I like to fight with dani for no reason
I won't let her walk from the bathroom to our room (maybe 20 ft?) with a robe on
Even though I used up all the towels
And I left a mean comment in her journal so this is a little pay back.
Does anyone read this? should I bother updating?
But deep down inside I still love her very much because she loves me very much and she's a hot lay and i'm a hot lay and we lay hot together.
Plus she's gorgeous and adorable even though I don't tell her too much anymore. I like my car lots sometimes. |

I haven't updated in a long time and a lot has happened. I don't feel very good and my back has been killing me all day, so this probably won't be too long. But, you know how Live Journal is. I'll probably end up getting sucked in and writing a huge entry.
I applied at Shelton Pontiac a week or so ago. When I went in I was almost positive that I had the job. The body shop manager wanted me to come back with references. After I did that, he told me that he would call me in a couple days to let me know what's going on. He called me and wanted me to come in last Thursday to interview with a couple of technicians. When I went in, I only interviewed with one technician, Terry. He was really nice and has been working in the industry for a long ass time, 35 years. He was really interested with having an apprentice and hired me. Right now I'm still waiting to go in for my physical, but I should be starting sometime this week. I'm really excited about it, I excited about going back to work and really excited about being able to do what I want for a living. I should learn a lot from this guy since he's been into it for so long. I hung out at the dealership for a bit, talked to everyone, and just kinda watched what everyone was doing. I was asking Terry some questions about a smashed up 2004 GTO that was on the frame puller. I really think I earned some points just by making small talk about it. He's already really confident in me and thinks that I'm going to do really well. He said that he doesn't think that I'll be doing the apprentice program for very long, he thinks that I'll move up faster than most people. So I'm really happy and excited about that. I just hope that I do good...
Me and my Dad fixed that van my Grandparents were giving me last weekend. It was the ECU for sure. We were pretty damn positive, but not 100%. We ordered a new one ($220, ouch...), put it in, and all is good. Started right up even after sitting for so long. So now my Mom is taking that car and I'm taking her car. I plan on getting something nicer within the year though. We'll see.
I ran into an old friend tonight. It's always interesting to run into them. He's been working a lot. He's living with his girlfriend, and he's lost even more weight than I have. He also congratulated me on getting engaged, which was nice to hear. He said that he heard about it from someone. I like seeing them and talking to them for a couple minutes after not seeing them for so long, but I really wouldn't want to hangout with them. Things have changed now and I'm a completely different person. I can't be around people like that. People wonder why I'm not very social...
Well, I should get to bed. I'm in so much pain right now, I don't know what I did, but I need sleep and drugs. This week has been weird and stressful, hopefully things get better and hopefully I start work soon. |

On Saturday me and Dani had a long, much needed talk. Nothing bad, don't worry. We just talked about things that have been going on and straightened out a lot of things. We decided that we're going to be more positive about everything, be more relaxed, and be happy. There's no reason for either of us to be unhappy, we have everything that we need and we both have amazing futures ahead of us. And no one can stop us. This way of looking at things really is working. I feel great since we had our talk. I'm thinking positive about everything, even bad things. And the things that really bother me, I just don't think about. So with this new attitude and me dieting/working out more again really makes me feel good. I've been losing more weight and I'm really hoping to be all sexy for Dani by summer : ) (btw, she's not the one making me workout and stuff, she thinks that I'm perfect just the way I am. It's something that I want to do for her.)
Sunday we got up early and went to church. It was nice to get up and do stuff, even if it was church. I'm not really religious, but I still like it and I still think it's a good thing. Plus, it makes Dani very happy. I'm not against religion and I've really been thinking about it more and more. I just have a hard time believing such a thing and Dani has been very understanding and helpful. She's not pushy about it like almost everyone else and she explains things to me so that I can understand them. After church we went out for breakfast and to the pet store so she could get horse stuff. We had a very busy day. After that we went up to Stony Creek to go hiking (wear the right shoes when you go hiking in the snow, eh? lol). It was really fun and very healthy. We ended up getting lost lol. We went on some little mountain bike trails that seemed to be all mixed up. We ended up meeting up with a group of people that had GPS and followed them. We were out hiking for two and a half hours. It was really interesting and felt good to be out doing something. After that we went back to her house watched a movie, cuddled, and just relaxed. It was very nice and felt even more amazing after a long day : )
The other day I gave Dani a little gift. She was upset and I thought that it would cheer her up. Which it did, even more than I thought it would. She said that it made her week : ) I really wasn't expecting that. I wanted it to be special, but I didn't think it was going to be that special. She said that it's one of the most precious things that she owns, which made my week : )
Dani is already getting wife rules haha. She's good though and she's passing the screening process lol. I know, I'm a horrible fiance. But, if I'm going to marry this amazing girl, I have to make sure she's just right, right? lol. I'm still waiting for my rules, but she hasn't given me any lol. I'm sure I'm in for some hell though : p
The radiator for my car came. I got it in without any major issues. There was a transmission line that we were going to replace, but decided not to because we needed the car as soon as possible. Well, after I got the radiator in and filled it up, the line burst. Just my luck, eh? lol. I just patched it up with a rubber transmission line and everything is fine now.
I'm still waiting on my license, that's okay though. It's not like I need it for work or anything like that.
Not having money sucks, but I'm trying to deal with it the best that I can. Valentines day is tomorrow and mine and Dani's one year anniversary is on the 21st (and we met a year ago on the 17th), so I was really hoping to have money right now. I had big plans. But, I'll figure it out and make it work with what I have. I'll still make it special for you, Dani : ) I promise.
I'm thinking about going to Macomb Community College until I go to Washtenaw. It would be nice to take some classes and get used to college before I go all the way (haha). I'd want to take some electrical classes, like car electronics. Not residential stuff or anything like that. And maybe some welding classes, I don't know. It's just something that I thought about this morning, I still have to talk to the girly about it. But, I'm sure that she'll agree that it's a good thing. We'll see, I'm still not sure if I would want to or not. Might not be worth the money that I would pay and it might not be worth the money I would miss making if I was at work instead. Plus, less time with Dani is very hard to deal with.
I think that's about it, that's a huge update anyhow. There should be no complaints lol. |

