"Don't go up tuh that school house and get dumbed up!"

It took me an extremely long time to fully comprehend what my grandfather meant by that constant statement.  He believed in education, he was an avid reader, a brilliant critical thinker , there fore his deep skepticism concerning organized education.  It was because he could so quickly discern a clown or a puppet in an organized school , on a school board, that he always cautioned us.

I've always loved learning about what I want to learn about.  I love social studies, history, liberal arts, formal arts, theatre, literature, politics, anthropology, archeology.  My mind is ravenous for information on what I like! 

I have no interest in technology, therefore I languish as a stubborn slave refusing to learn more than where the  "on and off" buttons are located.  My iPhone has helped me tremendously, forced me to become more computer literate whether I wanted to or not.

It is true; "You can not teach and old dog new tricks."  People think the old dog is refusing to learn, being obstinate.  I have a testimony.  We can't.  We can't catch on.  Computers bring out the "Down Syndrome" in me. I am not saying that as a put down for "slow thinkers".  It is a plea for deep sympathy.  I want people to pretend I fell off of a very high building, crushed my scull, suffered a brain injury and now must wear a helmet for the rest of my life.

How are you going to treat me?  Will you take advantage of me because you know I'm slow?  Remember one thing, one day, you too shall be old, hopefully.

 Technology brings out my frustration.  I found out I am easily frustrated.  I am ADDH.  I am Attention Deficit Disordered with Hyperactivity and emotionally disordered.  I am like most students, fucked up!

Wait! Before you judge, when has man never been fucked up?  That is the nature of man to be foolish, to be fucked up.  That is why GOD gave us (HIS) Son.  I am so glad I serve a GOD of second chances.

Praise the LORD!
