a virus hit my pc hard, as hard as that weird guy down the block who hit his screen with his keyboard because of anger issues.... yeah... anyway, this virus has deleted the registeries and the partician table on my PC. whats worse is that i have absolutely NO idea what this means. the person who fixed my computer tried to explain it to me, but all i got was that the programs are still there, but they wont work and have to be re-installed. well, thats good i figured, since i have most of the setup files or CD's to install it all again. so the first thing i did was try to re-install FL Studio, and guess what...NOTHING HAPPENED! NADA! I TRIED LIKE 20 DIFFERENT WAYS TO INSTALL IT(probably closer to 3 ways) AND STILL NOTHING. the more i looked into this the more i realized that this computer is pretty much toast. yes it runs again, but so slowly that even a freakin MAC could beat it! and on top of that some of the processes that should be started wont run, and those that are pointless refuse to shut down. your probably wondering by now, if you've even read this far, why the **** do I need to know about this!?!? well, all this pointless nonsense means that i will not be making music for a really long time. already its been about 2 1/2 months that my PC has either been crashed or not working right, and there is a large possibility i wont be able to get it restored to normal. in which case i will have to get a new PC, which requires money, that of which i do not have. so, though i am sad to say this, i will be taking an indefinite leave of newgrounds and writing music. im not sure how long, could be a few weeks, but more realistically it will be from 3 months, up to a year if i have to get a whole new system.

Anyway, thanks to all those who have supported me here on newgrounds and elsewhere, and have encouraged me to do better, even when I felt like giving up.

I hope you all have a great summer, and God bless you.