I hate calling customer service for anything. Especially for anything computer related since they talk to me like I'm a fucking moron (I've only been fixing and building computers for 10 years...). The only time I call them is when they fuck up, not when I'm being stupid. Well, I'm sure all of you know what PayPal is, if not, you're a moron lol. Anyhow, a few months ago I signed up for the PayPal debit card. What a great idea, a debit card for your PayPal account. It's amazing actually lol. It's supposed to take 2-4 weeks to arrive. I never got it, so I finally decided to call them. After going through their bullshit voice activated automated thing that collects your life history, you get to talk to a real person... kinda. I get a hold of the person and I can barely understand her and she obviously doesn't speak English well at all. She kept asking me "what?", "you dare?", and she keep saying "okay okay okay." It was irritating, but somewhat manageable. So I start talking to her about my problem and telling her what's wrong. She starts to tell me what to do and where to go on their site to fix it. Well, what she's telling me to do doesn't exist and she starts getting mad at me "do you see it? it's dare, on the side" "no, I don't see it. all I have is..." "lemme go check. hold on line, okay?" so then she puts me on hold. She comes back in a few minutes and tries telling me something else, that also isn't there. Then after arguing with her again, she finally says "oh. lemme check the procedure" (why didn't you fucking do that in the first place?!) She's quiet for a minute and then gives me a web address to go to, hm, it works. Shes so smart... Then of course she feels the need to walk me through the rest of it... she was very helpful. I don't think I would've been able to find the NEXT button without her. It was the only button there, very hard to find...
That's my little rant for today. Hopefully I never have to deal with PayPal again.
Other than that, I had a great day : ) Me and Dani hung out at my house which was really nice, then we went out to eat in Royal Oak. We went to Little Tree, like always lol. It was yummy. Dani is still amazing, I know, shocking : p I'm really hoping that I'm able to go through with my plans for Valentines and for our 1 year anniversary. She really deserves it.
Me and Dani also watched a documentary on 9/11. It's very interesting and makes you think, but who knows what's true. It wasn't the usual Mike Moore bullshit either, it was actually good. It's called Loose Change. They have this theory that the government was behind 9/11. Which sounds absolutely fucking insane, but they make a ton of good points lol. I'm not saying it's true or anything, I'm just saying that it's interesting and makes you think. I would recommend it if you get the chance.
I think that's about it for now. I'm still waiting on my license and still not working. I did order that radiator for the car though, should get here in a couple days. |

Not too much has been going on. I've basically just been laying around, which is nice. Just, not so healthy lol. Me and Dani have been spending lots of time just sleeping and watching movies. I'm still waiting on my license, so I can't go look for work just yet, but really soon... hopefully. I should be able to find work like nothing though. I'm very qualified for the kind of position I would be applying for.
I decided that I'm going to start working out even more than I have been. I need it and I want to be in shape by summer. Dani's doing good and has been going to the gym more. We're both trying to be healthier. She's doing good and looking amazing, like always : ) I'm doing okay. I've lost like 5lbs, but it's not very noticeable. I'll keep working though. I have a hard time not getting upset about it. I've worked so hard for so long and it seems like I'm still huge lol. But, Dani keeps reminding me that I've lost a lot of weight and my hard work is paying off. Which is true I suppose, it's just hard for me to realize it. I've lost like 100lbs in the past year and a half. When I went back to UCAL to visit, they didn't even recognize me. But, I'm still not in shape. I don't look too bad, but I don't look how I want. And in the last couple of months, I've gained like 20lbs. So I'm really working on getting rid of all of that and then some. Dani really makes me feel great about myself though, she's very comforting. Starting tomorrow, I'm starting a different workout. Wish me luck.
My uncle let me borrow his PSP, it's so cool. I must resist the urge to buy one. It's so unnecessary lol. But, it's pretty easy to resist it when I have no money : p He also got this really cool job. It's only for like a week or something, but still. He'll make a lot of money and meet cool people. He's going to drive a limo for the superbowl. He'll be driving players and entertainers, so it should get interesting. He gets to keep the limo at his house the whole time and they gave him a gas card, cell phone, and text pager. So he'll have some goodies for a week or so. He gets the car Tuesday, not sure what he's getting yet. It will either be an expedition, a town car, or a "luxury van" (whatever that is lol). I'm hoping he gets the expedition. Would be cool. We'll see though.
My car is fucked right now. It had a leak in the radiator, so we were going to just patch it up ourselves. Well, we took it out and it's all rotten. It falls apart when you touch it and the little hole that we were going to patch, is actually a 5 inch crack, so yeah lol. Looks like I need a radiator. The parents will be buying though.
Sweethearts is this weekend, I really really need to get my hair cut. Dani is supposed to help me! I actually like dressing up, it really surprises me. Dani likes it though lol.
I think that's about it. Hopefully I'll get my license soon and I'll have more to update with : ) |

Well Comcast fucked my account, so I don't have internet right now. I'm not sure when I'll get it back, shouldn't be too long though. But, for now I'll just be using it when I come to Dani's house.
I took my road test and passed it. I went through some bullshit to get it, but that's okay now. But, tomorrow I get to deal with the SOS, so we'll see how that goes.
Nothing has been really going on lately. Yesterday was mine and Dani's 11 month anniversary : )
The new Need For Speed game is amazing, I love it. I know, I know... I'm a nerd lol.
Right now Dani is being boring and just painting, that's why I'm on the computer. She's supposed to be giving me attention, but I don't think she likes me anymore, she has new toys...
That's all for now. I don't have too much to say. |

