"Texting Miss Clark
Colin Espiner in On The House | 11:39 am 11 September 2007
So Damien O’Connor offered his resignation to Prime Minister Helen Clark via text message. Isn’t technology wonderful? It kind of makes Brad Pitt’s dumping of Jennifer Aniston by fax look positively luddite.
Maybe O’Connor knew that Clark was a bit of a text fan. The Prime Minister’s abilities in this area are well known. She texted her parents after almost falling out of a light plane during the last election. She carried on quite a relationship by text with Grant Dalton during the America’s Cup campaign.
As O’Connor himself said this morning, a text message was the one way he knew of getting through to Clark.
One can imagine the conversation went something like:
O’Connor: “Hln sori i stffed up agn. Went bit ott with rgby & all. Shd rsgn. Rgds doc”
Clark: “Gr8 tks doc can use agnst u lata. Stay put 4 now cos cant find any1 else. Lol hc”"

It's so nice for me to have found this blogg of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blogg is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I POETRY write, among other types of Artistic Texts.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another. However...
Some feel invaded and ofended that I present myself this way in their blogs and rudely insult me back or post a mockery post on me.
Some think I'm playing the smart guy who wants to profit, in my miserable and ridiculous gain with Adsense (go figure!), from and with others curiosity and benevolence.
Some simply ignore me.
Some aknowledge that It's most important we all take notion that there's milions of us bloguing arownd the world and thus vital any kind of awareness such as I believe this my self-introduction card and insert apeal brings in.
May you be one of those open and friendly spirits.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you FOR A SECOND click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy unemployedly need it!!!) if you did click it FOR A SECOND, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-helping eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.
About this I must say, by my own experience, that no one realy cares (maybe a few) about this apeal I make, still I believe in my Work and Dreams and thus I'll keep on apealing and searching so strong is my will.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
