Electronics complicate my life

I wanted to comment of Facebook about this, but I feel like anything I post will somehow be misconstrued, someone will be hurt if they ever gave me an electronic, or some miscellaneous problem will occur. But here, I can complain, and since probably no one reads this crap anyways, it does. not. really. matter.

So, I have this juicer. I just tried to juice some apples today and it just wouldn't work. So, I reassembled it about twelve times and finally it made some noise. I put an apple in. Nothing happened. I gave up. Then, I smelled the burnt engine. Great.

My frustration with this juicer reflects how I feel about so many electronics, starting from my solar-powered watch that falls onto the floor and cracks its glass, to the wireless printer that prints 30% of the time with my laptop, to the flat screen TV that makes playing in the living room a hazard (to the kids who would have to face the parent who purchased the TV), to all the other kitchen appliances that malfunction or simply take up too much space.

I need simplicity. I don't even want a vacuum cleaner! I have a sweep!

Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

For so long I have ignored you, because I have been distracted by Facebook. I'm so sorry. Facebook can be a horrible friend with whom words get misinterpreted, feelings get hurt, drama is started, and disaster takes over your life. Well, that was a bit dramatic.

I promise to post pictures and to write about thoughts, problems, and events on you more often. I'm still going to see Facebook on the side, but I like you more, Blog. With you, I can completely explain a situation and make myself understood.

Sincerely,

Irene
