Mores for Gays video blog (Ep. 19): Blueteeth

You see at first I thought that I had gone crazy b/c when I saw your new blog I screamed b/c I realized I missed you SOOOO much. Well, it wasn't just my imagination, it's been 2 weeks!! I can't stand to see you so infrequently, but until a change is made, it was soooo great to see ya!

Also, I completely agree with all points made in the video.

BTW, you are just the most ADORABLE thing today! You smiled and laughed much more often than in your other vids, and for that, CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! I mean, my god, THOSE CHEEKS, THAT SMILLE!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Well, once again another totally awesome, hilarious, gorgeous vblog! Keep em coming, and more frequently please.

Yes, you are cuter than shit!

 

But this is such a good topic - the TMI highway! I know so much more about peoples personal lives than I really want to know! But it appears to be a totally oblivious phenomenon! 

I don't like seeing people wear their earbud bluetooth things when they're not using them. I once sat across from a guy wearing a bluetooth thingy, whilst playing with a PDA, with a laptop on his lap, which had a phone ontop of it. He must have been a very important man indeed! I guess that's what it's all about, looking important. 

 

Also: my mind went to a happy place when you mentioned Battlestar... I thought, hey, imagine Daniel on Battlestar Galactica... then I nearly fell over. 

Daniel your blogs are not only totally accurate and very informative but also HILARIOUS and you are a total cutie. Keep em coming!

I think this also ties in well with the iPod epidemic. Have you ever talked to someone who had earbuds in their ears, listening to music even? It's quite annoying. And with that problem is also the problem of having the music playing too loud. It's quite distracting. I think the common theme is that people are afraid to be unplugged. I mean think of the crisis! No information streaming in one ear and out the other! No barrier between you and the rest of the world, where someone might actually talk to you! Oh, the horridness of it all! Seriously, I like thinking too much to have constant external stimulation, such as music or a phone conversation. You say we're distractable. I can tell you that none of this technology is helping us in that department.

1. Thanks for the tip for face tanning!  Now I can looking sun-kissed all year round!

2. I think the word you were looking for is FLAKY!  Yes, even I will admit that gay men can be such big flakes sometimes.  But hey, it comes with the territory.

3.  How many streets do you know go by an open cliff??  And if that person walking to their death can't remember a cliff is there, then that's their own fault.

4. Love the blog and glad to see you back in action with the dancing catepillars on your forehead. :-P

I work at starbucks and we get people on cell phones all the time and there calls always seem too important that they have to mouth "half-caf triple grande 5 pump vanilla soy no-foam with whip white mocha." and then nod randomly when i repeat it as decaf triple grande vanilla no-foam latte so i can make it wrong and get yelled at after their conversation.

which brings me to bluetooth. I have this one customer who comes in and orders a random latte, but with these people, I can never tell if they are talking to me or not. This one guy came up to the till and says "hi, how are you?" (i am shocked, pleasentry to an SBUX employee?!) So I answer but he shakes his finger and points to his head and mouths "on the phone" and kindly actually tells me his order (the universe rights itself, the guy is still an a__), I repeat it back to him to confirm and he says no. I try to ask what else until i realize i have been dismissed! He is back on his bluetooth again.

Needless to say he got decaf.

 

New mores for everyone: greet your Starbucks barista with a "Hello, how are you?" or "hello, I'm fine thanks and you?" instead of(barista "hi, how are you?") "Grande with room dark and a cranberry muffin" (stuff SBUX card in barista's face). 

i laughed at the irony on the conversation with your friend who was on the bus. there were a bunch of times where i wish i had the guts like the bus driver to tell someone that they're talking too loud on the bus. i wish people would have some common decency to be courteous and consciencious to other public transportation riders when talking on the phone. i don't want to be hearing about your day/date/trick out loud and in public. 'nuf said.

...i seriously zoned out when you mentioned that  gay guys have a reputation to be easily distracted. that was a bit too much spot on for my taste.

like... awkward much?

but i had a totally good excuse: my cookies where almost done and i had the munchies. mmm... snickerdoodles...

 

i never use my bluetooth other than in my car, because of safety. and why use it in public or anywhere else? are you too lazy to hold the phone up against your ear?

and when i'm interacting with other people, i make sure that i'm not on the phone. that's just rude. nobody's that important. and if you (think you) are, you should have the brains to know to wait until your conversation on the phone is done.

that's just common sense.
