Take a look Up at the Real World

A professor once said in a class of mine “It should be law to clothes line anyone that walks and texts in public!” I wonder how this law could have been implemented this evening while I was driving my car down Mumford Rd. and the young man who clearly read the cross walk light sign wrong was proceeding to enter into the road where traffic was trying to drive through. Now, I understand that it was probably beyond important to be listening to Bieber on your Beats, all while texting people you probably dont even know since your apart of a generation that doesnt understand the concept of face-to-face conversation (and NO thats not facetime..). Pick your head up young buck or you might not see tomorrow, somethings are not that important, so take a second and check to make sure that sign says walk. Now Im only 23 myself & not claiming to be better but seriously to those who walk and text the law will one day be real, so watch out or you might get clothes lined while your retweeting a Kardashian.—SoonToBeProfessionalClothesLiner
