House!

I've been watching a lot of house recently. Trying to finally get through those episodes that my brother gave me. He gave me all of the seasons. :) Love my brother.

So I'm kind of crazy and decided I wanted to do a VR6 swap into my bus. It'd cost just about as much as rebuilding the current engine because so that's the main thing. It'd be cheaper for the end result for what I want to do with the bus in the end. So it's awesome.

Work cut some of my hours. Well... they have been for the past two weeks so far. It's been giving me time to do other things, but I've been really lazy and haven't really done crap. :( I need to get off my ass and start making T-Shirt designs, making my dad's website for his band, and fixing my bus/car.

It's Raining!

Not only outside but all over the place. My bus decided to take a crap on me yesterday. The steering wheel is now locking up every once in a while because I can't get the key into the stock ignition lock thing. So... after locking on me twice yesterday I am going to drill it out today, once it stops raining and I can get my electric drill into the car.

TIRED!

I've been on and off sleep for the past few days. Sleeping in the most odd times of the day. For instance I am going to be going to sleep right after I type this up and it's about a quarter past seven right now. :( Seven AM that is. I just installed a 120gig SATA harddrive I found laying around my house so now I have the 160 and a 120 in my machine. WEWT.

I got a new phone! Woohoo!!!! It's the LG enV. It's totally awesome and has a full keyboard. I told dad that I'd pay the extra 30 bucks a month for unlimited texts. So now I text ALL THE TIME. It's awesome.

So I've been talking to Alan's girlfriend a lot. Quick back story. I met her after Alan had met her but I met her on my own and she was in some weird bad relationship at the moment and I tried to get her to go out with me but she had that going on so it was a no go. She broke up with that guy and then went out with Alan. Well... Alan is a really lazy guy. So lazy that if he knew I talked about him on here or if I spurted out life changing, revolutionary things on here he would be so lazy that he wouldn't want to waste the energy to log on to this website and read about it. So........... his girlfriend has been talking to me complaining to me about him and his ways. His Alanness. I saw this with him because he treated me the same way in a friendship sense and now he has a girlfriend and is totally neglecting her. She talks to me because I have more of a girl side and see eye to eye with her. I see more so on the girl side of relationships than I do the guy side. I don't know why but whatever. So we talk a lot and I know they are going to break up, it's just a matter of when.

I want them to break up and then again I don't. There's the side of me that says. If they break up then Arielle could be happier and find a guy that would treat her better... possibly me. That'd be awesome. Any ways. There's also the side that says, if they break up Alan will see what he had and has now lost and maybe he will change the way he thinks of life. More than likely not sinece he's stuck on his point of view but it's a hopeful outcome. There's also the total opposite side that doesn't want to see them break up just because they will both be hurt and what not. I think they'd make great friends, but not good lovers. It kind of seems like Alan treats Arielle like a friends with benefits sort of thing. He never takes her out, never does anything for her. She comes over and cleans his room, puts away his laundry, helps him with homework and what not. She will be cleaning his room and he will sit there and not help. It's ridiculous.

I have my first Calculus 2 test today. Hoepfully it'll go well. I've been studying a decent amount for it so we will see how it goes. I gotta get to bed though, Peace out.

P.S. The bus is now my daily driver and is up and running, the Jetta is still blown.

It's Late

I'm the best procrastinator ever! Not really but tonight is pretty bad. I ended up playing WoW for way to long because one of my online friends asked me to play some arena. I knew I shouldn't have.

Tonight I can hopefully get some of dad's website work done for his band's website. I also need to get some homework done. At least like 15-20 problems or something.

Car problems though haven't been solved yet. I ordered the starter for the bus and it should be coming in soon. I've been able to use my dad's 4Runner for the time being thank god. I'm hoping the starter comes in by Tuesday or Wednesday so that I have a car to drive to work. I'm not sure how hard it is to put into there but we shall see. It looks like it is pretty easy to do.

I Frigging Quit

Got my car fixed or so I thought. After about twenty hours of work replacing the head gasket I took it for a spin and it blew up even more. There was a fire because oil got on the exhaust manifold and now it runs really badly. So... the motor is gone and needs a 1k-1.5k dollar rebuild. I don't have that kind of money so my car is out of commission for the time being. :( It makes me sad. I've been down for the past 2-3 days now because of it.

Hopefully this next week I can get the bus working and i'll be good to go with transportation. I'm also really screwed on money which is bad. I haven't quiet done all I could do with my T-Shirt stuff but I should be good this month. Once next month rolls around we will see how I do. Hopefully I will push through this depression and get off my lazy ass.

Between my car hating me and me not being able to find a girlfriend for the past 2-3 years I've been pretty down lately. There's gotta be something wrong with me but nobody tells me.

Car Work


Last night I started working on the car. :p I made a short video that you can find at the bottom of the page.

I also have some new images in my Flickr account if you wish to look at those. Here's one of my block. It looks pretty good. Hopefully I'll have it all put back together by the end of tonight. :)

Car Problems Made Me Super Sad

So. I'm not really sure what the hell is wrong with my car. Right now it's smoking fromt he crank case breather and sometimes out of the tail pipe if it is revved. It sucks hardcore. So my car is being really stupid. It could be a piston ring or it could be a headgasket. I'm hoping it's a headgasket as I already have the stuff to fix that. I really hope that is the problem and then my car will be fixed. :)

I should be getting a new phone soon and hopefully upping the plan so that I have unlimited text messaging. That would be awesome. Not only will my phone fully work but it will also last a while without having to charge it and it'll be good for texting. Wewt. I am thinking about getting the LG ENV. :)
