It took him about the amount of time he expected to walk back to his apartment. Once back there he took a look around his apartment and decided that it needed a little sprucing up but, with what. He decided that he needed some plants in his apartment and he also thought some new paint was in order. The apartment was so dark and dreary that a little lightening up was what it needed.

What kind of plants to buy? He thought maybe some ferns and dwarf fruit trees. He was not sure which plants were able to grow indoors with low light. Sure he thought he could ask the clerks at a nursery but, he decided to buy some plants and see if they would grow and if those plants did not grow Stetson would buy different types of plants until he found plants that worked.

For the pant the room was green but Stetson want the room more homey so he choose to paint it in a dark pink. And he would also redo his bed cover and get a pink cover and heck he would get everything else in the rooms to be pink. He thought the color was calming and he was always so tense and anxious that he thought he could use a little calming.

He had decided what he wanted to do now he had to figure out how to do it. "I want to purchase all of the goods over the internet because then I won't have to talk to people or see them and that will be fine by me. Now he had to decide which websites to buy from. He decided on The Web Store That Has Everything.

The Web Store That Has Everything dot com was started by a women names Georgina Winston. She had made millions in real estate and was looking for a place to invest her money and as this was around the year 2000 of course someone suggested that she should start a web store. And so that is what she did even thought Georgina knew nothing about computers or the internet but, she was a fast learner so she was confident that she could learn. It took her longer then she expected but she did learn about how to use a computer and the web. And one thing she realized is that she did not much like either. Though she did want to learn how to make computer programs other than that she thought that life without a computer was better than with a computer. That did not mean that she did not want to still start a web store it just ment that she would hire someone else to run it instead of running it herself. And so the Web Store That Has Everything was born.

The business started off slow but, then picked up speed. And Georgina was grateful for her businesses success. This was the website where stetson decided to buy all his supples for his apartment.

He debated wether to go into the ice cream parlor. And decided to go in even though there were lots of people and he might have to say hi to someone but, so what he really wanted an ice cream cone.

His favorite flavor of ice cream was chocolate chip so decided to order ten chocolate chip ice cream cones. Why order just one when he could order as many as he wanted. He was not sure how long it would take him to eat that many ice cream cones. But, he would get them all eaten. He ordered the ice cream and sat down at a booth while the clerk made them and it would take a minute or two because there were so many cones to be made. One the clerk finished making them he brought them to Stetsons booth on a giant platter.He tried to say hi and be friendly to stetson but stetson just ignored him and waved his hand to shoo the clerk away. He did not want to start being friendly to people after all the years of not being friendly to people.

Stetson immediately dug into one of the chocolate chip ice cream cones and ate it in just a few bites and stated to have the worst ice cream headache of his life. It was at that moment that he remember why he stopped eating ice cream in the first place. He stopped because he aways ate the ice cream to fast and got lots and lots of ice cream headaches which made he feel miserable. So that is why he went cold turnkey on the ice cream.

He started in on the second chocolate chip ice cream cone and vowed to eat it slow so as not to get the dreaded ice cream headache. And so he made it happen and do not get a headache. He looked out the window to watch passerby. He saw a women pushing her baby in a stroller and man walking his immaculately groomed poodle. He was beginning to enjoy himself. He even thought that he might start walking around the city on a regular basis. Though he still did not want to talk to people or look them in the eye.

He preceded to eat the rest of the ice cream cones without incident. He had already payed for the cones so after he finished eating all but, one he walked out of the ice cream parlor and onto the still sunny streets of computer city. It was getting late though so he decided to head back to his apartment. The sun was going down so he had to hurry as he was afraid of the dark. He decided to walk back the way he came and so it would take him about an hour or two to get back to his apartment and luckily it would not be dark before he got back to his apartment.

It was midday now and Stetson was growing restless to move on so he decided to get up off the bench and stretch in preparation for a walk that would take him past the computer city café. He was really enjoying the outdoors now. After he stretching he was off and walking as opposed to off and running.

