I’ve just hooked up my new pc and the anxiety is overwhelming!! Everything is different, the font, the screen resolution, the icons their size and color tone, the speed of the mouse which I keep adjusting but just can’t get right.
Isn’t this supposed to be a joyful experience? What’s wrong with me.
I think it’s about time we all start talking about the pains and anxieties of introducing a new PC into our homes.
This cold stranger with the new and clean keyboard, no sticking buttons, none at all.
No pictures or videos that you’re scared the kids might find.
No Bookmarks!!! must I copy EVERYTHING I loved about my old PC, the one I affectionately referred to as “My Whore”.
My husband keeps referring to this PC as “My New Whore”, But that just feels wrong.

I’m going to ask Mr. Smirnoff and I’ll let ya’ll know what he says………….To Be Continued

During one of my recent attempts to finish my blog redesign, I stumbled upon what is called ElectricSheep. It’s a screen saver program that connects to a network of other users once your PC goes into hibernation. The user can submit a fractal Flame image that they refer to as a dream, a PC Dream.
So what is a Fractal flame Image?

You can create your own FF with a simple freeware program called Apophysis.

Apophysis is like an adult version of Spirograph without all the pieces.

If ever stressed out, just put on Simon and Garfunkel’s greatest hits and create ElectricSheep.
Maybe some tea too?

Off the subject, just for the record, I have every intention on committing on a new Theme for my blog. But it seems to be taking longer than even I expected. I’m struggling, teetering between lack of motivation and complete chaos. All is well just not a very good recipe for accomplishment.

I just left my doctors and refilled my prescription. What this means is I now have an attention span and can write.
O.k I have an attention span but still can’t write.
I need a new drug, Prescription drug of course because if it doesn’t come from a doctor you’ve paid $150 to for 15mins of their time then it’s a crime and your scum.
Fortunately for me I have insurance to cover my dealers…I mean doctors fee.
this is not a rant against the psychiatric community it’s more of a rant about society as a whole. My father said it best with an editorial called Elitist. I am an elitist. I try not to be but struggle with my disgust at the meth addict with no teeth or the pot head from high school that is now a coke addict and still working at the local bar. I do feel superior to these people while I take Adderall like it’s candy and stay up all night playing Zuma. I have alot of growth ahead of me.

Elitist

Elitist thinking plays a major roll in the perpetuation of the failed drug war. The temporary escape of drugs from a life filled with difficulty, poverty, hate and self-loathing is truly intoxicating. For the desperately poor the money from drug sales is an equally intoxicating temptation.

For lives devoid of these miseries the problem is distant and hard to understand. The old expression “driven to drink” is just a colloquialism to most elitists. They are not tempted to risk all that they have with illegal drugs. To them it is nothing more than weakness. They see a difference between taking their prescribed Valium to cope with the stress in their lives and a homeless man smoking a joint under a bridge for the same reason.

Drug abuse is not choosing between lawfulness and criminality, it is choosing a fleeting alternative to despair over the relative slight possibility of punishment in a free society. No matter how draconian these punishments the abuse of drugs continues, as does human misery. Difficult lives become impossible, not because of drugs but because of the drug war.

The elitists see only laws, crime, and punishment. They do not see their position in life as superior they see themselves as superior. They then use their superior position with the government to visit even more misery on the miserable. If these elitists are truly superior then why can they not see how wrong they are?

I wrote a few months ago about BUI-Blogging under the Influence. I was referring to alcohol then.
I must now add a new blogging acronym to my list of things I really shouldn’t do. BWFO-blogging while Freaking Out.

Both my husband and I we’re labeled as “under-achievers” during our primary school years, actually we where under-achievers.
I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I assumed my children would be also. I assumed they would be smarter than most but prepared myself to settle for average or slightly less than average results from them. Despite my pessimistic outlook my Daughter has strived since here first day of Pre-k.
