Life is Truly Interesting...

Life is truly interesting...what is of interest to some, bores the heck out of others. I visited a few blog web-sites today just to see what the perspective's is out there in cyberspace, and it just amazes me just how different so many of us can be, and yet how similar in our views. Can any of us agree on any one thing at all? This is a hard question to answer.

Everyone has a view point, and there are many with advise to give. I think this is great. I myself being new to this world of growing innovation... and all computers in general, well it just boggles the mind. Especially, mine. I am not ashamed to say I am a newbie to this world of computers, blogging, and twittering. Ah, twittering...something I don't care to do at this present time. I am trying to learn all this techno-mess as quickly as my mind can absorbs it, but just as soon as I grasp it, it's on to the next innovating movement...and, I get lost in the shuffle. Hence, my user name.

Both of my children, are young adults, now and have left the nest. I was a very firm single mom. I took nothing when it came to raising my two. I thought of their needs and how I wanted them to be productive people in our very strained society today. Raising children is a tough job in it's self, let alone in today's times for any parents; harder on single parents. My heart goes out to all parents raising children today. It's a struggle to stay sane with the way some children are reared with no parental structure or guidance. What to do, what to do?

My biggest struggle right now, is me. Learning this computer age garble... when I should have been on board a long time ago. Not a good choice on my part. My fault, no excuses. I was a stubborn fool who thought people would still like to socialize and interact with one another on a person to person level. What was I thinking? Little did I dare to know how times would change.... people rather be in cyberspace than interacting with any "real live" people...folks, if your from the south... I find myself, more and more in front of the boob tube when I get home from work, and enjoying it, along with my two cats, instead of human interaction. I find this all to true and sad at the same time. I take a sip of my newest drink preference, Snapple, instead of Pepsi...just to cut down on my intake of processed sugar, and it's click on the remote, and on to another channel to see what's happening in the world of Entertainment Tonight.

Long gone are the days when people in the neighborhoods hung out on their stoops, in front of their homes or buildings while the children played outdoors. My two children played outdoors until night time fell, then, I had to drag them in for their baths and get them ready for bedtime. There favorite games back than were "kick the can" and "stick ball"...I laugh now, when I think about my two and the kids in the neighborhood playing these games; games I use to play as a child growing up on the city streets. I love the fact of knowing I taught them how to play these game. My two children, now young adults, still talk about those times to their friends today; about the fun they had as a child playing outdoors with their friends and, as my son would say to discribe it to his friends... "good times". And, it makes me happy to know they did in fact enjoy their childhood and growing up, inspite of "mean ole' mom".

Now, back to my reality...the all knowing "how to learn this mess". I will be seeking out any and all advise, comments, and or information on how to become a better computer geek...I really want to learn design, it intrigues me so...I really enjoy U-Tube, and always ask the question.. "how did they do that...or this"? I am so easily amazed by all this techno stuff. I am on my own here. My daughter and son are way.... to busy with their young lives. Young people.... gosh darn it!! Really, I am happy they are enjoying their moments in time. No need for them to worry about mom...I will one way or another figure these thingies...out. I know my cats are on my side, too. Thanks...kiddie cats... This is my take on thingies...and it's a public's view.
