Long lost blogger

I know, I know, everyone can sigh a breath of relief...I am finally writing another blog. It's been a while and I feel like I'm in the stone ages again. It's hard to remember a time without the internet and email. It's crazy! Now that I don't have easy access to it, I definitely crave it. I think I'm going through withdrawal. It all started when I had to go from fast easy internet service at work to dial up at home. As if that weren't bad enough, I had to cancel at home and the place I'm working now has computers from the 1980's. No joke! Complete with the green screens. If you tried to connect them to the web in any way, they would internally combust! So, I have to settle for my short bouts here and there at the library and friends' places. This is how bad it's gotten...the other day I had to wait in line for access. I sat, impatiently, waiting for the next computer to free up. I understandibly got perterbed at the 8 year old playing games on the McDonald's website. Come on! I have emails to read! Let's move it! But you know it's bad and you really need help when you scowl at the middle schooler on a wetlands website doing research for school. Screw the wetlands! I need to check my email! Okay, it wasn't that bad, but I was very happy when the middle schooler left. I hope she gets a good grade on that paper. But what the heck!? Why doesn't she have internet at home like every other child in the USA?!

I'm having computer issues too... I still have the internet, but my computer is being attacked by my network! Viruses everywhere! It's horrible!

I should call you soon. I will. Probably a lot sooner than you'll see this note, lol.

hahaha great blog... its sad that you are left desparately wandering about seeking any free handout of fast internet access you can get. HAHAHA your like an internet bum. sitting on a street corner with a sign saying 'will work for internet access'. the modern day cultural outcast.

i think you should write a short story about it. then publish it online. hahaha that would be great - though you might have to ask someone else to publish it for you. ;)
