Random

My ex would get so angry at the condition of my computer keyboard. I bought the thing for $5 6 years ago from a used computer parts bin. I also bought my current mouse for $2 at the time. It might have even been less money. I bought the keyboard for the sole reason that the keys depress easily. My ex had taught me that the easier the keys depress, the easier it was to play computer games and type. My brain turned that into the most important thing I could get from a keyboard and nothing else matters.

He was the type to have a super messy room, but be annoyed with a dirty computer keyboard. Meanwhile he had thrown his computer monitor out of the window in a rage...to have it get rained on...and to bring it back in the house and keep using it afterwards (it still worked!). Anyway, the way I feel about my keyboard is probably the way most feel about body tattoos...

The marks and stains show history and  yes, character. It's not a complete mess filthy mess-  I've wiped it down. But if there is a random purple stain, that's wine...if there is a key popped out...well you know something must've happened that day...If you look closely at the keys there is a line of color along the edges...no doubt from whatever haphazard experience it's been through on any given day.

But I can't complain. It works and the keys still depress easily. It's been through years of abuse and it's still here. That's all I need to know to keep it around right???
