Stop It

I need to stop living in the past. For some reason, the last 6 months or so have been spent dwelling on the past. How much better it was when I was younger. How easy life was. All the guys I dated and wondering where they are. Where I went wrong. Etc.... I know this is the worst way to go through life, and I really would like to change my outlook. I think it's mostly because I'm 27, don't have a college degree and don't own a house. Sure, I'm in college, but it's pretty fucking lame because I'm in college for an undergraduate degree. Gah, I always get like this when I can't sleep.

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong in regard to the background image issue. Once I figured out the problem, I realized the image completely jacked up my blog. So, I decided to have a simple black background with multicolored text. The Christmas lights are a bonus for the season. I do all of my HTML editing on wide screen monitors, so the light bar may be too wide for some people's monitors. I'll check it tomorrow on Morgan's giant monitor, but it looks fine on my laptop.

Speaking of laptops, I'm going to try and have my Gateway fixed. I love that laptop, and nothing is wrong with the actual machine. The battery won't charge via the AC outlet, so I have two choices. Try to have the AC jack resoldered, or find an external battery charger. I'd prefer the external charger, but they're next to impossible to find. I run the risk of ruining the motherboard if I go the soldering route. But, it isn't like I can use it anyway.

Eh, I should go to bed.
