Finally!

I'm starting to feel a little better. My cold's disappearing very quickly, though the congestion's hanging around enough to irritate the hell out of me. But for the most part, I think it's all over with.

I'm working full-speed on starting to design the blog in my own way, at least that's what I did today. I've been downloading Photoshop plugins like mad - they'll fit into Paint Shop Pro with no trouble (it's what I prefer), so... hopefully I'll be able to do this the way I want. Once I do, however, I'll be leaving Blogger - so sorry, so sad, but I don't like being restricted to their templates, or even templates that others write for you. A blog is a personal expression, at least that's the way I see it - doesn't it make sense that I want to design and create it?

I'm no graphic artist, though. Sometimes I wish that I had more ability in that department, after seeing all of the things that can be done with these programs.

Sometimes I think to myself that I was just born a little too early. I was part of the "pioneer" movement for computers, when they first came into the mainstream, I would teach people what they were about and how to use them... nowadays, no one sane goes without one. It's opened up a lot of opportunities for the younger generation... but what becomes of my generation, the ones who got it all started? Somehow I sort of feel.... left out? Maybe that's not the right expression, but...

Too much thinking again, heh.

It's going to be a hellish week, thanks to the training, so I'll be signing off early. But at least my body and mind are in a better state now.
