Must Watch: It Can Wait - It's Up to You to Make That Choice

I haven't posted a blog since December of last year, but when it comes to something as important as texting and driving I have a need to say something.

I've mentioned it in the past and I'll mention it again; I was a serial text driver.  And not only texting - this included reading email, checking online posts, etc. etc.

Why do it?  What's so important that it can't wait?  Perhaps your dog is at the vet and you're waiting for that very important call that he's made out of surgery okay.  Perhaps your employer is calling or texting you with a very important errand to run.  Or perhaps you didn't have a phone to begin with?

It can wait.. No matter how serious the information is on the other end of that message.

I've had Facebook friends that have passed on, and while they're not people I would consider "personal" friends, they were friends in my Facebook world. We're human - so when I read about someone on Facebook who has died because they were texting and driving - it kicks me in the gut.

AT&T has released a video I encourage everyone to watch.   They have released this in conjunction with their 5th Anniversary of the "it can wait" campaign.

No Post Is Worth A Life!

At 6:30 PM on June 2, 2011 I made a promise to never text and drive ever again. Do the same - save a life. If not your own, do it for those you can seriously hurt.

I Haven't Been Fully Honest With You... (NSFW due to some upset texters)

Last month, comedian Nathan Fielder from Comedy Central asked his twitter followers to text their parents about a fake drug deal, and the outcome was absolutely hilarious!

This time, he asked his followers to text their loved ones, "I haven't been fully honest with you," and not reply for at least an hour.  I'm pretty sure some of them wished they hadn't done it. LOL.

The hilarity continues after the jump...

Texting Your Ex: Expectations vs. Reality.

It's time for another post of Expectations vs. Reality.  This time it involves texting your ex; Which I'm sure all of you have done. LOL.

The Human Test - Volumes 2 & 3

Ever since I posted the first volume to The Human Test, two more have been released.  The first two videos, produced by vlogger, ZeFrank, are quite hilarious and true, but the third is a little somber.

The second volume is titled "Volume 2,  Difficulty: Easy", while the third is titled, "Volume 3: Love & Loss, Difficulty: Medium".

I answered yes to most questions so I suppose this makes me human... Check them out, they're pretty cool.  Are you human?

The Hard Task of Being a Loving Parent: Drug Dealing Kids Prank Their Parents

So what would your parents say if you text them, "got 2 grams for $40" and then sent another text saying, "Sorry ignore that txt. Not for you"?

Comedian Nathan Fielder from Comedy Central asked his twitter followers to text their parents about a fake drug deal.  The outcome is unbelievably hilarious!  If this doesn't make your day something's wrong with you.

I promise you will laugh your ass off.  Especially when mom replies, "So help me god if you are referring to drugs I will disown you"  or "Austin robert schweitzer there goes your driving test...and any hope of a car! - Going to cvs so get ready to pee in a cup!"

 

The hilarity continues after the jump...

I Told You To Stop Texting While Walking

OMG, I'm lmao over here.  Remember that funny PSA blog I posted last month about the dangers of texting while walking?  Well if you don't remember, you can watch it here, but it's the news broadcast below that has me laughing right now.  I think the woman in the background should have read my blog, because she trips and falls during the taping of a live news broadcast.

OMG Hilarious! - ROFL Smartphone Texts

There's 6 more after the jump...

Text Me Your Naked Pic

LMAO!  Who hasn't come across someone who has asked them for a pic?  Not just any pic, but a naked pic?  Yeah, you see it on Grndr, instant messaging, Skype, from the person you met at a bar, or chat rooms (wait, do those still exist?).  But how many of you have actually sent it?  Maybe you should have taken it in this direction... LOL.

Do You Take This Text To Be Your Lawfully Wedded Text?

LOL, I bet the groom was telling himself, "WTF! What the hell did I get myself into?"  During the wedding ceremony, the bride receives a text and pulls it out of her bra as she is standing by her soon to be husband.  What makes it hilarious is the groom's reaction to the whole thing.

 

From the YouTube description:

This is part of a wedding video I shot in August 2008 at the Mission Beach Women's Club in San Diego, CA. It was otherwise perfectly normal except for this one funny clip of the bride TEXTING just after her dad walked her down the isle! At one point, I noticed her doing it through my lens and I had to pull away form the camera to make certain I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. The minister was busy reading his opening comments and her back was to everyone in attendance. I was the only one to see her. Her dad glanced over at her and then saw me doing a double take and began to laugh out loud! You can see him doing it in the clip. Totally funny!
