Moved out...Vacancy

I decided to clean up my hard drive today and delete a bunch of files, progs, etc I don't need anymore to free up some space so I could put my CD collection on my laptop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE!!*@@*&@#*!@*&!#!^!&!&@#!@#@*&#
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I have hosed my laptop up royally. Specifically relating to two programs it seems.
ANYTHING requiring java on the internet, and windows media player. Yes, dripping with irony since windows media player is WHY I was doing this spring cleaning in the first place.
Let me try to emphasize the severity and extending complications this present.
A) Nothing utilizing java on the internet works...such as:
1) chat here on asylum
2) any porn site that uses java i.e. ALL OF FRIGGIN THEM, and so no
masturbating for me
3) My Yahoo MAIL apparently uses java since when i go to my inbox all
I see is A BLANK WHITE PAGE
B) Windows Media Player
1) I just downloaded msn messenger and it was cool cuz it would tell
privilleged members what I was listening to at the moment.
The error I get with Windows media player is "INTERNAL APPLICATION ERROR" everytime I try to launch it that pops up. I have deleted, reinstalled and deleted ad nauseum and still the message appears.
I've deinstalled and reinstalled IE and still all I get are blank white pages or absolutely nothing happens where magic java should be happening.
Also, a lot of my folders are blank...even though they are not empty. It's like the icons aren't showing up but they are still their original size.
Excuse me while I cry like a little school girl and I don't care who knows.
Is there any help out there? I know there is sarcasm and insults and petty mockery...but is there help too?
::sob::

I wrote that to a friend earlier today, and I realized it was a very good question.
What is the difference between want and need. How do you know/tell when you want something or need something.
First, let me go get a dictionary and see what old man Webster has to say on the subject...
Ok, actually it's American Heritage's definition (yet another reason to damn the abomination of modernization!!!)
want (wnt, wônt) KEY
VERB:
want·ed , want·ing , wants
VERB:
tr.
To desire greatly; wish for: They want to leave. She wants a glass of water. See Synonyms at desire.
To desire (someone to do something): I want you to clean your room.
To request the presence or assistance of: You are wanted by your office.
To seek with intent to capture: The fugitive is wanted by the police.
To have an inclination toward; like: Say what you want, but be tactful.
Informal To be obliged (to do something): You want to be careful on the ice.
To be without; lack. See Synonyms at lack.
To be in need of; require: "'Your hair wants cutting,' said the Hatter" (Lewis Carroll).
Don't you just love the cute fuzzy examples they give?
And Need as defined:
Wow, first thing that strikes me...Need is NOT a verb! I never realized this, did you? Strike that last sentence, beneath this definition was the verb form which is simply to be in the need or want...
need (nd) KEY
NOUN:
A condition or situation in which something is required or wanted: crops in need of water; a need for affection.
Something required or wanted; a requisite: "Those of us who led the charge for these women's issues ... shared a common vision in the needs of women" (Olympia Snowe).
Necessity; obligation: There is no need for you to go.
A condition of poverty or misfortune: The family is in dire need.
============================================================================
So there are the two definitions.
Slight aside here: Funny (to me anyway, how the first example of want is wanting to leave...maybe I'm not the only jaded soul out there...apparently one of them works for American Heritage )
The difference between want and need. Almost seems to be an analysis, rather than a condition. I mean, the person in need or want, does not know whether they are in need or want. The whole forest for the trees analogy. It is only after the moment, after the need or want has been satisfied can you truly analyze whether it was a need or a want.
Anyway, I believe there are a lot of angles to this, and I would love to hear different viewpoints as I believe I'm learning that blogs are not for expression...but sharing.
Perhaps blogs are the computerized friends of the not so distant future.
Sounding boards for people to express their doubts, ambitions, oddities, sunken heart feelings, unrequited wants/needs, and imponderables.
These things that you only share with those you trust, your confidant, your mentor, your soulmate, your cosmic friend, the kind of friendship that transcends earthly bodies or minds.
I believe they exist.
There are far too many cosmic connections that have persevered through the millenia and continue to persevere even through this metallic, alacritous, (not the cheerful meaning)apathetic, hollow, emotionless null, modern age.
People still CONNECT.

Why doesn't Einstein mention loneliness in his theory of relativity. After all, what is relative when loneliness distorts the picture like shards of a shattered window...or shattered heart?
If E truly does equal MC squared, then how do you solve for loneliness? Relativity does seem to imply that you don't have to be alone to be lonely. Many people are lonely, but not alone. And of course every mathematical equation has an exception. This being that it is possible to be alone, but not lonely and the reciprocal is also obviously true.
Time is theorized to be relative to gravity. A dense, molecular, anti-structure inescapably drawing all objects, all life, all love, into the eventuality of disappearing. The ultimate eventuality of nothingness. Yet if all is bound for nothingness, then nothingness equals all and therefore, by the theoretical property of reflexiveness, everything = everything. Therefore, love = loneliness, life = death, empty spaces = hollow chambers of a heart, and it would not be prepostorous to continue that love = nothingness...thus loneliness = love.
Where does that leave us as humans. What part of the equation are we? What variable have we been assigned? As a variable, we are catapulted to a single solution that is unavoidable, unchanging, eternal, yet may only be expressed as a relation to another variable. Thus, two variables, both unknowns, are the only solvable solution, yet are not solutions, only unknowns. In math, an unknown can be the answer, so why not think that life and death are anything but variables? Uknowns whose only solution is the relation to each other...solvable, without solution.
Life and death = Time and loneliness.

Thank you for those that posted. A few housekeeping items right up front. Thanks to the nuturing, maternal coddling from CW and SSimon, the whole 'z' thing and anything else that may be deemed aohellish is a phase I have passed through. (think kidney stone)
As for being relevant and having something worthy of a blog, I will post with haste as soon as something relevant or actually anything happens in my life.
...hmmm, to delay there being nothing to write about, can I make stuff up? I mean you guys will never know...HA!
Oh, and thanks for the chat and nice meeting everyone. I don't mean that quite as superficially as it sounds either.
The end.
