I spent Thursday and Friday of last week in NYC for a “new artist showcase”. The Veronicas is a group you may (or may not) have heard of.

Sisters from Australia. Kind of like if the Olsen twins were musicians. They weren’t bad…but I didn’t hear a song that screamed “hit.”

Regardless, New York is always fun. Got to hang with friends , but noticed something while at dinner.
There was a point in the evening when I scanned our dinner table and noticed EVERYONE on their phones. Texting, talking, checking e-mail, etc…Our lives are controlled by technology. Think about it. Could you survive without the internet? How long can you go without checking your phone? Has your man ever blown off sex with you to engage in something having to do with electronics?

I’ll use myself as an example. I’m a gamer. If I get into a video game, it isn’t uncommon for me to spend hours at a time playing. Sandy might disagree, but I make a conscious effort to NEVER let my love for gaming get in the way of my responsibilities as a husband or father. The last thing I want to see happen is for my wife to become my ex-box.

Saw this last week and freaked out! Did you know they’re making a G.I. Joe live action movie? They cast the guy who played Darth Maul in Star Wars to play Snake Eyes.

Look closely at this picture. You can actually hear bones breaking. Soooo bad ass.
