I swear, if I hadn't found the lord a few years ago I'd probably have ruptured a blood vessel somewhere at some time.
I just canNOT get the #$&%&* dvd burner to make a dvd that plays in my player. I *finally* figured out why the software was not working right... It was about a year out of date. After I called tech support, they said update the software (nero) and see what happens. BINGO! I was able to successfully cut/edit/mixdown my performance. It looks good, I saved it to an mpeg file, then using the software burned it to a dvd. Neither mpeg or dvd format disks work on my tv!!
A few years ago I would have gone on a rant through the house while the dog hid under the dining room table. Today, I calmly go to my 'happy place' or go read a book until I can look at my computer without wanting to throw it out the window. The sad part is I'm a trained computer technician.
Meanwhile, in the world of comedy today... I had a few ideas for new bits. I always seem to think up stuff when I'm doing the most basic of things. I was showering today and my mind went off on a tangent about people giving their kids stupid names like Dakota, or Shaquita, or Saliva...
If you're gonna stick a kid with an unusual name, just do like the Indians did (Sorry! Native Americans) and use a descriptive name like "Running Bear" or "Yellow Hand". Say the mother had a very fast labor and squirts a young-un out on the way to the hospital, *VOILA*! He is named "Taxicab Johnson" How about a kid born from a secret affair... "Bastard McGee". The possibilities are endless. Well... not endless, but you get the picture. I'm just so sick of these ridiculous names nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a birth certificate somewhere bearing the name "Click-click pop noise, hand gesture Jackson". I hope the parents are proud of themselves.
C-YA!
