Eish, this is tough... I want to say Fish and Chips take-away, but I don't want to get fat... but then again I don't want to say just veggies because I sure do love my red meat... but if I were have to pick one food, my one favourite food... I would have to say the gloriously fantastic popcorn. The best food in the biz.

To tell the honest truth, when I was a kid, I wished that I could have a vault full of popcorn (similar to Scrooge McDuck's vault of gold coins) where I could dive and swim and be forever merry. Sigh... a guy can dream can't he?

I was talking to my mother the other night while she was lying in bed. We were talking about random things from family friends to scholarships. At some point in the conversation I began telling her a story about my friend's high school experiences when all of a sudden she picks up her blackberry and starts using it. I continue with my story, watching my mom, making sure that she was listening.

Half way through my story I stop talking and ask her whether she's been listening.
"Yes, you were saying that you were introduced to so-and-so by so-and-so" [Note: 'so-and-so' is NOT the real names of these people, I am merely protecting their identities].

"No mom, I said that 5 minutes ago"

"Yes, I was, I was just checking my e-mails at the same time"

This argument goes on for some time, but you can see the point that I'm trying to make: it is ironic that the communication breaks down in a family when technology is introduced.

Yet on the other hand, if it weren't for technology I would have no way of contacting my family while I'm away at university... this does seem to present a sort-of paradox. Maybe we should adapt the way were interact with our families through technology instead of complaining about it.... what do you think?
