the machine
to the machine… “so there!”

Hey, listen to what just happened to me.  I was just drafting a very long entry where I say how much the machine is better than me.  I am inferior to it in every way.  For the machine does not need or want or crave anything.  Maybe my not being the machine makes me a victim to all these things.  But guess what?  I am very superior to the machine in at least one way.  You see, as I got ready to publish this long entry, the power went off in our place.  Yes!  It just dies out and I lost my entry.  That power is part of the machine.  It is faulty because it did not know enough to back itself up so it would not die suddenly.  It is like, Mom making a backup of the hard drive when she has to.  She is smarter than the machine I guess.  Now, the machine is not always faulty.  Look at War again for example.  It is probably the perfect machine.  Although it is very disturbing to me to think about, it is unbelievable precise.  But, I do not want to concentrate on negatives here.  What I want to do is focus on how Terry is greater than the machine.  Well, not greater, but different.  This difference may be very interesting!  Maybe some of you will realize how much all people are the same at a certain age.  And can relate things that you feel with things that I feel, good or bad.  I need to take this direction if I want to succeed in this task. 

Hey, my Kitty just came in and I got to pet it and whisper loudly to it a good morning.  Then I am able to hear it purr.  As the machine, I might be able to hear it, but I would not be able to feel happy about it.  This is positive huh?  I believe it is and I think you will all agree with me on this.
