Legendary Love

Sorry man not on my list

Here come the questions again. "Hey man when are you going to settle down and find a nice girl to have a family with?" Easy answer to that ..... Never. Come on when have you ever seen a lady that would want an actual car in their living room. Well that's what i plan on having when i make my loft out of an old shop. And with my style that i want to decorate it in no lady is going to want diamond plate counter tops or a Japanese style hot spring bathroom. More than likely they would want to move or redecorate my place in to some kind of pastel nightmare and my beloved cars would end up outside. Not going to happen sorry bout that maybe when I'm 90 or perhaps if the lady was wearing some cat ears..... (inside joke).

Legendary Dishes

Yes those have been sitting there for a month.

Well I'm back in Detroit and cant say I'm not happy! long bus ride that i slept through was 8 hours but thanks to a no bus switching ticket i got to sleep in my seat and not have to move or risk loosing my beloved window seat. Pretty much it took around 9 1/2 hours because of some unexpected stops to get people off that were on the wrong bus but what did i care i was snoozing. As i horribly found out on the day i left i had to clean out the refrigerator of all perishable stuff in case we for some reason don't come back. This lead to a cook fest for me to get rid of all the meat i had in there and everything else that could spoil. This seems majorly stupid if i don't come back and things start to rot hell my room mates should toss it out. But i guess that would be saying too much because that pile of dishes in the picture has been there for over a month. I moved them out of the sink because all the trash that comes from washing dished got underneath and started to rot and clog the sink so i tossed them on the side. I'm not doing their dished cause I'm not a maid so they have to take care of their own stuff. I keep my room super clean and i always do my dishes cause i know it i let it get all jacked up everyone would complain and i know have been complaining about those dishes.

I finally figured out why i could never find my way back to the bus stop in Pittsburgh. Turns out that the bus station is actually a temporary bus station and no one ever decided to update the website or anything else that marked where the bus station was. Not only that but the streets in Pittsburgh are kind of crazy! The street is 2nd street that the station is on but it actually runs underneath a street called Ave of Allies. So the GPS cannot tell you that the street is precisely under a bridge that is another street. Strange is all i can say.

Back Again Time For Round 3

Sorry no updates in a while I'm going to get back to every other day i have been struggling with a nasty sinus infection and various forms of the flu since almost the whole school is sick. I am back on my feet and ready to get back to regular updates. Nothing much has happened since the last update well nothing that's like super exciting but i have been doing a bunch of brainstorming mostly about girls / relationships since a lot of talk around here is about that (get a ton of guys together what else you going to talk about) and all i have to say so far is until i can find a drama free girl no girlfriends for me (more on this later). I planned on writing about my trip home over thanksgiving but due to me carrying too much stuff i think i left my cable to download pictures back in Detroit. Not a big deal though ill be going back in 2 weeks so ill pick it up then. But my journey there and back was something to behold so tune in next time for: "You parked your car in the train parking garage for four days with your dome light on".

Insert Hero's Walk Here

Shooting down projects like Dante

I have to say I'm blessed. I some how managed to fight back from eighty-eight percent in the class and a extremely worried and confused shop partner to a 94.5% grade in the class. I scored 3rd on the final and only by 8 points was i from the leader. God is good. Using some mad hustle in the shop and focusing on getting stuff done, we pulled out from behind (despite and incident with me getting hit with a hammer by my partner) and got all the projects done. We squeezed out 2 more additional projects and i managed to come in the top 3 on my shop test to combine together and give me a 94.5! I'm like super stoked sure I'm not up there with the Elite guys but my class room grade was in the top 5 but the shop grades of other teams who completed EVERYTHING that was possible pulled them ahead. Well next semester starts Monday, guess it is true..... no rest for the wicked...... wickedly sweet!

Battle Stations

Nothing like going home after a hard days work.