My back is still kind of hurting me, not too bad though. I can function just fine and it only hurts late at night, like right now lol. Tomorrow I'm back to working out : ) Dani's Mom signed all of us up for this cool Discovery Channel thing. It's called National Body Challenge 2006. When you sign up, you get a free 8 week membership to Bally Total Fitness and a bunch of other stuff. Pretty nice and it's all free. Too bad I already have everything I need in my room : p Still cool though, I'll probably use it. So go to http://health.discovery.com/convergence/bodychallenge2006/opener.html?clik=netmain_feat1 you lazy fuckers : )
My road test is this Friday, I'm really nervous. Wish me luck.
My Dads car is all fucked up still. We thought we got it figured out, but I guess not. We know what the problem is for sure now though. The MAF Sensor is bad. Once we disconnected it, the car ran fine. So now we need to buy another $100 part that we can't afford. But, today I found out that we get 25% off of parts from Ford. It's nice to have people on the inside : ) My Grandparents decided that they want to buy any parts that the Dodge van needs, so that's good.
Dani found a different dress. It looks pretty on the shelf, but I haven't seen it on her. She won't let me lol. She said it looks really good though, so we'll see. I'm sure it looks amazing if she's saying that.
Jack's a jackass and hurts my baby. He kinda pissed me off lol.
For the past couple of days, I've been having amazing mornings. Dani has been coming over and waking me up, it's really nice. We just lay there in bed with each other all morning : ) And since she has no school tomorrow, I get to have her in the morning again : )
I think that's it for now. I need to shower and stuff, then go to bed. Morning will come fast, I'm looking forward to it. Oh, btw, I still want to get some pictures to put in here for everyone to see, just haven't had the chance. Probably no pictures of me though. |

You people suck at replying to these. Dani is the only one reading it? Come on... I know I suck, but I don't suck that much, do I? lol.
Yesterday I somehow managed to hurt my back. I don't know what I did to it, it's a pulled muscle or something, it hurts like a bitch. It's to the point were I'm about to take Vicodin. And if you know me, you know that I have a really high pain tolerance and barely ever take any medicine. It hurts lol. It's my upper left and my whole left shoulder too. Dani says that I have to go to the doctor if it still hurts in a couple days...
I had a really good day yesterday and I'm hoping things will keep going this good (other than my back, that is...). Me and Dani had a pretty relaxing day. Spent sometime at my house, napping and playing. Then we went out to eat (Frank bought, thank you lol) at Bonefish Grill. It was my second time there and her third. It's really good, just expensive (it was $20 including tip for both of us to eat, and we always just get one meal and split it). After that we ended up at the mall to pick her brother up. Dani went dress shopping while we were there. She had a little incident in the fitting room and needed my help, it was very amusing lol. I don't know what she would have done if I wasn't there. Look how helpful I am lol. She found a pretty dress and it looks amazing on her, which I didn't think it would. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it lol. It does look really really good on her though, she's such a hottie : )
My dads van is fine now. We replaced that part and all is good. It even runs better than it did before that problem : ) My moms car (the one that I'm getting) is broken now haha. It's leaking antifreeze like a bitch and needs a radiator. The other Taurus had a good radiator in it, but it got fucked by my uncle. So there goes $100. We found out that the engines out of those cars never die, so no one wants to buy our spare engine... no one needs them lol. But, the transmissions sell pretty good, a couple hundred. So, now we're thinking that we're going to swap the engines, not the transmissions though (my car already has a better transmission). My car has 180k miles on it and the engine from the other Taurus only has 65k, huge difference lol. The computer I repaired for my moms van didn't work. I didn't think it would. Usually when that happens, there's more damage than what you can see and I don't have the equipment to test all of the electronic components. It was worth a shot though. Oh, and the Cougar is gone. I really was interested in it, but my uncle says that it needed more work than it was worth for that price. I have other opinions.
I'm thinking about building car computers and selling them. I just don't know if there would be any interest in them. They can do just about anything that you could imagine and they're cheap (about the same as a cheaper computer <$500 or so depending on what you want it to do). But, you may have to update your car audio. All that you would see is a little touchscreen LCD that would be molded into your dash. The computer would be hidden in either your trunk or behind your dash. I would even be willing to install them next to nothing just because I want the experience. With them you can play all of your music (mp3's, cd's, wma's... anything). It would have it's own hard drive in it, so you wouldn't need a cd player or an mp3 player. It can play DVD's or video files from the computer, even games. You can set it to auto update everything once you get close enough to your home network (it can automatically take files from your home computer, new music and such). You can go online with it. Satellite radio, AM/FM radio, GPS, monitor vehicle stats, digital gauges, control just about anything in your car. All from just one little screen (or big screen if you want to buy it). It's all touchscreen, no mouse or keyboard (you can have them if you want though). You don't need to go through Windows, you just push buttons to do whatever you want. If you're interested or know someone that would be, let me know. Just reply to this or talk to me on AIM. I'll be putting one in my car soon, so people will be able to see what I'm talking about soon. I know, it all sounds like nonsense lol. A computer in your car? wtf?! Whenever I tell people about it, they all have the same reaction. "You're going to put a desktop in a car?" *shakes head* silly kids, you should know me better than that. I'm a genius : )
Money still sucks, but I'm managing. I just wish I could pay my phone bill... Back to work really really soon. I'm getting my license ASAP. I need to go to SOS to get another copy of my permit, it's a little messed up.
I don't know what's going on with the whole family thing. We haven't heard from any of them in over a week, wtf?
I think that's about it for now. Today is going to be a crazy day. Lots to do, no time, and my back is being a bitch about the whole thing lol. |

