      I have bad news to report this morning.......

       Today is NOT going to be a good day....

 This week has gone to hell...... First it starts with AOL crashing every 4 hours it seems like

......... And now this...........

SO this morning seemed great......... I got up at 5 and my parents were already up and mother was getting ready to go to work everything seemed in good spirits this morning, lol well we did have 1 argument over the new fish tank but lol it was a minor agument..... Just worried about when Cycle starts that she will know what to do

         For those that dont know Cycle is when bad bacteria starts to take over a brand new tank and you have to like put some chemicals in to stop the amonia and the Nitrate levals from spiking so seriously to stop from killing the fish. It happens in just about all new tanks.

    Anyways.... We said our goodbyes and she got in the van and was backing out.... I was standing at the sink getting a glass out of the strainer to get a glass of Ice Tea because we dont have any milk so I didnt want any Coffee this morning for some strange reason. And my old man was in the living room looking out the window of the front screen door.

       Suddenly...... I walk to the window and mother stops at the end of the driveway... Normally she pulls to the end of the drive and turns left. But this morning she stopped. And she sat there for about 2 min...

         Then the phone rings...And Happen to be by the phone and I looked at the caller id and I said it said my mother's name and # so I jokeingly picked up the phone and said " WHAT do you want your sitting at the end of the drive way?" Or " your not out of the freaking drive way" or something funny like that and she didnt laugh so I knew something was wrong. She said " let me speak to your father"..... So  I was like "Ok" and handed him the cordless and I was standing by the mantle drinking my tea and my mother and old man were talking and he said  " OH GOD" and hung up and ran out the front door..... I sat my tea down and went WHAT WHAT WHAT? and like sorta paniced...

       Now remember this is 6 am CST this all happened so I hadnt been up a full hour yet. And I tried running out the front door but my old man shoved me back in the house and shut the glass screen door.

       I then waited a min and ran out the door behind him... IN the dark..... in a pair of shorts lol and it was like 40 deg. outside... I didnt care I just about fell off the front porch bc I dont even remember my feet landing on the 2 steps that go down off the front porch.

        I ran to the car..... Out in the driveway my old man was out in the middle of the road by this time I was halfway across the front yard and I saw him carying something.....

..................... It was socks :(

Looked like he got hit by a car or something.

      He was already Hard and and Riger so It must of happened last night.. Socks was the kinda cat he went outside then came in to eat or whatever. Sometimes, he would stay inside for the night some nights he wanted to go out. He was an In and Out kitty basically.

           I basically screamed something .... I cant remember I just know it had a few swears in it ,and blamed this on my parents for letting socks outside. heh.

                 Bc I had a bbbbbbbbbbad feeling a day like this was gonna happen and I worried everytime ( you guys know me I panic and worry alot). that something like this would happen

        Then I picked his body up and I held him and balled my eyes out standing there in the driveway crying NOOOOOOOOOOO over and over

          So im sitting here balling my eyes out trying to type this entry out and Im exausted again. I am past the point of being stressed I think. I know that this isnt a good thing but...... I cant help it.......... That cat was beautiful and mom had him so friggen spoiled he had to be bushed and held and codded and everything I mean he was like the king of this house. He was sooooo beautiful and I mean he was just the most gorgeous cat on this freaking block........

          I dont know guys....... I got to get my mind off of this..... I cant stop crying and its to the point I cant even type anymore..... I am going to go watch tv or something to get my mind off of today. I wished I could go back and restart today.

 ( This Entry is Not Safe For Work or Little Children )

This is how AOL thanks you for being a member for 5 years... Yep my "AOL Birthday" was yesterday! Ive been a member since 10/25/2002....

 This is my thank you gift from AOL.... Sigh.... I was hopeing that it would get better. I guess now.

      Im not bitching to be bitching I am just upset that this keeps happening.

So Hey everyone,

      I am finally getting back on a roll on posting blog entries again. I guess that is a good thing... But.... I do have a bad case of  "The Broadband Blues"

      I just found out that it looks like prob after this month I will be going back to Dial up. Trust me I hated even typing or better yet even uttering those 2 words " DIAL UP". I havent been on Dial Up since 2004 when I first got this broadband internet from what use to be COX internet but now is called Suddenlink.