Went into shop today guns blazing (not literally), and feeling pretty good. My shop partner wasn't so confidant but i was i figured we would smash this out and get it over with as long as the hammer stayed in the drawer. I grabbed some tools and got to work spec ed everything out and bam she was done. With something going slightly better than Friday my shop partner was finally fired up and he was ready to get some work done. We knocked out 2 more projects leaving 1 left with 2 and 1/2 days to go. What I'm hoping to do is get in to class tomorrow knock this test out and hit the shop hard. If god willing we finish early we can start working our grade higher by doing extra credit. I worked hard today time for a nap. Wait the building is shaking guess that severe weather advisory was true after all. Oh well nothing like rain to get a better nap eh?

Mentally Exhausted

Pretty much the same expression I had by the end of the day.

You know, I think its actually worse to be mentally exhausted than physically exhausted. The work I put in mentally at school when working with my partner seems more grueling than the actual physical work. I don't mind hes never actually done any mechanic work, everyone has to start some where but when you don't listen to instructions from the teachers or just ignore the procedure and instructions for something ... that can get to be a bit much. For instance today we were installing the back gear box to a Fuller 9 speed transmission. OK just so you know assembled it weighs 750lbs and is pretty much one of the biggest transmissions i ever worked on. The back gearbox weighs about 90 to 120lbs so you need a hydraulic lift to carry the thing its no way you can hold it and install it on to the back of the transmission and engage the gears.

So we have this back box and the instructions say, "using the lift to support the back box, place the back box gears in mesh with the transmission gears and then turn the input shaft and let the box gears pull the box onto the transmission. Do not force the back box onto the transmission as gear binding will occur." OK so i guess he missed the bold print part because when the back box decided that it didn't want to cooperate he broke out the hammer. Now its late in the day i had taken 2 tests and dealt with all the non instruction reading, step skipping, and hammer using I could stand for the day so i sat idly by and watched the back box being pounded on. When the instructor came to check our work and he went to rotate the transmission to see if it was installed correctly guess what.... it was binding! So with this being the 3rd day we have worked on this transmission and time running out we didn't have time to waste. I can see if it was an error because we didn't know what to do and we just did it wrong, but this was a just plain lets get it done who gives a #$^% mistake. So the last hours of the day were spent taking the whole back box back off and this time not using a hammer and it worked. Bad news is we have 3, possibly 4 more days to get the shop work completed or we wont get a good grade. Come Monday the law just might have to get laid down, either work according to the instructions or I'm working alone.

Instruments of Destruction

I am grateful for being a male ( sorry ladies but yeah i couldn't live with those issues) but dog gone it I'm sick of shaving my face every day and my face is letting me know its not happy. Pretty much every time i shave I'm bleeding from about 5 to 6 places and I'm using a sensitive skin shaving cream. My face just is not every day blade approved or something cause the burning afterward (no not Home Alone aftershave scene here) it annoying and not to mention painful. Guess all i can say is ladies just be glad you don't have to deal with this too.

Smash Somethin'

Well something did get smashed but turns out it was my finger. My partner in my diesel class well turns out he has never worked on anything so hes not quite adept to telling someone to move their hand before he drops a 30lb 18wheeler pinion gear assembly on their hand. Yep have a nice blood blister and my whole finger is a nice shade of plum. Well one good thing though i have master the art of typing 4 fingered! Sorry about the non frequent updates I swear I am going to get back on a every other day schedule. I had to get used to what kind of schedule we have here and get a few things straightened out with the roomates i have here in the apt. But so far after four weeks its not so bad i have gotten into the regular swing of come home, study, eat, study, warcraft, study, sleep. But i swear ill put blog in there some were.... come on you gotta believe me.

Boot Camp Aint Got Nothin On This

prelude to a sweet computer

Well there should be a picture of the school there but unfortunately i kinda deleted them off my camera and well..... that was that. Sorry i have been gone so long but it was a crazy build up to moving to PA and going to school.

