Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

            So, as the year draws to a close (THANK GOODNESS!!!) things in my life are starting to fall apart. I don’t know if this is indicative of the year to come, or if it is a simple physical representation of 2006, I personally pray it’s the latter, but in any event, Like the novel says, things fall apart.

Glasses: The other night I was sitting at my laptop Dino, getting my work on and suddenly, my glasses just slid off of my face, silently, almost angelically, cascading gently to the ground. I looked at them and saw that one of the arms had fallen off and was subsequently still stuck in my hair. These were my favorite pair too, the transition glasses, you know the ones that turn into sunglasses when you go outside...yep, those. No worries though. I have a back up pair, my second favorite glasses that have become my back up glasses. I put them on, settle back in in front of Dino and I promise you thirty seconds later, the same exact freaking thing happens!!!!!!! Come on Blood!!! Are you serious right now?! So both of my glasses decided to crumble apart and fall out from all of the hard work they put in in 2006. Sigh...

Dino: Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have a love hate relationship with my laptop. With all of the freezing and internet problems and attitude problems, Dino and I have had more than out fair share of fights! Well, I think Dino is now on his way out. It has taken me a day and a half to write this blog because Dino only stays on for 20 minute intervals these days. I suppose the task of being on and computing is too much for him these days, so he just shuts off mid sentence at his whim, usually after 20 minutes of typing. No Tanto Mucho. I think my favorite part though is when Dino freezes, then turns off and then won’t turn back on. And then we won’t even get on the times when the mouse decides it only likes the right bottom corner and won’t come out until I turn him off, try for about 10 minutes to get him back on, and then we are back in business. Dino is definitely on the outs, but I do have to thank him for all of his hard work. Spoken Silence was produced on his hard drive and for that I am thankful. It looks like I am able to produce one book per laptop! LOL!! DIZAMN Dino just froze again!!!!!!!

While both of these things may seem like minor deals, for me it is my life. I can’t see or write without either one of these things! Ah well. Hopefully the LONGEST YEAR EVER will draw to a close quickly (here’s hoping) and I will be able to recollect myself and get it together in 07. Okay, all this freezing and rebooting is not the business, so I will end this here!

Peace Y’all!