There were still know people around witch suited Stetson just fine. He wondered what they could be doing and then he realised that the final game of the CBA(Comedian Basketball league was on and everyone was probably watching that. He read in the newspaper that the CBA finals was projected to have the biggest viewing audience of the year. Almost everyone in computer city would have their televisions tuned to the game. Except Stetson who did not watch Basketball. Weightlifting was his favorite sport to watch. He also liked watching Bodybuilding competitions. He could not imagine lifting all those heavy weights himself but, he did imagine what it would be like sometimes though he knew that he would never be able to become a bodybuilder because he could not stand being around so many people all the time. But, who knows he thought someday he might enjoy being around people and become a bodybuilder. Stranger things have happened.

The sidewalks were still bad down by the waterfront but, still walkable barely. The sun was now starting to get a little cooler and the breeze was picking up He walked past the computer city bakery and could smell the fresh bread and pastries the were baking and set out in the display cases. He wished he could go in and buy one but there were people in the baker so he did not want to go in and she he just had to walk by.

The bakery on the outside was just as beautiful as the pastries on the inside. It was a turn of the century building. The twentieth century not the twenty-first century. It had beautiful molding and the paint job was pink and white and every window had flower boxes with flowers that had spectacular blooms. The flowers were replaces as soon as they stopped blooming so that people walking by would always have fresh flowers to view as the walked by the bakery.

Stetson kept on walking with dreams of pastries and cakes in his head. He heard planes flying overhead again and he wondered again where the plane came from and what airline it was from. He kept waking for about a block until he walked by the computer city ice cream parlor. It was an old time ice cream parlor with furniture and waiters and waitresses in fifties uniforms. He had been in the ice cream parlor once and even had a cup of chocolate chip ice cream.

He walked out the door of the apartment building and turned left onto 2nd street. He walked past a row of newly remodeled apartment buildings. He admired the way that the remodel went as the buildings looked great and would surely command lots of money for rent from the new renters.

The sidewalk was in bad shape with cracks and pot holes everywhere but, that would be remedied in a months time because the computer city municipal construction company would resurface all the side walks around the city witch was a job that would take a good six months because the city was so big but, it would be worth it with the sidewalks being better and all.

Stetson hear and airplane fly overhead and he looked up and thought to himself that that was probably a jumbo jet that belonged to the computer city airline. He wondered where it was coming from and weather the jet was full of passengers as the airline was not doing well in its competition with airlines that were outside computer city. It was thought that the airline might be shut down but stetson did not think it would because he was sure computer city officials would want a home grown airline. Sure Stetson was not a people person but, he liked to keep up with the news of the city by reading all the computer city newspapers. He liked to read the paper version as opposed to the electronic computer version that was on the internet because sitting behind a computer made him feel trapped and he tried to avoid it as much as possible.

He continued walking for two blocks until he got to the computer city waterfront. He adored the waters as it made him feel free and alive. He was glad that no one was outside today so he did not have to ignore anyone and could look around and not worry about making eye contact with anyone. Birds were making noise and flying around the water the view was magnificent. He vowed to come to the waterfront more often. And he always did what he did, sometimes.

He decided to sit on a bench and watch the birds and enjoy the wind since it was a magnificent day and he did not want to hurry back inside since he was inside for most of his life and he needed a change even if it was for only one day. He saw a person in the distance and was going to move so he could avoid the person but, then the person turned onto a side street so the catastrophe was avoided without incident. Lucky for Stetson. He was the happiest that he could remember being in decades. And that was saying something.

The wind was blowing the leaves of the tress and he adored the noise of the trees rustling in the wind.

"Its not that I don't like people" Stetson said. "Its just than I am not comfortable around them. I don't feel that I have anything interesting to add to any conversations so I stay silent and never make eye contact or talk to anyone except once in awhile" He said to his only friend.

Some of his hobbies were watching television, reading, writing but he did not use the internet except for work as he saw it the internet was best when it was used for a purpose and not entertainment.

His favorite hobby was playing video games. He did not like using a computer like a desktop or laptop to play his games. He much preferred to use a dedicated video game console such as the Star Galactic game console. He sometimes would play for days at a time if he had time of from his dish washing job. Sun up to sun down and he had the time of his life. Video games to him were adventure store where a person could be in the center of the action and shape events sure the were not real but, they were fun.

His favorite video games was = Storm desert was = He had played that game over and over and over again. The player was a one man special forces team who had to save the world from some of the worst criminals. Hank Tank was his name. He had to fly all over the world on assignment by the government and stop bad things from happening or before they got bad enough that they reached the news.

