As High as a Kite <>S

What to say about today.. as I take a deep breath and prepare myself to reflect, there is a calm stream that flows through my mind. I made a conscious decision today not to let a fncking catastrophe take away my good hard-earned energy! Follamenow!

Check it, I enjoyed a nice cup of water (with ice, chilled...ah yeeah) in a rather large blue container. Cluttered at the desk, I knocked over the frozen flood upon my lovely MacBook Pro. Dismayed as I was I looked not back in time where the dumbass who knocked over my cup sat playing video games, no! No, I rather chose to use my mind, the power of my brain, heart, breath, sight, sound and overall sensation that I call being.

Something changed. I thought, intuitively, critically, and found a solution realized by my only computer, which is my laptop, to be lost with a new replacement that goes for $2000 should an answer not appear before this problem.

First thought, think of options.

A. Can I fix the problem.
Popped off the keys, patted the tray down. Hopefully when the computer turns back on everything will be ok. No. Keyboard is glitchy.

B. Buy a new laptop.
I could juggle some cash but that would be betting on money I don't have. Plus, I'd rather not discard the computer completely because apparently all works fine outside of the now defunct
keyboard.

C. Purchase an external keyboard.
Bought a Microsoft Deluxe Ergonomic USB Keyboard for $49.99 (still less than an Apple USB Keyboard...whyIoughtta!!).

D. Check available financing options in purchasing a new Apple MacBook Pro.
The original in discussion is a 2007 15" MacBook Pro. Weighing pros and cons brought me to this...

It is better to find a way to work with what already exists. Should I hurry to buy the future then I am sure to waste. A cheaper investment would be the Microsoft Keyboard over a new laptop. If I have a choice, then I should consider 'all' available options so as to maximize the usage and availability of resources (namely all of the components that go into producing, packaging, and delivering a new laptop; aluminum, silicon, glass, carbon, etc.).

In some small way I feel like I actually did my part today. No one forced me. It was a natural feeling that I can honestly say I hadn't considered before. My computer still functions as I type on my now comfortable ergonomic keyboard :) ...and smile.

Good night ~~,
