The Sun Always Shines on TV... Unless you live in Canada

Well, about a month or so ago I figured out that a-ha's current tour will be their last. Yes a-ha were still putting out great albums and touring them. They hadn't been to Canada or North America in quite a while but after the announcement of the farewell tour they teased about returning to North America. Lo and behold pretty much all the concert dates are listed. Keep in mind I've been a huge a-ha fan for most of my life. Probably longer than Depeche Mode but of course not as deep because in conclusion I must say, eat shit a-ha. Really, I've been a fan I've bought the albums and apparently a lot of Canadians have since your albums have sold here better than in the US for like a decade. So what are they doing. They announced a  night in New York and a night in LA... There you go, there's your North American tour. Of course there's like 7 shows all over Brazil, 17 fucking shows all over Germany etc. No exaggeration. So fans get angry, and what do they do? add two more nights to LA and New York.... seriously? I mean not a single show in the MIDDLE of the US, not a single show in Australia, Not a single show in Canada? Wtf guys? what kinda shitty unbalanced farewell tour? Well if that's the way you treat your fans than you can stick your farewell tour up your asses. I'm so furious for all your fans including of course myself. Seeing a-ha was a dream for me and now it will not happen? why? not because you died or something no, because you seem to have a bunch of morons plan your tour. Totally unfair and I can't forgive. Yes I know I probably sound like a whiny teenybopper complaining about not seeing a washed up 80's band but you know what? If De/Vision can play Canada guess what? a-ha can get off their asses and make a proper farewell tour and satisfy their fans. So unless something changes, fuck you a-ha. Sorry Jeff...

Dell Sh*t Again

So I'm on the phone right now with Dell customer service, and apparently the Canadian tech support number they gave me routes to the USA...of course, why would it work right? Anyway, the reason I'm calling them is because I received a SECOND hard drive in the mail late last week, with no information in it, and I STILL haven't been called back by customer support on the many issues (see previous post) I've had. So the woman transfers me, and says she'll stay on the line, and I get some voicemail for a company that is not Dell, and the woman has left me. So I call back, and this time I have to get transferred again, and a different woman says she'll stay on the line with me...I tell her the last woman promised the same, and I get a dispatch centre, who then forwards me FINALLY to Canadian customer service. So the guy looks over my file, and sees what's going on, and says he'll send me a return slip for my refurbished Hard Drive I received (that's right - they send me a used replacement for a new computer!) and he'll forward an e-mail to Benjamin and Benjamin's supervisor about why I haven't received a call back yet on all the issues I had. He actually seemed very helpful...however, I'm very skeptical, since Benjamin seems helpful at first too! But I take my chances and finish the conversation with him. On a side note, I ask him about their return policy, since I am so far very displeased with my purchase, and have only been able to use the laptop for less than a month, even though it's two months old now! Turns out I've got a one-month return window, no matter what. That's unbelievable, especially considering my first complaint was within the 1st month, and I've been waiting on them calling me back pretty much ever since then! So now I'm just going to sit and wait until Friday for a call back from them, and if I don't get one, I'll see how far I can fling this shit until it hits someone's fan, because I'm definitely completely fed up with this bullshit already!
