WE NEED TO DELETE THE DELETE BUTTON FOREVER!... THE DELETE BUTTON WAS NOT DESIGNED TO DELETE PEOPLE, IT WAS MEANT TO DELETE WORDS. SO, PLEASE PUT THE PHONES DOWN PEOPLE, TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE COMPUTER ONCE IN AWHILE ( HAHA EXCEPT IF YOUR READING MY BLOG. LOL) ,AND JUST TALK TO ONE ANOTHER. LETS GET BACK TO THE BASICS OF LIFE, THE REALNESS OF LIFE AND THE OLD SCHOOL WAY OF DOING THINGS...

I'll admit it, I deleted 2 people since this whole computer, cellphone and internet age.  Yes it was warranted, but I felt so bad doing it. Eventually, I ended up undeleting them. It just didnt feel right or normal to me to just delete someone like that without even speaking to them first. I guess you can say I had a few moments of a very non Old School way of doing something. I surrendered to the easy and abrupt way of not wanting to talk to someone anymore. Deleting, blocking and all that nonsense is not the way I grew up or was raised. We didn't delete people back then. We actually had to TALK to people whether we wanted to or not - We had no choice or options. Today, there is a hodgepodge of options, and people are using them in the wrong manner and abusing them. Back then, the bottom line was: We still had to talk to the person. Even if it meant confronting the person, being honest with the person, fighting with the person, or telling the person you did not want to talk to them. So when did people become so disposable to a press of a button? Its actually kind of a brutal and callous way of treating people today. I constantly hear people saying that they deleted someone, as if its nothing. I just listen and look at them and shake my head.  If your not a child, teenager or in your 20' s then you shouldn' t be deleting anyone. The younger generation has an excuse, they grew up in all this technolgy madness. It's their way of communicating. Its all they know, they do not know any better. What kind of example are we showing our children, nieces, and nephews if we are doing it ourselves? Are we indirectly telling them its ok to delete someone as opposed to communicating, talking and being honest with a person? As grown adults that did not grow up in this day and age, we should know better. If you are 40 yrs old and didn't delete someone 20 yrs ago, why would you do it now?  Is it because its an easier way to simply choose not to talk to someone? Old school means talking to people, communicating properly with one another, treating people with respect and like human beings. We seem too forget through all this technologly that we are all human beings behind the mask of technology. People that are truly Old School do not go around deleting people., they talk to people. No matter what the situation may be, no matter what someone does to you, no matter how angry, hurt or mad you are, just talk to the person, tell the person... Its very simple, its very honest and its very Old School. Remember, Old School id the best school!
