All this happens in the matter of 20 minutes.
I'm driving to Jack in teh Box for my cheap dinner. I've been planning to get new brake pads and install them on my car. I've been losing minor brake fluid for the past few days. I filled up my brake fluid before I left just to be sure. Within five minutes the brake light is on indicating I'm out of brake fluid. I get back home to see fluid and a tiremark by my front left tire. The brake line had ruptured. So now I need brake pads and a brake line. Well, I hear a sounds coming from out under my hood. Sure enough I open the hood and see that my water pump had busted open spraying water on my engine. So I now need brake pads, brake line, and a water pump.
I walk inside the house to see that I'm in a 96-96 tie with the Underdogs in the Ville Fantasy Football league. He has Joey Galloway playing for him. He has 2 catches for 25 yards meaning he has 2 pts (1 pt per 10 yards.) Well, Dallas ties the game because the nimrod NY kicker (Matt Bryant) kicks the ball out of bounds. Galloway makes a 16 yard catch in the OT. Galloway now has 41 yards in catches giving him 4 pts rather than 2. I lose 98-96 because of it...
I go to Pete's (Ville 6 was empty.) I end up in a nice round of Avanti with five members of FKNcry. A few of those are 404 guys. On the other team is six members of fxp. So it's a pretty highly skilled round of avanti. I did do better than break even which was nice. However, I'm getting 55 fps in open space and 15-20 in traffic. Needless to say that 15 fps doesn't get you very far in gaming. This has been consistant for the last week or so. Tweaks haven't had any impact. Eventually my cpu locks up.
You think you had a bad day?
I think I've had a bad DECADE...here's to the 30's (in a few days)

No doubt. All that guy had to do was kick it in the end zone. GG Giants, come back while down by 16 and still lose. 
I lost in my other league to my brother, becasue of toomer though.

I swear this link improved my pc 100x.
GTA ViceCity was almost unplayable and now it runs like a top.

The football thing was more icing on the cake than substance. Shaft, I already went through that guide. I'll go through it again.