I haven't updated in awhile and certain people are starting to complain about it lol. A lot has been going on. Christmas was amazing. I loved being with all of my family and all the people that I love. I especially liked having Dani around this year, it helped lots. It was a bit hectic since we had to go to all of her family stuff and go to all of my family stuff, but it was nice and I liked seeing everyone again. I made out pretty good on Christmas this year. Dani got me this amazing pillow from Alpaca Connection in Lake Side. It's so soft and comfy, I love it. Worth every penny for sure. I got a ton of clothes, mostly work clothes and winter clothes. New work boots, hoodies, a $50 Best Buy card, a $50 Home Depot card, and a $50 Sears card. I was happy with everything I got. Dani's grandmother went a bit crazy though... I got more from her than I got from anyone else lol. She probably got me more than half of the stuff that I got. She's great though, she loves to spoil us lol.
New Years was okay. Me, Dani, and Andrea went out to eat at Mexican Village. It was pretty good. After that me and Dani went back to her house. She ended up getting sleepy early, so I went home before it was even 12 lol. A bit disappointing, I wanted to spend our first New Years together. Maybe next year, eh?
Lately I've been wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie every single day. Not the same ones of course : p It's very comfortable, cheap, warm, and it looks good (in my opinion at least lol).
I'm starting my new workout tomorrow. I decided that I'm going to double my old workout and I'm going to be even more strict about things. I really want to be comfortable with myself by summer.
The other day I went out to this Bruce guys house with Dani. He's one of Dani's Dads friends. He owns a body shop on 11 and Mound (Body By Bruce) and has horses at his house (that's why we were out there). Her Dad has been trying to get me a job at this guys shop for awhile now. I started talking to him about it and he was telling me that they don't need extra help right now, but he will in the next couple months for sure. So, that might be a really good opportunity for me. He also mentioned something about me starting something at his house sometime, not sure what he was talking about though. His house is amazing, his land is amazing, his animals are amazing, his kid is cute as all hell, and he has amazing cars lol. He only had two cars at his house at the time (well, four, but two that really stood out), a 1960's Corvette (not sure what year) and a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS convertible. Both are fully restored and the Chevelle is all original with matching tags. The Chevelle is worth like $140,000. It's an amazing car. He named off some other cars that he has too... a 2000 Dodge Viper (one that was tuned for a magazine and featured in it), a Ford Mustang GT 500, a BMW, and a few others that I can't remember. He's done all of the work himself and does very good work, I'm very jealous lol.
My grandparents got a new car and gave me their old one. It's a 1994 Dodge conversion van that doesn't even run. We've been working on it and figured out that the computer got fried. I took it out and repaired it, but haven't had the chance to bring it to my grandparents house to check and see if it works or not. Hopefully it does, but I'm not counting on it. If not, we'll have to just replace the computer. My mom wants the van, so I'm going to trade it to her for her 1994 Taurus. My uncle just got another car too that I might buy off of him cheap, not sure yet. It's a 1994 Mercury Cougar LX. Kinda ugly, but in good shape and has a new engine. Lots of potential. (What's with all of these 1994's? lol) My dads van is still having problems too. We thought we had them fixed, but they're back again and even worse than before. We can hardly keep the car running. We think we found the problem now though, still have to do a little testing.
My grandma is going to let me use her car for my road test. It's kinda big, but is really easy to drive and drives really nice. It's a 2004 Ford Explorer. I'm hoping to take the test next week, I have to go to her house and practice parking it some more. I hate parking bigger cars.
Family shit is still fucked, not going to go into it right now. Basically the same as before.
My cat that was acting funny is okay now. He has some kidney problems, but he's on medication and special food now. He seems much better and no more seizures.
Everything is going amazingly right now. Everything seems to be working out pretty good and I feel a lot better about things the past week or so. Soon I'll be working and driving and I'll be even better.
I need to get a haircut and to shave desperately... lol. Don't you just love my huge ass posts? I should get to bed, I've been sleepy lately.
Oh, and if you're reading this, reply to it. Just say anything, I don't care what it is or who posts it, I'm just curious if people are reading this lol. |

I'm in such a weird mood. I haven't felt like this in a while. I'm really lonely, depressed, and bitchy right now. I've been thinking about everything and it's kinda depressing. I don't like thinking so much. I'm paranoid about everything in the future too. I just can't wait until I have my license and I'm working again. It'll make me feel so much better.
I have no money. Well, no money that I can spend. I need a job, but I'm too stubborn to go work a bullshit job again. I need to get my license so that I can start doing what I want, but my Dad keeps telling me that I need more practice. But, then other people tell me that I'm fine and that I'm a good driver. I was supposed to talk to him tonight about it but never had the chance.
I've been being lazy and I've gained a little weight, it sucks. It makes me feel horrible and like a girl.
I'm still having family issues. Sabrina never called us back, so we'll have to call her again. I'm not putting up with any shit. This is it. My uncle has been using us for the longest time. We're sick of it and cutting him off. It's bullshit. My cousin was supposed to be home from Florida on the 19th, I don't know if he's home or not though because no one bothered to tell us. It's not like we have phones and live right down the fucking street. But, my uncle has come by twice since then for food and to use my phone. Last week he came to my house and wanted me to fix his car for him. Hes been working on cars his whole life and he wants me to fix his car? Fuck that.
I think one of my cats is dying or something. I hope that he'll be okay, but I don't know. It's scary. He's having these seizures or something. Hopefully the vet can fix him. He's pretty old though. It's really sad. We've had him for a long time, since I was a little kid.
I do have something good though... today is mine and Dani's ten month anniversary, go us : ) I don't think that we're doing anything too special (well, not so special to the rest of you... but, very special to me). We'll probably just lay around and cuddle for the most part : ) We do have some stuff that we need to do though. I'm going to try to take care of most of the stuff before Dani gets out of school. And Dani called me from the mall and told me that she got me my Christmas gift. It sounds kinda stupid, but it made me really happy. I've never had a girl friend on Christmas and I don't usually get much for Christmas. So getting something from her means so much to me. I got her something really nice, she already knows what it is though lol. She picked it out. I'm going to try to do something special to it though that she doesn't know about. I'm sure that she'll show all of you sometime. Maybe if you're good I'll get pictures of stuff : )
I think that's about it. I like being able to bitch to the world, even if only one person reads it lol.

