32- Death of my Digital Friend

Dear Computer,

I know your watching from up above. I know that your hard drive has ascended to the fluffy clouds of 1's and 0's. Even now you're probably playing your MIDI. I know you'll be watching over me through that celestial webcam guiding my every step further into the technological world. I'm going to miss you helping me with my homework every evening. You made me see life in a new way, through a 1068 dpi screen. You saved my spelling disasters and my flawed writing techniques although your glitches were often wrong in my eyes. We wasted time together on YouTube and MySpace. Oh, the good times that were saved to the back up disk. I do, however, remember the times that you slowed down to an aching halt. I waited for you until errors popped up and finally you would shut down. These events should have been clearer to me that you would soon be pushing up the CDs. Even after your blue screen death, I didn't believe it. You will be missed.

Your faithful User,
Andrew

P.S. I wonder when Fry's next sale is going to be.

31- When Now is the Past

I see my generation as hard to condense. To put it into two or three words for future history books seems like a difficult challenge. But this time period is also very easy to summarize. I have mixed feelings but If I were to say it in just one word it would be self-absorption.
What I mean by this could also worded like this: post-modern world. People say that there are truths for everyone. Whatever a person feels like becomes their truth and they abide by their rules only. This gives the person "right" to do what they want and get what they want. Is this a new phenomenon? Nope. Judges 21:25 says, "Every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
How does this sound for a legacy? Once again the bible has it right!

30- The Best is Yet To Come!

As I sit down to reflect on my past experiences, I have come up with bits and pieces of many different years. I suppose that for some people one big event like a perfect birthday or the year of their first car would make that whole year good.

I suppose that I'm looking forward to my best year. A year that is wholly perfect. A year without blemish. A year in heaven with me and my Savior. Yes I'm looking forward to the greatest year that would truely surpass any year down here on earth.

29- The Trouble With That...

In a grocery store, it is an understood rule that people must not tamper with objects in the store unless they are going to buy them. Children have a problem keeping to themselves so it is likely that those with children might run in to this problem and be asked to leave. Well its not always the young ones.

Well on this certain occasion I was minding my own business when, "WHAP," I was hit on the head. I reached up to find to my horror I was bleeding. With a reasuring taste I was relieved to find out that someone had only hit my head with an egg. "Who would do this?" I wondered. "What have I done that someone would want to throw an egg at my head?" As I was about to turn around I felt a cold chill dripping down my back. It almost felt like chocolate syrup. So I turned around to find an elderly lady yelling some man's name and telling him how rude he was last night. Behind her wrinkles came the foremost sign of embarrassment as her face turned beat red. Noticing that she had mistook me for someone else and not knowing exactly what to do, she dropped her bag of produce to splat on my feet and took off. Then comes the store manager with rage burst out like an evil ora. With no one around and no time or need to dig deeper into this case he rapidly ushered me out, warning me to never come back.

I deeply regret the poor old lady's mistake, however, I do suppose that this is a blessing in disguise because the grocery store just down that other road had much better prices!
