so i've been having nothing but problems ever since i got my windows 7 upgrade disc from ASUS. I've been crashing from shit like browsing youtube and deviantart at the same time, or simply just using skype or loading a video and basically simple shit
i mean i could understand crashing if i overloaded the computer by playing games and having a million programs up at the same time, but i don't. It's mundane, normal shit i had no problems doing with Vista and i'm fucking furious and on the verge of downgrading if i can figure out how to.
Has anybody else had any W7 problems? As far as reviews i've read, they've been nothing but positive, so this is why i'm very surprised.
I'm wondering if issue is with the disc; what i got in the mail was not a like, package copy of windows 7. It was a windows 7 upgrade disc that i got from ASUS manufacturers (my comp is ASUS, etc.), since i purchased my computer after a certain date in june.
SO BASICALLY I'M CONSIDERING TWO THINGS:
1) Downgrading to Vista if i can figure out how to. If anybody can tell me the process, i'd be greatly thankful; i'm pretty computer retarded (though ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) succendo has been incredibly helpful and patient with my technological retardation)
2) Paying the 100bux for a FULL COPY of windows 7, not some gaybo upgrade disc that probably caused whatever problems i'm having
i'll be calling the computer company sometime either tomorrow or wednesday to get this shit figured out. |

[Nov. 15th, 2009|03:46 pm] |
I've been getting more frequent bluescreens ever since i upgraded to windows 7 roughly a week ago. The sad thing is that it's when i'm doing shit like going on MSN or some other mundane shit.
I'm thinking of doing a complete, clean install of windows 7 and just installing everything else from scratch. I have all the CDs and i'd probably just save my art and stuff, but i think something must be going on with the old stuff that carried over from the upgrade. It'd probably be easier on memory too (not that i'm running low, but i probably could afford to get rid of a few things.)

i'm better now, but fucking christ i was absolutely livid
edit: i got pranked by one of my friends playing CB4's "I'M BLACK YALL" into the phone. This has made my shitty day all the better haha |

A week or so ago, my Stepmom who i haven't talked to in forever called me right after i had left my Sound Production class. She informed me she was throwing a surprise party for my Dad, since he's turning 50, and would like my brother and I to attend. I threw her a 'maybe' and left with a sort of...neutral sort of feeling in me. Part of me wants to not show up due to the horrible shit that he's done in the past, and yet the rest of me wants to just see him and know how he's doing and that he's okay.
For those who don't know, my father was pretty much the source of some of the worst years i have ever lived, and it's absolutely shocking that i haven't come out of the whole thing emotionally damaged beyond belief. This was namely after my parents got divorced, but there were some incidents beforehand where he'd try to get us on his good side by treating us to a good time and then slandering our mother in any way he could trap us into listening. After the divorce, these events became increasingly worse, and the forced visits always left me with a nauseous feeling in the bottom of my stomach. I'd always try to bury the main issue and force myself to believe there were other reasons i didn't want to see my dad, but all in all i was just scared of having to sit through his bullshit. He had some anger issues, too, and this made visits all the more fearful.
Visits were made increasingly more fearsome when he became more religious in his life, and started using Christianity to fuel his tirades. Some times he would just be reduced to yelling, one particular incident led to him slamming his fists on the table, fumingly calling us liars and that we'd go to hell for listening to our mother. These incidents are pretty much what distanced me from religion for the majority of my life (nowadays, i hold a neutral standpoint on religion; i assume any outcome is possible and it's not my right to say which is true and which isn't), and i teetered on the idea of just accepting Atheism, since religion just seemed so absolutely horrible in the hands of this behemoth.
Years later my brother and I became wiser, and i eventually spilled the beans to my parents, leading to us never having to see him. Interestingly enough, this is when i was about 14, and i think we were court ordered to see him until i was 16. However, i doubt my dad wanted to bring these issues to light, so there was never any fight after my brother and I decided we didn't want him in our lives.
Now i'm 22 years old, and i've had some contact with him over Facebook. It's actually been nice, to be honest. Nothing too gut wrenching, and he's actually apologized for his actions in the past. I know it's hard to detect sincerity over the INTERNET but i guess i kind of want to believe he's truly changed? I don't know. I'm not wanting to delude myself into thinking me seeing him is the FINAL PIECE and will make everything better, because that'd be stupid. I don't like the idea, however, of never seeing him again.
The minimal contact we've had over the recent two or so years has sort of mellowed me out over the debate of seeing him, and i'm really leaning towards going to his birthday thing. I don't want him out of my life completely, and i hate the idea of it. If you had asked me if i'd want to see him when i was maybe 18 or 19, i'd absolutely dismiss the mere thought of it. But it's been a good long time, and i've had many thoughts over the issue. Plus the fact that he's turning 50 sort of just...i want to see him before he dies. I don't think that's any time soon, but it's definitely a significant age mark to reach.
I guess we'll see. |