Yesterday was really nice. Me and Dani hung out with her old friend Andrea. She's really cool, so I didn't mind it at all. She ended up wanting a kitten for her mother, so she took our last kitten. So if anyone else wanted him, sorry.
Today was kinda weird and confusing. Me and Dani got up early to go see Sabrina, but that didn't work out. We went back to her house for a bit, then went out to eat. Which was nice and pretty tasty. After that we went to VG's, then back to her house so she could get ready. Then we went to my house so I could get ready, then back to her house to meet up with her family. We went to a Christmas party at Dani's aunt's house. Her house is amazing. It was kinda nice and I liked seeing everyone, but we stayed too long and the last couple hours were kinda bad, I won't go into it. At dinner, Jake came up to Dani's dad and was like "I thought you got rid of him" "Oh, no... he's okay..." lol.
I'm still stressed out a bit about Christmas and all of this family stuff too. I'm so sick of it. Hearing about it, talking about it, thinking about it, and feeling sorry for everyone. It sounds horrible, I know, but you don't understand. Ask Dani...
I'm exhausted, but can't sleep just yet so I thought that I would give a little update. People have been kinda mean to me ever since I got home, I don't know why. I didn't do anything and I've been nice to them... It's confusing. And I'm really lonely right now, so it doesn't help all too much lol. This night has been kinda bad, oh well though. I'm going to go try to sleep. I'm going to try to sleep in a bit, but we'll see. Hopefully tomorrow is better : ) |

All web comics suck. I hate them and I've always made fun of the idiots that read them. But, awhile ago I actually found a good one. I read it all the time. It actually has a story and a pretty good one so far. We'll see what happens though. If you're bored, you should take a look. http://www.questionablecontent.net It starts out at the latest comic, but just click first to go to the very first one. There's 513 of them, so it should keep you busy for a little while. Might even give you something to do at school, Dani lol.
Christmas kinda has me worried. I have like no money right now. People owe me some money, but that doesn't help me right now. I already have half of a gift, but not all of it. I really hope that I'm able to get it finished up in time. And I hope that I can get something else too. My family still sucks. And I think Christmas is going to end up awkward, like last year. Oh well, hopefully a certain few don't show up...
Dani made me download this new AIM, I'm not really sure if I like it or not. It's pretty though lol. I just liked my simple old v4.9 AIM lol. Yeah, I'm old school.
We still have one kitten left if someone is interested. Rumor is that Dani's friend wants a kitten... *nudge nudge* I know that you can see this!!! : ) It's the cute grey and white one (the white one is his mom). He's a hyper little shit, but very cute. He likes to sleep on you. He was born on 9-11.
If anyone is looking for web hosting, you might want to try http://www.schostpro.com. They have really good service and really good prices. I used to use them for my website, but it's been gone for awhile now. They sent me a 10% off coupon and told me that I could give it out to my friends, so here you go. Enter "TENOFF" in the coupon field when you are checking out to receive the discount for the life of your account. They even offer a pretty nice commission program. I used them for years, I just haven't had the time to keep up with it lately.
Today Me and Dani had a lazy day and mostly laid around. We slept at my house for a couple hours, then got starbucks and movies. We rented Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Almost Famous. I thought Mr. & Mrs. Smith was pretty good. Funny, action, and even a little romance. It was just a good movie lol. I've never even heard of Almost Famous, but Dani claims it's good. We didn't have time today, so we'll find out tomorrow lol. If anyone knows of some movies that we should rent, let me know. We can never decide on what to get. It was a good day and much needed. I'm kind of thinking that tomorrow will be kind of a lazy day too. We both need it right now.
This entry is like a bunch of commercials, it wasn't meant to be lol. I'm not affiliated with Questionable Content, AIM, or SC Host Pro. I just thought that I would share. I am advertising for the kitten though : p I think that's about it for tonight, I need to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be boring. Dani is going to be gone all day. I won't get to see her until 5ish. I guess I shouldn't complain considering I get to hangout with her everyday almost all day, but still. I get used to being with her all the time. Makes me sad. And I get really lonely at night, blah... |

