So I don’t get it. What happened to the US being the leading technological nation? Why are we behind everyone else in our research? And why are our cell phones so old fashioned compared to say - Japan?
I used to know this guy who would go to visit his family in Japan and buy a few phones. They would have that special chip so it’d work here. And they were such cool and easy to use phones. With everything that you’d want it to do.
Just like that, why aren’t things made in the US anymore? Its not like we’re lacking space or anything. Right? Maybe I need to do research on it, but whats the benefit in having someone else make everything? People need the jobs to buy the items in the first place. And let’s sell them to someone else to have them buy it from us. If we’re gong to be such a selfish and “selfless” country shouldn’t we be self sufficient somehow?
So I am going to try this blog thing again. It is SO easy to just not do it. Like making your bed or obeying a diet. Or anything really.
So today at work I threw a tantrum on technology. I got sick of having my life made more difficult by a program I have to use. So I decided this: I would like to live in a cave where technology is a just word we don’t talk about because it isn’t relevant. I might be happier.
Especially if I had good food and good company, good movies and books to read and watch. And maybe good games to play so I’d have mental stimulation and challenges aside from building fires and keeping my things dry. Oh! and decent monsters that I’d be able to chase away so my life would be exciting.
I have good plans I believe.
Anyway, so writing I am to do and it’s going to be on a computer and I am going to be involved in technology. So I have to get over it and/or suck it up. But I still would like to take these programs out to a field and kick the crap out of them. And that is my final offer.
And anyway part two, because it is so easy to not write, I am going to get myself kick started like to do when I run. I’ll say “Rachel, move your lazy ass”. It’s a good pep talk. And similarly, like running, I am going to start small and build on it. I used to train and force myself to just run one mile. Now I am forcing myself to write just for 1 minute. I mean - 10. Ten solid minutes.
And alas, ten minutes are over. Goodnight.
Today is SUCH a big day!!! Voting, Mardi Gras anddddddddd a stupid parade! I cannot contain my excitment! And I am not voting, nor am i parading, but I do have mardi gras beads on my desk left over from my last new orleans trip.
Just felt like sharing.