It was a life that Stetson wanted to live but, knew he never would so playing a video games was the next best thing. Stetson had a dream of over a five year period of playing as many video games as he could manage. He though that was a great dream and within his power of accomplishing. The dream included beating those games before he played the next game and since he was not the greatest video games player he could not estimate how many games he would play over that five years time.

But, that dream would have to be accomplished after he built robots. And who know how long it would take him to make the robots he wanted to make. One day he decided to go outside for a little relaxation and walk around computer city. The was sunny, warm and with a big breeze which made it the perfect day for walking around the city because Stetson knew he would not get sweaty or to hot so he could enjoy the walk. He took the elevator to the first floor of his apartment building and when the mail women behind the desk said hi Stetson he ignored her and kept walking out the door.

Stetson Anderson was a lonely man. He had always desired the perfect women but, did not have the courage or social skills to go up to any women and ask her out. So he knew he would spend the rest of his life alone and miserable.

He dabbled in computer programming for years without making anything of consequence and seeing that he would never be able to attract a women or friends he decided to make them. So he stated studying the field of robotics.

He figured that to be able to have enough knowledge to build himself some friends it would take hime years and years of hard work witch he was not afraid of. He decided to start building robots right away even though it would take years to be able for him to build the robots he wanted to build. He shopped online and bough dozens of robot kits in including, robot dogs, cats, vacuum cleaners, spiders. He would build these to keep him going until the day arrived when he could order parts that were not part of a kit and build the robots he wanted.

He knew he would have to improve as a computer programmer so he could program the robots he built and he knew he would improve because now he had the motivation to do so. He did not want to fail as a robot maker.

The robot building was only his hobby though he did have a day job as a dishwasher at the computer city café. Since he was not what one would call a people person he went to his job but, never spoke to anyone avoiding eye contact because he did not want to engage anyone in conversation. He was not uncomfortable around people he just did not enjoy talking to them. And he certainly could never picture himself talking to a woman.

So a life alone it was for Stetson. He never even said hi to anyone just walking by. He always went in the back entrance of the café so as to minimise the possibility that he would see anyone who would try to talk to him. He washed dishes for two hours straight and then he was given a break and since he wanted to avoid people he would go out the back entrance and find a hidden corner and smoke a cigarette. He liked to watch his health but, he always wanted to keep moving so he took up smoking and that meant he would spend more money than he wanted to but, that was ok. After his smoke break it was back to dish washing for another two hours then it was time to go home and watch television and read his books that he got from the library.

Laura Poker Player, Page 4, The end

And then after she bought the building she was going to paint it all pink because of the calming effect the color had on her.

She once confided to a friend that her biggest fear is that she would die and never accomplish her goals of leaving her mark on the world. Sure she did not want to be a teacher but, she wanted to make a contribution to society. She wanted to get herself to live forever by getting into the history books by working in science or computer programming. She did not want to play poker of video games all her life. She figured that maybe computer programming was it because as she saw it computer programs live for ever if they were published on the internet. Or if she made some big discovery in astronomy or what about nanotechnology.

The possibilities were endless. "I can never make up my mind on what I want to do with the rest of my life." She said to a friend. "I start and then think I want to do something else and then I go back to the thing I stopped doing before I started doing the know project and I just keep going around in circles like a hamster on one of those wheels. What I need is discipline to see a project or endeavour to the end no matter if I get bored or tired of it in the middle just get it done and if I don't like my new hobby then I can move on and try something else.

Because the way she saw herself that once she decided to do or get involved in something that she would get it done and do a solid job even if she was not the best or the brightest. She just had trouble making up that mind as to what she wanted to do.

But, she would keep working to change and someday she would change and there would be a new person and that person would be the new her. That person she had always wanted to be all her life. Someone with confidence and drive and would finish what she started and not leave a project unfinished. Until that time she would keep working to change and as I already mentioned change she would in a big way.

"Sometimes that fact that I don't have a relationship with a boyfriend or a husband bothered her too. As she once mentioned to a friend that sometimes she felt lonely even though she had many many friends. The regret quickly end when she remember her luck with picking that special someone. No luck that is what she had with men. Her last boyfriend was a lier and a thief. She tricked her into giving him thousands of dollars for a business that never really existed. It was later discovered that he was married and had used the money she had given him to support his wife and kids and to take his other mistresses out on dates to fancy restaurants and to the movies and on vacations to tropical islands.

