. But a Blog.

That being said, I must admit that I have actually downloaded it on my phone and also am intending to get rid of it as soon as possible. Its just a waste of space. If you have an idea for a blog, write it down or put it as a reminder on that SMARTphone of yours and compose the piece when you get home. You will have better peace of mind and more thankful fingers, let me tell you.