So I lied, I haven't been updating everyday lol. My life just isn't that interesting though. I mean, to me it is, I love it (I'm sure that is shocking for some of you to hear/read lol). But, to all of you, it's probably the most boring thing ever lol. I'll try to keep updating as much as possible though. I'll try to update whenever I have something interesting for all of you. Lately I've been a little busy, but nothing crazy. I think I might be getting sick. My throat and nose are kind of bothering me, but I think it might just be my sinuses. My back has been giving me problems too. It hurts a lot. Sometimes it's fine though. Like today, it was fine all damn day, but about an hour ago it started hurting really bad. It seems to be worse in the morning and at night, which is strange. Hopefully it goes away, I need to start working out again everyday. I've been lazy lately and it's not good.
A ton of crazy shit has been happening with my family. Not my family really, but aunts, uncles, and cousins. I'm not going to really get into it, but it's not good. It's really stressful and depressing for everyone in the family. I don't think that they realize what they're doing to the rest of us. My one cousin moved down to Florida to live with his grandma, which is probably a good thing for him. And I don't know what is going on with my other cousin. I was always really close to her. For the past couple years we haven't been as close. And now lately she's been weird. She complains when I don't hangout with her or call her to hangout (which I used to do, but stopped since she never could/wanted to). But, she never asks me to hangout. Like last week she had a party for my cousin that was leaving to Florida. I guess they had a bunch of people over for it. I never knew a damn thing about it. I just heard about the party today. Kind of made me really mad...
Money has been kinda tight. I haven't been working or bringing in any income, I figured that I would have my license by now. My parents keep taking me out driving, which is good. But, my dad told me last night that he doesn't want me to take my road test right now. He says that I'm not ready yet. Which was really depressing since I thought that I was doing good and improving a lot. Not to mention that my whole life (other than Dani of course : ) ) and career choice is all about cars and driving. So hopefully I can take it soon and get my license out of the way. My grandparents are going to give me a car. It's a van and it doesn't run, joy. But, I can fix it and my mom is willing to trade cars with me. So the Probe is gone and the red Taurus is gone. The van is still at my grandparents house, I'm going to try to get it home when we go over there for Christmas. Once I get my license, I can start working again. I can wait, I need money. My bank account got fucked. I got charged all of this crazy shit, I don't know where it came from. Well, I think I know now, but it's not right and it shouldn't be there. I went to the bank today though and they seemed like they're going to make things right. They credited my account and they're going to investigate what happened. I really like that bank.
College seems to be looking better and better. I've been a bit discouraged though. This whole license thing is worrying me a lot. And I have my doubts about college, which I'm sure is normal for anyone to have. I'm worried that I won't be good enough for it. I keep telling myself otherwise, but of course I think my work is good lol. I don't know, I guess we'll see. Once I get my moms car, I'll tear into that a bit for some practice. A 1994 Ford Taurus btw. I got some information back about financial aid. So far I should be getting about $1,900 towards my Collision Repair certificate, which is 32 credits. Which makes my certificate cost me about $1,684 (that's just the Collision Repair. I'll still need to go for the advanced Collision Repair certificate, the welding classes, and the Custom Cars and Concepts certificate. Like I said in the last update, 74 credits all together. I just need the Collision Repair certificate before I can do the other stuff). Credits are $112 and they'll be even cheaper once I move out by the school, only $69. That would be nice. I can't even go to orientation until March though, so I have some time to save and stuff. Plus, I still have a few grand in my trust fund. I shouldn't be moving out by the school until sometime in August, I have to wait for Dani.
Well, this is getting to be insanely long, so I should go to bed. I'm exhausted and my back is killing me. Everything else has been good lol. Me and Dani are doing wonderful, like always : ) I love that girl so amazingly much, I'm such a lucky guy. She's been having the same problems as me though. Money and college lol. Seems to be the usual with young adults. Alright, well I think that's it. I'm fucking exhausted. This is huge, so I don't think that it's possible that I forgot anything lol. Oh, and I might be coming to visit you little UCAL assholes lol. I was supposed to come back and visit after I got my GED, so maybe if I'm feeling like it...
Btw, the new Korn album is pretty damn good. Even without Brain. |

It's been a long time since I've updated and a certain someone keeps complaining about it... *cough* Not too much has happened. I quit Burger King, so I have no job right now (it's kinda nice, actually lol). And I still need to go take my road test, which I'll be doing very soon. Dani's Dad was asking me about my road test and was asking if I took it yet. I thought that he was going to be mad that I haven't yet, but I explained why (no car and I haven't driven enough). I told him that I would probably just rent a car for it. He's like "No, you're not doing that. You can use her truck." So, I'm going to be using Dani's car for my road test. Frank just wants me to go out driving with Dani's Mom so she can okay my driving. So that's good. I think that he's actually starting to give in lol. After that he asked me if I wanted a job. He's trying to get me in at his friends body shop, I need my license though. So, we'll see what happens with that.
I've pretty much figured out what I'm doing for college. I'll be going to Washtenaw Community College for Automotive Collision Repair and for Custom Cars & Concepts. I'll be getting an advanced certificate in collision repair and I'll be getting a certificate in custom cars & concepts. I'm not exactly sure how long it's going to take me or how much it's going to cost me. I applied for financial aid, so hopefully that works out. I'll most likely be going in the spring. I still have to make sure that this is all right, this is just from what I've gathered. I am going to this school for sure though. It ends up being 74 credits though. So, probably around $8,500 just for tuition, ouch. It will be good though. I'll have a good future ahead of me with my lovely lady : ) Classes that I'll be taking:
Auto Body I
Auto Body II
Advanced Auto Body I
Advanced Auto Body II
Advanced Auto Body III
Advanced Auto Body IV
Automotive Mechanics I
Machining for Auto Applications
Fundamentals of Welding
Welding for Art and Engineering
Applied Body Welding and Estimation
Auto Body Repair Applications
Auto Refinishing Applications
Custom Painting
Classic Auto Restoration I
Custom Cars and Concepts I
Custom Cars and Concepts II
Custom Cars and Concepts III
Custom Cars and Concepts IV
Car Show Participation
All of that while hopefully working full-time. So much for having a life lol. At least my resume will be pretty impressive : ) I'm so excited about it, I can't wait for it. This school gives a lot of great opportunities to people getting into the industry. They're always winning awards, attending car shows, building custom cars for Ford and GM, in magazines, and on tv (Rides on TLC).
Well, I think that's about it for now. This was supposed to be updated before Dani got out of school so she had something to read, but it took much longer to type than I thought. Sorry sweetie. Oh! She's okay with me posting that picture, so you all get to see my ugly mug lol. She's a hottie though : )
I think I'll be updating more often, I'm going to try to. But, I should go get ready. Dani should be here soon. |