Lets start off with my lovely jeep. Right after i decided to go my drivers side door decided it wanted to leave the car. Well i didn't get to that problem at the time but i noticed my brakes were not going to be up to the task of getting me stopped on some of the what seems to be 45 degree angled hills here. So upon examining the brakes i noticed that apparently the rear brakes haven't been working in oh say since i got the car. So after staying up to 2:30 am and rebuilding everything .....EVERYTHING on the rear brakes and 4 trips to the parts store the car stopped like a champ. But now the tires decided they wanted to start getting soft and making strange vibrations. Off to the tire shop i went and $530 later i had a pretty sweet set of Yokohama Geolander tires to handle the 12" average snow fall they have here in January. After those my transmission decided it didn't want to leave first gear. I took it to a transmission shop but they could not find anything wrong with it so they wanted to take a chance on a $200 throttle position sensor. I told them i would wait on it and promptly picked it up and got the part for $40 and after 3 mins removing 2 screws it was in. Didn't solve the problem but hey it runs better but after a little practice of patting the gas at the right time it shifts good..... sorta. After those tires i needed a front wheel alignment so i had a guy at work do that for me so i set up an appointment for 3:30pm. Unfortunately my watch was some how set 1 hour ahead at the watch shop where i bought it so it ended up not getting done until 9:30 at night.

Where that might have ended the saga for the car i still went to bed at 12:30am and woke up at 2:00am to drive the 6 hours to get here. Upon packing everything in the car and setting up the GPS laptop (another blog in its self) i prepared to ventured out into the wild highways of Michigan. after getting the car warmed up taking some pictures with my folks i went to adjust my rear view mirror.... which promptly fell off. But needless to say i have arrived safely and I'm sure i will have plenty of stories to tell but those will come on another day.

For now I'm back and better than ever.

Back on the block.

Working too hard is a bad thing. Since I'm leaving soon (well October) I'm trying to get everything done that i promised and I'm trying to finish my dads car. So far i have succeeded in organizing the whole garage putting the project car in the center so its easily accessible, untangle / organize the air hose from the air compressor, clean the entire thing out and organize all the tools, remove 2 bushes for a friend and cut down some trees, paint a whole house, build a portable hard drive for someone and fill it with anime.... shoot theres tons more but i forget. Oh well now things are settling down i can get back to writing that is if anyone is still reading lol.

Summer Time Fitness.... and Kind of Random Extra Stuff

I will be able to fix these when i graduate!

I started working out again since its summer time and I'm still packing my winter weight. I guess its true what they say "you loose what you don't use". I'm back to my base weight that I was lifting when i first started and I'm sore all over. Well at least i will be back training 6 days a week to jump back in shape quick.

I bought a satellite radio for work and man it is nice not having to worry about loosing my station through out my 10 hours of driving at work every day. Too bad they have to crush the trucks at the end of the testing period even though its wired up with all kinds of thermal couples and sensors its still better than my jeep....... that's .... pretty sad. But now that I'm enrolled in school i can post more on here and work out.

Bad news though is the price of school. Lets just say i could get a nice small car with the price of the whole tuition. I guess you have to look at it as i will be making more money when i graduate so i can pay it off faster? Or perhaps you end up owing so much that the payments eat all your extra earnings?? Oh well onward an upward.

Summer Time.... and The Livin' Is Easy.... Who Am i KIdding?

Wow a long break there but i had tons to do. Finishing up finals, working extra days at work, helping my parents with the company, and just the crazy complications of life. Good news is I may possibly be going to Wyotech (http://www.wyotech.com/) automotive school this fall. Its pretty amazing how every where i got some how recruiters like to attach to me and call me back i think its some kind of sign. I'm not really learning on the latest equipment at my current school and it not going in the direction i want it to. I want to do dynamometer work and or just engines in general and working on a 1986 escort engine is not it. So I have to call the recruiter in a few minutes actually to see if i can get an appointment for an interview to see if they will take me. My grades are good in the classes i took so i will just got there for the 9 months then come back and finish my degree here and my welding certification. This will be awesome because i will actually be learning about more modern types of automotive systems and chances are i can get hired right after school! My current job said they will gladly hold my job for me while I'm gone so I am thrilled about that just in case no one wants to hire me right away. I am thinking of specializing in diesel and heavy diesel systems because i believe lots of cars are going to be switching to diesel and besides that its pretty cool stuff. I love cars and want to go into high-performance but the principles of a diesel engine and a gas are similar enough.

