I was having a look at my website statistics and noticed a new incoming link from The Vestige. This a blog where the author, Charles Bice-Bey discusses the impact of blogs on journalism.
Charles must have been bumped on the head the other day which must have caused him to totally forget about that blog he was going to write about when he decided to write about my blog instead and wrote:
Strange, I feel as if there is some sort of feeling of being entertained as if I am watching TV or better yet a juicy tabloid. She is not famous but just think of the possibilities.
Possibilities of me being famous? Hey, one may not ever know what may happen in the future…
Charles also states that he finds it interesting that my blog invokes various feelings from many people.
I find this somewhat interesting myself because I don’t even now 99% of my readers and they do not really know me… They only know what they have read and seen. Yet many of them would send me their thoughts and opinions via an email, instant messaging or a comment on a relative blog post about what I have done online, what I had written about, or whatever else I had posted on my blog and website. Most have good things to say and others do not have anything nice to say at all, let’s just say that I’ve had my share of “Hate mail” throughout the years of having a public online presence…
I plan to write a post that will involve the subject of receiving “Hate mail” and the actions that some take towards this type of feedback. It is a funny yet annoying topic for me but I really feel like typing out and posting my thoughts about it and the drama I’ve witnessed that goes with those who react in certain ways to their “Hate mail”. All in all; I just don’t get it!
I enjoy getting feedback about anything in regards to my blog and website, whether it be good or not. And I encourage those reading this to send me their thoughts and opinions about my website.
My eyes can barely stay open and thoughts are running through my mind. Thoughts about my life and what may become of it or are they thoughts of how I would like my life to be in the future? I don’t know. But what I do know is that my life has changed and that it won’t stop changing even in the slightest way.
What the fuck am I on about?! I’m half asleep and don’t even know what I am writing right about now, or do I? Fuck knows.
My computer blew up this afternoon.
I sat down at my little desk and turned on my computer. I entered my password at the Windows logon screen and waited for it to load… Yet it didn’t, it just went off. So I pushed the power button again but it didn’t turn on. I thought that maybe something was up with the power cable and that maybe unplugging it from the tower and plugging it back in would work. So I sat on the floor and put my hand over and behind the tower and just as I was pulling towards me, ever so slightly; it happened…
It buzzed and cracked with blue sparks coming from the power supply and then it blew, for lack of a better word. The power of the house went out and smoke that resembled that of a lit cigarette streamed out from behind my computer tower.
I quickly called my father and told him what had happened. He then called me right back and told me to get ready to take it to the computer repair store. I unplugged my monitor, webcam, speakers, keyboard and mouse while I hoped that each were not harmed. Thank God that my external hard drive was unplugged, I had just picked it up yesterday from the post office (Cameron gave me an external hard drive Christmas!) and I had backed up only about half of my files onto it last night.
The guy at the service station of the computer store tested the power supply, motherboard and RAM… All were blown. He said that my two 40GB hard drives should be fine and so that is what I brought back home with me. Hopefully they are fine and that I could transfer the files to the hard drive of a new computer; that is as soon as I can get one.
I don’t know when I will be getting a new computer as I only have about R300 and my parents have to pay for other things that are far more important anyway. Hopefully it will be soon though.
So I guess that this here website is on a hiatus until I have a new computer and internet access setup in my bedroom. I’ll be using my father’s computer to browse the web a little every now and then. I don’t feel like blogging that much after how terribly my new year had started off… Things have drastically changed between Victor and I. Oh and I am now living with my parents because I had to move out of the apartment. I will be writing about all that sometime but it will be a private post or members only.
I’ve been thinking about making some things only visible to those who I think are worthy of access to my most private thoughts and other personal things. I’ll see…
Things have drastically changed between Victor and I… In just one day! I’ll write up a blog post when I am feeling better about everything that has happened.
Updated my “Author” sidebar module and information about Victor on the “The Cast” page.
