would the man please step forward?

Have you ever wondered how a 40-year old man just forgot to grow up? I mean, what was this fool doing when we were in our 20's and 30's? I know I was schooling, then starting a business, working seven days a week, owning up to my responsibility as a viable citizen of Planet Earth. What road did he veer off? Here we are in our 40's and I feel I'm dating a version of my teenage son, or what might be my son if I ever had children. Why does this feel like a long-distance relationship when we live in the same town? Why can't he express himself beyond a text message or an email? Do men feel they are truly expressing their feelings inside of 140 characters, at 1 a.m. no less? What the Hell is with that? What we have here is a failure to communicate. I recall letter writing used to be a form of viable human expression (not to mention a validation the creature could compose a sentence). Now, we're bombarded by the nanosecond from tweets, facebook notes, instant messaging, texting, email and all the other techno-shit that confirms men are getting worse at communicating, not better. Sorry! but a tweet ain't an expression of love in my book, gals!
