I don't know what to say. That's not fair and it's awful and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Spending $8.50 on a block of cheddar cheese today. Did I still buy it? Yes, but it made me want to kick some rocks.

My second oldest maternal uncle died after a prolonged battle with mestastized testicular cancer. The doctors advised him to stop treatments last month because the tumors were no longer responding to treatment. He died this morning after a week of being in and out of consciousness. My mom is in Germany right now and was there when he passed. He was the second child and my mom was the third I am sad.

Sorry dude. You already know that I wish I could fuck cancer in its testicles, theoretically.

I know, mang, you were both diagnosed around the same time, he was just never able to beat it which is why it was an emotional time period. I just really fucking hate cancer, but it makes me appreciate the time I have to spend with those around me and those who fought and won.

Another one of my uncles died today. My mama is inconsolable. I am numb. I want to cry so bad but I can't because I know I won't stop. Please nothing on facebook.

My two youngest uncles went geocacheing in Germany at night, in the darkness one of them went into anaphalactic shock, (michael), Martin tried to give him the epipen but accidentally shot himself with the epipen. So Michael when full anaphylaxis, and Martin had to help rush him to the hospital. Martin developed a severe head ache and was admitted to the hospital as well. Today the head ache started to go away and they prepared to discharge him. He went to go shower and didn't come out, they checked up on him 20 minutes after they last saw him and found him collapsed in the shower. They rushed him into the surgery and found his brain was full of blood. He is brain dead and the machines are keeping him alive to prepare for the donation. They also brought Michael out of the coma shortly after Martin's death. He doesn't know his brother is dead. They are going to roll him over soon to say goodbye.

My computer has had an issue where the audio only outputs to the right side for a really long time. I have a USB sound card though, so I've been able to circumvent that problem for a while, I've just been putting off getting it repaired.
I'm coming up near the end of my warranty, so I figured it'd be time to get it repaired while I still can for free. So I get it fixed and get the computer back today, only to find that the logic board they installed is extremely faulty, significantly more so than the one they just took out. My computer is essentially a non-functioning pile of crap that is less than a year old and cost me almost $2500. So tomorrow I get to go back to the apple store for the third time in as many days and I'm really getting tired of it. And I'm very mad that they didn't bother to test this thing before giving it back to me.

Mac problems. I am glad I am no longer a Mac tech. Those things just keep going downhill, and are increasingly difficult to work on/with. Sorry about your troubles man. I interned for a couple years in an organization that had hundreds of Macs, and worked on a wide variety of Mac products. I guess they serve their purposes for media etc, but other than that I would never recommend buying one. I hope you got the extended warranty.

I kind of think this problem was caused by using a refurb logic board, because for some reason they're allowed to do that and then not check if the part is functional. Aside from actually getting repairs done (which has been few and far between for me), I've been pretty happy with Apple in every other aspect. They just need to step up their game when it comes to repairs, because it's stuff like this that really upsets long time customers like me. Luckily I don't have any important work to do in the next day or two, or I'd be furious with them. They essentially took my fully working, nice computer and made it unusable.
And I can't really afford the extended warranty at the moment, although I wish I could. My original year's warranty only lasts for another few weeks.

Speaking of rocks..
My grandma died this morning, so I'm catching a flight to North Dakota for the funeral on friday afternoon. She's had alzheimer's for a few years so it's no real shock, but it still sucks. That also means I won't be able to chill with you guys this weekend. Then later this morning, I got in a big pointless argument with my girlfriend for no good reason, and then rode my bike across town for a free massage that I was really hoping would start to turn my day around, that I was told would be booked for me, but wasn't. Now I'm back at home stressing out because I have $60 in my bank account and if I don't get the job I just put in a bid for then I have no idea how I'm going to pay rent next month.
I'm feeling really shitty and there's not much I can do about it. Today is a really bad day.
It does feel good to get that off my chest though! This thread serves its purpose well.

I am so sorry about your grandma. And everything else, but it is so hard to lose someone you love.

The boyfriend and I made the decision to end things last night. It's been slowly coming on for a while now but that doesn't make this any easier.
I know too many sad songs.

(This is kind of a lame thing to say but if we're friends on Fb could you not mention anything on there? Not sure if his family knows yet.)

Burrito's journey to New Mexico is a solo one, I think we're both hoping that things will work out in the future when he returns but for now this is basically the end of six years of love/togetherness and it's nothing short of devastating. Let's console eachother via internets and real lifes. Biiiiig Hugs! (I'm going to need so many hugs )
