09/27/02 - Incredible! I can hardly believe this! I'm even using exclamation points! Funny, the other day I was reading a grammer book (that's funny in itself) and came across puncuation at the end of the sentence. Seems like a no brainer ... periods, question marks, exclamation points. But then I realized that I very seldom use exclamation points when I write. In the book there were lots of examples of sentences used plainly, with a period, then the same sentence used with an exclamation point. I pondered a little. No, still don't think I can use those in my writing, I thought. I would sound breathless with all that exclaiming. But, as what usually happens after pondering, I've changed my mind!!!! I love these little guys, !!!! And, they fit perfectly at the moment because I'm so excited! I'm excited because I'm finally back writing on my web site! The reason for that is because my computer is actually working properly. Thank you so much Dr. Jones, my computer guru. With much trouble on his part, not to mention a lot of time spent as well, this old joke of a computer has been tricked into thinking that it's a fine, young thing. It's working beautifully. I even have Windows 98 now!!! So, now my broadband internet connection is able to run free and wild. This is just incredible! The last few entries I had written here were very labored. The "before" computer had had enough! It was taking me a couple of hours just to get an entry on line. I was frustrated. I put so much importance on getting my writing done, which was becoming an unsuccessful feat, that I couldn't write at all. I almost gave up. I thought maybe I would have to scrimp and save to get a new computer. I had had enough too! To tell you the truth, at this moment, I'm feeling a little angry. I think it's anger. I feel this frustration welling up and a very unhappy feeling. It's not a good feeling. I'm unhappy with myself for having it too. So, I got on the computer and gave this web page another try. I had been afraid to try again. I didn't want that frustrated feeling, not now. But since I was already frustrated ... and angry, I figured what the hell. It just might be different this time. And ... it was!!!! So, I appear to be back in business again!!! I'm still feeling a little angry, or maybe I'm just tired. It's been a long work week. I don't want any conflict, no drama. I just want a little relaxation, mixed with a little fun. Is that too much to ask? Whoops, now I'm sounding demanding. No need for that. I guess I'll just do the same thing I did with the computer. Give it a little time, and never give up hope. Never give up hope!!!! |
