Well after 7 years have gone by, I've not always had it in my possession the entire time. A particular special person has kept it for me for a good part of those 7 years. However, for some strange reason, ever since I've gotten it back, the charm has been more of a jinx to me than anything else and every single time I wear it, something bad, unwanted or unlucky seems to occur around me or directly toward me! It's a little creepy. Maybe it's just coincidental? Who knows! But a few days ago, I have decided to start wearing it again on my necklace. Hopefully I can wear the badluck out of it I said! Maybe not...it will probably kill me before that happens!

COMPUTER:

Anyways, funny things have happened so far...for example, last night, my UI during my WoW gaming session decided to freeze up my computer for no apparent reason! It caused me to think that my video card was overheating so I had to replace it with an older video card that I had lying around. This older video card then started to flicker really bad and I couldn't see anything on my screen as it was booting up. Moreover, I kept restarting my computer time after time trying to figure out the source of the problem. Anyhow, I somehow managed to corrupt my Windows XP OS main files. Afterward, I proceeded to enter the Super Duper Recovery Session for the Safe Mode of Windows XP and thought that I should try out the 'holy' FIXMBR command since the CHKDSK command gave me the okay. Again, to make the story much shorter, I basically killed the file table of my main hard drive and render it into a worthless 160 GB chunk of non-readable data! I immediately ran into the bathroom and began to cry up a river! Actually I literally sat there with my head down and chuckled quietly at myself! What luck I have!

After a few hours of thinking and crying...I mean chuckling about the problems, I've finally figured out what's going on with it. I went back into the Recovery Session and basically did a manual repair on the Master Boot Record for the main hard drive and THAT finally fixed the problem. Fortunately, everything seems to be back to normal now. Thanks to my brother's help on narrowing down to the correct source of the problem relating back to WoW and my fancy User Interface customization that messes everything up! Everything's okay for now...

UMMMM....

Well...onto the funnier part of the day, well I don't even know how funny it really was. But I think I've officially earned my jerk badge! I had a girl (those who know me know who I am referring to) today actually asked me why I am being so mean to her when she's trying to be nice to me! I thought that was so funny! I think she must have hated my gut pretty bad by now! But hey, she stood in the cold talking to me for an hour and a half...so go figure! Man, I'm a nice guy and I hate to be mean but when I have to, I will. She did although admit that she was being "annoying" to me last quarter...whatever that means...With that said, I do feel bad for the things I've said to her, but whatever, although I don't think this is going to as planned or anywhere for that matter, nonetheless, I don't think I have any other choice. I really think I'm going to get that slap I've been waiting for soon enough! Anyways, it's a long story and if you don't know about it, then don't worry about it.

SCHOOL

Onto schoooooool! Still hate it! I think I'm going to end up having to take that dreadful leave of absence that I've been procrastinating for quite a while now. Maybe it's time to start venturing in a different direction or path. I feel like I'm just hanging by my very last thread here in CS grad school waiting for something to piss me off before I call it quit. I'm not happy there nor passionate about the work. I feel like I'm just prolonging the inevitable, so I might as well cut my losses before it's too late and that I have wasted more money, energy and time into it. What'cha think?

Oh and by the way, my car's radiator is undoubtedly effed up! Sigh! Hopefully the car's engine won't overheat before I can get it repaired! Dang, I'm going to be so busy toward the end of this week too, a bunch of dance competitions that I have to attend. Time to sleep now! Adios!
