Funny thing is, I just wrote a short story not too long ago with the same title as this entry.

But seriously, why does it seem like everything in my life is breaking down or wants to break down right now? I finally fixed the website issues, but now here comes everything else. If we're not taking the car in, it's the computer again. Now I'm backing up every little thing on this damn machine, just in case... I just got an iPod mini last week (a gift), but I should've saved that money and put it towards the "I'm sick of PCs, let me hurry up and get that Mac" fund.

There are also things around the house that have to be repaired. Must these things happen all at once?

Who has time for this?

Technology is sometimes more trouble than it's worth. I just spent an hour on the phone with the tech support guy at HP. I've been getting the blue screen of death - wait, scratch that. There are still words when I get my blue screen, so maybe that means I'm getting the blue screen of life-support. College essays

The tech guy was helpful. I think we isolated the problem - turns out the piece-of-shit program that was supposed to be protecting my computer from viruses and the like, was jacking me up all kinds of ways. It still remains to be seen if that really is the problem. I'm not getting blue screen, but hold up, let me save this entry in case my computer self-destructs in five seconds.

*pause*

OK. I'm back. Sitting on the phone with Tech Support Guy, it dawned on me that I needed to make a change. How I arrived at this decision? Simple, really. I realized that I had just wasted an hour of my time trying to figure out why my computer was urpee-ing up on me. This is after I spent an hour and then some over the weekend, talking to a different tech guy.

I don't have hours to deal with this stuff. Not right now.

And so I thought about the Mac that I had at work during this past school year. Oh, lovely Mac with your OS X. Oh, beautiful Mac that never gave me blue screen of death, that never crashed, that barely even hiccuped.

Yes, it is true that I used to detest Macintosh. I thought they were burdensome and not nearly as user-friendly as the PC. No more. I've decided, if I have to scrimp and save, the next computer I buy will be a Mac. I'm switching.

Out of all the changes in my life that I find myself making as of late, the decision to make this one has been the easiest so far.

...I shouldna left you, without a dope beat to step to...

Anyway, comments are now functional again. Thank God for friends with technical expertise. New entries to follow at some point.

Reason #346 why blogging is more trouble than it's worth: now my comments aren't working. All comments are being labeled "questionable content" and are being denied. I have places to go and people to see. I'll address the problem in a few days.
