Now days, it seems as if we are in the age of Battle star Galactica for real and that the Cyborgs incessantly walk and run around us. Every where I look I see folks with these hideous space age devices attached to their ear. I know it is based on Blue tooth technology and enables wireless headset to cell phone communication, but it seem eerie. Sometimes I even wonder if these devices, when not in use, are transmitting subliminal electroencelplagraphic messages that program these individuals continuously. Sometimes I wonder if the folks think that by wearing one makes them cool, when in some eyes they actually look kind of funny.
I don’t own a blue tooth device; my lame ass still put the phone up to my ear in remembrance of actually using a rotating dial t o dial a phone number. And the conversations, seems as if the device makes folks want to talk to show others "look ma, no hands". The one I heard this morning when I was getting a pack of swisher sweets went something like this:
"George, Its Curtis, I'm getting some coffee, wanted to know if you were by to stop by my office, I’m running twenty-five minutes late. So if you want some coffee, call me back."
What that Sam Dickens, A grown man leaving a message for another grown man to get his coffee. Rule number one, never work in an office without a coffee machine.
Unlike the Cyborgs however, these devices are not weaponized. Makes me wonder what would have happened if I had decided to pursue my PHD in one of my first loves, solid state and/or particle physics, what kind of weapon enablization could I have developed. For certain, I would have one back in the lab to experiment with. Now that would have been cool, a device that you can control with your brain to direct lasar beams at others - i can't wait.

and my old high schol team Memphis Hamilton finished 39-0 (Tenn state AAA chanps)
