I swear i'm gonna fucking lose it sooner or later...i really can't take it anymore....

i'm talking of course of the army, wonderful piece of shit that it is.

6 months into the army wasn't so bad, cos you were doing different things and learning lots of stuff...but now that i've hit the 1 year mark...with more than a year to the end in sight and the sheer monotony of it sets in...i say screw defending the country.

its slowly but surely sucking the life and creative juices out of me. cause i feel myself growing stupider by the minute. just because i'm wasting 1 year of my life here. No retraining opportunites, no chance to jump ship to another department, no performance based wage increments..its like slaving in a white collar cubicle. except the cubicle walls are 5 metres high. With no windows.

I mean day after day after day the same old boring routine sets in, Just how do people even live like that? Is that what that real adult world is going to be like? if it is i rather go back into my little hiding hole and never ever come out... Imean give me abreak. Ship me to combat even just so that i can appreciate warm food again if thats what it takes. No things to look forward to on weekends, nothing to look forward when i go home...just the sheer realisation that tmr..i have to wake up early and do the same fucking thing that i do every fucking morning and which i just did this fucking afternoon...

And i just heard my warrant officer say he was a private for 6 years of old skool pre3G army...and just because of that he earns my respect for the moment. Cause anybody who goes through that much shit deserves a better life.

"somebody kill me please
I'm on my knees
pretty pretty please
kill me...
I want to dieeee
Put a bullet in my headdddddddd"

"happiness is a long weekend" amen to that.

Winamp tweaks

Ever tried playing japanese or chinese songs your friends give you in winamp but seeing only this ???? - ???? or worse this ‚Ç‚¤‚µ‚Ä‚±‚ñ‚È - ‚ƒ`ƒƒƒCƒ€? Theres a way to fix that! Only works for winxp cos thats the only thing i have now.

First you have to go to date, time, language and regional options in WinXp and select Regional And Language Options. Click on the Advanced Tab and under the language for non-unicode programs option select Japanese, which provides the option of seeing the jap/chinese song title on the taskbar since japanese has kanji (chinese chars) too

By now your media library shld be able to display the jap and chinese titles. Some ??? will still appear occasionally since not all of the chinese chars are available in the japanese char set but you can still play them. the playlist editor uses a diff font from the media library however and for that you have to go to preferences < playlist under there you shld find the option "Use skin or language pack font". Unselect that and under font select Lucida Sans Unicode or any other unicode font and walla! chinese/japanese support. The only thing left remaing is the scroling song title in the main window, but since i couldn't find a tweak for that and i dun really stare at that already.

Now why am i putting this down here? Cause i searched for a frigging long time and found no site that provides this information in a an easily inaccessible form. Plus i'm going thru my mp3 collection and putting proper unicode ID3 tags on them.
