yo all, welcome to my world!

I have been thinking all night and I have so much going through my head now. I have been thinking a lot of Mattie, and his mom, and the MDA. Truly Jeni Stepanek has inspired me to do my fund raiser for sure next year. Even though it’s to late for Mattie, it’s not for her. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to meet her, but that is something I want to do in my lifetime. I am thinking of starting a group on klango in remembrance of Mattie, and to help him spread his message of peace. I want to help MRS Stepanek spread this message, and I’ll do what I have to, to accomplish this. Mattie was a true inspiration to me and my family. I am blind, have been since birth. But Mattie always, and I mean always encourages me, because I know he is here with us, maybe not body wise, but his spirit is strong. I love Mattie, and I am inspired by MRS Jeni Stepanek, because she is doing so much for this cause.

this is weird. MR du plessis is having me teach him about klango. I don’t mind it, as a matter of fact I am more then thrilled that he is taking the time to learn about klango and everything else. but now roals are reversed, and I am the teacher, and he is the student. I’m feeling kinda weird, teaching him, because usually, he is the teacher, and I am the student. I just hope I do okay. I think I should at least have klango open, so I can walk him through with it right there. I do better that way

I just got this email, and I have to share it. Mattie JT. Stepenek died in 2004 from Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 13. he meant the world to me, and I am still missing him alot. here’s the email I got from his website.

Hello friends and Peace Champions,

Am asking for your assistance and enthusiasm here. Please pass this info to folks in your email address book, your facebook page, your twitter followers,
your co-workers, your church, your friends and relatives… everyone. This matters a lot to me. 

This Monday, Nov 2, I will be on Good Morning America to release “Messenger: The Legacy of Mattie J.T. Stepanek and Heartsongs.” This is not a book by Mattie,
but the first book ABOUT Mattie’s life! Early reviews of the book have been wonderful, and folks say they are left smiling, and re-remember why Mattie
inspired us so profoundly with his words, his message, and his wit and wisdom. Dr. Maya Angelou penned a beautiful foreword for this book, which is available
on online sites like amazon for pre-orders. And on Wednesday, Nov 4 at 7 pm, the book release event will take place at the White Flint Mall Borders Bookstore
on Rockville Pike/North Betheda, MD. Please visit Mattie’s website (
www.mattieonline.com
) for info about the book and updated info about publicity.  

Thank you so much my friends,

Jeni (”Mattie’s mom”). 

one thing I do not understand is why some sighted people say I am amazing. it’s the simplest things that get them going. E.G. getting my own soda, working my laptop, even listening to my MP3 player. I understand that the people who makes these remarks, are trying to rap there head around the idea of being blind, but really, how am I supposed to act when I am told I am amazing? I’m not mad because of this, I’m just lost. do I thank them? do I just move on? what do I do? I am so lost and no one has made a book about this, that I know of, so I am kind of in the dark here. so why am I so amazing to some? and how do I react?

well today has sucked. woke up this morning feeling bla, and almost spilt my drink on my laptop. luckly I could grab it in time, or I would not have this anymore. missed my friend’s show because of my internet connection being a pain in my um, yeah. oh and had to do system restore because my screen got screwed up. so, today has not been my day at all. what do you do on days like this? hate to complain, but I am so glad this day is almost over. it’s days like this when I thank the good lord I have great friends who can help and deal with me and these crappy days. anyway, enough bad thoughts, I could get in to trouble, haha. going to bed soon, at least for awhile.

I just want to say one thing. I’m not even sure if the crew has time to read blogs or not, but I thought why not do it anyway? Klango is a wonderful program, and while I’m sure it can get hard to program Etc, I am so glad it’s here. The things this wonderful team are doing with klango is just remarkable. I want to thank all the people, who has made this program possible, and want to say that I hope to god klango stays like it is for years and years and years to come. These programmers do not have to do what they are doing, but they are taking out there time to make a wonderful client/website. I don’t think I can thank them enough for making this such a great program. Thank you klango dev team, for taking the time to make such a great program/website. I’m not sure what else I can say, so I’ll leave it at this.
God bless,
cat

I thought I had my screen reader and phone figured out, but now I’m starting to wonder if maybe mobil speak sounds better. but I am more then confused. how am I supposed to know wich one is a good idea? this, kinda sucks.

I just got miranda to work and I love it. I had so many problems with WLM that I just said screw it and uninstalled it. now I am using miranda, and it is sooooo awsome! to anyone thinking of switching to miranda, go for it, because it’s fast, doesn’t bog down the PC and is just all together awsome.
