So yesterday, my grandfather was sent to the hospital. He's 86, and probably the toughest guy I know. This man has suffered from eleven strokes, 3 major, the rest minor, and has lived up to his age. Just before being sent to the hospital, he was still tending to his gardens he has. It's really because of him that I would love to go to Scotland, where he was born and raised. It was so sad seeing someone so strong slowly deteriorate... He's having major heart problems, and they can't guarantee how long he has...

And speaking of, my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's nearly 10 years ago. She's about 84, but she doesn't remember me now. I'm just that "tall guy" who "just seems to get taller". My other grandma died the same way as well, but we had to put her in a nursing home yesterday. (The same one my other grandma went to) She was also from Scotland.

They're still around, so I'm going to try and visit as much as possible. I love my family, and it's always hard to see someone go.

ALSO:

Seems like we're in the middle of a thunderstorm. I might be on and off this site due to power being raped by lightning.

what I will never do again.

I'M SARDONICSAMURAI'S NEW FLASH. CLICK ME AND I'LL GET HOT.

My links are more annoying then your links.

Again.

Update: Might submit something to the portal tomorrow.

God I hope it comes out today, so that I'm not tempted to watch it on the day MGS4 actually comes out.

T_T

(Planning on playing it with a friend on his new 32'')

:D

Update: I guess it's gonna be here the 12th... or later T_T

Update 2: Yup, it'll be later.

*Cries*

Cable Guy couldn't fix it. We still have random disconnections between 1-9pm (on average)

Also, allergies suck ass. I've been sneezing so hard... I woke up at 6am today, sneezed, and then blood started running... nice...

Was sick while working yesterday, worked in 85+ degrees Fahrenheit weather (humid), feeling like I was going to puke, so I come home, start feeling better, but then fall asleep at like, 7-8pm... and just woke up... at 1am... greeeat...

I'm so not going to have a hard time going to sleep for work...

*sigh*

Update: After 3 year, my laptop has gone kaput... Great...

Internet Update: ???

My connection is still random. I spent an hour on the phone with Time Warner Cable, and they still haven't a clue as to what's causing it. The lady I spoke with did say there would be some people working on the lines near us, so hopefully that fixes everything. I scheduled for a free checkup as well, so they'll be coming to our house, checking our modem and lines, as well as our outside lines. I just okay'd the check. My dad has said no every single time I ask if they can check what's wrong, even though it's free. Hopefully by Saturday, they find out why I randomly disconnect, and why I get an avg of 150kb/s rather than what we're paying for: 1.5mb/s

My internet was down almost all day yesterday, and the times I was able to get on, I was bumped off. I wish I could convince my parents to get a new cable provider, but they're stubborn...

Other Shit Update: ...

I spent 3 hours on the phone negotiating bringing down some credit card interest. I used $500 (the limit) on a card to buy my computer. At the time, I was working 35-40 hours a week, and was just getting ready to go back to college. Well, once I paid for it, almost immediately after I had Target demote me from the electronics specialist to working everywhere at 15-20 hours a week. That, and I had to pay for college. So I went from having to pay $500 on this card to $786.49. I negotiated them down to $615.74, which I had to go through several supervisors to get. I paid that off in full, so I have a $0 balance on my card, and I cancelled it.

I have just over $100, and won't get a paycheck until not this friday, but next. Ugh, at least I'm back at 30+ hours a week...

... and their inability to provide a STABLE fuckin' CONNECTION

I stopped counting once I was disconnected for the 20th time. (and checking my router, it was saying it wasn't able to connect...

ALSO: WHILE WRITING THIS, MY INTERNET WENT DOWN. A WOOOO FUCKIN' HOOO.
