Speech Recognition

Right now I am using speech recognition and it really works well on Internet explorer. Otherwise, it kind of sucks. For example, when I tried to use it on Safari it didn't work at spell I suppose you could say that is faster except the computer makes a lot of mistakes. You really have to know what you are talking about, which I don't. Ah, it just took me 5 minutes to spell "about". And now it is taking me 10 minutes to write this entire post. Oh, joy. I am so tired. I think I will stop now.

Ah, seriously, that took FOREVER. O_o

I'm still getting used to the whole "microphone" thing, and this thing is like totally a stranger to me. Gotta do more of that training thing...

Well it kind of sucks that I can't use Safari with it. My IE always lags...

A Day in Events #5

Ah....it's a Sunday. Yay. Too bad I got interrupted in my beauty sleep. My dad woke me up to ask if I knew where the gel pack was. Dazed, I responded, "Gel Pack?" He left me, in my misery, to face the dark world. I had lots of things to do today.

Dentist appointment. Stupid dentists. I had to reschedule this one, because we didn't get the notifications for the last one. {Our home phone was broken, remember?} Their latex gloves freak me out. I think some of them get to lazy to change them. {shudder*}

Flute class. I was late, {yet again} because in the first place I had to have lunch late, and before that I had come back from the dentist late, because before that my dad wanted to go grocery shopping, but prior to that I was woken up late, when my dad asked for the gel pack. It's a circle. Cycle. Whatever.

{sigh..*} So much stuff. STUFF! stuffstuffstuff. Yes, I SO just said that. What are you gonna do now, tape my fingers?

Ralph kinda passed out today. Too tired. We all need healthy caffine pills.

-blink-

My eyes, are dying. Yea, you dont get much sleep after a Thanksgiving party. Seriously. I had a MT meeting today, and i had to wake up early. [yawn*] Ralph has been complaining today, about how i didnt look well. He didnt look well either, with all that going on while we were at the party last night. Well anyways, i dont get how people manage to wake up early for those early-bird specials at electronic stores. Take my dad for example. He woke up early and bought an on-sale notebook, that my friend is currently playing with right now. You know, people like us, with sleeping problems, must be difficult to deal with. I mean, we stay up all night, and yet we act upon others with our half-awake attitudes. It can tick people off, for being so ignorant like that, moody for no apparent reason. Is coffee that evil? No, i dont think so. Same with people who take sleeping pills. I think those dont work very well after the night. Im sure different people have different problems that causes late sleep - there's the lateness of dinner, absence of dinner, things to do before sleep, nothing to do before sleep and leading to straying around the house killing time, uncomfortable temperature, being oversensitive to the noises outside the window and/or to the lights outside your room, forgetting to do so many things after getting into bed then getting out and killing time, or having too much to think about on your mind. Whatever the reason, sleep is essential to our health, and no i am not trying to sound like some snotty doctor. Its just from personal experience, that i realize lack of sleep is bad. Like i said earlier, this kind of stuff can get into cycles, and can be very hard to break. GET YOUR SLEEP!! ITS FREE AND EFFORTLESS! Available at anytime, anywhere, anyhow. Just remember to brush your teeth before, and try not to kill your alarm clock, please.

...And Where Does The Time Go?

I find myself often having trouble, trying to complete the things I have wanted to do that day. And the thing acting against me? I really don't know. But, i do know that it's somewhere between my lack of time management, getting off track, and not being aware of time as it passes by. I mean, authors and poets and a bunch of other people are always writing about how time flies by, and how you're supposed to manage your time wisely. I've read countless poems, books, and related all talking about time, and how it "passes you by.." I also read this book called The New Policeman, that talks about time and how it was leaking everywhere. Yea, it was a good book. Now, that does sound pretty poetic and cool, but it doesnt really help much. I mean, how are you supposed to manage your time when the wall might as well be absorbing it without you noticing? Or when there is a joker behind your back, quieting changing the clock? However your time goes, it's always unable to gain back. And that's the part i dont get. WHY does it go away and never come back? Is it because we dont deserve to have it back again? Is it because we wont appreciate it even IF it was gained back? Or is it because it doesnt REALLY matter that much, but we just think it does? Or is way more important than we think it to be? [sigh...*] Well, sometimes, i would be doing homework on a weeknight, and SUDDENLY, it would be time to sleep. So, i hurry to squeeze in a shower, but by then my parents would be already snoozing, and i'd quietly go to sleep, vowing that i'll go to sleep earlier the next night. Then in the morning, i'd wake up, and school would be close to starting. My dad and i get caught in the morning rush, and id be late to school, again. It's like a chain, and it always never seems to stop. Im really worried, and i think i should do something about it, NOW. But what? [sigh...*] These days i try hard to go to bed early. The main thing is to go slow: never sleep later than the previous night, and i will have likely sucess. However, if you do happen to sleep later than the night before, then you will probably create a chain, and sleep later and later and later until... you sleep so less you get the bags under your eyes, like the ones i have now. No, it's not a good thing, but it can be prevented. I really need to increase my morale, and be motivated. Eh, enough of my blabbering. I'm sure Ralph is very bored of this. If you have any suggestions as to my time/sleep problem feel free to comment. Or if you want to say anything about the absorbing wall thing. :)