Going shooting in the next few weeks too. That should be fun i have never shot a gun before but think i would like to make long shots with rifles vs a pistol its seem much cooler with the rifle especially bolt action ones. My one .50 cal rifle I'm going to have inspected cause i don't know much about guns and i want to make sure its safe to fire since its been sitting for forever. I will definitely be shooting that way later after I'm used to my fathers .22 first. People say I'm crazy for getting it as my first rifle but i say hey if you going to go, go big!

We have officially opened my parents place by the lake for the summer let the naps begin! Its in Jackson, MI and is one of the quietest places you can snooze. I spent this past weekend setting up their gazebo and putting in some furniture. The photo may look crappy because it taken with my camera.

So in summary looks like this summer could be interesting and holds lots of prospects. Let the cruising and napping begin.

Not Dead Yet

No i havent passed away and no i have not given up. But finals are over!!!! yeah!!! So ill be back to the normal routine soon.

All over the place

A nice house from Marine city

The ferry in Algonac

A sign from Memphis

Board walk on the Huron River

Well i haven't been writing lately because if extreme writers block. I would get in some kind of good convo and when i want to blog about it i cant because I'm at work. But by the time i get off work and go to school and then home, that idea is looooooong gone. Well anyway i started taking my camera with me to work so i can take pictures of strange or interesting stuff i can find while on the road. There is lots of stuff i see that i have to wonder what the heck is that. And there are some really nice houses that are way out there. Like the 30,000 square foot house that's in Romeo Michigan, talk about huge. But i have to wonder where in the world do these people work? Some of the houses are so far out in like farm land i know that they cant be farmers. Do they just make the extreme commute to the city? I cant really talk i used to drive 89 miles 1 way to Tecumseh, MI when i worked for the state, but theses people have to drive further that that. With the up coming gas price hike i will be looking for a 4 cylinder car to cruise in because if gas hits $3.00 a gallon i wont be able to afford the small commute to work that i do. Hey Exxon/Mobil can you front me a couple gallons till next winter?

Random Wed.

• As usual I sit in my car while waiting to go to class so i usually take a nap. Well it was pretty windy today so the car was rocking with the wind. I was dozing nicely when all of a sudden I hear a loud bump and my car rock harder than normal. I lean forward in my seat and raise my hat from over my eyes and look to the left and right. Apparently a young girl had let her door go and the wind smashed it into my door. Well I'm not driving the most nicest car in the world and my bumper is a little dented from where some other lady slid into the back of me, but i didn't even get an I'm sorry. Nope she slams her door looks over wit ha frightened look on her face starts the car and speeds off. Love those young drivers.

• I cant seem to get rid of the cough left over from my lung infection its to the point that its annoying and if i move around too much i cough a lot. Good side..... coughing gives you abs.

• I talked to my ex-girlfriend about our friend ship turns out she just doesn't have time when she comes back to talk or call. That's why i never know when shes here. Guess I'm the only one who can remain friends with an ex and not hate them according to the local census.

More to come later time for bed

Only in Detroit.....

If i move in there and someone comes in they are in for a BIG surprise cause I'm not playing.

Only in Detroit can you not have anything nice just sitting minding its own business. Downtown we have a spare house that was my aunts. Its been there since what has to be the Early 1900's and it has mural walls its pretty cool. Well some lazy folks (insert profanity if you want i know i want too) decided it would be a great place to remove the pipes from out of the newly plastered bathroom, all the venting from the basement, the valve from the gas fireplace, and even the @#*^# water meter. Yes.... the water meter too. I have no idea how a scrap yard will take a water meter but I'm sure they will after all no one cares, this is Detroit.

Sick day / Random Sunday Post

• Since I'm conscious nothing like spreading a little random blog cheer in between coughing and tring to breath which feels like I'm inhaling daggers in my right lung.

• I can thank my Aunt for gift wrapping this nice viral lung infection when everyone told her to stay home i have been wiped out for 4 days not including the 4 days of feeling crappy and not knowing what was going down. Thanks again.....

• Its been wonderful warm weather here but when I went outside to go pick up my check my eyes were all messed up from being in the house so i almost toppled over so much for enjoying the weather.

