Eh, i kinda know what you mean, but i'm a phone whore and i usually don't mind. heh.
:-\

What's uppppp!!

Point of fact: Al Gore invented the Internet. Okay so he only shepharded the legislation that took it from ARPANet to 'The Internet'. Sorry, I just got done reading Franken's book.

Yeah… If you believe that Al Bore invented the internet you should get your head out of your ass.

Wow, someone got up on the antisocial side of the bed this morning…

You need to get some buddy.

Does he have any Peets? He must be drinking Starbucks

Chris, I sort of agree with you but at the same time I think you are a bit harsh. For me it really depends on who is calling. But if it's family or close friends I will always try and make the time, or if I am really busy I will just tell them I am busy, and they will understand. Maybe Chris you being a semi-celebrity now has gone to your head? Keep your ego under control Bro, you should always make time for your friends and family!

you can pretty much kiss your future gig with AT&T over huh?
I'm just saying :P
brrriiiing brrrriiinggg
*mwah*
see you sat!!

Or do like me– see whose name pops up on the caller ID or answering machine. If they got a rep. for nonsensical talk, I just ignore'm.

Dude, you're harshin' my buzz.
Somebody piss in yer Meuslix this morrning or what?

I was there. He's justified. At least he didn't pass me the phone so lighten the fuck up already…

I feel you chris…but man did someone piss you off because this blog is kinda….mean ;) Later man

Okay…I'm forwarding this post to my girlfriend. This is so so so so so true.

My question for today is why the “speak” feature on todays blog is speaking Spanish..lol
Am I just hearing things?

some people just aint got no one to talk to. yeah.

Ummm, if it is such an inconvienience – don't answer the damn thing. God invented Voice Mail BEFORE he invented the Internet.

I'm glad I refrained from calling you today. :)
Hey, is there a reason I can't see comments on your Moblog anymore?

It's all about getting an answering machine. It's low tech but it works. I hate people who talk on their phones and drive at the same time. I'm going to die this way, I just know it. Some horny bastard is going to hit me head on while he's chatting with “STAR” at 1-900-hot-legs.

This is Chris's personal blog. I figure if something bothers him, this is the place to express it. We also need to remember that Chris is a very, very busy person. There is a LOT going on right now and the last thing he is needing is someone to call to “see what is happening”. Speaking for myself as someone that is so busy that “sleep” is considered recreational, I understand what he is saying completely. When time is a luxury, casual phone calls are a huge pain in the azz. As far as just “letting voicemail get the callsÂâ€?…Chris needs to be available to answer the phone in case it is important. I fall into the same trap as well. Remember, he is expressing himself. Just keep that in mind. ;-)

Personal blog? It is a public blog, with a comment system. He hangs out his opinions, and expects people to comment on them. We are all busy people, and this has nothing to do with being busy. It has to do with cutting off your support system because they would like to find out how a friend or associate is doing. Chris is using technology as a wall to protect himself from people, and he has to realize that not everyone wants to wall themselves off as much as he does. Work yourself into the gound all you want, Matt (and Chris), but don't expect people to answer your calls when you need help or want a friend. Matt, you can detatch your lips from Chris's “azz” now.

I will keep this in mind the next time I have the urge to call and sing you the ABCs.

Robb, some of the points you brought up are something that I will give some thought to. I will say that when I said “personal blog”, I mean that he posts his feelings, etc. Yes, there is going to be comments. I realize this. Also Robb, I never said that I would have the same reaction to phone calls as Chris does. I do tolerate receiving calls durring my “busy times”. Do I like it? No, it bugs me. I do make it point in returning calls so that I can go play pool, or catch a movie with my friends. Most of my friends know that I prefered to be reached via email though. I am sorry Robb if I came off like a hard ass or a kiss up. I was simply “interjecting” my opinion. I was also pointing out the obvious flaw with using voicemail. As someone else pointed out earlier, an answering machine is a good idea. I do use one, it helps some. Anyway, hope this clears things up. :-)

One other thing…I still do agree with Chris's overall point. Last time I checked, agreeing with someone did not make me a butt kisser. That comment was really uncalled for. Anyway, water under the bridge. ;-)

ok.. you made your point.. I will not call you anymore ;-) I will fax my social questions for the time being..

Dang, I just want someone to call me so I *can* tell them I'm busy.. :)

Same rules go for Instant Messaging. Don't send me something just because I'm online and then if I don't reply, please don't keep sending me “are you there”

“Get to the point – if you have one. ” … YOU are SO Benny! AND … i'm w/ya ALL the way on the rest of this stuff too … DONT call ME to ask ME what's going on … if yer callin me, call me cause YOU have something to say! Yer on FUEGO and THATS good!

