[Denim Deb]

Glad to see you back! I've missed you, and just may need to pick your brains some.

 

[valmom]

Yeah! You're back! Congratulations on the netbook and "free" wifi! Looking forward to more tales.

 

[sunsaver]

Thanks Valmom! Its great to be back. i went ahead and bought the range extender. im about to hook it up now. i think i might have good little short story in me tonight. i miss my nights of sipping vodka and reminicing.

 

[valmom]

Ooh, and I'm off work tomorrow to catch up and read it!

Oh, and I'm sipping Meyer's rum. On the rocks. I like vodka, but I've been spoiled- I like Stoli.

 

[sunsaver]

I couldnt get the extender to work. Theres almost no reception inside. Im ready to hire someone to help. All i friggin want is to connect wirelessly! I think my metal roof is the problem!

Theres nothing wrong with rum!

Its good to see all of you again! I missed you too, DD! I'm going to catch up on some of my favorite journals and then see if i can crank out something from my past. My connection is still iffy, but that's how it's always been. At least ive got a new computer that can connect again! Chat with ya'll later!

Glad to have you back!

I have one of those little Asus net books for when we travel. We also use it as a second computer here at home. So far I have been pleased with it.

Well, i got sick at heart last night. I wrote for four hours, some pretty good stuff i thought, but i bumped the back button or something while my internet connection was down, and i lost everything. Thats the way my life seems to be these days: two steps forward, and then God kicks out three of my teeth. I must have been a real bad dude in my previous lifetime. It isn't always like this. There are brief periods in my life when the Universe seems to grant my every wish, rather than taking every passing negative thought and morphing it into a real disaster. I seem to be in a love/hate relationship, spiritually speaking. I love God for his occasional mercy, and hate him for being such a bastard the rest of the time. I was much happier when i was an idiot atheist who naively trusted that his wife was not cheating on him. Things were still going wrong or breaking down all the time back then, but entropy or chaos theory were easier to handle than to think some intelligent force is deliberately fighting against everything im trying to do. Why are fossil fuels so sacred? Why do we not have electric cars, when the first car ever built was an electric car, and everything else in our world is electric and rechargeable. Even our diesel trains are actually powered by electric motors and a diesel generator. War, famine, pollution: this aint exactly the sweetest little planet in the galaxy. To say that evil is pervasive in our world is a massive understatement.
Well, it could've been worse. I could've been born as an African American living in the 1950s. I could've been a dwarf, or deformed, or much more ugly than i am. I'm not sure how much bearing those things would have on my happiness. One thing is certain: if i wasn't so afraid that there's an infinite number of worse Hell planets out there, i would've blown my brains out a long time ago. It seems my only hope for salvation is to tough it out like Jesus did, pain and suffering and all the unpleasant surprises, disappointment with humanity, etc.
Ironically, im in a good mood today. So what if i have to climb on to the roof to get on the internet? Im in deep shade, there's a good breeze up here, and no mosquitos. Did i spell that right? I think ill bring some cushions up here, some iced tea, get comfy, try to leave my paranoid schitzophrenia behind.
