The End Of The World Has Come And Gone

Here’s what I don’t understand about all this end of the world stuff. People were giving their money away. I read that some people were even sending Harold Camping money. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a good life for him.
Lets look at this logically. The end of the world is coming. If you really believe this, why would you give your money away? No matter who you gave it to, they’re not going to be able to spend it cause it’s the end of the world. Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep it in case it don’t come.

Learning To Type

Learning To Type

About ten years ago, when I got my first computer, I had no idea how to type. I figured since I was going to be at the computer I would have a lot more fun if it didn’t take me fifteen minutes to type one sentence. I didn’t want to use the “hunt and peck” method. Just using the index fingers and pecking away.
My friend had a CDR that taught  you how to type. It gave exercises, and you did the same thing over and over. I thought this was really boring. If I was going to learn to type, I wanted to learn while I was doing stuff on the computer. I didn’t want to do exercises for hours.
This lead me to the picture above. This is the original thing, it’s 10 years old. I drew out the keyboard (or most of it), black for the left hand and red for the right. Numbered the fingers and  leaned  it up by the monitor. I would look at the picture then the keyboard while I typed. After awhile I got the hang of it. If somebody asks me where a letter is on the keyboard, I can’t tell them, but when I’m typing my fingers go there. I got to the point where I can type without looking at the keyboard. For me, this was the best way to learn to type.

“It’s Been Real”

What does that mean? Your talking to somebody for awhile, then they say, “It’s been real,” and they leave. Not, ‘nice talking to you,” “see you later,” they say, “it’s been real.” I just look at them and say “yea.”
How do they know if it’s been real. Maybe he’s talking to somebody who is not telling him the whole truth. Then he say’s “it’s been real,”  and the guy is thinking, sucker.
I know people that love to talk. You can’t ask them “how you doing” cause they’ll give you a twenty minute answer. The same person that gives the twenty minute answer to “how are you doing” will come over to me at work and talk to me when I’m really busy. I won’t pay any attention to him and he’ll just keep on talking. Don’t some people take a hint. If I’m not answering your question, it’s means I’m not listening to you.
