This is Entry 171: Computer Problems

Happy Mid-Term Elections everybody! Hope everyone voted because if you didn't vote, you shouldn't be able to complain about what happens as a result. :)

This is just quick post to tell you all about what's happening with the Blog. I've recently been having some problems with my computer. Many thing where tried but in the end it came down to having the hard drive replaced. So, my hard drive was all bright shiny & new! It was no longer cluttered up with all those silly files! wait... that might've been a bad thing & it was, sort of. But before it all went to heck in a hand basket, files from the computer were backed up on 2 external hard drives. So, I didn't think I had lost anything & everything would go back to normal. I was wrong: when thing were reloading my computer not all files were saved. At least not all the files were saved on one of the external hard drives. One of the hard drives is locked & we don't know how to unlock it so my other files might be there & they might not be: I don't know.

So, what does these means for the Blog?

The 20 some odd "Random Photos" & the 70 some odd "Really Cool Old Ads" I had scanned in ready to go were among the items not found. :( So, it will not take me longer to get those up for you to see. You''ll eventually see those things just later then I had hoped.

Until next time I bid thy a Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 53: Getting political!

It's been a month & day since I last updated this here ol' blog but I thought today was important. Today I voted & got a sticker for doing so! :)

Now my process isn't all that great: I don't follow politics all that much. I could could really care less who's doing what at the moment. So, when I'm standing there with a my supplied Bic pen in hand I go for a few things:

- My # 1 is I'll vot for you if I know who you are. If I don't know anyone in the race, I go with a name I like. I know it's stupid but sometimes it's better some other ways of choosing out there.

- I guess 2 is I don't think you screwed up. Now you might have but I don't follow politics & only hear scattered bits of info so unless it's a major screw up: I'll think your doing fine!

- 3 might be I don't find you annoying/your ads' annoying. I purposely voted no on a initiative on something today because I found them annoying so "No Vote for you!"

As for the Big One (President) I was one of those undecided voters. I watched a few of the Debates, heard bits & pieces of speeches & other stuff but I didn't really know who I truly wanted to vote for. But I was slightly leaning towards one candidate then the other. Yes, I knew there were others running but it was truly a two person race: The old white dude versus the young half black dude.

So, now the votes are happening & it wouldn't be another 2 or 3 years until this all starts up again.

Now so of you how might read this my not like my process but hey: I voted so I can now complain all I want if something goes wrong. That's my main thinking: If you don't vote, you can't complain.

Happy Election & Stay Jazzy, Everybody!
