Download .com might not ok this and put it up but it is the truth.
I'll try to be Short so people will read this.
In September 2002 I was searching the net and local computer stores for a way to customize my computer, to make it mine. My search lasted two weeks, with a lot of deleted programs, that didn't do what I wanted, or just did not work right. Also a lot of websites where I had to buy and could not try the stuff first.
Then I tripped into wincustomize where I could Download for free, Skins for programs I already Had. It was a dream come true. Then I noticed there were Skins for programs I didn't Have, with links to get The programs, so I could use the Skins. They made it so easy.
So I downloaded windowblinds free and tried it for five minuets. It was so good, I Went right back on line to buy it. Then I saw I could get Object Desktop:Network Edition for $49.95.
I didn't even know what it was but windowblinds was so awesome, And it came with so I figured How could I go wrong for $50 cheap. So I got it. With Component Manager (came with) I downloaded all the programs. It was so easy.
I was up all night playing.
Object Desktop came with a Host of programs for customizing every pixel of my computer.
It was a lot to figure out (cause I got so much for my $50) but I took it a program at time. It was fun.
Sure maybe there were a few bugs but all computer programs Have Bugs, Nothing that I could not easily deal with. All and all the programs worked remarkably great!!!!!!!
I won't list all the programs it takes to much Space but I love them all.
Then I went to wincustomize and downloaded skins to my Hearts content for free.
At wincustomize they have wallpaper and skins by the thousands all made by artists with endless talent, My Hat is off to all the artists that toil to make these skins, And get maybe a good word once and a while as a comment left by a very Happy computer user. Also at wincustomize they have a message board where you can get Help and questions answered 24 Hours a day 7 days a week.
By Really patient people.
They are always eager to Help Every body even people who don't deserve It!!!!
So on a scale of 1 to 10 I give wincustomize and Stardock and all who made it possible a rating of One thousand. Thats the truth no BS.
Sincerely Jeff Schuyler

I made the face up out of my head rather than using an actual 'person' (I've always loved to make up people out of the blue since I was young and translating my idea with a mouse and computer was a challenge but a fun one nonetheless) so in a sense this person is 'anyone'...it could be a part of you...if you so wish.

You're always such a sweetie snookums, werewolf! Ya know that don't ya?

I find my own pathology both perplexing and fascinating and delving into myself helps me to delve deeper into others. I have a funny way of looking inside myself on almost cold, clinical terms but it has helped me to look at myself on both a human level and on an emotional level and also to take a few steps back and see myself 'outside' of me. If that makes any sense.

If we don't go deeper than the surface with our own psyches then we shall never be able to reach into the deepest depths of another...

It came with my pea sea

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

ahh, not true...the fur merely hides the blush

"I have a funny way of looking inside myself on almost cold, clinical terms..."
but, please also look inside yourself with love and see yourself as a warm, compassionate, loving person. You're the only Shmoopy you'll ever have
