a word of encouragement

Rev. Mensa Otabil posted this on facebook and i find it encouraging:

RUN YOUR RACE. While others rush in haste, STAY IN YOUR TRACK. Refuse to be envious of other people’s success. REJOICE WITH THOSE WHO REJOICE. Remember: Blowing out another's candle will not make yours shine brighter. Light your own candle. Some may step ahead of you but…BE AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF. God will not pass you by. YOUR DAY OF VISITATION IS COMING. You’re not late. You’re not behind. YOU WILL GET THERE!!!

Itunes

I don't like Itunes. i had an account 5 years ago. Anyway, i signed up again because i needed to download storyside B's be still and while i was at it, i figured why not get Peter Cetera's do you love me. That was over a month ago and i don't use itunes to play music. I use a different service for downloads.
Anyway, today, i get 3 unauthorized charges to my account. I only get receipt for one and i see the charges in my paypal account for 3 transactions. Looks like some fool got into my account. not sure how. I called chase and the customer service guy i spoke to said he had the same thing happen to him last week but itunes removed those charges. I find disputes with paypal and called their customer service and they said they'll reverse the charges in 3 days. Honestly, when this is all over, i'm cancelling my account and removing the itunes software from my computer. I don't trust apple, i don't trust itunes. It's a shame walmart and amazon didn't have what i was looking for. I'm glad i've never had any interest in the I's, whether ipod, ipad, iphone, iwhatever.

A silver lining

So my door wasn't fixed. They guy came and spent an hour and couldn't fix it. I actually had to get someone else to come in tonigh to fix it. but now it's fine.

I went down to the college to speak to Dr Cosby today. I'd mentioned to one of the students that i was looking for a research position and they said to speak to him as he'll know people at JHU. Well, it was great talking to him today. Great man, great insight, very knowledgeable. I got into 407 by the way and he mentioned that he was starting this program with 15 students who'll be going to the NIH to do research and what not. Guess what? I AM IN!
I think i need to work hard and skip precalc so i can just take calc online and have time to dedicate to other things. i think just 2 classes is ok. i really wanted to do histology but i think it's a good thing i'm not doing that this semester.
Anyhoo, despite the fact that everything seems to be going wrong, ALL is not wrong for here i have a silver lining.

A bloody nightmare!

My roommate moved out. i was happy, had a visitors over, changed my lower lock. Everything was fine. This guy kept repeating over, and over, don't lock yourself out. i told him i never lock myself out because i always lock my doors with my keys from the outside when i leave. Well, as i was seeking him off, he locks my door from the outside because he saw me holding my keys. I had my keys because i needed to get into my car. Here's the problem, the new keys weren't on my key chain so basically, he locked me out of my apartment and he was gone. A neighbor had to break me in. i called him to make him aware he locked me out. He tells me "i thought you had your keys."
What a nightmare. That's one way to describe my life these last couple of weeks - a bloody nightmare!

Can't wait

So i got myself into this mess. I made the mistake of not investigating my roommates background. Worse still, and everyone has mentioned this is the worst thing i did, was allow a nigerian, born here or not, the concensus is that they're all the same. I'm not holding my breath for someone to prove me wrong.
So now i play the waiting game, again. Waiting for thi devil to move out. Talk about a roommate from hell, this is it. Really. Part of me is really happy that i asked this devil to move out 2 weeks after he moved in. Should be out by saturday.
Right now, i'll let this fool have his course. just 2 more nights or one if we don't have to count this one. This time, the fact that i didn't think got me into the this mess. As always, i pray God gets me out. Sigh.

Oops, i tripped the circuit breaker

And boy oh boy. My room is very comfortable with the fan on. I shoulda thought of that last week instead of letting the fool get comfortable. No internet for him, i changed the network name and access password. And since comcast never came to install the digital cable, i'm curious to see how long this fool lasts in this heat, no internet and cable. All i need at this time is a dog to run around. A black mastiff preferably but since i don't think i can do a mastiff, i'm get a black whatever... forget what the name is but i asked my friend if i could borrow the dog for a while. We'll see.

Can't wait

so i had a lock put on my bedroom door. and i got someone to come hang around this place while i'm gone. Counting the days when my 2nd bedroom will be empty.
