Mom and Technology don't mix well...... T_T

Before I go on a tantrum about my mother, let me just say that I love her dearly and I would not replace her for anything; but technology and her do not mix well.  Its like trying to mix oil and water together, hoping for that mixture to dissolve in one fix but it never works out.  I can say at of today I have done this for her:

 - Hooked her surround system up.  She doesn't know how to hook "this wire" to "this speaker".  Then she complains about why I am using the RGB cords than the standard RYW cords, everything is too complicated.

 - Installed her computer and printer NUMEROUS times including reformatting the damn thing because of a nasty worm she got.

 - Installing her printer, which was wireless, then got into an argument because she feels that because its wireless that I shouldn't have to hook the printer up to the computer..

I'm SO tempted to create an invoice and give it to her in a nicely concealed envelope, but then I believe that will make things worse.

Life

I'm sitting here thinking about life & how crazy it is at times.  Here we sit with this breathe of life we were given to us and its amazes me how sometimes it can be taken from us so quickly.  Today my friend lost 2 relatives in ONE WEEK!  Can you believe that?  But its all in "God's plan", that what some people say, but does it make it fair?  No matter how much we know that they are in a better place where there's no sorrow, no pain, no heartaches, it still painful to let someone go who is close to you.

On December 14, 2006 I lost the most precious thing to me in this world, and that was my grandfather.  Hell I wouldn't even call him my grandfather because he was not a grandfather to me, but more of my own father.  I never had the pleasure of growing up with a father in my life except for Mr. Rudolph Sutton, Jr. I never thought of losing him so soon, especially when I was just over his house hooking up his surround system ( funny story because he hooked it up backwards ^__^ and was confused when I got it back up and running, he was proud that it worked).  My world just shut down, and I didn't know what else to do.  But death is inevitable; there is no way to stop or delay the inevitable.

So for those who has a parent, sibling friend, significant other, boy/girlfriend dealing with a passing in their lives; do what you can to support them.  There is nothing wrong with showing your full support in their time of need.  Because death is felt no matter how close or how far apart they may be.

Tree Drama

I can recall the days of my youthful frame; skinny, wild, able to do anything from backflipping off the porch to jumping off the roof of my Grandfather garage.  And today was one of those day in which I missed those days.

Ok here is the scenario:  Got a new airplane today and was enjoying my new little toy.  Plane gets stuck in the tree (and not in the middle part where I can use a broom to get it down, but high part of the tree).  So I am looking at the two trees that are almost connecting together, thinking to myself "I should be able to do this!" (and you KNOW this is a bad ideal because this is about 15 years later since I have climbed a tree).  So I climed up this huge branch of the tree and my footing slipped and I paid the price for trying to climb a tree (not to mention my pride....).

So what can I say, today was those days.....

P.S. Scratches burn like hell!
