Wow, well it doesn't seem like people are signing on as much anymore, so that infers that alot more is going on in life. Well since I quit my job as a parts driver to return back to school, there was a lot of confusion and strange situations at school, so I am only taking like 3 classes! Yes so I have no job, and am only taking 3 classes, I feel like such a burnout! So recently, after 1 year of lazing around I have actaully started working out again to "ready" myself for the skiing season. And for the first time in SIX years I am actually running again, but the thing is I never have enough energy during the day, so I go out running at around 2 i the morning, when I arrive home from the evenings activities. I have yet to be attacked by a mountain cat, or worthogs, or cyotes, but I do run with bricks so they'd better watch out! The party scene at santa clara university has completely died within the last month, ever since the frat guys felt it necesary to hurl beer bottles at the cops! So i don't mean any drunk chicks anymore, I go to my next love, cars. The racing scene at milpitas has been pretty steady recently, which is good. Although 3 weeks ago some vietnamese thugs is an old honda felt like they should cut me off and slam on their brakes for no reason. So I felt it necesary to fill up a large soda bottle, drive up next to them and hurl it full speed into his body panel, and then speed onto thr freeway  Well I consider this a funny story, some of you may not :p So come up give us recent car or job updates, or tell some stories, whether they be funny or serious!!

I think everyone must have stuff going on in their lives right now. Seems a lot of people are trying to stay extra busy during this whole US terrorist attack / bad economy. You know my scoop. Fried Tour motor still working on Ford to antie up some cash to get it replaced. Been racing the shifter kart in dixon a couple times a month (just for kicks, nothing professional). I saw the new thunderbird the other day dealer had it marked up 10k... wow that's a mark up. A lot bigger in person than I had thought. About the same size as the Tour even though it is just a 2 seater. That is my latest. I'll be popping in and keeping in touch to let you know what happens with the car.
by the way, you are one crazy mother. :rolleyes: throwing a full soda can at the honda :p

Wow, Bangher I am feeling inspired to start running again. I can one up ya though, a late night run with cinder blocks! I can pick a few up in Chris Marshalls neighborhood, hell nobody will miss em underneath there cars! For reals though, I have been working my ass off and November will be a bust my ass type of month. I have the CPA :rolleyes: exam in 10 days. Not that I have studied cus of my damn job, but what the hell it builds character right? Oh yeah the layoffs wasnt exactly a fun week of my life either, having 10% of your fiem walk out the door aint good. Needless to say, me bustin my ass and working late has turned out be a job saver! Then there was the horrendous car accident the GF was in 6 weeks ago. Yeah, it really sucked and she still has me doing housework  . I hate housework! What I really hate is car shopping, that sux even worse. Who are these greazy used car salesman who can barely speak freakin english! Geez!!!!! James, go sell used cars you will do well and can then afford a Dodge Daytona IROC edition. 222HP out of a turbo 4cyl for your racer! ummmmmm MOPAR. Anyway, I hope I ain't ever on the recieving end of the Mountian Dew 1L bottle! I do hafta laugh though! Good Kill!

well, things were going good til this morning. My manager cut my hours down at work cause Fedex is losing money from this recession. So that could amount to about $300-$400/month we will be losing. So for now all fun activities and car stuff have been axed. Food and gas is all we have money for now.
Other than that nothing is new with me. Oh wait, wife told me "I wanna have a baby in May" so this is not my couple of days.

**Quickly counts out the months on his fingers.. and realizes that May is only 7 months away.....**
Err.. if things aren't already progressing in this arena, I think you'll have a bit of breathingroom if "MAY" is the goal....