New here to comment :)
I want to be left alone sometimes, even if I'm not busy, I just need my time.
I don't now, and never will have another answering machine, I do have caller ID….and if I want to talk to you, I'll answer the phone, or call you back..maybe. Pitty the unavailable callers ;)
I use to be that person, Chris is talking about….I, however, have reformed myself in the last few years….. Hardly ever touch the phone now.
Friends understand, they know, and if they are your true friends, you can go months without staying in touch, then out of the blue you chat, and it seems like it's been just a few days.
anyway, I see your point and raise my dt. dr pepper.

Yes, I would have to agree with you. Why is because i get people calling me to just ramble and talk about nothing at all. If you want to do that im me, e-mail your ramblings. If it is urgent or business then call me. That is one of my pet peeves.

Someone is becoming anti social. An answering machine is good…you screen your calls. You hear who is calling…you hear what they are calling about…and then you decide whether to pick up or not. Nowadays it seems that everyone does not want to be bothered by anyone. So we can all be by ourselves…alone in our apartments or houses…and if we get sick and can't take care of ourselves, then all of a sudden we want peoples help but realize we are all alone and will end up in a nursing home and die. Isn't life wonderful?…lol…Believe me when I say this…if anyone of us was to right now fall over and drop dead…the world would continue on without skipping a beat…so what is the point???…we are here for an average of 70 to 80 years and then we are gone forever…and memories of you fade away as if you were never here. So stay by yourself everyone…it doesn't really matter.

Meanie!

I love how all the little Lockergnome zealots come out in defense of po wittle cwis everytime he gets busted on by the masses. Maybe if he was such an immature twit, it wouldn't draw the wolves.

That's life.
The blessing of technology is that you can reach almost anybody.
The curse is that almost anybody can reach you.

GOOD GOD I SO AGREE!!!!!!
Man, I have a few friends who think they should call like 10 times a day to ask what I am doing.
If I tell you I am busy and will call you back when I an not busy, don't call me back and ask if I am still busy just so you can then ask what I am doing!!!
Doh!! So glad I am not the only one who feels like this.

Dude, you are such a little dweeb. Part of the problem today is that there is not enough human interaction, and you complain about a phone call. Grow up!

Dude! I wish my phone would ring. No one ever calls me! Geez! Don't complain to someone who is dying of thirst that you have too much water! :^P

Bad hair day for ya? huh!

Sounds like a certain commentator, a few comments up, need some Prozac. Chris, if you read these comments, just do your thing, and to heck with what others want.

If you are referring to me, I am on Lexapro, thank you very much! It is the s-isomer of Celexa, which is in the same class as Prozac. Fewer side effects…but therapy helps too! :^)
If you're not talking about me, then…um, er…later!

For my part, I hope if the day ever comes that I'm too busy to answer a quick phone call from a friend wanting to check in and catch up.. and I piss all over them for disturbing me.. somebody puts me in my place and stuffs my ego with a priority readjustment.
Busy is one thing. This didn't read like it was about busy.

Chris, you must be doing something right if you are getting flamed on your own Blog! Rock on, brother!!

Chris can be such a little bitch.

It's no wonder TechTV fired him.

Looks like Chris is the new Wesley Crusher !

Don't make retarded little comments on things you know nothing about. This is Chris's blog, if you have such a problem with what he wants to comment on…don't come here….

Simple. It's a social thing to do. People like to talk to other people, you don't necessarily need a reason to do so. Do you use IM clients? I can't imagine that you don't, but if you do, I fail to see how you don't understand this – unless you can honestly say that you never IM anyone just to catch up on things. Heh, you run a blog for God's sake!
Of course, random talking on the phone also seems to be a feminine thing to do, but hey – I'm a guy (last I checked, anyway) and I love to do it. Then again, I'm also a shopaholic and I obsess over my hair and clothes for at least half an hour every morning. You don't suppose this means something, do you? o_O

If Chris WAS so busy, and so important why is he able to spend so much time living his life here in his public personal blog. Chris suffers from what is now a common medical term, Internet Addiction, and is unable to crawwwwl back into REALITY. It's been proven people with a “short complex” to begin with are more likely to grasp at anything to make them feel important. He has a false ego as it is still in the internet world. and I would say because of his “short complex” he is unable to tell the people who are calling to gab straight up to stop, as he can only voice his true thoughts on the internet. Get some therapy dude. Get over it. You've spent so much tim e wanting what you can't have you have forgotten that happiness comes from Wanting want you HAVE.

Gee, maybe they like you, and maybe they made a mistake in doing so. Looks like 20-something “think I have it all figured out, I'm so hip, look at me rant” syndrome. Inevitably, a life lesson will come along and show you otherwise.
