or not if you don't
while falling in love again (no worries, the link will appear somewhere in this entry as I tend to link-whore my newly discovered love interests until they run away, as you probably know... but meanwhile, it gets a bit beyond ridiculous when waiting three minutes for a page to load and watching the characters stagger across the screen and beautiful voices and melodies stutter and videos flicker as the memory overloads...
a procrastinator's heaven...
and once again I ask the wind (myself included), would it be a whole lot better with a $600 system or a $1000 system or a $2000 system, probably, but the key is how much does it take to get a system that will let me browse the way I want to browse and still do all the other things I do while browsing I want to know how much will it take to let me get me really aroused...
I ought to find my web developer friend I once had in this area... we'll call him Robert... I think his number is still in my phone, even... calling him out of the blue would be just like me... he had a web development business and was also a semi-professional musician and his wife was a high school music teacher and moonlighted as a vocal coach... they didn't discover any of my talents, of course, because
come to think of it (casually mentioned, as if this is not some deep dark secret erupting in massive trauma confession, ya know), my personal self-confidence in my talents has dwindled to pathetic... now pass the donuts like a good Homer... wait, I'm the Homer, so pass the donuts to me...
but you see (see?), I don't want to buy a $1000 system and then be frustrated with it's capacity to suck in the music and video (mostly music, but the graphics must be processed or the audio is choked along with everything else, ya know?)... I don't want to get my hopes up about recording and maybe hooking up a midi keyboard and playing with the high tech music toys again if the computer I buy is going to be dragging me down... but seriously irreverently seriously, I am getting tired of reading myself writing about thinking about this too...
how's that for a segue? (would that be a new car model name?... Chevrolet Segue... Chevy Segue... yeah, rolls right off the tongue... and what a perfectly appropriate name for a Hybrid, aye?)... see, pure genius and nobody knows...
today is Rasputin's birthday... not that Rasputin, but the one who personally keeps Pepsi ahead of Coke around here... much happiness, oh caffeinated one... may you survive your habits to celebrate again...
I can be a stinker, I know...
I probably ought to simply go out and drop $2000 on the system and hope I am not grumbling in afterthought cuz all this forethought (and sudden segues) could give a guy a headache... maybe it's the ethanol...
laughing, but still, I mean, you understand, maybe, some of it, maybe, but if just a little, laugh, or not if you don't...
maybe my door is a jar...

salt water You Tube
Too many choices...rather than settle for what is good enough we think only of what we forego by making a choice, so worried what we will choose will lead to regret so we become paralyzed and do nothing instead. Maybe if we had fewer choices life would be easier.
C=64!
just get a fucking computer man, off craigslist, for $200, w/ webcam and mic/speaker headset for virtual sex.
that is all you need.
get this guy down to $1K and there cannot be a hotter chick magnet in a coffee shop than you using this macbook to type up your blog wifi style...
Chevy Hydro, running on hydrogen...
Craigslist?... Orlando is so not Cali, the Craigslists here are pathetic, technology here is pathetic, WiFi and computer culture here is pathetic, there are no places where people sit and look cool with Macs or any computers, this is the south, backwoods, thirty years behind in techno-savvy...
besides, the last thing I am looking for is virtual sex and the next to the last thing I am looking for is some girl impressed by superficial appearances, status, or money...
besides, what I want most from the computer is fast downloading and processing of music and images without bandwidth or memory traffic jams (the fast CPU and memory and video card, also for the HDTV tuner card) and editing and copying of CDs and DVDs (especially the CDs, that's why the two burners) and hookinh up eight speakers for a surround sound system to finally have music in this space again (that's why the good sound card) and maybe feel a little more like it's my home...
on the flip side, my roommates trash everything and I wouldn't want that system in the living room and it defeats the purpose in the bedroom so, stalemate as long as I'm living here or I just get it and hope my roommates don't mess with it too much...
on the other hand, I want a laptop too, but not for the impressiveness and definitely not for show... Mac is beautiful and I'd love to go all out in Mac world, but out of my budget because bare bones is over a thousand and I want a lot more computer than bare bones...
I'll probably have a laptop by the middle of October...
maybe I will buy a cheap thing cuz anything will be an upgrade, after all, prices should be coming down again just before Xmas...
don't mind me, I'm amused :)
PS... the macbook linked is already removed... probably a fake... that's Orlando in the computer age...
I also want to learn how to partition the hard drive and install Linux and see how that works...
and I want to learn how to network the house so I can copy the music on Precious's computer because she's too lazy to copy it for me...
and I want to learn how to make a network secure so I don't have their SPAM and viruses spilling on to my system...
and...
you keep looking for the hot babes magnetized by flashy what's hot stuff, I wanna find me a geek genius (being adorable would be a plus :)
you network the house with a $30 wifi router that you plug into your cable modem, serenity can teach you that.
now stop the banter and buy a machine, any machine!
I don't have Wifi... I don't have cable... DSL and land lines here... two of the computers are too old for wireless...
any machine includes an emachine or worse...
and any machine will not do what I want it to do... I get bandwidth jams and memory lags at work with an Dell Optiplex 745 and I don't do any music or video or browsing high graphics sites at work...
and I know how to open the door (router), what I want to learn is how to secure the passage of stuff through the doors (and not just trust Microsoft to tell me it's secure)...
and other stuff too...
everything I've learned so far tells me that I want more that I should spend at the moment, so I save and wait for certain component prices to come down a bit more...
besides, I'm here for the banter...
are you saying i'm not hot enough for webcam sex?
what not hot?
you can join my webcam hotties when I start up the webcam hottie business I thought about starting up in the early 90s...
you don't mind being exploited, right?
spread nutella on my nipples for you any day, just get the friggin webcam!
ok, seriously, what's a webcam gonna do for me? (even if I did use it... and I don't have much interest in using one for anything at the moment)...
especially since I am not feeling all too creative outside of work this week or lately...
life is so not visual for me these days...
