So let me go over my horrible no good awful weekend. First I was just chillin out on my computer when all of a sudden the brand new monitor I just bought about 2 weeks ago totally fried out on me. It just went totally black, no picture no nothing. ...So i was like wow, thats odd... I called the tech support dude and he was like, yeah you need a new monitor. and I was like... wow gay... does this happen often? and he was like um, i'm not sure... A lot of help he was. So I go and look at my warantee information for my monitor that I bought at office max. It seems the warantee is for 14 days, at this point i have had my monitor for 15 days....owned. So I gall the NEC tech support guy back and am like, yeah my in store warantee ran out so I need to send it back to you. So he tells me to ship it to california and they'll send me a new one. Now I have to send this 50lb monitor back to california, that will cost a lot of shipping... so I sigh and hang up the phone.

Luckily, My friend Matt (Tek) works at office max, so I called him up and cut a deal with them and they exchanged it for me late saturday night. So I lug a 50lb monitor all over knoxville to get a new one. Finally I get home, plug in my new monitor and *beeeeeeeeeeooop* my computer resets. SO I was like, wow thats odd... I turned it on again and *BEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOP* system reset. SO now my computer is owning me hardcore... and i'm getting cranky and this goes on for 2 hours. Finally I get my system to boot up and Hasler walks in and asks to borrow my webcam, Now i'm kind of edgy right now so I'm like whatever dude just bring it back later... Now matt walks over and lifts up my computer a bit to take my webcam and.........*BWAM* system freezes and locks up. Now I totally lose it and start swearing at Matt for breaking my computer after I just worked on it for like 4 hours straight... then he starts laughing cause I dont think he's ever seen me tweak out like that. So my computer continues to reset continuously. I occasionally get it to boot up for around 30 minutes and install about 8 different virus scanners on it, all which end up trashing my system and cluttering it up even more... So thats all on Saturday... Sunday I wake up and my stomach is tottally owning me... so i'm like.. wow thats odd.... then proceed to go throw up. SO i skip church and fall back asleep and Jenn calls me and I'm all cranky and totally treat her like crap because of my crappy weekend. I spend the rest of Sunday trying to fix my computer ... I ended up reformatting and losing just about everything.

So that brings me to where I am now.... things are looking better, I got to spend some quality phone time with Jenn and was actually not a pest... my computer seems stable.... we won our counter-strike match by a very large margin when we were predicted to actually lose pretty hardcore which was good......... so hopefully this week will be a tad bit better. and thats my gay rant on this weekend. ....things can only get better......right?
