"...years gone by, dashed hopes and a dream that died..."

I love me some Redskins, yes sir.

"...success comes to the strong, the struggle is hard and the struggle is long...lean on me and I will pull you through..."

I would have liked to have met them.

Turns out my tower probably has a motherboard problem. I have the worst fucking luck with mobos ever. I've had more DOA or dysfunctional motherboards than anyone I know. I don't even screw them up, except for maybe one of them so far. They just either die or are jacked up when they arrive. Hopefully the place I got that one from will do an exchange.

Still no clue what the hell is going on with the laptop, and I can't call it in until after Labour Day.

That's all good and well, I guess, because even if the motherboard can be exchanged and I can send in the lappy for repairs, it'll cost me out the yin-yang (as Dünkel would say) in postage, and I'm broke.

Another reason I hate Labour Day. It's a BS holiday to start with, then I go and lose two days pay because we weren't open today and won't be tomorrow either. I really, really need that money, too. It was probably a bad call to spend twenty bucks in gas to go hang out with Dünkel, but I miss real, stable friends. Plus it's been too long since I've seen that dude, I have to make sure he doesn't get on the right path or some crazy thing like that, you know.

I thought not really having the net would bother me. Being messengerless and all would eat at me and so forth. So far, though, it hasn't really bothered me at all. Aside from not having anyone to talk to or anything to do on the weekends except watch movies and do homework, I guess. During the week, I've barely thought about browsing the net or chatting it up. It just doesn't seem important.

I do wonder about some of the people, and I'd like to be able to get in some gaming, but I'll live.

Ugh...

Time to go pass on that baby-sized burrito I ate earlier.
