Technologically F'd Up!
Nothing makes me rage more than when something doesn't work properly!
The more expensive the item, the more pissed I get...
Take my Mac laptop for example. Here is a two thousand dollar piece of machinery that I've taken excellent care of. I don't over use it. I only save essential items on the hard drive, everything else is stored on external hard drives. I don't accept cookies or go to questionable websites that may cause damage. I DON'T store internet porn on it...
...and still the damn thing just decides to shut off on me!
I can be in the middle of writing and email or even this blog, and the screen will go black for no reason. Of course when I take it to the Apple store, they can find nothing wrong.
But it doesn't stop there-
Today, I signed on to post this blog, and noticed that my layout is jacked up! Why? No reason.
Everything is set up correctly. The html code looks good and I've reset all of the sidebar activity, and still my blog layout is wrong!
Then there's Facebook- OH GOD! Don't even get me started... Every day there's a new issue with Facebook. Friends disappearing. Post not posting. Pictures that just tag themselves randomly...
It seems like the more time, energy and money you spend on technology, the less you get in return. Case in point:
My laptop has shut down three times during the composition of this blog entry! I'm in full rage mode! It's all I can do not to take this piece of shit computer and throw it from my fourth floor office window!
I can tell today is going to be a challenge! But I'm going to fight like hell not to let a stupid little machine get the best of me!

Really? This Video Explains Everything...
Really?
Because of the amazing accomplishments I achieved in 2010, I thought it would be a great idea to continue to apply myself creatively and set new goals to encourage sustained success in my life and career in 2011.
One of my goals was to upload at least one video blog a month in 2011-
I sat down today, January 31st to tape the first of said video blogs... I think the video I taped says it all... and don't worry- when I went to upload and play it back, I too realized that it recorded sideways! ...I taped it the exact same way I record all of my videos. I tried to flip it, edit it and reedit it, and for some reason it will not play correctly! I raged for over two hours before I decided to "release it" or "let it go" and move on...
Honestly I didn't have the patience to re-shoot...
I think the universe might be trying to tell me something!
I promise I'll do better next time. I mean I'm not an a moron... I know how to record and edit video, I just think this speaks volumes for how 2011 has started off for me. I plan on turning it around and getting back on my "A" game for the remainder of 2011!
