SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE COMPUTER

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to add music to my blog...to the point of utter frustration. I downloaded the program, embedded it into my blog and it still wouldn't play! No matter what I did, I could not get it to work.

In all modesty, I think of myself as a relatively intelligent person and have an adverse reaction to when a machine (no matter what the machine) crosses me and tries to prove that it is more intelligent than I am. I have learned over the years of working on a computer, that the primal and first urge to toss the damn thing out the nearest window is not the answer.

Computers are too expensive...I mean it is not like a bag of potato chips that won't open no matter what you do short of cutting the bag. If you get frustrated with the chip bag and toss it across the room the only damage done is broken chips and maybe a grease spot where the bag landed on the wall.

So you take a deep breath, walk away from the compuer, come back, and try again. As you sit in front of the screen, you keep reminding yourself that YOU are the superior being in this situation and that you are above letting a machine wear you down. Then you cross your fingers and begin again. After you have followed all the directions and hit the enter key, you look between sprayed fingers covering your eyes and hope for the best.

With baited breath, doubt in your heart, and a prayer on your lips, you look. Then it comes! VICTORY!! You have proven once again that you ARE superior to any machine, especially your computer. So computer, while you are my buddy, I am the queen here. So remember that the next time you try to out maneuver me!

Be sure to check our the jukebox section of my blog. Th songs will change daily. If you have a request, let me know and I will try to get it on the jukebox.