• I have to go back to work tomorrow i think i will possibly have the worlds largest cup of tea with me again. Pretty much I have one of those huge 7/11 cups toss like 10 tea bags in it and add hot watter. Wait we are out of sugar .........

• You never realize how tangled your hair can get until you lay on it for 4 days. This is epic.

• My ex-gf text messaged me at 2am letting me know she finally got a sweet job out there in California congrats to her and her folks. Can i get an autograph?

Well time for more mind altering medications so that's all for now. Wish me luck at work tomorrow this is going to be awesome.

Maybe I Need To Stop Listening To The Raido

They should have talked it out

Since I'm a test driver I am in a car for 10 hours a day so i get lots of time to listen to the radio. Unfortunately cheating and stuff gets on my nerves (see blog post "Dude You Catch All The Wrong Episodes" Sept. 26, 2006) so of course the topic on the radio was who's having a relationship at work. Now call me naive but i was thinking ah who's in love with a co-worker. Apparently real topic was who's getting it on at work and is married to someone else. Needless to say i was pissed at all the people who called in. One particular lady was cheating on her husband for 10 years!!! If its been that long you might as well get a divorce and go off with that guy. I would rather that than she bring me home a present that get me a free trip to the Disease Control Center. I just don't get it, if your unhappy at home why not say something and try to talk it out? I figure that a lot of this cheating and backstabbing could have been solved with a simple conversation between the pair, or at least if its not solved they could work toward solving what ever it is whether not enough creativity in the bedroom to someones feet stink. Why not work it out instead of going and hurting your partner/ boyfriend/ husband/ whatever? Come on people of Michigan get it together! Even though I'm probably staying single i want to see some one happy. For all you people out there doing the right think keep it up I'm cheering for you.

Autorama

Went to Autorama this past weekend it was pretty nice. Lots of cars this year and they cut out the car sales section so they could squeeze in more cars for the actual show on the main floor. I know one thing parking down town is outrageous!!! I ended up rolling the dice on a parking meter rather than pay someone in a lot $20 to park. Give me a break, $20 just so you can stick some car behind me and i wont be able to get out when i get back? But anyway i took my father and we had a good time. Now I'm all fired up to get to work on my own vehicle. (sigh) Just need the cash......

Happy International Womans Day!

Happy International Woman's Day to all the lovely ladies out there. I don't think Woman's day was mentioned on the local news but it was all over the international news i listen to every day. I guess they love women more in different countries? Well short post today cause it late and I'm tired ill post more tomorrow.

I Feel Violated....

So I'm talking to a friend at work and she decides to show me some pictures on her camera. So i take a look at it and its a picture of someone back with a lot of cuts on it. So me in my own world i thought someone fell or tripped over something so I ask:

Me: WOW who is that??
Her: Oh that's my boyfriends back here i have a closer picture! (she speaks pretty loudly)
Me: Dang!! that's messed up what did he fall over?
Her: hunh? He didn't fall over anything.
Me: Well what did he rub against hes all cut up?
Her: (smile)
Me: Hmmmmm
Her: Look you can see fingerprint shaped bruises on this side! (points)
Me: Wait a min......
Her: (smile)
Me: Dude I feel so unclean.... (walks off)

Yeah I guess I need to get out more.

Random Monday

1. I really am thinking of finding a new job i need more cash i got so many design ideas for my Mustang project i need to do something.


2. My new years resolution is coming in handy I'm getting in less arguments by commenting less.


3. The above resolution is darn near killing me.


4. I still need to turn my taxes in to the tax man I'm just too lazy to take a trip there.


5. My jeeps motor is making some strange noises i don't think its major but that means a trip back to the engine builder who i had an argument with last time i was there so I'm sure it wont be a pleasant trip back.


6. I found my old journal with writings of when i was in love with my ex-gf i cant believe i wrote that stuff.


7. I'm glad some of my friends who are also learning musical instruments are playing with me on Sunday who knows we just may turn the Church out!!!


8. Even dogs have common sense. After the ice storm it took my dog sliding once to realize maybe he shouldn't pull on the leash so much.


