so i made an appointment last friday, after work, to go see my cousin and help him get a grip of FL Studio. since i was leaving straight from my job, i had my macbook with me.
in the process of helping him out, i demonstrated some basic sampling techniques on the macbook.
i returned home, not 45 minutes after having shown him the basics, and tried to use my macbook.
it started, and all i got was the grey boot screen. power down, power back up.
nothing.
i’m incredulous at this point– i’ve only owned the macbook since the middle of august– and i decide to shut down and try again in the morning.
morning comes, i reboot, and it’s more of the same shit. i mount up and take it to the local apple specialists, and they agree to look at it, though at first glance it appears to them to be a hard drive failure. they break down the costs. basic diagnostic is $47.50. limited warranty is still in effect so a new hard drive will be covered.
data recovery is at least $190, just to TRY. no guarantee that they will recover ANYthing. if they are successful, it’s another 60 or 70 bucks. son.
i’m so hurt. there’s alot of shit on that h/d that a nigga had to EARN.
and i mean, wtf? i can’t get a solid 6 months out of the shit before it completely conks out?
from the phone, to this.
unbelieveable.

anyway. exactly one week til i write multi-thousand dollar check and hand it over to the leasing agency, finalize my lease and get my keys. moving’s gonna be a bitch, but i’m ready to embark and get the proverbial ball rolling.
hopefully i can have all my equipment at the ready and on & popping before then. i need that shit to start up without a hitch.
i’m halfway considering a new PC, something fast and furious, to complement everything else. i know my electric bill is gonna be crazy, but if my calculations are correct, it’s gonna be worth it’s weight.
that’s all for now. apple’s fucking pissing me off. lemme go call these fuckers back and tell them to put the new drive in.
fuckin’ fuck.