This weekend I went up to Lexington with Dani. I had a really good time. We wanted to go lay on the beach, but it was way too cold, windy, and rainy lol. So we ended up just staying at her cottage for most of the weekend just relaxing, watching movies, cuddling, and having fun. The ride home was kinda crazy with all of that wind. When I got home, power was out at my house. Dani still had power though so I just hung out at her house. It finally came back on at like 9:30.
Last week me, my uncle, and this kid from Alaska pulled the engine and transmission off of my dads totaled Ford Taurus. The kid is my uncles neighbor from Alaska, he's like 3 months younger than me (seems more like three years...). He was kinda an asshole. Not very respectful at all, swearing like crazy. Even in front of Dani and my Grandmother. That's okay though, he'll be going back in a couple months. So anyhow. I have a ton of Ford Taurus parts. If someone happens to read this that is looking for something, let me know. We took off a ton of stuff to sell and junked the rest. All of the stuff is from a red 1994 Ford Taurus LX. The engine is a 3.0L V6 with around 80k miles (pretty sure, but I would have to double check). It was running very well and was very clean. Had no problems at all until it was rear ended at a red light. The guy was looking in his wallet. When he looked up and noticed my dad, he hit the gas instead of the brake on accident. He hit my dad going like 80MPH, so yeah, the car was fucked in the ass lol.
Me and Dani have been engaged for a month now. Isn't that cute? lol.
She took a picture of us up in lexington, it turned out really good. Maybe she'll let me post it on here... maybe. Don't get your hopes up.
That's about it. A few little things happened, but nothing too big... unless I'm forgetting something. I can take my road test whenever now, I just want to get some more driving in first, just in case. I put my two weeks notice in at Burger King, the 14th is my last day. I think I'm actually going to miss that place a bit. I think I'm going to end up buying a car sooner than I thought. If I use my moms car, she'll be without a car almost all the time, even if I only use it for work. Not really sure if I'm going to or not. I might start looking around again. There's a little white Chevy S-10 (really a GMC Sonoma, but yeah, same thing) by Dani's house. I don't know what it is exactly or how much they're asking though. Might go look at it, I don't know. Well, I'm exhausted. I should get to bed. |

So a lot has been going on. I've been busy with everything and I've been exhausted. I've barely been getting sleep or time to just really relax. I can't wait for a day that I can just lay around and be lazy. Last Saturday I went to Dani's cousins wedding. It was fun and I got to meet a lot of new people. I met Dani's other grandparents and they seemed to like me. I think that her Grandpa really liked me. He wants me and Dani to come up north to his house sometime. He's really into cars too : ) That's all that we talked about all night lol. And the weekend before that (I think that's when it was... I need to update more often...) Dani's Mom took me, Dani, and her brother to Cedar Point. I had a really good time.
I took my GED test two weeks ago and I wasn't able to get my scores for a couple weeks. Today I called them and they actually had my scores. I passed it. And I actually did really good on it. She said that I scored really good on all of it. I should get that stuff in the mail soon, I hope. So I'm really happy about that. And I'm sure everyone else that has to deal with me is too. Dani says that she's really proud of me, which means so much to me, I don't think she even realizes it : ) So now I just need my license. In about a week I can take my road test, but I don't know if I'm going to do that right away or wait until I've driven a bit more.
I think that I'm going to be putting my two weeks in at Burger King on Monday. I was thinking about doing it on Thursday, but Mandy asked if I could wait until Monday so she has a little more time to find someone. I have to train whoever she finds, should be fun. Remember reading about the little mexican I trained? lol. That will give me time to get my other job, I don't really want to work two jobs. Everyone is kinda bummed out that I'm leaving. Everyone loves me! lol. They keep saying that I can't leave, but f that. Two jobs, college, and Dani?! lol. Dani comes before work for sure. Especially since I don't need two jobs.
Well, I think that's about it. I'm exhausted, I need to shower, I need to get up early, and I'm fucked... it's already 4 in the morning lol. Stupid work. I need to get up and work on our deck, but I don't really see that happening lol. Right now everything seems to be working out just right. I still need to change my workout and I need to get more rest, this can't be healthy. Other than that, everything is fine. Things with Dani are amazing. I don't have to worry about my GED anymore. Money isn't really a problem anymore. I don't really need to stress about work, just yet at least lol. The only thing I really need to worry about right now is getting my license. Until then, I can't go any further. Once I get my license, I'll have a good job and I'll be starting college shortly after that. I'm done, night everyone. |

