As I converse with my friends in these challenging and unprecedented times, I find myself wanting more.  More social interaction, more time in public spaces, more freedom.  Isn’t that what The United States of America was made for?  Freedom?  But the thing I yearn for in the deepest most passionate way is truly, more emoticons.  Apple Emoticons.  Do you ever talk about pleasures such as eating a big old Happy Meal from McDonalds, but can’t put into words the joyousness you reap from that greasy cardboard box?  That’s why I, and so many others like me need an emoticon for this.  Come on, Apple.  This is what Steve Jobs didn’t do chemo for.  Make the world a better place, and develop this emoticon.
