Description

More Computer Woes So it was just A couple of weeks ago That I couldn't connect To the internet I got it fixed And I felt so much better But I should've knows It was too good to last Now what you ask Well I'll tell you Of course I'll tell you Otherwise I wouldn't have a poem So I'm at my friend's Doing some work for her Helping her out And once more I have connectivity issues I can't connect to Her wireless system And that means I can't get to ALL my stuff On my laptop My fotos my poem my art My whole LIFE So now what I say to myself What will I do I'm lost adrift Floundering in this sea Of unconnectiveness Swimming against the tide Of wireless madness So I cope by Doing some very Strange things Using old fotos And having nothing Here except my words I hope it's true Words speak loudly All by themselves Because for a while They are all alone All by themselves Treat them kindly 2/18/08 A footnote here~~~~I'm BACK ~~finally got connected so there are a foto and thumb with this poem. This is also the one I tried to upload for 2 days and kept getting the odd message. Let's hope it goes this time!! I've had enough computer stuff to last me for a VERY long time!!

Ah, the joys of the 21st century! This piece has straightforward grace and it captures that species of frustration that we all probably know a lot better than we'd like to admit. Wireless Madness...I like that phrase, the repeated sounds. I got a good giggle out of that, but it was one of those "oh my god" giggles that you do whenever someone else goes through something you went through... Needless to say, this is a fantastic bit of writing and imagery.

Computers solves Problems you wouldn't have without them.... Cheer up! Things will go on. The next problem still stay around the next corner...:-) But hey, that's life. Thats the fun of life. Without problems life would be so boring, right!? Frank

So glad to hear it's fixed, I would be lost without mine, if I had any hair I would be ripping it out. I do have other things to fall back on but, my computer comes first. Lovely words once again Marilyn, they really put across your frustrations of unconnectiveness. Bravo!!!!!

Glad to see you are back and up and running again, Marilyn. Once we get connected to the world, it becomes a constant part of our lives...and when we can't get connected, it's...@$%&$!

I can't help but chuckle because I know how you felt. I have been in a dilemma about which broadband to go to, the slower DSL that stay connected in a power outage versus the faster cable, which is non-functional in a power outage. I'm glad you managed to get back online. Your image is great! It reminds me of those arcade fortune teller machines, except the figure is the computer with the crystal ball inside the monitor. Computers and fortune telling machines seems an interesting comparison. LOL

Shakespeare said it best: tis not better to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous computer woes, thereby depriving my Renderosity friends of lovely pictures. Anyway, glad you're back online with words of wisdom along with a grand depiction of a ghost computer.

Aaaah, we're so blessed with our toys, are we not? But hey, what's in your head, your beautiful words, your honest stories are what matters, the rest is just medium. Be it scribblings on the back of an enveloppe, the harsh inprints of the good old typewriter, or now our IT-WWW environment. And us writers will ALWAYS get the word out, even if we have to scream it from the top of a building.

I can't imagine life any more without my PC. reaches over to pat the CPU It's my link to so many things, so many people. Without my PC, my Renderosity friends would be inaccessible, and that's just unimaginable, unacceptable, inconceivable! ("I do not think that word means what you think that word means!") Awesome poem, tapping into our deepest fears. :)
