OhMyLaptop -The End Of Heartache

Seek me
Call me
I'll be waiting

This distance
This disillusion
I cling to memories
While falling
Sleep brings release
And the hope of a new day
Waking the misery
Of being without you

Surrender
I give in
Another moment is another eternity

Seek me for comfort
Call me for solace
I'll be waiting
For the end of my broken heart
Completion
I'll be waiting
For the end of my broken heart

You know me
You know me all to well
My only desire
Is to bridge our division

In sorrow
I speak your name
And my voice mirrors..mirrors my torment

Am I breathing?
My strength fails me
Your picture
A bitter memory

~The End Of Heartache ~
By Killswitch Engage

My laptop died today.

My laptops name was Central Evil. and it was just that. and i loved it anyway.

For some reason that Killswitch Engage song ^ came into my head when it happened.
(If you like rock/metal its a awesome song! I have it on my player here)

Tragically I hadn't backed up in about 2 weeks. Something I usually do almost every day... It's why I keep a little jar of pen drives with it!!! And why I have spindles and spindles, cases and cases of back up disks from once a month for the last 7 years and boxes and boxes of 3.5" floppies from before that!

Central Pen Drive Guide

1. Central Current: Current design jobs for clients / Blog stuff & draft posts / daily Mozilla Thunderbird email backups
2. Central DigiGraphics: Digital scrap booking & current personal projects
3. Central Home Management: Our home management files, schedules, cleaning lists, family emergency info, family medical info, kitchen guides, you know all that OCD home organization goodness.
4. Central Media: Video game information, walk-throughs, cheats. Media Inventories.
   
5. My ***NEW*** 4 gig Princess Leia Mimobot is still currently empty because I love it so much I just sit and stare at it for hours. [review coming soon! ... now that I have to re-write it!]
   

BUT my computer had not been working right all week so I didn't get to back it up. Hence the missing Tuesday Tutorial & Wordless Wednesday posts. I called Mommy after it happened... I was devastated.

I lost ALL my upcoming blog drafts. This includes ALL 15 posts already pre-written for hosting Alicia's Cyber Baby Shower that was supposed to start Sunday. This also includes all the graphics I made for the occasion. I am not sure if redoing all of this work is possible by Sunday, so I will keep you posted on this. At this rate baby Cayden will be here before Alicia (whose computer died the other day) and I can coordinate our computers both working at once. BUT I promise to work really hard to re-create the whole thing! Then we can have a full 7 days of GAMES, GIFTS, PRIZES, STORIES, and BABY LOVE!

this also includes 17 reviews.YES 17. The next month and a half. SO if you were expecting to see your product reviewed this week. I AM SO SORRY! I will diligently work [well as fast as you can work with a 14 week old] to rewrite and post these reviews as soon as possible.

this also includes Wordless Wednesday & Tuesday Tutorials I had written for about 2 months.

I lost my Mozilla Thunderbird downloaded email. YES I have some of it archived in my GMail. BUT I deleted much of it cleaning out my GMail just yesterday thinking the messages weren't THAT important since I had the contact info on my Thunderbird. ...fail

I lost about 200 photos of Elijah, including ALL the photos I just downloaded from my phone camera BEFORE my phone so mysteriously disappeared last week. [I swear its a conspiracy against me]

I lost my very first, second, and third vloggs. -Thanks to Pure Digital Technologies and Jamie at Commstrat PR Firm I will now be Vlogging exclusively with a sexy new FLIP ULTRA! So I had started my newest feature with some pretty awesome videos of my beautiful face and adorable son. Another lovely thing I get to start over.

I also lost many great programs. Including about 5 of those hidden object games that we love so much. and tons other programs I cannot even think of them all. I know I had stuff like Power Tab Editor & Libra 0.9.2 which are both free BUT the databases I had created to go along with the software... I somehow missed backing up... ummm... ever. Of course it only now occurs to me. Tab Editor contained over 200 guitar tabs for songs I like and have played. Libra contained well over 1,000 entries of our media inventory. DVDs, video games, books... All by ISBN, barcode, etc with all possible information.Other programs like Photoshop 7, I failed to backup brushes, presets, styles, and fonts. Quark express I have on disk and itunes, Pidgin & Notepad Light are easy to get back. I just can't think of what I had on there. AND My Diablo 2 is saved on Blizzards Server so all i have to is re-down the patches after I install it. [its on the mac too so no big deal]


oh well. I don't know what else to say except :::CRIES::: life happens. Some things are beyond our control. We must just deal with them and move on. It will be difficult to move on with out my laptop of course. But oh well. Will keep you all posted.

If anybody has a computer they would like me to review PLEASE let me know! [HEY YOU APPLE PR GUY :::hint hint:::]lolzofthewishfulthinking
