a+ certified

yup, i just got a+ certified today. passed the test, got a really high score. that was the second test, the operating system test... i already took the hardware test. now i’m officially certified to fix any computer problem! hells yeah! give me your tired, your broken, your malfunctioning circuits. i will restore all ibm-compatible desktop computers to full working order. with laptops it is a bit harder since you can’t just take out whatever part you want and replace it with a different one. with desktops, everything is pretty much standardized and easy once you understand it all. but i noticed at least one error on the test. it asked about how to change the themes in windows xp, and there were 5 different choices, each of them a step-by-step list of things to click on. and guess what? all the choices were wrong, every single one of them. the real answer, the correct answer, wasn’t even listed. i hate trick questions like that. but, i managed to get into the high scores. i hope someone else doesn’t beat my high score to knock me out of the list. that would suck. anyway, maybe i should learn how to fix apple macintosh computers next. i wonder what percentage of computers are macs. probably around 10%, right? but macs are arguably not even real computers, they are all fake. for a computer to be real and actually count, it has to run microsoft windows. that is just a fact. so anyway, i changed my mind and i think i will support hillary clinton after all. i mean what is the point of having in-party fighting between democrats? that is just silly. we need to defeat the republicans first, and then, after republicans have been eliminated, then we can go back to our silly infighting. and as for hillary’s ambitions for president, maybe the reason so many people say she can’t win is because the republicans are afraid of her and are trying to trick democrats into not nominating her because deep down inside they know she would kick ass. and i shouldn’t be mad at her just because she hangs out with people i consider to be unsavory characters like the dlc and rupert murdoch. maybe she needs the help of those evil people to be elected, but that does not actually prove that she is as evil as they are. nor is it a good reason to be mad that i disagree with her on a few issues, since we agree on probably 80 or 90 percent of issues. i mean sure i can find politicians that i agree with more of what they say, but what is the point if they are considered wacky kooky underdogs that could never get elected? supporting them would just undermine the unity of the democratic party, or what little unity may or may not exist, theoretically. well ok, there is no unity. but that is the point... there should be. because that way, it would be a helluva lot easier to beat the republicans, if we stopped fighting amongst ourselves. we can get back to fighting each other later, after we win the elections, but if we keep it up now, we might lose the elections, again, despite all the massive republican failures in governance. so, we would be left with the knowledge that republicans can win elections but can’t govern, and democrats can govern but can’t win elections. there should at least be somebody who can do both. why, my favorite senator, russ feingold, has an approval rating in his home state that is not as enormously high as i would expect it to be. maybe he is not as charismatic as i thought. but at least he knows the difference between right and wrong. it is too bad the other 99 senators have such a slow learning curve on that issue. but at least i am a+ certified. maybe someday we will be able to fix people’s brains, just like how we can fix computers nowadays. that would be a start.
