Welcome to the right side of my brain. My name is Eddie, I'm a 27 year old guitarist from Chicago. I sing and write my own music in hopes of just hearing the words "I really dig it" from anyone. I'd love to be a full time musician but I currently am a computer tech in exchange for US currency to pay the bills.

I'm just using this awesome place called tumblr to share things I find interesting with the world and to give the thoughts inside my head a voice that can be heard. If you'd like to leave me a message go ahead and tweet me @rockstareddie on twitter.

Enjoy your stay.

Idiot of the day... Bitch Edition

Dear Bitch, I appreciated it when you chewed me out over the phone when I told you what needed to be done to clean up the viruses and porno pop-ups on your pc.  It made my day knowing that a machine we don’t officially support needed to be fixed because your employees are surfing websites they shouldn’t be at work.  We provide an internet connection to you and minimal help desk support when it fails.  You’re not affiliated with this University but you feel you have a right to our tech staff’s expertise when you fuck up a computer that isn’t even owned by us.

When you told me it was unacceptable to format the pc because you had financial information on there you didn’t want to backup made me giggle inside.  First of all you should always have important documents backed up.  Second, if this virus isn’t gone soon someone may actually have access to that data and drain your center’s bank account with it.  Third, don’t tell me how to do my fucking job or invent imaginary ways to fix the problem without formatting it.  Your operating system is corrupted.  Our techs have already spent over 20 man hours trying to fix this problem in the past week by running scans that are obviously not cleaning it up.  Put on the big girl panties and bite the bullet.  Back your shit up and let us do our job so you can do yours without glory hole and ass-to-ass picture/video interruptions. Oh, and in the future get a fucking Mac.

Midnight snack and rant

Ok, maybe it’s more like 5:45 in the AM but it’s midnight somewhere in the pacific ocean.  I have my cheese, I have some crackers, I have this $650 dollar receipt from Meijer tonight sitting on my desk next to me, and I have a big fur ball at my feet.  I am completely moved into my new place and happy with it so far.  Everything is just about put away in the places I have given them.  All that remains is some little stuff that needs to be put together, pictures and posters need to be hung, and my fridge needs to be filled up with foods.  I should have taken today off work so I could have finished setting things up earlier rather than starting at 9pm when I clocked out, but I thought 4 days off would have been enough.

Tonight after I had a friend over to watch a movie and see the new place I spent most of my time in the bathroom setting up everything I bought from Meijer.  Installed a new shower head, new shower curtains that match a new set to almost everything in there now.  My bathroom set of soap dishes, shower curtains, toothbrush holder, trash can, etc, is a bunch of tailored corsets like this but also in black and white.

It was the most interesting set they had and was also the only one on sale, I guess it doesn’t sell well.  I also picked up a toilet seat and threw out the old one.  Who knows the history of this house and who has sunk battleships in there.

I also managed to pick up a neat looking space heater that was 1/2 off and mimics a burning fire and even found a nice air purifier to keep pet hair/dander down to a minimum.  About the only room I have left to setup in this house now is where I’ll be rocking out.  All my guitars, amps, effects, are all in there but I need to get some good wall mounts for the axes.  Eventually I will build a bar back there.  What else am I going to do with a 2br house all to myself?  Best part about all of this was the deal.  I was paying the same $500 for a 1 br apartment.  Now I’ve gained a huge 2 car garage, almost a 1/2 acre lot, an extra bedroom, and a basement. I’m also closer to work and don’t need to cross train tracks on the way in anymore. The only thing this place is missing is a washer and dryer I will get in another paycheck or two.  I seriously need to catch up on sleep, but I can’t completely relax until it’s all done, but or now I’ll try and get some Zzzzz’s

Edit:  Twitter is so lit up with Lost shit it’s crazy.  I think I saw that show’s first few episodes and “lost” interest.  So this is the series finale? I hope they got off the island.  Still doesn’t explain why the fat guy never got skinny though.
