Life With Creepy




For any of yall who are getting tired of this American Arcology series, I'm starting a new series on my other blog: "Life With Creepy".

Creepy is the kind of factotum bum who would do anything to avoid getting a job. Because he had a kind of annoying Boo Radley/Jerry Lewis personality, most employers were happy to oblige him on his stay-at-home goal.

He "worked" mostly as a movie extra, but going to school at the age of 50 to skittle college grant and loan money wasn't beneath him, either. He is the only person I ever met who actually got a community college scholarship designed for people who score poorly on their entrance exams: a Stupidity Scholarship.

  1. According to recent research by Ofcom, 37% of adults and 60% of teens admit to being ‘highly addicted’ to their smartphones, with users checking their smartphones on average, 34 times a day. Additionally, 51% of adults and 65% of teens use their smartphones while socializing with others, and 22% and 47% respectively, confess to answering their smartphones even while on the toilet.

    So the International 'Moodoff Day’ is encouraging people around the world to avoid using smartphones for a few hours on February 26. The organization is urging adults and teenagers to spend from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. that day without using their smartphone. This events will celebrate each year on last Sunday of February.

    if you feel you could benefit from a morning without smartphones and mobile devices and want to encourage others to follow suit, go to www.MoodOffDay.org and pledge your support. You can even post your personal experiences of smartphone addiction or upload funny images showing smartphone addicts in action at www.facebook.com/MoodOffDay .

    Moodoff Day is aiming to raise awareness of smart phone addiction and to minimise the impact on relationships, work/life balance, reduce risk of injury in traffic and improve quality of life.
