When the computers die... there's always the ol faithful


I get so frustrated because I have all these ideas in my head and too many of them never reach this piece of paper. I try so hard to make sure this doesn't happen -- that my ideas don't get separated from this important idea that I call paper. But sometimes things, time, business... life gets in the way.

The bad thing about technology is there's always some chaos going inside of it it. Computers will always make some mistake, sometime, somewhere. There's going to be some annoying error hitting up the machine every once in a blue moon. But paper has been faithful to me before the day I was born. It's been here for centuries catering world wide to one generation after the next. I've never had problems with it. It's fast easy, convenient and I know AND am for sure that deep in my heart, it's always gonna be there for me. Let's just say (and hope not) my laptop gets some horrific virus. The world shakes and anarchy begins between my frustration and the thing mankind calls "the future"; let's just say this future jewel dies and out of nowhere: the trombones, and horns blow a triumphant sound; paper saves the day. As long as we have trees, we have paper! And with that paper comes along millions of thoughts, dreams, sadness, joy, love and something that can spark the mind all thanks to paper.


Dear ol' paper,

How I love you so. How you've always been faithful to humanity, no matter how much we've mistreated you. When all technology systems fail, you will always be there for the world.

Love,

Penny

    Mmm...indeed business gets in the way entirely too much. Glad you know the importance of relaying your thoughts, though.

    ..and agreed--computer nerd though I am, a lot of times, I'd rather use a sticky note or some notebook paper to write notes or thoughts instead of Microsoft Word or my "Memopad" in my phone.

    Hope all's well.

    Lata..

    I love this Ebony and I agree!
    You're blogs are so much more interesting than mine, but 3 more weeks and it will actually be a blog of my own! (not just for class purposes)

    Love you beautiful,

    Crystal

    Exactly the feel of paper is much better. Personally I love drafting essays on paper then typing them. Using the computer to outline has failed to make me a creative writer. While I blog online, I miss the days of pouring my heart onto a judge-less page. However, by blogging we reach others who cannot be in our rooms looking over our shoulders. That is itself can be a prize and curse.

Pre-Death Experience: My Battle With Sleep Paralysis

Image
It's more than just a delusion. It's more than just a dream. In fact it's reality. My body screams for help but I can't scream out loud. In fact, it feels like someone had just wired my mouth shut, and placed a weight on my chest, hindering my breathing. I feel like I'm suffocating. It progresses. Sleep paralysis was an experience I've had since I was 8 years old. And I've had this for the majority of my life. It always felt like I was clinging on the verge of death. I felt frozen or bound. Lying there. Helpless. That was nothing. Then the hallucinations came. I remember I was sleeping peacefully in my dorm room and I woke up to try turning over to my side. I was lying on my back and realized I couldn't move anything except for my eyes. As I was lying there helpless, I looked to the left on my wall and saw my Bob Marley poster hanging on the wall. Moments later, the poster begin to slowly change shape. It went from just an ordinary poster to a bl

Ronald McDonald's a No-Go?: It's Not a McDonald's Thing It's A Parent's Thing

Image
Since the year of 1963, Ronald McDonald has been serving a magical enterprise to children. And has been marketing to children around the world, to eat happy meals with kid friendly toys, fries, burgers and anything else that was tasty. But many reports have surfaced that more than 500 doctors have placed ads in newspapers discouraging the health side affects of Ronald and his "happy meal". Truth is, the health of American's children is declining. More children are saying "so long" to healthy diet and excercise, and "hello" to psychological, and physical side effects such as: an increased risk, of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, breathing problems and even trouble sleeping (aacap.org/page). But Is just Ronald McDonald alone responsible for this? Absolutely not. In fact the roles that parents, technology and even education systems play are all connected to "eat-for-obesity-marathon-mania". What about iconic figures such as Sant

I Died and My Mom Laughed at My Corpse

Image
 Enter my reality  I know I've been away. And thanks for all of you out there (who actually read my blogs). If you read my previous blogs from the past, you know that I'm absolutely IN LOVE with music. Well I'm the same way about dreams. Dreams influence people. It tells us unconsciously what our waking minds are afraid to tell us. Sometimes dreams can be prophetic and most of the times they're very symbolic. As the rapper Tupac once said: "Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real". He nailed it with that statement. It's so true. It's hits my heart to the very core, because dreams are an extension--- a vision or message that God is trying to tell us about. My phone rang around 3:20 pm and it scared the sh*t out of me. I woke up almost jumping out of my bed. Some dream I had. It was my brother calling to tell me to come pick him up from school. I'm bracing myself as I speak. It was creepy, almost lucid and of course some symbolic state t
