sign-o-the-times

So I love conversation hearts. They are, to me, Valentine's answer to Candy Corn. YUM.

Our goofy department at work bought individual boxes of Necco brand "Sweethearts" and gave them to everyone. I was a bit taken aback at the discovery of one of the messages on the hearts:
I feel like this is a commentary on our current social situation. Don't "Call Me", don't "Kiss Me", just "Email". It's quick, it's easy, it's surfacey. Sure, if you live cross-country, fine. But I am beginning to feel like everyone (ME INCLUDED) is a bit too off-line phobic. Meaning, so many people appear to prefer the impersonality of hiding behind a computer screen over in-person interaction.

Get to know me across the interweb? SURE.

Have coffee with me? NO WAY.... Too personal!

WTF?

So instead, get out there in person, people. Shove your tongue down someone's throat. Grab a crotch.

BE ALIVE

KISS ME