         My parents just dont want to pay the 52.00 a month to keep us online with the cable internet.Yes. Cable internet is pretty expensive here in Texas. the lowest price and speed is 256 up and 256 down but its 52.00 also.. BECAUSE we dont have the cable tv through Suddenlink so it would of been like 34.00 for cable internet buttttttttt, my parents decided to switch to DirectTv because the Suddenlink ( at the top it was COX cable) was crappy because channels 47 and up was nothing but static lol and it was hard to make out a picture. So, we did the month trial and then they switched us to Direct.

           SO anyone know any good Dialup isp's? I know AOL has a 9.95 basic dial up but GOD KNOWS what kinda limitations that it is going to have. I guess I need to get onto LIVE HELP and find some more infomation about it. I hope thats what my parents will go for.

        But right now they have a very s*itty taste on their tounges where aol screwed me about 2 years ago and it took me FOREVER to get my money put back on my debit card. I finally won but it took about a month of calling and nagging them. I am trying to just say screw it use aol dialup for 9 bucks so I can keep my email and blog and all that. But right now im sorta getting some weird looks from them about that. So thats sorta up in the air right now.

       Right now, at the current moment.. I am on a promotion with them ( Suddenlink ) for 34 bucks, but after 2 months it goes back up to the normal price of $52.01 what I have been paying for the last couple of years now.

          So I guess instead of paying the 34 both months I will just save my money and cancel after I pay this month's bill so I can save the money that I DO have left in the bank and keep my account up there and in the UP and UP.

           I hate this.. LOL I am soooo going to be moody untill I get use to being back on dialup again.... I mean I love how my cable is instant on and its waiting on me to get online and I dont have to wait on it to dial in and connect and make sure my name and password is right and everything.

                      Sigh............. It has been swell cable :(

Its offical.  Im depressed.

   Morning Everyone,

      I was reading on a forum, a AOL beta forum and I was reading about how the beta staff was pissed off that how 95 % of the beta staff got laid off from working at America Online and all that.....

          I mean I know its turned into a huge ad's portal with ADS all over the freaking place... But I have learned to ignore those I mean I bitched about them at first but I have come to accept them as apart of the new service unfortantly.

        And they were going and talking about the future of America Online and where they think its going..

                           * CLICK *

        And they were talking about how alot of the beta staff was saying before they got fired that AOL is very much heading for a dimise and I am starting to get worried about that.

        I mean think about it..... What if AOL does go under and one day, like I said in my post on page 5 I think it is.. one day, we get up and try to sign on and everything is gone? Our Email, Our blogs, or Instant Messenger list, our PFC ( File Cab ), I mean I dont know where I would be.

       I have been a member for 5 years and I have alot of things on the cmarlow330 screename.... I mean I havent had this screename for 5 years I think I have had the 330 screename since.... 05? I think, when I created this screename.

           I mean right now we (As members of AOL) dont have a beta team, or a Development team or even a friggen Journals Editor right now.. I mean I feel so lost right now I dont know.

          I mean think about it....... Thats not a good thing you guys.

     This is not good because, we dont have developers, and beta staff.... AOL 9.1 prob will be delayed coming out since like all but 3 of the beta staff got layed off and I think I read ALL DEVELOPERS got layed off from AOL LLC.

                                   Or better yet....

                   WILL WE EVEN HAVE A 9.1 Of AOL?

       I just dont see aol closing up shop and screwing us out of everything? I mean I am not saying that it CANT happen but I DONOT see it happening though.

       I mean, I am starting to worry.... Is my data safe here on AOL? My journal, My Instant Messenger Buddylist, My Email, my PFC ( Personal File Cab)? I mean just like I said I am scared of waking up and logging in to aol and getting a AOL OFFICAL EMAIL saying you got 2 weeks to get your crap off aol, because its shutting down.

        I love my blog here... I tried all the other websites, and I dont think I was happy with any of them untill I came back to the aol blog and I settled in here and this is what I am calling home. I would be so lost if this kinda Catacalisimic (spelling) event was to happen

          I am very much on Pins and needles with AOL's Future...

