The internet is officially the worst possible place to try and communicate anything. It will always be taken the wrong way in this over-saturated, cesspool of communication. There is no body language, no vocal tones communicating any kind of emotion, and certainly no immediate response. Black and white text lacks all of that. It’s cold and fails in so many ways. For example what was meant as a sincere apology comes across as a passive aggressive stab at someone. You try to explain that and somehow you only make it sound worse. If you were to have given that apology in person, all of that would have been avoided. Even the simplest of stories can be misconstrued. Suddenly you’re blaming them when really you were simply explaining your point of view.
You won’t see this but in the off chance you do: I’m sorry. That’s all I was trying to say. The stories and whatever else you misconstrued were just my way of explaining. Neither of us know the other and neither of us know how the other communicates which, obviously, leads to problems.

It seems that all of our communication has gone to technology. Computers, e-mail, cell phones and text messages. What happened to the good ol' face-to-face conversation? I debated on getting a Nook (electronic book), but then I realized I would miss the actual fell of a book. Electronics are taking over!
