Bad Mojo

Hey folks! Long time no see. Well I've been kinda tied up with nose to the grind and all that. Well the bad news is Winter has bid adieu here, the good news is Spring is here. Wonder why they would name a season after a metallic hydraulic device. Yeah....i'm on to you...you're applying Frued right there. You're saying Romance + Attraction = SPRING!. Wash your mind out with soap! Well spring here doesnt last too long, it puts in a week-long guest appearance (if we're lucky) and then there's the almost 7 months of summer punctuated by a month or two of soggy Monsoons.
I've been upto no good in the past few months. My old laptop, a Toshiba Tecra went bust. I miscalculated the warranty.....thought it had run out and bought a new Compaq laptop. Then I realised that I should have the Toshiba repaired and use it. So I send it to the service centre where they announce I still have a year worth of warranty left! Whoopsie! While they were going at the Toshiba, I was happy with my Compaq....till after a few weeks the brand new laptop started overheating and shutting down without warning (which it still is). Well, now i'm stuck with the Compaq, and my Toshiba ain't back from the repairs yet. I call it bad mojo, guess Bill Gates would call it Nerd Luck!
I also bought a new car. Nothing fancy, a Suzuki sedan. Since I bought it 5 months back, it's been scratched in 3 places and I've changed 6 chauffers. Why? Bad Mojo. Seems chauffers loved to drive my old cars....Landmaster, Ambassador, Contessa, Ford much better, because they would stick around for years. But give them a state of the art, cutting edge, hi-tech piece of automotive wonder (yeah i know i'm exaggerating), and they turn tail. Nerves I guess.
Well thats dosage enough for the time-being methinks......hoping to read your comments on this. Thank you for your comments on my previous posts....except one guy/gal who posted the contents of a website as a comment....to that person I say ....Get a life dude/dudette!
