			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to drill a hole in my head. I&#8217;m typing this in Dark Room (a glorified, black screen version of Notepad) since I&#8217;m not connected to the internet right now. Wait, maybe I am. But a minute ago I wasn&#8217;t. And in ten seconds I won&#8217;t be. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?</p>
<p>This has been happening since I reinstalled Vista SP1 earlier today. I already tried it once and the same shit was happening. Why&#8217;d I even bother trying again? Did I think it would magically work? Nothing ever fucking magically works with PCs. I&#8217;ve noticed my internet disconnecting randomly even before SP1, but it was nowhere this disgustingly awful. It takes less than 2 minutes for my connection to a massive dump on my face. It had a free pass for a few hours since I wasn&#8217;t actually at the laptop. But coming home to a torrent that has barely gone anywhere and an IM cilent signed off every service gave the current state of affairs away.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going back to XP. An upgrade if you ask me. Oh noes, I won&#8217;t have DirectX 10. My laptop isn&#8217;t powerful enough to truly take advantage of it anyway. If I want to play Dawn of War II and Red Alert 3 at awesome settings, I&#8217;m going to have to buy/build a new desktop anyway. Maybe then I&#8217;ll convince myself that Vista is worth the torture.</p>
<p>FUCK I JUST TRIED SEARCHING FOR GAMES THAT REQUIRE VISTA AND I GOT A PAGE LOAD ERROR FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU</p>
<p>NOW I JUST TRIED POSTING A COMMENT ON A BLOG AND MY CONNECTION CONTINUED PULLING A CARL PAVANO.</p>
<p>I bet it will take at least three tries for this post to upload to my blog. Every day Bill Gates doesn&#8217;t come up with a new version of Windows that actually works &#8212; even though he has semi-retired &#8212; people will die. I&#8217;m a man of my woooord.</p>
<p>P.S. I was going to upload a pic but of course there&#8217;s no fucking way that&#8217;s going to work.</p>
