Yesterday one of my speakers, the one with the volume control button, fell on the floor and broke. So they don't work anymore. And today the other side of my headphones broke. That doesn't affect listening, I just need to reattach it with a rubber band. But it pisses me off nevertheless. Why do they have to make crap like this? Why can't they come up with headphones that wouldn't break?

Yeah it sucks that now it seems everything is made to break a week after the warranty expires or to be so fragile that it needs replacing every few months...
Since VCR came into my life I have had 5 Video recorders, Since DVD came into my life I have been through 6, on my 7th.
It sucks!

That reminds me of Nintendo's fine history of product durability. My memory's a little fuzzy, but I read of one guy who had his Game Boy Color ran over by a car going in reverse and it still works, with no sound, I think. Then there's another guy who lost his Game Boy that ended up in his yard a winter later; still works. And here's something a little weird: a guy experienced an earthquake that made his TV crash on his N64 system. The TV is down, but not the N64; and he was playing a game called Quake at the time.SuperSonicScientist wrote:SekoETC wrote:Yesterday one of my speakers, the one with the volume control button, fell on the floor and broke.

SuperSonicScientist, that must be because you're buying lower quality dvd players maybe?? 
I've been through none. I have owned none, either, because my parents own 4. So there's no need for me to buy one. Because I'm a teenager. I don't need one. I have my X-Box. Wow. This is a long paragraph. May as well use it to say I own a PS2. And it's good. It plays DVDs. X-box doesnt. X-box needs a plug in. Costs money. CBF buying it. PS2 is up at our holiday house. Damn parents. They can just buy a DVD player for up there. Grr. Now this is just wasting your time. Why are you reading this? Why? WHY? WHHYY? What a waste of time. You're learning nothing. You're walking away from this probably stupider, though I doubt it.. However, if you DO want to walk away stupider, read this, then smash your head on a pole of some sort, ... but don't say I told you to. No really, don't. Please. Please. Or I'll sue or kill you. No, I won't, you're right, but I'll get very very angry. ... no, I won't do that either. But just keep quiet. So. How's stuff? Stuffs good? Good. Good to hear. My thumb really hurts now.. for some strange reason. Perhaps I should stop. Yes. That's what I'll do. I'll stop. It's a good idea, not a bad one at all. I think I'll do it now. I really should. This is getting really boring. And I mean really boring. It's also probably, no, definately the longest paragraph I've ever made on this forum. Yup. The longest. Why am I doing this? Why are you still reading? you're just encouraging me! No, actually, you're wrong!!! MWAHAHA You can't encourage me because this is already posted, already concrete! So you lie! You liar! LIAR! I'm telling mummy! Waa Waa Waa! ... Okay I'm ultra-bored with a headache. I - am - stopping - now. Now. Right about NOW. Now. Oh god, you don't know how addictive this is. This is almost spam, isn't it? Ahh, the good old fresh smell of spam. Hehe that doesn't make much sense, 'good old'.. or 'old fresh'.. yeah, the second one. Hehe, I'm not even deleting mistakes now, geez this is getting bad. I should stop. Now my arm hurts. I type at 100 words per minute did you know? Right now it's probably 60 words per minute or something. Maybe 70. Who knows? Who cares? No one. Pfft. I'm bored, like, really bored, and you must be too, to read all this. Wow.. Wow... Wow... speechless, at last. Maybe I should post? But.. I cant! I just can't press it! I think I'm obsessive compulsive with this post. This is terrible. Really terrible. OH god.. can I stop? NO! I need someone to stop me. Ah ha, it's been a long time, the TIME will stop me! Good on ya, time. Now I'm signing off, I need some trumpets and a few sighs of relief, like the 'oh good god he's gone. At last. I hated him'. Well, so do I, so do I. Maybe I should stop. It's probably the third time I've said that. Alright. I'll stop.

I like free public internet access, McCarran Airport has it, Dayton International had it, Why doesn't Denver have free internet? Hopefully things will have changed in the last few months. If not, I had better break out a book.
Alark now, onward to Denver.
On the up side AIRPLANES ARE AWESOME! I can go across the country in one day and it only costs me one arm and half a leg.

Well, on a good day that is. With what the world is coming to, it could very well end up costing you more. Seriously, can't we just stop using oil already? Lets get some damn alternate energy, and once we stop giving them money i think the terrorists will stop attacking - because they wont be able to!
I remember when you could show up to an airport a ten minutes before boarding to check in, and breeze through security. that was what, six years ago?