9. I could really use the money from the lottery jackpot its like 217 million now I'm sure i wouldn't get that much but dang it would come in handy


10. Life needs to be like anime. 28 mins and some sweet special moves later your problem is usually solved, you got the girl, and you get to walk into the sunset like the man. (sigh)

Till next time when i have something better to write. Time for bed mmmmmmmmmmm!

Can I collect Unemployment for 1 Day?

If I'm not working I can't build my dream loft/garage :D

Man I wonder if i can collect unemployment for 1 day? Seems like every week I am short a day of work because a truck is down or there is not enough cars to drive. Hence I don't get paid and if I come in and surprise there is no work I get two hours and a trip back home. I don't think I have worked a whole forty hour week this month. It its starting to take its tole on my finances so I have once again started looking for jobs. I applied at a parts importing business so i will need suits to work there, and i applied at a dynamometer place so I will need some junkey clothes to work there. Its going to be hard either place because I'm so used to working outside and having some freedom. Last time I worked indoors was that factory where I was going to smash someone (another long story). I look forward to either job anyway. I just hate to leave because my job is easy and its fun but when it comes down to it, if its not paying the bills it just makes life hard. Ahhh the day when i can find a happy medium. I look forward to that day cause then your having so much fun its not like work at all.

Belated V-day Blog

Haruhi has the same ideas as me:

" Feelings of love are just a temporary lapse in judgement. Like a kind of mental illness." -Haruhi

Well its officially past Valentines day. That means countless millions were spent on the ladies by guys hopelessly in love. Well all i gotta say is keep your money fellas. What ever happened to just being happy by spending a day together and sharing time? Now it seems diamonds, roses and Bentleys have replaced time and romance. Gotta make the lady happy? Order up a dozen roses and have em delivered to her job along with the Bentley. It all just seems so commercial to me now. I used to be that way though. One time when my ex was at school in D.C. I sent 2 dozen red long stem roses in a vase arranged by a florist and tied to the vase was 1 dozen large red i love you balloons. People at her school were all jealous i felt like the man but man my wallet was hurting after that one. I always did over the tops stuff. Diamond earrings for our anniversary, assorted jewelry for b-days and its not like i was trying to buy her love it just felt good to see a smile on her face. But to tell the truth i was making her happy but what i really wanted was to just sit with her and watch a movie or hold each other and i listen to her heart beat. It was stuff like that that made me happy when i was holding her i was in the best of moods. When we separated it was on pretty good terms. She wasn't the nicest of people toward the end but i think a lot was going on and distance drove a wedge between us. Do i regret buying the stuff? The evil side of me says hell yeah but the soft side of me which used to roam free enjoyed every bit of it. But some times you just miss the simple things. Walking hand in hand, holding each other watching a movie, Her screaming and climbing all over you at a scary movie, going out to dinner and hanging out with other couples, best of all listening to heart beats. But on ward and upward my advice though is to one time on valentines day put down the roses and Bentleys and just share some time. Who knows it just may end up being the best money you never spent.

Flash some pecs

1 Bad Roller Bearing Trebuchet

Who wouldn't be sore after sitting in a car driving for 10 hours a day then coming home and sitting around and doing nothing. I have to get back into my routine of working out when i come home like I did in the fall. I still have the muscle i built but its gone lax so i gotta get all back in shape. I'm sore in places i have not been sore in a long time. I stopped working out in the fall when my physics project (the trebuchet) ate up all my time because my team abandoned me. But thanks to my friend Dave and his father letting me use their wood shop i was able to kick some major butt in the competition. I probably own the baddest tennis ball trebuchet on the planet. But any way where was i?? Oh yeah sore. So this week i will be in the basement pumping some iron getting my muscles back into working order. After all if i take that trip to Venice beach this summer like i want i gotta be in top condition so i can take a pic next to the sign. And everyone knows ladies like the muscles ;D. So back to the old routine i had; come in work out play organ, shower, maybe a little game time then bed. Yep time to get to it.

