Writer's block?

This is tougher than I thought it would be.  As I pointed out in my first blog, I can write if I can think of a topic that piques my interest.  I keep this page loaded in my browser tabs so I see it often and I sit and ponder on what to write next.  I'm blank!  :)

I should probably stop worrying about what other's will find interesting since I doubt this will even get seen by anyone, and just write about the little things in my life.  Maybe that would help get the ball rolling.  The creative juices flowing.  The gears grinding...

Anyway, I figured this was a bit of a kickstart again.  Just get something down.  A reminder to myself to put a bit more time into this instead of wasting it on my phone.  :P

Hopefully more to come, sooner than later!

I used to be pretty good at writing.  I'm great at typing.  Combine those and I should be an okay blogger, write?  ;) I aced the essay portion of my senior English class.  I promptly bombed the poetry portion.  It was an honor class, labeled as "College English".  It was supposed to give me credit toward my first year in college.  That's what they told me to convince me to take it.  What they didn't know is that I knew it was only 3 days a week and that would free up some of my days.  SIGN ME UP! We had 2 semesters, 2 subjects.  Essay writing and poetry.  I'm a left brainer.  Think about having a bit of creativity and coming up with some cool ideas in life.  I haven't had any of those moments in my life.  I live almost completely over there on the left side of the brain.  I look back and believe this is why I aced t...

The perfect laptop?

Image
  Did I just find the perfect laptop? I've been on a crusade the last couple of months trying to find a laptop that has excellent battery life (priority #1), compact in size (no more than 14"), and powerful enough to satisfy the geek in me.   Back in October of 2020, Best Buy ran a sale on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14.  It is a high powered 14" laptop that has gotten rave reviews.  BB had the base model on sale for $899.  It had the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU and a GTX 1650Ti GPU.  I upgraded the RAM to 16 GB myself and it came with a 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD.  When I first powered it up and got it set up, I thought I'd hit the jackpot.  It was definitely a high powered machine and I knew it would tackle anything I had to throw at it.  It also had fantastic battery life for a machine that powerful.  I was able to get almost 8 hours of internet surfing, some word processing and a bit of video streaming.  I decided to use it for an online mee...
