Well, with the return of my internetability (I am connected again) I have also returned to the world of stress and headaches. My Yahoo modem came today but when I tried to set it up, I find that my computer can't find it's new ethernet card. I was erasing and reinstalling it for most of the night until by magic, and a little tweaking of the Windows registry (which scares the bejeeziz out of me that I may render my computer unusable) I was able to get it started... it wasn't until after 3 hours of swearing and smashing my lap-top with whisky bottle. I am certain that computers are the work of the devil. What I can't figure out though, is with sooo many brilliant people working at microsoft and other software companies, why can't they make something that works like its supposed to, without the user jumping through all kinds of hoops? Sure my own programs may not be most usable at times, but I am one man with 2 years experience... if I had a team of geeks, my programs would be able to do everything but poop and pee for you.

What really made me upset, was that I was planning to work with on my new discovery, the color wheel. Why did not one ever tell me about such a wonderful thing? All of a sudden I see what was wrong with some of my painting that just didn't seem right. All of a sudden when I look at someone else painting (or even a photograph or the world for that matter) I notice what makes some things attractive, and Japanese signs uglier than my butt crack on a bad day. I hope that some day soon I can show you a nice painting.

I have promised Jon his very own Blog as an extension of my site. Now that I am connected, I set the deadline to get this accomplished as next Tuesday... if I am not done by then... well, I'll let Jon decide .

It's not 11:30 and I have some colors to play with...
