Phew... Long time no bloggy. Well, Let's start at the top and work our way backward. The latest thing is my TV has gone coput!! It gave a loud screaching sound and poof powered off. I thought well... maybe it's just a fluke. Nope, the next day it did it again and now won't even power on. Fortunately I was a sucker and purchased a $70.00 4 yr service plan which is still in effect. I call the 800 number provided by Best Buy and surprisingly enough it was a very simple process even though they address records were not up to date. I called on friday in the evening and supposedly they faxed my info to the local contracted company. I think that's where the fun will be begin. They were supposed to call me today to set up a time to come over and look at my TV. They did not call, although there is a knoxville number on my caller ID but it does not match the number given to me and there was no message left. It was emphasized that if they don't call me I NEEEED to call them so this has me worried. I'm hoping there's no fixing it and I am granted a voucher for a comparatively priced television cause it states in the service plan that replacement parts are refurbished parts??? WTF? It looks like I'll have to call them tomorrow and see what's up.

Next! I finally got my deposit back from the shit hole apartment complex I was in so I decided to upgrade to a wireless router. Not a bad deal. Got a Linksys wireless router and a USB adapter for $152. The problem I had with it was web pages would hang and I was unable to download my porn! We just can't have that! The manual said to set the network card to a certain setting and if that didn't work look on linksys.com . Well, they had the Exact same instructions as the manual including look on linksys.com? The next move was to try and upgrade the firmware on the router.... OOOooops! Didn't work at all and it put the router into a constant diagnositc mode and would not work any longer. So I had to take it back and exchange it. I was very surprised at the ease of echanging it. I thought I would be bombarded with "Did you call the manufacturer" and things like that. Of course, All I told them was the power light kept flashing and it doesn't work. I'm going to try and different network card next but right now I'm still using my other non-wireless router.

Let's see... Movies! American Wedding is Super Damn Funny! Better than the first American Pie in my opnion. The second one they tried to re-create the first by bringing everybody back but this time around only the core funny fuckers were included and Damn I laughed my ass off! Next up... Bad Boys II is my best movie of the summer so far. Just the right amount of action and humor. Shit movie of the summer is easily Lara Croft:Craddle of life. I got in free and I want my money back!

File sharing! Check out http://www.emule-project.net or http://www.edonkey2000.com It's a little slower downloading and not as many files yet but so far all audio files have been full and not 30 second looped and fucked up ones. DAMN YOU RIAA!

July went by quick cause I was busy replacing about 20 peoples Laptops so it just flew by and really not much to say about July except I went up to Chicago for the 4th and had a great time with the family and Great food at the Tast of Chicago. Had my browns chicken and Johnny's beef while there too! MmmmMMmm

Oh well.. see ya in a couple months! :) Just kidding. We'll see if I can't blog some more, not that anybody is interested in my life?????
