where has the art of conversation gone?
last night i was on the phone for three hours and it was basically
"uh what do you want to talk about?"
"what do you want to talk about?"
this is after i already had a nice discussion about what i had called that person to talk about.
what the hell people why can't we carry a conversation anymore?
i blame message boards and instant messaging.
by the way, I understand the irony of simultaneously decrying and using message boards, so don't bother pointing that out.
well it seems like the people i talk to suck at conversation
If your response to "uh what do you want to talk about?" is "what do you want to talk about?", then you're probably not to great at conversation either.

well it was more ike
"okay thats basically why i called, i guess i'm going to go."
"no! talk to me some more."
"okay what do you want to talk about"
"I don't know what do you want to talk about"
followed by me banging my head into a wall

Maybe the conversation went dead because they'd rather take an order from Bill Clinton than hear your snooty, high-pitched voice.

Air show? Buzz cut Alabamians spewing colored smoke from their whiz-jets to the strains of "Rock You Like a Hurricane"? What kind of country-fried rube is still impressed by that?

There were plenty of new warheads but no, you just had to go for that retro 50s charm.

no, as i just posted, it happens with all my friends
maybe i should just start getting up and leaving when the conversation lulls.
that's when you know you've found somebody special. when you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
that's all i ever wanted.
all i ever needed.

but on the phone I'm like
just the facts, ma'am
