"Smarter the phone, dumber the person" That is the statement that a person said when I was boasting about my new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 when I bought it. At that time I did not give that statement much thought, but now I realise that there is some truth to that statement. (I need some cookie points for this :D) I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M GETTING DUMBER because all of you know that I am an awesome individual ;). But I have to agree that, there is some truth in this statement.
Most of the time we use your phones to navigate through social networks. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as examples. It's the case with many Asians. I travel regularly to Malaysia and Thailand and they are social network zombies just like Srilankans. BTW I travel to Thailand as a good boy okkkkkkkk.... (just to keep the record straight) most phones advertise themselves with features such as facebook integration and loads of other social networkings features. Have you ever asked yourselves why we have become such zombies and waste our productive time on social networking. Do not get me wrong, we need social networking to communicate with the outside world but we need to strike a balance. That is my opinion.
The biggest worry for me is how smart phones helps you to screw up your grammar. Trust me on this. Yesterday I sent a text message and when the recipient replied saying "what do you mean?" I checked what I typed. I was like what the "duck" did I type. (I try to be as responsible as possible for my under age readers) Auto correct does not auto correct in my opinion. After yesterday I try my best to type every single sentence and refrain from using auto correct in a desperate attempt to save my writing skills.
If you still think that this post is a utter waste of time (which is not :P)and you think that you could has used the time that took you to read this to play barn buddy on facebook, I want you to do this test. Close your eyes for 2 minutes and try to enjoy all your other senses. It may sound a bit kinky but try out and FEEL the difference. It's the same with your phone. While you are checking out a stupid meme a hot chick with red lipstick might pass you by wearing a bikini. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. Crazier things have happened.
Just find the balance between you smartphone and life. Your greatest experiences happen when you live your life in the real world, not on your smartphone. I'm trying my best to find that balance.

Random thoughts on a sleepless night
It's just one of those days where you can't sleep. Playing stick cricket of your phone hoping and praying that you would feel sleepy at some point. It ain't working people. Never the less, this sleepless night reminded me that I haven't blogged in a while.
If you people have read my previous posts you would know that these sort of sleepless nights are the catalyst for most of my blogs. Now you understand why I write a lot of bullshit. :D
When you can't sleep, random thoughts come into your mind. Following are few of throw thoughts that I would like to share.
1) WHY THE HELL CAN'T I GO TO SLEEP? I tried everything. I changed my sleeping position and I even changed my bloody pillow. Still I can't go to sleep.
2) When am I going to finish my thesis? This has been dragging for ever. I can't make up my mind to sit down and finish it.
3) Who are we going to buy in this transfer window. Arsenal haven't won a trophy for 8 years. It is high time we win something. To win something we need to buy players. Dearest Arsene Wenger, I'm thinking about who can improve our squad at 1.18 in the morning. Please buy a good player and help me sleep.
NOW COMES THE WEIRD SHIT! ;)
4) Do aliens actually exist? I am a firm believer that they do. I don't want them to come and invade us, but they can always drop by and say 'hello machan' and go. I don't mind :D
5) The thing that I Google the most when I can't sleep is about the Loch Ness monster. I wish to believe that this mythical creature exists. I know! Aliens and the Loch Ness monster.... Don't blame me. Blame Discovery channel for putting all this mysterious bullshit inside my head.
So the you go. Those were some of the random stuff which goes inside the great mind of the Guy Wearing Shorts.
Sorry if there are any grammer or spelling issues. I was using my phone rather than my great laptop which has a strange line going through the middle of its display.
I Need To Sleeeeeeeep! I'm gonna give it a shot.
