That's what I think I'm doing at the moment.
I'm sure y'all are tired of seeing negative posts about me, but this one is allllmost funny in its sheer badness.
I studied music composition in college. Right before I was kicked out because of my hand condition, my room was broken into, and several thousand dollars worth of stuff stolen. my jewelry box with sentimental gifts from the family, and my MUSIC PORTFOLIO, every recording of my performances and compositions in existance, wer the most valuable things.
SO harsh loss, but I'd grown accustomed to not being able to hum the theme of a piece I wrote and performed. Time does that.
Cue last night. Excitement, new ipod, due to my habit of being hard on mp3's and them breaking really fast. I'm soooooooooo eager I take out my old c omputer, that only halfway works, and export ALLLLLLLLLLL my music onto it. I only copied maybe a third of hte music to my new computer because of hte space concerns.
As I have it on sleep timer and am laying down, what comes on? First one composition of mine, then another! YES! The entire time they were in some unknown folder on the computer that i had no idea i'd copied them to it... I just s tarted crying and freaking.... OH MY GOD thats MY FUCKING MUSIC!!!!!
So then I go to put some more music on the ipod, thinking vaguely of burning a cd of htem off the old computer so they'll be safe. And what happens? My ipod crashes, has to be COMPLETELY reset. All songs erased. So they aren't there, unfortunately. Not a big deal, right? Surely my computer can work long enough to burn ONE CD, right?
Not so. Its finally all set up again, and POOOOOOOOOOOF, "unit needs servicing, will shut off in five minutes" and it won't even load!
So in effect my songs are lost all over again!
Possibly that sounds stupid... but you can't imagine the amount of effort i put into writing/recording those things, or how broken I was when it was stolen... Not to mention the fact that I can't play them now because of my hand problems, to RErecord them, though i thankfully still have hte sheet music from the pieces.
Its just my luck. Can't have my cake and eat it. At least i heard them one more time.
But I'm still tired of my late string of bad luck
