Welcome to the Arid Zone - it's been a long, strange trip.

Okay so now that I have a writer's workshop I need something that I can actually use to write with.

A pencil?? Right....Not. A pen? To blotty.

How about a manual typewriter? Very classy but still hard. (I started writing on a manual.)

A six year old computer that is louder then my car?? Well that is what I use now.

How about a 3 gig P4 computer with a 1 gig of memory, a ATI radeon 9600 video card w/ 256 megs of ram, a big hard drive, and kick butt mother board?

Yes. Sounds like a good accessory to go with my new fifth wheel.

Oh and a cool case that has seven fans and a wicked cool window w/ a dvd burner and a dvd player.

Sound like a dream? Nah I've been collecting the parts for awhile now.

The last 3 parts are coming in the mail next week. I am so excited!

I want to get a better video card and monitor later this year; but this rig will beat anything I've owned in my adult life.

Computer wise that is.

I want to get a 19 inch flat screen monitor to finish this package out; I might be able to get that next month.

Cool eh??

God is good, not just for getting me these 'things,' but for just being there when all my money I had went to support my extended family.

It feels weird to have extra money to buy stuff with heh :-D