        I hope this takes a turn for the better before it takes a turn for the worse?

                                 How do you guys feel?

Hey Everyone,

      Thought I would make a post since I havent been around to past in the last 3 days.... Thats because I had to reformat my computer due to some partitioning issues. heh

       Anyways I am pretty pissed off with AOL......

      Yes, that means everything is not good in Paradise.. lol..... I know I know lol...

         SO anyways I get all my files that I want to back up backed up onto the old computer via Home networking trans. ... I file trans. it to the other computer via our small home network that I have set up between the 2 pcs.... ( the one in the livingroom is wireless) My computer on the other hand is HARDWIRED.

        Anyways..... I cut that folder and pated it on my back up computer which resides in the living room, which like I said is wireless.

If you are wondering this is. This is under

 C>>>

PROGRAM FILES >>>

AMERICA ONLINE 9 >>>>>

then find the SHORTCUT TO ORGANIZE folder.

Thats the folder in AOL 9.0

        Then I came back in here and disconnected the router and the modem so basically that killed the internet to both pcs.... since the one in the livingroom requires the router to broadcast the signal and IP to the other computer.

       So,after I got back from formatting I  got everything up todate on the computer and got most of my programs and I got AOL to be the very last thing that I installed on the computer....

          I got aol installed and then I tried to install my file cabinet back into aol  by taking the " SHORTCUT TO ORGANIZE FOLDER" this folder is where your aol file cab and your addressbook and everything resides on aol.

         Connected to the internet to google how to restore the PFC ( Personal File Cab) back into aol. And found out how.....

         Well I grabbed my pfc from where I had it on the old computer and I tried to copy and paste it on top of the new ORGANIZE folder so It would take hold and would ultimatly put everything back.....

             GUESS WHAT....... it didnt.... It kept making shortcuts and would NOT paste the files back to where they were... I then went into the location I listed above and the files were EMPTY..... they had like 10 kilibits or whatever..... when before I had 51.x megs of files in my file cab. Where I save jokes and emails and everything. all my recipts and everything.

           So basically..... I lost every damn thing that I had saved in there.. Gone, Poof, Finito...

         Thank god THE BULK of the emails that I sent to aol are backed up in my OUTLOOK 2003 where I had them back when I used GMAIL.... SO I guess I will be spending the day today resending all those emails to AOL so I can have them backed up in my AOL file cab again incase I ever need them for quick reference or whatever.

      Of course, half you guys that read my blog PROB DONT use the aol file cab. LOLOLOL...... I am prob like the only one that actually uses the AOL File cab to save my emails in stuff.

       Anyways..... I am very quite frankly scared to put anything in there anymore.. I am scared I am going to loosemy data again.. I wished there was a way I could put all my emails back into the file cab then burn that whole friggen file cab onto a cd so I know that everything is safe and sound on a cd so incase this happens again.. I not only have 1 copy but 2 copys of my aol PFC backed up that I can restore incase disaster strikes again

       So...... Does any one of you know out there have any tricks you would like to share, feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you know!

Good Night,

Christopher

So Hey Everyone,

      I had to write and brag about this......  Since you guys know I am like a huge computer Nerd lol.........

        So I called my cable internet provider, Suddenlink, to see if I could get my internet bill reduced from 52.00 down to something cheeper since you know the times here are rough for me. They really are its pretty hard to find a job out there heh.

        So I called and got this nice lady and I explained to her what was going on and my situation about whats up at this current time and she she offeres me this package

                                     ( see the picture below )

           Yes you are reading that right  8 megs down 5 up...... LOL......

       She gave me a better speed for 34 bucks for the next 2 months then it goes back up to 52.00 which is what I was paying before with the 5 down 4 up... LOLLL

        Basically after the 2 months.. I will go back to the 52 but with a better speed! weeeee Im telling ya its blazing fast right now lol!

                   I guess I called in at a good time eh?

         I can hear my friend Jew and Steve now bitching at me because I have a good connection speed LOL

          Anyways I think I am going to go lay down now..... I havent really slept that good last night and I have my window up and I can hear it raining and man it just sounds so relaxing and comforting :)

Ciao,

Christopher
