I'm another day late and one year older. |

I'm a failure by design.
s**t.. Just got my dumb a** back online.
So, what should have been a hour-long project of swapping out my motherboard, CPU, and graphics card.. turned into 5 hours of beating my head against the ******** wall.
Mobo tray wouldn't come out. Finally got it out.
Mobo needed a 24pin PSU.. I had a 20 pin. So, quick trip down to compusa. ******** incompetent salespeople don't know the difference between a powersupply and a goddamn orange. They can blow me.
Snagged an Antec trupower modular powersupply. Not exactly what I wanted, but.. it's good.
So, pop in the new power supply, finish the build. Hook it all back up, andpush the power button.. and get.. nothing.
Power connector was loose. Reattached it. It booted.
To a bluescreen. A BSOD.
Old windows XP install didn't like my new mobo drivers.
Couldn't find my windows XP install disc.
Kicked several walls.
Found the disc.
So, ran a repair installation.
Which reset my clock to december24th, 2003. I don't know why.
And uninstalled servicepack 1.
So, got all the mobo drivers installed, sound drivers installed, and since I'd just updated my videocard drivers, they were good to go.
I've just finished reinstalling XP servicepack 1, and now I have to reinstall WMP 10, because it got corrupted.
Erg.
As a bonus, it benched about 7k 3dmark 01's, and 3k 3dmark 03's above the old build. Nice boost..
On a lighter note.. I love the new item update. Personally, my fave update in a LONG while. These whips kick a**,even though I see a s**t-ton of S&M avatars coming from this. Many of which are going to be mine. Cheers, ********.
Erg.. i'm on a brand new kick. Brand New the band.

Brand New - "Failure by design"
Watch you on the one's and two's
Through a window in a well lit room
Become a recluse
And I blame myself cause I make things hard
and you're just trying to help
And when I wake up you're the first to call
This is one more late night basement song
and I'm so sore
My voice has gone to hell
This is one more sleepless night because we
don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I'd sit this out
(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I KILL myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Lets say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
It's failure by design
And we just want sleep
But this night is hell
I'm sick and sunk and I blame myself
cause I make things hard and you were just trying to help
I got no gas(no gas)
Winding out my gears
This is one more day on the verge of tears
And now my head hurts(head hurts)
And my health is a joke
And now I gotta stop because the headphones broke
We don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I'd sit this out
(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I KILL myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Lets say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
It's failure by design
I'm out of everything
No one sleeps till we get this s**t out on the shelves
It's late, I'm faltering
This time I got nothin' to say besides...
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(im a failure by design)
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(im a failure by design)
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(im a failure by design)
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Nothing to say besides...
(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I KILL myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Lets say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
I'm a failure by design