Birthday Adventure

Had to renew my CDL today nothing like going out and watiting in the Secretary of State line. Well got to run arround downtown chasing after a friend that got seperated so that was awesome. Got to see a cd slice the fingers of another friends after he was just waving his hand arround and bumped his cd like pocket thing. I was treated to a big fried chicken dinner (mmmmmm mmmmm good) by my parents and an excelent cake to. So today was pretty eventful and turned out awesome. Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy B-day. I guess they are right, "time waits for no man."

Irritable please excuse me if i seem snappy

Irritable…. That’s what I am. I’m not sure why but for the past month the smallest things have been getting on my nerves. If I seem snappy sorry cause I’m not sure what’s going on. I have been super tired lately maybe that’s what it is but who knows. Lately my parents have been asking me obvious questions and I just get irritated because they should know the answer. Perhaps it’s all the nonsense going on with the church and all this craziness and the switching of church homes and ….. blech it’s just a mess. I just hope I get this new dynamometer job. That would be the perfect b-day gift for me.

The Organ Grinder

Well today I decided to start on the other part of my new years resolution which was to practice the organ and at least try to become decent. I don’t expect to become like the man in one day but you wont believe how much you suck after you stop doing something for over 10 years. I can’t remember most of my stuff from piano so im going to have to pretty much start over. Hey but I figure in about 20 years I should pe pretty good. I need a Leslie speaker for it and since it’s a model CV Hammond I need to get a percussion unit installed. Well slowly but surely I will get that done. Since I play by ear mostly and I read music slowly I need it to sound as closely to what everyone else is playing. So I guess I will always have something to do when I get home instead of napping as usual. If you think the organ bench looks a little weird, yeah it does. I had to make it out of some oak boards because it didint come with a bench and i couldn't believe that a new one is over $600. So wanting to be a fabricator anyway i drew up a design using pictures of real benches and it came out pretty good. I guess necessity is the mother of invention after all.

Possible new job!

Possible new job! Yay me!! I’m hoping that this place will pick me up not only will I be making more but I will have actual health insurance! I have just been so tired lately that I haven’t been posting. I haven’t even been playing World of Warcraft and I’m still paying for it. I just got too tired of doing the same battle ground over and over. Is it me or does it seem like every one is having a baby? Most of my female friends are either pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Am I missing something? Did I miss a memo of where I was supposed to go forth and multiply? I think one of me is enough for the world, I just don’t think the general populace could handle another me. Well back to the job. I will still be working at my current job just for gas money (lord knows with the prices these days it’s a wallet eater) and only work there 1 day a week but its not bad cause it’s a 10 hour shift. I just hope I get to drive something sweet. I will miss working at my current job though the people were nice and the work was light. Well onwards and upwards.

Happy Ney Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! To everyone out there who reads my blog or not. This year was looking pretty bad toward the end but these past 2 weeks have been the best. There’s nothing like hanging out with your friends, making new friends, and just plain chillin to get the soul back in the right place. Relaxation was the name of the game with me not having to work for a record 5 days in a row then combo it up with another 4 days off to recharge the batteries. I got to see my friend Ivan from the army and I haven’t seen him in ages. I got to see The other Dave from Texas and watch some of the greatest fights in Street Fighter Alpha history along with some other fighting games. I got to hear from some friends I haven’t seen or heard form in a while. And even my ex-girlfriend came to church so I said hello to her and last time I seen her it was over a year ago I believe. But all in all it was one of the best new years parties I ever went too this weekend. Everyone came by, everyone had food, lots of root beer, and any thing else you wanted to drink. We all told cool stories and just talked about the old days. Then in the morning nothing like waking up and having a cat about to barf on you….and the cat didn’t even have any thing to drink …. yeah it’s as weird as it sounds and no I won’t be sleeping on the floor again and their house. But it was still hilarious all the same and all they guys just pretty much did the usual relationship talking after all the ladies left. Shoot if it keeps going like this it will be one cool year if we can all keep hanging out and such. Man now I can’t wait till the net new years/ Christmas party. Oh yeah I should be back to my usual more often blog schedule. I was too busy pulling off one of my famous man how did I do that special operations to get everyone’s Christmas gift so was a little busy. I will be back pounding the blogs out pretty soon. Stay tuned for more, same bat time, same bat station. (Batman joke)
