Press 1 for Help

I saw this beautiful little message pop up on my screen today as my mouse flew by the many open windows. My multitasking immediately stopped. There's a 1? Well 1 then, dammit, 1,1,1! Where was this 1 when i needed to remember that I had something better to do today? Where was this one last night while i sat in my moms car crying into my selfhaters pizza, waiting for her to call me to pick her up? Where has it been ever? Now i know the obvious answer for the faithful is that there has always been a one and always will be and i have had countless opportunities to access that one, in Sunday school, at yoga class, kneeling on my knees somewhere.... yes... i absolutely believe in the one, whatever she (?) maybe called. But 1? 1 sounds good. 1 sounds trustworthy. 1 sounds like it could troubleshoot the shit outa my life. problem is my numlock is not on, shift key is stuck down and there seems to be no right click button on this "apple" personal portable home computer. I know what ur thinking, and no, speechrecognition is not enabled. Nor has it ever done anything but take me further from 1. Hours and hours of looking for drivers and sending emails and never figured out how to press 1. Lost the metaphor there didn't i? 1.

I am watching a Penn and Teller show called Bullshit. They just mentioned how Deepak Chopra endorses a fruit drink sold only by a mulitlevel marketing style (pyramid) "business". Yet another spiritual teacher lets me down. Note: I do have a habit of idolizing teachers and mentors to the point of needing them to be perfect - and no, im not working on that.