| an excerpt from my report on my experience of the Delaware Opera House |
[Nov. 7th, 2009|03:17 pm] |
"The stairs became a chore due to copious amounts of the geriatric; a Herculean feat not rewarded by a golden chalice or rightful promotion to godhood, but by the pungent odor of Metamucil and bran farts"
the Barber of Seville was fucking fantastic, by the way. I was in tears half the time, it was absolutely hilarious; Figaro is such a bro and the actor playing him looked exactly like kevin smith in a bad wig
i half expected the play to segue into pot references and matt damon getting thrown out of a moving train.
All of the characters were performed seamlessly, and everyone seemed to be really into their roles and i was completely drawn into the story, despite the language barrier (aided by two subtitle monitors on each side of the stage)
the orchestra was absolutely phenomenal too. It also helped that there was a guy who looked like Luigi in the orchestra and uh
seriously though, i need to go to more opera. It was awesome and i think everyone should go to the theater whenever possible! |

i just cranked out a paper that my classmates have described as arduous in a single evening
i've done all the research necessary and gathered the facts
i think i might need to embrace the fact that i work better under pressure, but i hate the idea of being one of those people who waits till the last minute to do everything. Then again i tend to do that a lot, so
it's not like my quality of work suffers, i put my all into this paper and everything, it's just a trait i never really liked to accept since i felt like a procrastinating goober
but oh well
how are you livejournal |

for my world literature class, we have to see a professional production of our choice (hilariously enough, he included pro wrestling because it's an acting performance. I wish i could have done this :hogan:), and I finally got the tickets for mine in the mail.
I'm going to be seeing the Barber of Seville next week, and I can't wait.
The funny thing is, a lot of my excitement comes from the nostalgia of being a kid and watching old looney toons episodes; namely, The Rabbit of Seville
greg sees professional production because the tv said it was neat
but no it should be cool, its been forever since i've seen a play/musical |

| Writer's Block: So funny I forgot to laugh |
[Oct. 23rd, 2009|04:28 am] |
if my job is on the line i'd probably force a laugh but i've never had to deal with anything particularly terrible when it came to bosses/teachers
if it's a friend, i'll probably laugh along. My best friend has been pretty guilty of using "epic" or the like (which i equate to a corny joke), but he's been one of my bros since high school and i wouldn't let something like a bad joke come between us, especially since i've told some fucking stinkers before.
Plus we both laugh at incredibly stupid shit so i rarely have to force myself to laugh
if it's someone i have no reason to entertain i'm less likely to tolerate especially terrible jokes, though it takes a lot for me to actually come out and tell someone to shut up (especially with the whole me being able to laugh at dumb stuff). I don't like conflicts and i don't like to hurt people's feelings but there's a time when people need to fuck off with their terrible jokes
i find this happens mostly with people who use internet memes as a basis for every discussion they have and can't live a day without autistically spouting out EPIC FAIL
so stop it |
