During these trying times and displays of vast technological ownership in the free world I am, but a nomad. A relic of times gone to the past. I am one of the few of the free world populace that was not born with a computer embedded into my ill-equipped poor, socially skilled persona.
The last computer I had I shared with my brother was a Commodore 64. That was when I was six and it was 1985. Now I am 30 and use other peoples computer is almost an unparallelled skill that I wish I had not achieved.
This explains my lack of updates on the many computer based programs that I am on. Blogging quite honestly isn't on the op of my priority list, but since it has been in neglect I felt obliged to pay some attention to it. Even if no one else is. If my subjects appear random on here it is because this is a way I can keep info around whenever and where my next opportunity to get some face time on a computer.
If I have plenty of time and access to a computer I may get a chapter or two in on my novel. If I am at headquarters which happens to be my mom's boyfriend's house I can update my website because that is where all my digital images are and access to Photoshop. Also, that is usually where I will produce my art books and upload on to blurb. If I am at my condo then I have access to my roommate's/ little stepbrother's computer where I can use the Internet for all art research and email checking. I can also update my databases such as Myspace, Facebook, Talentspeaks, this blog, and all things pertaining to my website and print distributor that aren't related to image uploading. Plus, I have a book waiting to be uploaded,but it is on a previous roommate's computer from Savannah, Georgia that now lives in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Still trying to deal with that.
So suffice it to say using other people's computer is a bit of a hassle to say the least. I have however become quite knowledgeable as to the differences to Macs and PCs. I really don't care anymore which I use as long as I can use one of them. Eventually I will own one and the stresses of my life will ease, but until that day comes consider it lucky to receive any sorts of dates on anything because it is all a mission impossible for me to do anything considering the conditions I am subjected to in order to get on this blasted contraption.
I am not opposed to modern convinces it just seems I am meant a life not bound to them although I do appreciate their contributions to my life. I practically run my entire business of the computer. I order and design all my promotional goods of the Internet. I enter all my competitions in art through the inter. I design my art books and sell the on the Internet. I have my website and networking on the Internet. I do a vast majority of my art imagery research on the Internet. I book my travel arrangements on the Internet. Basically, besides painting in my garage all other aspects of my art career are dealt with via the Internet. Or rather, someone else's Internet.
That is kind of the equivalent of being a business that uses someone else store whenever they aren't there. Except that they never know when they get to use it and they don't know for sure the location. Makes things difficult in the grand scheme of things.
In updates of my life now that that rant is done.
