Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

System Going Down
Love turned on the pc when he came home and it's been up for about ten minutes. Thought I'd toss in a quick post while I can. He's going to take a look at it and see if we can't figure out what the hell is the matter. At this point, I'm afraid it might be either a really shitty virus that's corrupted my OS (and I can't check because I can't get through a virus scan with ANY of four seperate anti-virus software suites I've tried) or...worse, my motherboard is going bad. If it's the motherboard, well, I'm just screwed because I don't have anywhere near the cash to get a new one. If it's that, then I simply don't have a pc. Which, needless to say but I'll say anyway, would blow massive chuncks. No email, no photos, no updates to my jewelry site, no moderating my forums - nothing. Which is total ass. And which is one of the only things I have to keep me entertained during the week here at the apt by myself. I have photos to upload and items to update on my PhoenixFire Designs site but I can't do it. Hell, I haven't even been able to update my iPod for fear it'll crash in mid-update and corrupt everything on it, forcing a reset. So frustrated! It just started happening. Out of nowhere. Before I installed SP2 for XP. Random crashing. Error logs give a memory error. Tried switching out the ram, different sticks, different slots, didn't help. Can't get through a virus scan with McAfee, AVG, Kaspersky - nothing. No spyware, that I was able to run fully with Microsoft's and Spybot. Both came clean. Checked for the Blaster worm since it causes crashing, system came through clean. Upgraded all the security patches, installed SP2 - didn't matter. Just at this point, I've done so many things to track it down...and nothing is helping. It's just getting worse. A fraction of a second of blue screen and then *poof* reboot. In mid typing, in mid-click, or even when it's just standing still. Love does this for a living. He manages five hundred user pc's at his work. And has for six years now. But this damned thing is just beyond all attempts to fix. I should have known when I woke up with a headache that I should have just stayed in bed. Above and beyond it all I just feel run down and run over. Tired, achey and like you feel either before you get sick, or after a long illness. That weak feeling. I need that like I need a hole in the head. At least a hole in the head would mean I wouldn't have to deal with all these damned frustrations! So...if it's the motherboard, well, see you who knows when. Next year maybe? Never? I don't know, not anytime soon that's for sure. If you need to reach me, email my gmail account - memoryanddream@gmail.com - since at least that I can remote check easier then my domain account. Now would be a REALLY good time if anyone wanted to buy some jewelry, horns, or penguins from me. I could use the cash if I ever hope to get the pc working again... (And if you do want something, email me at the gmail account - memoryanddream@gmail.com - to let me know to check the paypal account or to arrange for mailed payment.) It just never ends does it...
