:) and mini rant

:)
the all important colon and close parenthesis combination.
With the increase in electronic relationships and communications the "smiley" has become the crucial key to decoding how serious Or Mad someone Is. Things that Are said abruptly Or straightforward Or in such a way where the words can be taken the wrong way can be softened by just the little smiley. But ! Be aware ! Some ppl abuse the Smile. Put It where It doesn't belong. Say mean things and Smile Hoping to make It better. Well No . I'm Sorry. You can't just Smile and make It better. When you screw up a non face to face conversation. Then you need to resolve It face to face. Period end of story. Too many young ppl of today's generation Are missing out on the real socialness of childhood because of the lack of real face to face conversations and relations.

Anyways. A bad event didn't inspire this. A good event did Actually. I thought something was taken the wrong way with an abrupt multi meaning reply. But then Came " :)"
