Everyone is completely overwhelmed, except I kind of think that they aren’t and should reconsider their position.

It seems as if I hear someone say that they are overwhelmed or someone they know is overwhelmed or a certain segment of the population is overwhelmed almost every day.

I don’t get it.

The average American watches 34 hours of television a week. Spends almost two hours a day on social media. Spends 40 minutes a day on Facebook alone.

They spend countless hours playing the latest version of Angry Birds or Words with Friends or Candy Crush and even more time complaining and gossiping.

These do not seem like the statistics of an overwhelmed population.

I’m not saying that people don’t feel overwhelmed. I’m merely suggesting that they aren’t actually overwhelmed.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, allow me suggest a little less Law & Order. Fewer Angry Birds. A little less Facebook.

Apple’s “Misunderstood” is brilliant and completely unrealistic

Even though I saw the ending coming a mile away, I thought this commercial was incredibly clever. Sweet, even.

Also completely unrealistic.

Every time I see someone with their head buried in their phone, they are texting or playing that stupid Candy Crush game.

Sadly, no one is ever creating. 

Admittedly, I have never played Candy Crush, but I think stupid is a more than safe assumption.