Things have been kinda crazy lately. On the 7th, something really amazing happened :) You'll have to ask Dani about it lol. And no, I'm not a Daddy lol. Today I went to take the first parts of the GED test, tomorrow I'll take the rest. I won't know how I did for like two weeks, fuckers. That wait is going to kill me lol. Wish me luck. Today wasn't too bad though, I think I did pretty good and Dani seems to think that I'm going to do really good. Her support helps me so much. There was like 10 of us there testing. It went from 5pm to 10pm. I'm smart though, I finished way early and went home lol. I didn't really have a problem with any of it, the essay was kind of a bitch though.
I got my phone, all is good with that. Just wish that I had more minutes lol. I bought a bunch of clothes, so I'm all sexy ;) lol. I got my permit but I have to wait 30 days to take my road test, so I'll be taking that on November 3rd. Which sucks since I want to start that damn job and I need my license for it! I decided that I'm selling my car and my mom is going to let me use her car until I buy a new one. Which would be sometime after November and after I start that other job. After I'm working there for a bit, I think that I'm going to take out a loan and buy something used, but almost new. I really like the Trail Blazers, but I don't know about gas. I'd be working at a Chevy dealer (if they still want me that is...), so I'm assuming that I would get some kind of discount. Maybe it will be all GM cars, maybe just Chevy. I don't know. I have lots of time to think/decide.
I think that I know what I'm doing for college now. Washtenaw Community College has this class called Custom Cars and Concepts that I want to take. It's like perfect for me. It's exactly what I want to do as a career. And to take that class, I need to take all of the auto body classes that I was going to take anyhow, so it all works out well. I'm going to see if I can take some of the required classes at Macomb or something, then go to WCC for the Custom Cars and Concepts class. We'll see what happens. I need to contact WCC and see if I'm able to take classes somewhere else. I'm excited about college and my future. Things are really looking good and I really think that I have a great future ahead of me. Only problem is that WCC is so far away... |

Not much has happened since I last updated, but I figured that I might as well use this thing. Me and Dani went and got her dress yesterday, it's so pretty. She looks very very good in it :) I'm a lucky guy lol. My whole phone thing was a bitch. Today I checked it and they said that I needed to contact them, wtf? So I did and they said that I needed to verify my security deposit again. So after about an hour on the phone with 4 or 5 different people, it finally worked. So now it should ship out Thursday and get here Monday or Tuesday. Already having problems, great...
The rest of the day went very good, I wish I would've had more time though. Me and Dani hung out for a bit before I had to go to work. It was really really nice, but, like I said, time sucks. Work was just as fun as usual, nothing too exciting happened... we did get new brooms though lol. Oh! And new name tags! Not me though for some reason... I'm still ghetto. Oh and I guess Mandy doesn't like to work with me. She said that I'm creepy lol. I asked Pete about it and he said that she said that she just doesn't know me. But he told everyone else that she said I was creepy. What's creepy about me?! She's just a bitch.
I've still been kinda looking around for a car, but I don't know what I'm going to do yet. My mom said that I could use her car for a while, so I'll probably just do that and save more. I still need to go take that stupid test for my license. I need to finish this damn book, I keep forgetting about it.
Well, that's about it. Pretty boring update, but at least it's something lol. I better get to bed, I'm going out with Dani and her brother for breakfast/coffee at like 6:30, should be fun... and tiring lol. |

It's been awhile since I updated last. I haven't had very much time or energy left for the computer. Not that it really matters though, how many people actually read this? lol. I'm going to try to update more often, things are busy right now though.
I got my trust fund money, so I've been getting lots done lately. I ordered a phone, it should be here within a week. It was supposed to be here Friday, but Verizon is being slow with the activation, so it got pushed back some. We'll see. It kinda makes me mad that it's going to take so long, but I'm happy that I'm finally getting a phone lol. It should help build my credit some too. I only had a $125 security deposit. When I went to the store, they said it would be $400. F that, order online lol. Monday me and Dani went and got my suit for homecoming. Dani says I look really good in a suit, I dunno though. I guess they're making me take lots of pictures, so maybe you'll see, maybe. This stuff is starting to add up, it's kinda depressing. I hate spending money unless it's something that I really really want. And there's only one thing that I want to spend money on right now... and I can't say what that is : ) I still need to get my hair cut, get some clothes, get some shoes, and pay for my license. Oh, and something to drive lol.
On Monday me and Dani went to Rochester's night school and I signed up for the GED. I'll be taking it on October 11th and 12th. The lady was either being nice or stupid. She only charged me $175 when it was supposed to be $200. It's supposed to be $175 if you're in the district and $200 if you're not. Oh well though, I won't complain lol. They needed my transcript, which I didn't have and they didn't tell me that I needed the the three times I called to make sure what I needed, fuckers. So we had to go to UCAL. No one recognized me. They said that it looks like I lost 100 pounds : ) They said I look completely different. Everyone is really nice there, I actually miss some of my teachers. I asked to see Mr. Ethridge and Mr. Smith. They both came to the office and so did Mr. Gentner (I wanted to see him too, but I didn't think he would remember me. But, he did. That bastard still has my Rammstein CD's!). It was nice to see them. They were joking around when they first came into the office. They went up to Dani and shook her hand and were saying how they couldn't even tell that it was me lol. Confused me and Dani lol. I wanted to see Nikki too, but she wasn't there that day, slacker!
I've been trying really hard to find a cd. The band is Violent Work Of Art. If anyone has it or knows where I can get it, please let me know. I found a couple places, but it ends up being like $27 with shipping (they're Swedish).
I think that's about it... The 21st was mine and Dani's seven month anniversary. The kittens are all still around and well. All of their eyes are open now, I'll need to take more pictures soon. Oh, and those pictures will be back up soon. I'm still working and it still sucks ass lol. You better be grateful Dani! lol. Tonight kinda sucked. We were short people, one of the people that we did have was broken and the other left before he was supposed to. So I ended up doing a bunch of shit that I'm not supposed to have to do.
Oh! And what is with all of the street racing all of the sudden? It's everywhere lately. Tonight at work, there was like 20 guys (...and only 4 cars. a stock Blazer, a 2005 Ford F-350 (obviously not racing lol), a 2006 Z06 Corvette, and a 2006 Silverado SS in Farmer Jack's parking lot racing and stuff. The other night I saw a Camaro SS and a Mustang Saleen Racing. Later that night I saw the same Camaro and that same Z06 Corvette racing (the one that was at Farmer Jacks tonight). Weird.
Anyhow... time for bed. No more rambling for tonight lol. Night everyone. |
