    So I'm at work and I happened to read TDrag's blog. And it kind of got me thinking. I love video games and I have for a long time. When I met my current fiance, I wasn't really playing them much because I was kind of broke and working a job to try to put away some money for college. I probably wouldn't have met her if I was gaming at the time, as I wouldn't have been out of the house.

Well, i called Earthlink, they said my service ready date had changed from the 17th to the 30th.. So I called up Comcast, asked how quickly they could get here, they said tommorow, so I ordered it up. And now I have the internet, and a much faster connection then the 3 mbps earthlink was going to give me. I'm not a big Comcast fan, but they really came through for me. Finally, I can play TF2 :)

Well, I am still without the internet.. It's day 26, and I am going insane. I only get to browse when I'm at work and I am constantly having to hit the back button to avoid NSFW content in ads and such. So now instead of fighting with Verizon, I have begun the fight against Earthlink, my new supposed internet provider. (I'm not sure yet, they haven't provided me with jack shit yet.) So my service ready date was before midnight Mountain time on Oct. 16th. Well, that came and went. I called up last night, a woman with a very hard to understand accent gets on the phone, says her name is Cherry.

So i got home last night, internet still isn't working. I called Verizon, for the 12th day in a row. They told me from all the calls that my account was so messed up that the only thing they could do was cancel my subscription and have me sign up for a new one. So I asked how long before I would have service if I did that, and they say it will ONLY take 10 to 12 days. So I said no thanks, if you can't get it back up for me in the next few hours, I am going somewhere else.

So I have been without the internet at home since September 22. That is 11 f'ing days. Basically, I woke up on a Saturday morning next to my girlfriend and decided to browse digg.com for a few minutes while she got ready so we could go out to breakfast. My firefox returns a screen: Unable to Find Host. WTF! i frantically type in www.google.com. Unable to find host. Son of a bitch. So we go out to breakfast, I am already getting aggravated. I figure maybe it was down for a bit and when I get it will be up again.
