I'm looking at swords. Not sure why, really.

Nine hundred dollars, (I know, only?) gets you the worlds cleanest keyboard.  Great for popular coffee shops I guess, or ultra clean electronic rooms (chip makers).  But $900?  I'd be okay with just running it through the dishwasher at the end of the day.  Yes you can do that, no soap though.

This year, Sesame Street turns 40. I have been watching this children's TV show called Sesame Street when I was seven. Maybe they want to put a timeline of Sesame Street. Also, the Amazon Conduit on Vox has been fixed, so I will be buying my own domain blog without having to surf the internet again. The use of cursing, that's not good, you can view this.

On this Vox post, three Little Einsteins pack kicks in:

And before I begin let me qualify my thoughts as I am a Cancerian and emotionally-driven person who cries when she's happy, cries when she's said and many times feels first and thinks second.

Don't make sensitivity a weapon.

I'm all for explaining to people that you may potentially be thin-skinned and making requests to consider your heart before entering into a potentially combustible dialogue. At all times we should take into consideration how our thoughts and expressions of them may make others feel. A defensive maneuver will almost always beget a defensive maneuver. It's the fundamental rule to conflict. You hit me, it hurts. I hit back, you hurt and the dance escalates until two people are saying or doing regrettable things. Rather than using your sensitivity as a license to kill, use it as a means to find more productive ways to speak with love. Rather than letting your sensitivity give you an unrealistic sense of entitlement and petulant expectation, try and commit to the notion that it always takes two parties to create a disagreeable relationship conflict. You are hurt...in some ways big or small, they are likely hurting, too.

Don't make sensitivity a wall to constructive criticism.

There comes a time in every adult's life when you have to suck it up and face tough talk. Especially when the tough talk potentially saves you from a choice, an action or measure that could have long-term or especially painful consequences. While I am sensitive, I expect and almost demand that the people I love, give it to me straight, particularly when I screw something up. Because I am human. I am going to do that. And yes, you can give straight talk without pulling out the clubs and knives. So keep in mind that sometimes when people speak sternly to you, it is more important to identify the value in their statement...especially when you know behind the annoyance that statement is coming from a place of love. It's nice to hear only about the wonderful things we do; but it's better to hear about the ways we can grow and elevate to keep amazing ourselves and others. Never use your 'sensitivity' as a means to avoid owning your stuff.

And you know how I feel about owning your stuff. 

Uhwhat

Ive come to the conclusion that, for the time being, im not going to be using facebook or myspace for awhile.

I dont know why but I find myself really depressed, when I go to either or, just seeing people go to school and hearing them talk about things their doing in their lives.

Its just a lot for me to take.

For that reason im not going to be using either sites for whatever amount of time I need.

Its not that I dont feel happy for my friends, I just need to focus on me and my future and not so much as what I can do in comparison to them and what they are doing.

Im going to continue to update this, and my twitter, which can also be seen on facebook.