So getting involved with a man was not what she wanted to do anytime soon or for that matter ever again. She said to one friend "I will wait for a company to come out with a male robot and I will buy one and we will live happy ever after because I sure can't see myself being happy with a human male." So she had a good life with some big disappointments but all in all it was a solid life. The end.

Laura Poker Player, Page 3

So Laura had a full life with many friends even if she did not have a romantic relationship. A typical day for Laura would be to get up at about 8:00am eat a breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast.

Then she would work out for two hours with a professional trainer. "I have to workout because I don't get much exercise any other way because I am sitting at poker tables or at my computer or playing video games in front of my big screen television." She told one interviewer for the computer city daily. Yep and all the working out paid off with a great figure. She even had participated in some bodybuilding competitions.

After her grueling workout she would have a light snack. She ate 5 to 6 little meals a day instead of 3 bigger ones. So she would have enough energy for the day. After the snack it was not time to sit in front of her computer for some poker playing. She played a downloadable game called Just poker which had a single person mode, a multi player online mode. She played both modes but, she liked to play people because they were better poker players than the computer.

She would also snack on fruit while playing the poker game on her computer. She played for about two hours at a time and then would take a break for two hours two clean her house, do errands, practice her vido game playing, go to the beach or do anything she had planned that particular day. She did not like to do the same thing everyday so she mixed things up when it came to the time between poker playing. Then she would play poker for another two to three hours on her computer until it was about 4:30pm in the afternoon.

At that time she would head to the computer city casino for some real live poker playing until late into the night. 11:30pm to be exact was the time that she headed for home happy and contented after hours of socializing and poker fun. Before bed she would sometimes have a shower but, always a light snack and then it was off to dreamland as she had no trouble falling asleep after her tiring day. She could not wait for the next day to star and some more fun to be had and there was always fun in her life even if to the outsider her life looked less than exciting. To her it was the life of hr dream and this is what she wanted to do until she died.

Yes its true Laura was a very happy woman. Someday soon she planned on buying the apartment building she lived in even though she did not like the responsibility of home ownership.

Laura The Poker Player, Page 2

Laura lived in the computer city motel. Preferring to live out of a suitcase rather than have the hassle of a house. The hotel room was decorated all in pink. The walls were pink, the carpet was pink shag carpet, The bed spread was pink. It was a great place to live. It was very calming.

Laura in addition to being a professional poker player was a big video game player. So she had a 55 inch big screen television along with a home theater system and as many game consoles as she could afford. She not only like playing the newest games and consoles she also like playing the very fist consoles and games. She was a pretty good video game player but, she did not want to go pro because she thought she could make more money as a poker player. And she was right.

She liked to play video games at least two hours a day to keep up her talents. She did play in video game tournaments when there was a week or weekend when there were no poker tournaments occasionally. She did ok but, needed more practice to become good. But she was proud of her performances.

She had a goal of someday playing and beating as many video games as she could within five years. But, for now she was happy being a poker player. She played poker fifty weeks out of the year mostly at the computer city casino. And she made a decent living too. Fifty thousand dollars a year most years and since she did not spend much beyond rent and food she was starting to save up a large amount of money. She only put the money in the bank as she did not know about or like to make investments.

Her best friend was from high school. Lima Winston also grew up in a upper middle class house hold but, unlike laura she chose to become a scientist. But, she supported Laura's dream of becoming a world class poker player and would watch all the tournaments was involved in on television since she had a busy life. Like Laura, Lima was also a video game fanatic and would also participate in the video game tournaments that Laura would go to. She was not as good of a player but, she was good enough to win some prize money. She like Laura had given up on romantic relations ships in favor of her work as she had had no luck in love and decided to give it up in favor of her science. She did not get lonely living alone because she had many many friends and besides she did not have time for a romantic relationship since she was up late into the night always working on her next science experiment.

My best vacation was probably when my family went to Disney Land when I was young. I believe we also visited the queen mary, The Spruce goose, and knotts Barry Farm.

I remember walking back to the hotel, Going to the fire works display on main street at Disney Land in the evening and just plain having a good time. I don't have many memories but, I do remember the fun of being on vacation and being young.
