Emoji For iPhone Totally Kicks Ass!

What is emoji you ask?  Emoji is the Japanese term for picture characters or emoticons used in wireless messages or webpages.  I know that in the United States we have emoticons also, but believe me, they are no where near the level of kick-ass as emoji.  How do I know this?  Well, most of my friends who have iPhones and I have an app. for our phone that lets us use emoji in our text messages to each other.  Did I mention that this totally kicks ass?  Maybe it is better if I just show you.

Say you just got done watching a TV show you really loved and there is not really a great way to express it in words.  Don’t worry, emoji has you covered with the sparkle heart:

Want to brighten your friends day by sending them a pick me up and letting them know that Tom Selleck loves them?  Emoji has your back:

At times Emoji can help you communicate when words just won’t do it (That’s a Wild boar, octopus, rocket ship, Korean flag, wedding chapel to you Brian. His response? Guitar, beer, purple eggplant! Hellz yeah!)

WARNING: this level of communication is only for very advanced emoji users.  If you want to, you can actually use emoji along with words to get a point across.  This can be an amazing way to do high level texting with only the greatest of emoji warriors.

Well, now you know about emoji.  If you have an iPhone get on it.  You can’t blame me anymore for being out of the loop on this.
