That is what I put in the comments box after the rep helped out.

I have an Inspiron 6000 Dell laptop.  I use the laptop for work, play, audio/video editing, and gaming.  Recently, I have been having troubles with my sound jack.  Sometimes I will get sound and sometimes I do not.  I was told this is an issue with the i6k’s.   Then last Wednesday, my friggin ATI x300 graphics card failed…  I was not a happy camper.

No biggie, I guess I should look into getting another laptop.  I decided to purchase the m1730 for $2945+fees.  I only paid $1380 for Inspiron 6k, so it is a big deal.  Granted, I did get a $750 in instant rebates, but that is besides the point.  On the m1730 I am purchasing, I am ONLY getting $400 in instant rebates/discounts with $100 credit for the salesman who lied to me.  Oh by the way his name is Brent Reed his email address is Brent_Reed@Dell.com and his extension is 725-**** by calling (800) 289-3355.  He said he could get the price “out the door” for $2905, but I HAD to act NOW.  I decided to go ahead and do the deal, but he was off for the next two and the offer expired at 11pm.  Dell’s sales line closes at 9pm.  What a prick!

I called the following day and said I would go ahead and get the m1730 for the price I was quoted on my VOICEMAIL (that will be posted later tonight).  Oh yeah, I gots that shits on tape!  This next representative is  named John Snell and his email address is John_W_Snell@Dell.com and his extension is 725-**** by calling (800) 289-3355…  Why the heck is the extension the name for two people???  I think there is something fishy here.  Any who, I needed to have the laptop “overnighted” and the backpack I purchased sent ground.  I also needed to have BOTH items sent to my work address.  Guess what?  That was the problem…  A simple fix?  NOPE!  The “people” I talked to stated, “There is no way to change the address once the computer has been built.  The items will be sent out on Monday and there is no way to change anything on the order.  You cannot cancel the order at this time either.”  Alright, I get it.  I will receive the laptop on Tuesday then; SWEET!  NO!  You see Dell sends EVERYTHING out ground.  Even if you pay the extra charge for 2 day or next day service, you will not receive the merchandise before the 2-5 day window.

I guess the whole point of the story is not to order ANYTHING over the phone through Dell.  The reps screw the order up every time.  I called to order a set of headphones the week before and they got sent to my work address and not my home address.  How hard is it to understand what I am saying to you!  I guess the moral of the story is Dell needs to have American’s who speak English as a first language.  I have been treated so bad for spending almost $3000.  I used to recommend Dell for their products and costumer support.  As of today, I cannot ever recommend them for anything.  If you are in the market for a new laptop, I would suggest HP.  They are cheaper and just as good quality.  FUCK DELL!!!  I will NEVER purchase another computer for your company.

In the words of Ben. “I don’t think you want to FUCK WITH ME!!!”

I was also able to purchase most of the items to finish the basement. I purchased the plans for the bar (which is friggin awesome!), miscellaneous items hanging on the walls, dry lock paint, custom table plans, extra lightning, and the epoxy for the basement floors. One thing I learned about being a home owner is the extra responseability in taking care of your property. I know we need to finish the upstairs, but we are so close in finishing the basement. Well, I guess we are almost done with the kitchen (for now at least). Plus I am dreading the day we finish the floors on the lower level;lol!

Finally, I mowed the lawn (which was WAY over due) and headed over to my aunt and uncle’s to drop off Mike’s birthday card. All in all, I was able to complete and bunch of tasks. SHIT!!! I forgot to hit up the PO Box…

Finally; Finally, I have some GREAT news!!! Blake from section86.com had his podcast “It Burns When I Pee” reviewed on Bubba the Love Sponge’s show!!! FUDGE YEAH!!! Congrads Blake!!! This is a great step for you and our little project Section_86.

A big thank you goes to everyone who has supported all the talents/hosts through the last 2 years. It has been GREAT and I hope we continue this project! Now if we can only get paid. LOL!

Until next time, take care.

I have been working at another theater company in Pekin, IL. I really like the fact everything is not put upon my shoulders. Wow, I really like the job. Everyone there is nice and my boss is really kewl. I started skating again. Someone said something about trying out for a pro team. I know I am not that good, but then I thought that trying out for a pro team is something I tried.

I was told recently, “You are lucky. I have trouble being able to talk to people. For some reason, you never have had a problem like that. I really hate you for that… I feel now the reason you do not have problems like that and the reason everyone likes is you have charisma.” The funny thing is that it is from a friend that I have not talked to or seen in 4+ years. Do I have charisma? I guess I do. What the fuck does that word mean?

Charisma means:

A personal attractiveness that enables you to influence others

A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular  devotion and enthusiasm.

Personal magnetism or charm: a television news program famed for the charisma of its anchors.

An extraordinary power, such as the ability to perform miracles, granted  by the Holy Spirit.

Do I have those powers? I doubt it. I hope that I keep most people happy, but do I really have charisma?

I have finally come to terms with something that happened 5.5 years ago. I will be taking the next steps really soon. This time it is not a joke. I really love her. I will ask her parents again because I asked so long ago. I really miss seeing her everyday. Soon that will not be a problem. I LOVE YOU! You know who you are

I just got a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). Let me tell you that it is the coolest thing ever. I can pause live TV and more. I love it. Super Bowl at my crib!!!
