Subject: Hi

Hello Rachel. My name is brandon. I live in the United states of America and am only 19 years old. I don't have very many friends, and this has been the case since I went through tons and tons and tons of abuse that my dad put me through, and I was only trying to get to know him. I love to talk to people. I am able to talk Easier if I have a voice to voice chat, so that I can pick up what's being said. One problem I am having, (and maybe, beings you use Jaws, you might have the answer), I am having quite a bit of trouble trying to send Emails using M, s, n, Hotmail. (note, comma was to allow synthesizer to speak letters corectly). I notice that every time I attempt to use the tab key, I seem to end up where the page began instead of moving forward, or, have all kinds of problems reading Email. Biggest example. I am an amateur radio Operater. When I got an Email from a friend who was building me a strong signal antenna, I couldn't read all of the messages because the detail was truncated, and so it only read segments of the message and not all. Your message board is very accessable. I only wish I knew how that could even happen. I also perform Music, and I am attempting to get it set up so that if a person wants to hear what I can play on the Yamaha psr, or the yamaha Small board, as I call the small black keyboard, well, I may be able to just plug one end of my radio Shack Connecting chord into the Microphone plug, and another, into the keyboard, either the big one or the small one. The big one consists of 599 sounds, 150 rhythms, 101 songs, song 101 done by me, and several sound setup features. The small keyboard consists of 200 sounds, 99 rhythms, and only 2 songs for the song bank, and only room for you to store 1 song of your own creation. I also have a sound craft, audio mixer. This sound craft mixer consists of several controls to make all sounds sound just as good as they should. Perhaps, if I use the mixer, I can play and sing, something I have done for, well, I'd say since I was at least 5. One note. Sometimes, I do tend to get extra detailed when I am talking, however, I encourage anyone to send me a response. If you have a microphone, voice response would be best at kbplayer86 at hotmail.com. Let me spell that out for those synthesizers that tend to misread adresses, like the one I have. The email is, k, b, p, l, a, y, e, r, 8, 6, at, hotmail, dot, com. All one word, all lower case. O by the way, Rachel, did you ever get the Email I sent you via the direct send mail Link? if not, it is probably because I am having quite a problem as said before where the to field allows me to type the adress but does not allow me to confirm whether I was able to send it or not. I like the DECtalk Synthesizer. I actually have version 4.60 of DECtalk Access32 Software, which still has the digital Equipment Corperation type sound. If you are using 4.41 of DECtalk access32, A good way to compare is that when 4.41 says the word enter, as one word, it says it slowly. If you have dectalk, try this. enter. That was with a period. Now in the context. Press any key such as enter. You'll find that if you used that same string with 4.60, that the saying of the word enter alone is said a little faster than with 4.41. So I don't go overboard, I have alot to tell about myself. I was born december 7, 1986. I was born Blind. I am very easy to get along with, in fact, so easy, that you would never notice if I had a problem, except, if my anxiety level goes up. 2 years ago, I went through a strain of abuse while trying to get to know my dad. The abuse was so bad that my brain is actually shrinking. This was acording to a cat scan that was done 2 months ago. I have other disabilities, of which I do not want to go into too much detail about in text, because I do talk better than I write. I'd like to have some friends to talk to. Ones who will be their when I need them, and ones who will listen when I need them to. I have a firm belief that we all have something in common, something we try to do every day, a goal we set, and that we always find a way to reach it. I feel that you have very simple and very, very, very, very structured rules, in other words you have rules that should be followed, like you said. In my view, there's no reason why rules should be broken. Let's talk about what I like to do. I like to talk, as said earlier. I like to play on a keyboard and sing. When I'm talking, it is easy to recognize voices if I hear them enough. For example, Rachel, if I were to hear your voice once, I'd never forget it. never! My memory is that good, although I will say that there are some times where times when I have a little trouble. Again, I hope to make new friends. I live in a town where good friends are hard to come by. I got to thinking about things to make mention of as I've been writing this message. Did you know that when Ringo Starr Advertized the apple sauce in Japan that his name ment Apple Sauce in Japanese? There's a fact that they say is pointless and useless but I still think that either way, it's very interesting. I want your opinion, rachel. Others would try to say that I talk a little more than I should when writing messages, however I talk better than I write. Forgive all the mistakes in the writing of this message, that is one bigger struggle that I seem to notice more and more of. By the way, I'm still trying to figure out the same thing you are about Patrick Perdue. Is he actually Borice? Well, I can't seem to sort that out either, but I shall say He is a talent that I hope continues his good work. You've got I think the best website that ever appeared on a computer's screen simply because you are friendly and know how it feels when somebody tryes to cause problems. I myself can't take bad language or excessive drama because of my history of anxiety attacks. The anxiety attack acording to the doctors are nothing I can control, so I try to watch my stress level. What ever you do, one way to tell if my anxiety is starting to go up is if I start to be excessively slow responding. At that point, if what caused that was a big arguement, try to turn me away from that subject and point me to another. Doctors sayd that I am going to have to have some kind of cues when that happens, because the person talking will notice the problem more than I may. Another way to tell if I'm stressed is if my responses are extremely shorter than this first message. Reason being there. If I am overly stressed, I have a problem where my hands start to shaking. This, again, is not under any control of mine. Anyway, I'd better probably stop right there before I take up the entire page detailing information I probably could send in messages which I will send more often. I added your website to my favorites list, therefore, your site is there for me to view. Note. DECtalk file problem. A link on the dectalk page, which points to arkived DECtalk links, Speech Synthesis Songs and more must be down, I don't know. The link is entitled, (if I am wording this right), click here for all the other wonderful creations that have been done, this link is found on the DECtalk Page. I get a page erroe, and then it redirects me to Andre Louis's homepage. It's not your end of the site, it's got to be a problem with either the server I use, or the fact that they updated it, and in order to view it you would have to go through alot of links and resources before you could track it down. Don't worry about it though, I thought I'd just let you know what I've seen. I'm sure that the others that view your page do not get the same thing, so likely it's my computer. Comments would greatly be appriciated. Keep up the good work, and don't ever hesitate to talk to me if you just want to talk, or if there is anything I can do for you. If there is, I'd be more than happy to help you out if you need. Thanks, Rachel. Have a good morning, afternoon, or evening, where ever everybody may be. I will stay on this sight, to see if any replys come in, or just monitor my Email if the responses will come there. Either way I will watch for the responses so that at least we know that I'm still out ther, eh? Anyway have a good day, night, or morning, as I'm now sure what time of day you are recieving this in Australia's time zone. I've got a lot to learn, and I am more than ready to learn it. Thanks. Talk to you very soon hopefully! Your new friend! Brandon!!!!!!
