Blogging

I never pictured myself not knowing what I am doing when it comes to the internet. I have found, though, that if you are away for more than two weeks, everything changes. I was never really the chat type.... not after 1996 anyway. I spent an entire semester in college in the computer lab during the day and up all night doing homework that I would have otherwise finished in the classroom. Of course, chatting was still fairly new at the time, and it was so intriguing that I could have friends in almost any country in the world. Now blogs are the in thing, and here I sit, way behind..... it's funny. I don't even know if, when, or how a person comes to read anothers' blog. I just keep sending stuff out, waiting to see if anyone has anything to say. So far, nothing. My friends are all on face book, but of course, that is becoming dangerous to computer information just like the rest of the viral internet.
I have no internet service in my home. So I only check in once or twice a week. I couldn't get my mobile blog activated, I keep getting the same "unrecognized" message. I checked the help area, but lol, it was of no real help. It basically said that it was possible that I would receive a text message as unrecognized and they are looking into it. So, for the meantime, I will be in and out, here and there, in between writing a book, and caring for a teenage son. If you take the time to read this, thank you. If you have any ideas on what to blog about, let me know. I enjoy writing and corresponding with others. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, comes of this.

Technology

So, this is it? Just start typing and anyone who searches the right combination of words may end up here?
 cool.... I guess. Hope I can get the mobile issue worked out soon. My computer is on the fritz again and I am counting on my phone!!! There's an interesting thought. Try to go 24 hours without a cell phone at all. Then, tell me did it make you feel naked, or like you were missing out on something somehow? I am interested if anyone else shares my feelings about the way computers and technology have actually complicated things rather than making them easier.....
