Nothing going my way.

After this weekend's debacle, I figured it couldn't get much worse.  Of course, the universe decides to prove me wrong.  I bought a wireless adapter for my Xbox 360 about a week ago and it arrived two days ago.  Today I decided to try set it up.  Seems like a simple and great idea.  Plug it into your Xbox and you can connect wirelessly to your network and stream music and videos from your PC.  I had a problem since the only ethernet cable I had runs about 100+ feet;  ten of which I need.  So there's 90+ feet of cable laying around waiting to cause an accident.  This adapter would eliminate all that mess.  Sounds like a great idea right?  Fairly easy to set up.  Plug in and go.














I was very excited to watch all my shows through my Xbox without having to flash everything and then plugging it in.  So continuing with the story, I plugged everything and I was good to go.  I turned on my Xbox and it froze.  No big deal.  It's happened before a few times.  Turned it off and back on.

Not as bad as the RROD I guess, but still.  You never want to see that happen.  So now my Xbox is dead.  Clearing my weekend schedule (as if I actually had plans to clear anyways) to fix this bastard so all my Xbox stuff doesn't go to waste.  If nothing works I still haven't ruled out buying another Xbox.  One that will be legit in case I do get the RROD.  I already regret flashing my Xbox.  I don't even play that many games on it and the ones I do play I wouldn't mind waiting for them to get dirt cheap to buy.

I was so ready to forgive the events that occurred this weekend.  I said to myself, "It's all just material things.  They can all be replaced."  And then, my Xbox dies.  What a horrible month for electronics.  And my laptop died?!  What is going on?  We're only half way through the month!  The universe is testing my patience. 

Until next time,

*Rub rub*

that sucks. I hate when electronics don't work the way they are supposed to. Becomes a huge time and money drain.

LoLed when I saw that bald head though. Keep up the good work so I can laugh myself some six-pack abs
