Technology frustrates me

I was just logging in to write a blog and trying to figure out what I wanted to talk about besides the fact that it's been too damned long, when I was notified that I had to change my Google account because the one I was using was owned by WVSU.  Apparently I'm not the only one with access to my private emails.  This is what I get for not reading the fine print of privacy policies.

Now, I did decide to use my school email address when I signed up for Blogger because my old email address is mostly spam and I hardly use it.  I have others but I'm not really one who cares to keep up with several different accounts.  I have enough to do, really.  And I do still like to have a life.  This is why I cancelled my Myspace, and now everyone is moving along to other social networking bit by bit.  Well, I'm not a social media gypsy, people.  So I figured, I use this email the most and check it regularly, why not keep this simple. 

Well that's what I get for not knowing what I'm doing.  I don't know how exactly the split happened when I was forced to change it, but I did just notice that the blogs I've been following are not there.  I'm sure there are other unpleasant surprises lurking somewhere.  I'll bet it changed my YouTube too.  Grrrr.

Explain it if you want, friend.  You know who you are.  No need to.  I truly don't care.

Except that it pisses me off.

Other things with technology make me angry too.  It's all related to how little I know, but hear me out.  Yes, I admit it's my own fucking fault.  I'm still not going to learn it and I'm going to keep complaining about it.  What are you going to do about it?

That's what I thought.

Now I just got Spotify because I don't have any music on this computer and, again, I know nothing.  Not saying anything bad.  I'm liking it for now.  I got a Dave song first, so I'm good.  And then I just realized I can still get that Pandora radio station.

You know what else?  My favorite technology is truly still fire, paper, the printing press, inkpens, music, medicine, the fermenting process, and some video games.  And HVAC.  So I'm a diva.

A diva who is going to go do what my friend Roger suggested when I told him I really want to clean up a bit, lie on the couch and eat and watch Cheers.  He told me to lie lengthwise with my feet up, no pants on, with a bag of Doritos.  Yes.  I only have 1/4 Doritos in the Munchies, but it'll do.

I said I feel like I have to produce.  I don't have to, but I hope this has been somewhat entertaining.

The rest of this was going to be complaining about how little I know of video and audio technology, but I figure I've been learning enough shit to say I'm just getting pissed and learning more.

End rant :) with <3
