I looked down at my keyboard today and the "delete" button made me pretty upset.  It made me angry because it's pretty much done away with the notation "P.S." at the bottom of letters. There is no more "damn I forgot to write this sentence before I wrote "Sincerely, Sean" because you can just move your cursor back up and add it in. It's not right.

Then I got mad at the mouse pad. When a sentence is written it marks a specific thought in time. No technology should....

Hang on, the coffee is done. 

Alright, no technology should have the right to go back and forth through time. It's too powerful.

It was thoughts like these that got me thinking, as thoughts have a tendency to do. More and more mental gloom covered my brain as I went through all the changes like the dismissal of the "P.S." Cell phones doing away with the passing of notes in a classroom. Emails doing away with the average letter. . . 

Then again, I had so many typo's in this entry that had it not been for the time traveling cursor and the "delete key" this probably wouldn't make much sense at all. Also, the after taste of licking an envelope closed and the potential of a paper cut on your tongue does make clicking a "send button" pretty tempting.

P.S. - Ah, who am I kidding? I added my P.S. thought back in the second paragraph.
