Well it seems like I am hitting a string of bad luck. 1) Just found out I didn't win in the US Visa Diversity Program (Lottery) this year, again, for the 5th year in a row I am the Susan Lucci of getting a green card though I can't wait 19 years for a win. 2) The DELL team from St. Maarten called to say that the mother board on mye DELL XPS M2010 is basically, pardon the language, fucked. Oh but it gets better. (backstory) There was an issue with DELL and myself last year where I was having this system built online. Well it was taking weeks and weeks cause of missing parts etc and no one could give me updates so I was like screw that and cancelled the order. ! week later the laptop is in my mail at ICS which means they would had to have shipped it two weeks prior. So I said you know what I am always the nice guy and honest but DELL put me through hell so fuck this I am not calling them about it. I mean it had my name on it but it also had another person as well so who knows what the hell happened. Of course now that the mother board needs replacing the rep in St. Maarten cannot get it from DELL USA because the service tag is not in their system and whyyyyy because they basically sent me a free computer. Lesson boys and girls sometimes honesty really is the best policy so unless I can get this fixed I basically have a worthless $3000.00 computer which I didnt pay for and still cant use I guess its a win/loss situtation. Other than that I have been busy carnival is going well so far everything is mostly in place can't wait to see my costume. These past nights have been rough and I finally got some me time so I sat and watched Pedro which is based on Pedro Zamora who was a gay hiv positive 21yr old who appeared on the very first season of the Real World for MTV but then died on the night the last espisode appeared. I suggest you wiki him he was such an activist and a great spirit. The movie brought me to tears bawling it was humanistcally done. Last night went to a private reading of Tom Judson's Canned Ham one man show and it was really really good. Tom's performance was funny, witty, well written and a tear jerker in other words a two thumbs up dramedy. Tomorrow will be a tough day in the office and I will post that tomorrow or over the weekend because I can't reveal it now. Friday is our foundation's dinner and I am looking forward to that at Tropics. At least 23 or so persons who have worked along with us helping and volunteering will be honored with a free dinner and we wills ay goodbye to a great guy Len who is one of my teacher's assisting students with their GED lessons. Anyway I am going to sit and eat some ice cream and just reflect on Pedro and my own life and hit the sack after. Hopefully the string of bad luck will take a turn until then good night and good luck
So sorry to hear about your computer problems. I toally understand as I have my own to deal with too!
ReplyDeleteI saw the Pedro movie a while back when it aired on MTV and I also cried like a baby for Pedro and for all the friends and lovers I have lost from HIV AIDS.
I'm so anxious to see and hear Tom's Canned Ham one man show. Tom is SO talented. I don't know how he does it. I was sad for him now that he has to leave Saba earlier then planned.
Good luck on your continued work with the carnival. I'm anxious to see and hear all about this years.
