I am I said
I remember listening to this song and album with friends in Junior High School. yeah Neil on getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I have no recollection of why we felt so unimportant at that age? Gosh, if we only new what wanting to scream out in a crowed hall I am ! or feeling not so significant I Said!
Augh teenagers feeling so unnoticed and trying to be so unique – LOL It also is one of the songs I listened to with my friend Amy. It came on the radio on our way home from a college course we were taking at night while in High School. We started talking about how someday we would be famous and everyone would know our name. That we would never be lonely and then we laughed and repeated over and over back and forth to each other
“I said!” -“I am”.
Then again we listened to a lot of songs. The last album we listened to together at her house was Elton Johns Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Then life got in the way and we spent less time together in our senior year.
But here I am sitting thinking about all the things MS has taken, getting frustrated, or just wondering alone.
Of friends present and friends past.
Sometimes life just happens when not sitting at the computer and blogging about it. I have spent the past week playing with the new computer – just not blogging. It is amazing how much smaller screws are and when did wires start having a life of their own? It does not take a lot of brains to figure out the most of the peeps who read this blog are not particularly fond or excited over reading about computers. Unless of course, it is about a computer crash or nifty new computer program. I am going to blog about my computer anyway – just keep in mind that golly gee – it is what I have occupied myself with for five days. Most of us with multiple sclerosis and/or other illnesses are keenly aware that things are usually not as easy to do as they were in the past. I stubbornly refuse to except defeat when it comes to getting tiny little screws into the tiny little holes. This is not always a good thing frustration wise. But I have learned that some projects are going to get done whether it takes one hour or five days. So I decided to clean up the cluster @uck of wires, clean the components, replace the hard drive, and add a photo card reader. I so need to hookup my keyboard and trackball. I am familiar with my keyboard and have mentioned in a prior post how I dislike mice. I think swapping them from one computer to other is next on the list. I also need to install some software still. Where O where did I put all those little product keys – just kidding – I am really good about keeping those little (well ok long) activation codes safe.
When I was a senior in High School our choir was traveling to an event. The bus crashed through a guard rail and then down 30 or so feet landing upside down. The scene was horrific and as news of the accident rippled through our high school the reporters showed up. Most of us did not even understand yet that our friends were dead. It was crazy emotional as news folks tried to interview. A few words were exchanged and if stories are true on kid pushed a camera out of their face. But no one exchanged punches, no one kicked a reporter, and no one got violent.
