It has been awhile! I decided that i want to take a bigger swing at this writing thing, I am in college full time - since this past summer, have a new computer ( I was going to say a "great" new computer but most of the time it gives me gas) (oh and that is just my learning curve) and even as busy as I am with college full time, I still almost think I need to carve out a space in time and just do this from time to time.
So, for today, I sat down to find the Blogg, shovel some stuff out of the way, and see how the keyboard feels! I do like my coffee cup warmer - seems a very needed item at the desk.
The desk has come back to life!! It was created in 2001 from wood that was originally designed as display racks for a portable gift shop. Typically 1" x 6" knotty pine that is eight feet long, 33" deep and seems to be just about the right height off the ground. I was working at the little desk from 1955 that you could just barely slide under, had the center drawer and the four drawers on each side... dark mahogany stain... it had my computer and two twenty inch monitors on top of it... no room for books or notebooks, either one. So out this comes from the garage. The little desk is downstairs so that Kyle can have a proper study area and this big monster is in our guest room so that Melissa may vetch about it. Me, I'm smiling cause I have room to write, room to spread out books and room to create room as I need it! Oh, don't worry, we jammed the spare bed in here. Melissa was very good with helping for all of this - then it hit me, she just moved me into my own room, complete with bed and everything!! She's smooth... Sorry, Melissa is my wife; Kyle, the eight year old son!
Warm winter sun screaming in the window, so nice!! It's hitting the monitor at about a 45 degree angle and WOW - look at all the dust on this thing !! Where is that spray cleaner ?? I do like the no glare monitor.
College full time - started this past summer, 2013, full time summer courses (10 credit hours in four classes), on into full time fall courses(15 credit hours with five classes); signed up for two winter courses(six credit hours with two classes) and then completing a two year degree in the spring with four(12 credit hours) courses to finish things off !! Not bad for a fifty year old man... he says with a smile!! As it stands, my worst grade was my first summer course in financial accounting; 15 weeks jammed into four weeks - not having been in college in twenty-three years and I pulled a C+ !! I'll take it. The rest were a B, B+ and an A !! This fall I am running in the B's and the A's
That being said, I need to hit one course to study for a test tomorrow, then get out the door and get the thanksgiving shopping done !!
This feels comfortable. Thank you for your time, and thanks for listening! See You later.

Getting the App
Geeze, you walk away for a few months and they change everything.... I just wanted to sit down for a few minutes and get some crap out of the brain pan! Sign in, can't sign in, you need the app - oh. go get the app, wow, look at all the pretty app's !! Oh need WordPress, need maps, need.... dumb ass, need to step away, you wanted to write remember? Ok, download the app, open the app, it wants a title.... brain dump - excellent, create app - can't, box isn't highlighted..... style box, who gives a crap - blank, give me the white thing i put the letters into.... fine - style - simple !! Click create blogg. Can't, box isn't highlighted.... mother f'er. blogg web address - well what if I don't want it on a web address? Shit, I don't even know my house address.... type this, not available, type that - still not available.... add some numbers and an explicative - oh look, that's available !! Yeah, I can click the box !! Spam filter notification.... i don't care about spam... if my brother didn't use a spell checker, I would never get a single word form him because it would ALL be marked as spam.... how do I shut this thing off? Fine, later - now can I write? Your blogg has been created. well, poop, I didn't write anything yet - wft? Looking..... looking.... how about I click the thing with the pencil symbol on it? HAZAA !! Sweet Mother of Peril, the white thing I put the letters into !! Somebody should do a thing about the Baby Jesus being born in this day and age and trying to find his ass with app's, updates, bad url's and Google maps..... And good luck getting his ass out of that cave..... I don't think there is an app for that..... oh, one more thing - the stupid pop up window because I can't spell to save my ass? How about a choice that says, "piss off with this window until I'm dun and let me be made fun of all at one time!" and take your red lines with you please !!
Changing the title of this thing and going on to another one, stupid app's! Oh, epiphany, his computer I am working on has windows 8 - now I'm starting to smell the toast burning.....
