I had the idea to take the XO laptop that I bought for my eldest and give it to a deserving child. My eldest displayed disgust for that computer--as cool as it is--because it wasn't a big computer.

Yeah, my day had reached the height of terribleness. I got angry, but in my anger I discovered that there was a lesson to be learned for my daughter. My problem was that I really didn't know a deserving child as I lived in a new city. I reached out to the internet.

I received 13 entries, most of them wonderful. I chose the top five. I requested others to choose the winner. I asked some of you to help out with the voting. (Thanks to you!) Then, someone posted what amounted to a spam message on MySpace and Facebook. Random people began voting. I was contacted to make sure I wasn't the one doing the spamming! Ay carumba!

I changed the voting from a poll to voting via comments. Some people are angry at me. Shitgoddamnitmotherfuckersonofabitch! I'm simply trying to give away a laptop worth $180. Why do I now feel so horrible?
