my ineptitude

Sometimes it amazes me how I can be so technologically moronic in this fast-page, electronic obsessed age that I live in. I could try, now, to make a whole long list of things that I am unable to do, but I think it's just easier to say that anything with very straightforward, clickable directions, I can do.
Other than that, it's all a mystery.
If I can't restart, or click, then I'm pretty much done.
That said, I can:
Drive a stick shift
Cook most things (not so good with Risotto)
Read and comprehend lots of science rigamorole
Burp (after drinking Budweiser)

these are all items that i think may be mildly complicated for some people. granted, i can't fly a plane (annie) or build furniture (tamara and many others) or countless other things, but for some strange reason, those holes in my abilities don't bother me as much as some of my technological shortcomings.

think i'm going to have to put this to bed for the night. still have to take a shower and get organized for the morning. tomorrow is our first game of the season, and we looked pretty bad in scrimmage last week
uh oh.
so annie, i guess that's my response to your comment: we kind of bit it.

ps- Red Hook was on the front page of the Easter Sunday New York Times April 16th, 2006! Queen Mary II was docked down on Pier 12 on Saturday the 15th, and there were tons of people, passengers, photographers, and cops around. Of course my father wanted to know why the cops weren't in "my neighborhood" I told him it was my neighborhood. I think he wants them to have a constant beat/patrol on my corner to prevent me from meeting my grisly demise.
he says "I don't know karate, but I know ca-razy!"

Alyse, don't know exactly how I came across this, but I'm glad I did. I hope to read more here penned (keyed?) by you. Your writing does not live in that place where your (perceived) ineptitude's do. Keep writing.
