Computer Literacy Should be Mandatory

Jeebees heebees what's with people who still confuse Mhz and Ghz? Is it really so difficult to acquaint oneself with the inner workings of a machine one uses everyday? Aren't they *curious*? I certainly don't pretend to know the personal computer inside and out but SERIOUSLY come on people it's the 21st century. Learn about the computer already. (<-- rant directed towards my cousin and his whole family, excluding my little 8 year old cousin who is probably smarter than the rest of her family put together)

I don't know how my dad worked as tech support once. Maybe I just plainly don't have the patience. Oh no! Bad thought...what about my kids? Isn't one suppose to have the slightest bit of patience with them? D'you think I have that slightest bit? Well in that case, I hope to God my husband's got heaps and heaps of patience.

On a brighter note, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is pretty much my favorite thing to listen to right now. The excitement! The dazzling key changes! The crazy melodies! Major happiness ensues. I wish I had better headphones to fully enjoy the music though.

Basically wasted a lot of time today. Got my math homework done. Had the foresight to bring along a raincoat for the...uhh...rain. Had a nice din din with the bf and am now researching some Sartre quotes to make my professor think that I actually read some books this semester.

Hey dood, what are you doing with your life? I don't know what I'm doing with mine. Don't you think we should figure something out soon? I'll leave you with a quote:
I am. I am. I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I … because … ugh! I flee. I exist, that's all. And that trouble is so vague, so metaphysical that I am ashamed of it.
~Jean-Paul Sartre

I hope your family doesn't read this blog and how you insult them.

Haha it is ridiculous how some people are so computer illiterate in this day and age, but i'm sure it is NOTHING to trying to convince my grandmother how to use a computer, sweet god, it's like trying to teach a snake to fly a space ship.

Not that my grandmother isn't smart but at 80 years of age she just doesn't have the ability to learn the complicated doo-dads we use today.
