A RANT - RETURNING EMAILS

Here’s a favourite pet peeve: People who don’t respond to emails !!! I’ve noticed that this particular disease seems to be most dominant in the 20-somethings, the very people who grew up using it as their primary communication tool. COMMUNICATION! Theoretically it’s supposed to be a two-way thing, no? And I REALLY love to hear, “Oh, I’ve been so busy” as an excuse. Busy !!?? It takes you 30 seconds to reply to and send an email. You had enough time to read the fucker, didn’t you? If your life is so busy that you can’t organize your tiny brain to respond to an email, you’ve got big problems. Busy! You’ve been busy playing video games and watching the latest parade of beautiful/stupid people on television and surfing porn on the internet.

Feel free to post your thoughts on the issue.

On a calmer note, isn’t there something wonderful about getting a hair cut? There is a belief in Native cultures that hair is where you hold your power and that only a man’s wife should touch his hair. Some spiritualists believe that hair is a repository for unwanted, used up emotional residue like fear, sadness. Perhaps that’s why you tend to feel lighter after a hair cut? It could all seem awfully trivial to even talk about hair until you consider the billions and billions of dollars we spend on shampoo, conditioner, spray, paste, wax, mud, moulding putty, fixer, clarifier, colour, shimmer, highlighter, detoxifier, pomade,…..and the list goes on. Scary huh? Ever tried to read ALL the product labels in the hair care aisle at the drugstore?
