Keyboards

Okay, I am not all that technically knowledgeable, I don't keep up to date on all the latest gadgets and such.  Only what I hear my friends talk about of if I hear of something in passing that sounds interesting to me.  But hasn't anyone thought of making a multi lingual keyboard?  I was looking around on-line but so far... to no avail.  Just bilingual.  I mean am I really going to have to have 3 keyboards if I want to be able to type in Chinese, Japanese and Korean? X_x

Everything Burns

Everything Burns - Ben Moody ft. Anastacia

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself,
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages,
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns

Ooh, oh

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
Burn it all down
As my anger reigns

'Till everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
(All fade away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams..
(Watching it all fade away)
Oooh, ooh..
(While everyone screams)
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this hate)
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
(Oooh, ooh)
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away... 

I feel strange listening to this song, especially paying attention to the words.  I think it is a wonderful song and it strikes deep into my soul.  I guess because I feel like I am burning all that pain and anger that I have inside me.  I want to burn it all to the ground and start over, with a new life.  I will break free from the chains that bind me and my spirit will arise, free, at peace and happy.  I will shed the old life and only keep it as a distant memory.

I will move on.  I promise myself.

Piiiieeee

I have this horrible craving for cherry pie. I think they sell some at one of the bigger grocery stores in town, in the center, but I don't want to drag my butt all the way to the center, just for cherry pie that I don't need in the first place.

X_x I'm almost dreaming of cherry pie.

What is it with Age?

Something I have noticed most of my life but I seem to notice even more as I get older is...

1. People saying someone is "too old" for something.
2. Just because you are a certain age, all of a sudden you become some foreign alien that younger people can't seem/don't want to relate to.

Whose right is it to say that I or anyone else for that matter is "too old" to be doing something? Okay I can think of some extremes, like you suck your thumb and you are 30 or use a bottle or something like that. But then again, it's their choice right, even if it might seem a little weird.

Some people think it is strange that I run around on a 3D chat program playing and having a good time. Or that I still like to watch cartoons or wear certain kinds of clothing. Or the fact that I still love to run outside and play in the snow/rain. Who says just because I am 30-40-50-100 that I can't do those things? I am overall the person I was 10 years ago when all those things were still considered normal. Now I'm getting too old for them? What the.... is up with that?

I also don't understand this mentality that just because you are a certain age, married or even have kids that your life should be so drastically different for someone younger, single, etc. Yes there are differences but I can find huge differences between two people of the same age even.

I go to penpal sites and see so many people saying that they only want to write to people around their age, young and old alike, though it seems a little more commonly mentioned by younger ones. I was 15 when I started penpaling and I wrote to everyone of every age, still do. I never based anything in friendship on a persons age but simply on how we got along and if I felt they were a decent person. Why should it matter if someone is 1 year or 10 years older than you?

Now I do understand with some kids who are under age. Maybe their parents don't want them talking to people much older than they are and some people will bring up predators on the internet. So I can understand some what being cautious with kids. I will not initiate writing to someone under 18. If they write me first, then I will gladly write back.

I bet if you took my list of interests and compared it with a list of interests of someone half my age, there would still be a lot in common. The differences of interest wouldn't be because of age so much as because every human being is different, with different tastes.

Now days I write someone 10 years younger than me and they are talking about "Oh you are so much older than me but you still seem interesting." Waaaaa? Just because I am 30, I shouldn't be interesting anymore or have anything in common with you? O_o

I just don't get it. >_
