What?

This isn't me by any stretch of the imagination. I am just posting this to show others what they are like:)... By the way please don't ask my wife about this. It's not that I don't listen to her she just forgets to tell me stuff then blames me. It's like the other day, she was telling me about work and that she did something and something else happend and then this other thing and Uh.... I don't remember but I know she forgot to tell me everything so it's not me...
I also have trouble hearing certin pitches due to working around loud machines and loud music (ya this is good) so if by any chance she does say something and I didn't hear it, like honey can you do the dishes, well I have a medical excuse. She happens to have an angelic voice but unfortunatly it falls into that range that I have trouble with (does this sound convincing?). So if you ever come to my house and see dishes in the sink you will know why they are there, because I LOVE to do the dishes as soon as possible and would never leave them in ther to long. I have to go now I think I hear someone calling me!

C.R.A.D. update

Wow I googled crad to see what would happen. You wouldn't believe it there were a LOT of links to crad. It has many different acronym meanings, it is even peoples last name and a web site. I thought I made something up, but I guess not in case you forgot it stands for Computer Related Alzheimer's Disease. Here are a few acronyms from my google search.
CRAD Chief of Research & Development
CRAD Composite Radar Data Processing
CRAD Contract Research And Development
CRAD Criteria and Review Approach Documents
CRAD Customer Requested Arrival Date
a funny website even

I think mine is better. And I have found that CRAD effects you more the latter you are at the computer. Between 3pm and 9pm crad is only a minor annoyance how ever between 9 and 11 it becomes more acute So that you have a very hard time finding your way around your computer. The 11 to 1am shift is really bad not only can't you find your way around but you forget how to spell and type (I am a horrible speller any way, thank you spell check). Any time after 1am you might as well not even turn on the computer because you will be like Homer Simpson at a MENSA meeting, 4247 * pi= 472874mmm pie is good arhhhggg!!! You get the point!

Bluetooth

It is impossible to keep up with all the new technology that comes out every 10 seconds. I am so far behind that the only bluetooth I have is from not going to the dentist. As for the convenience of all this wonderful electronic wizardry life is good, dare I say to good? Are we getting lazy? does this technology give us the rite to be rude? Was George Jetson truly a happy person? These are all valid questions.
I am not lazy I just like having stuff done for me so I can focus my attention on other things like surfing (not the kind that needs water) Oh wait I thought that having all those conveniences was to give me more time to spend doing things I needed to do. If you look at my last post you will see that I spend the "extra" time just remembering what I needed to do. It seems the easier our lives are made by technology the more we can fill it with stuff. Stuff that can consume more of our life then we ever thought possible.
These Bluetooth phones are both wonderful and a evil. I know we all read about unplugging now and then to relax but how about taking that STUPID ear piece out of your head more. I am SICK of those people who have that wireless earpiece for there cell phone. I can't believe how OBLIVIOUS some people are that they are being rude. If you are with another person please take it out of your ear. They are not meant to be in your ear 24/7. I think some people may even get them stuck in there do to a wax build up virtually cementing it in their ear. I have even seen people with them in during church. I am sorry but God doesn't need Bluetooth to get ahold of me so I am sure that you aren't that much more important then me for him to give you a ring. The only reason to have one in when at church or in a face to face conversation is due to the wax thing I talked about (or surgically implanted and as far as I know that isn't being done in a Verizon store yet).
So if you have any bluetooth that doesn't require any electrical charge then go to the dentist but if you do have an electrical device in your ear please take it out when not talking to it.
Oh and George Jetson I will get to later. Although bring on the flying car now...

Best post ever! or (C.R.A.D.)?

I wanted to tell you about uh, UH, UH, Oh shoot I forgot. This could have been the best post ever but I forgot what I wanted to post. I think there needes to be a new definition added to the dictionary, I don't know maybe even a new medical study done, to explain why people forget what they wanted to do when they sit down in front of the computer.
Please would any one let me know why this happens or if there is a support group out there to help me. Does this ever happen to you? You are at work or in the car and you say to yourself; don't forget to go to www.whatever... that would be a great site. Then you get home and sit down and fire up the ol' computer, click on the browser and think oh let me check my email real quick then I will go to that site. Next you have to delete 20 spam mails about bigger this smaller that medication for things you didn't even know existed and that poor nigerian woman who lost her husband but not his money. Then you read your actual mail, not the seven forwards of stupid jokes, you maybe write a few friends before logging out. Now you wanted to go to that website, what was it again? Oh shoot I forgot.
Well I have that problem all the time and not just websites but now it's blogging as well. I think of all the cool things during the day that I will post when I get home, you know those prize winning, world stopping, heart wrenching stories that will become legend when someone important stumbles across your blog. Instead I sit hear and post this kind of rubbish that no one will read past the first paragraph, and put in a few pictures for good measure.
So please help me define this and put a name to this problem like C.R.A.D.(Computer Related Alzheimer Disease) or something.

My first comment

Wow I just checked my email and it said I had a comment from "anonymous". Thats cool someone actualy looked at my blog site and said something, and not anything mean either. I got a compliment that feels good. I wish they would have left their name and email address because I would have liked to thank them for being the FIRST ever to leave a comment on my blog. I bet it was my wife though. Not that that would be a bad thing but I just hope that more people have seen this then her. Although she is the only one who really counts it would still be nice to know others have ventured here. (See I know she will read this so if I say nice things I can score better points) I think from now on when I see a blog that I like I too will comment because now I know what it is like to see that...
I also hope that anyone that reads this and has any suggestions that they would give me their "two cents" both in coins and comments because I could alway use money and wisdom, in either order...
To any that read this I hope you have a wonderful day!
