KneeDragging

2006-07-28T02:55:20Z

Well today my other buddy at work left. Mike moved away 2 weeks ago and now today my friend Chris got fired. It was a few things, but it sucks. I've worked next to the guy for over a year now and has always helped me so much on things. Now this new guy from Mexico is next to me. Really nice guy, but he doesn't know all that much.

Awhile back I touched my knew on the ground for a split second when taking a turn on my bike, but today I dragged the mother fucker. I don't go out trying to get my knee down when out riding my bike, but by doing this. It just means that I'm doing something right.

Blah blah

What a way to Finish up the week

2006-07-22T03:04:24Z

Got called a machine this week from the co workers. I guess my restaurant days are showing. I turned over a 100 hours this week! I've been thinking about a tattoo here for awhile and might have come up with one. Don't count on it soon, but I say in the next 6 months I'll have one or two. I won't be getting no pussy ass bullshit like some people either.

Last week in T-town was insane. Hung out with this amazing girl named Ashlynn. Got way too wasted and can't wait to go back to see her. I don't remember much of the night, but I rode around in her mustang and hung out at a house party. This weekend will consist of doing some house work, riding the bike, then next week I'm off to Houston to help my big sis move into her house. The next 6 months look up....... very up.

Finally Got my bike back

heading out!!!

I just spent $558.75 on tools....... But I got my ass kicked by a rust bucket Ford Explorer today and I've borrowed these few special tools too much. That may bring my collection of tools to about $5,000 not counting the $5000 box!!!!

True Friends Stab you in the front

2006-07-13T03:49:55Z

The last week Brett was here we were talking about the people we've both met here and B-ham and both agree they suck. He talked about how if you met someone in MS one week the next week you could be best friends with them. Here it's a different story........ I don't want to go over detail of last weekend, but I'm pretty much through with the work crowd. There's only about 4 (1 tech) that is my age and isn't married or has kids. I've always found myself being friends with people who are 30. I've been like that since I was about 19. I must be missing someone, but don't know what. I wish Rhett lived here. Im going to Tuscaloosa this weekend to hang out with him. My friend Mike at work leaves to move back to Florida Friday :-( Turning some crazy hours these day. 174 hours on my last paycheck for a time of 86 hours worked. I try so hard, but have always fallen short is certain areas and it frustrates me because it's personal problems. There's isn't a manual or anthing I can look up to fix it. The shop that wrecked my bike should have my parts in really soon..... I hope to get it back soon. It's was a good stress relief.

The Silver Bullet

2006-07-02T02:55:01Z

Well had a kickass week at work completing some big jobs. Still haven't gotten my bike back. Fuckers have ordered some parts, but sound like they may still be trying to screw me. I'm telling them Monday that if some of the parts that they supposedly already ordered aren't on the bike by Friday that I'm towing my bike somewhere else for the repairs and I'll have the bill sent to them. I think that they're trying to do things like bondo and paint the tank when they should be replacing it. I didn't bring them a patched up bike so I don't expect one back. I so wanted to ride today, but honestly don't have time right now because I'm buying and shopping for things for the house. It's coming together quit good and can't wait to post pics. I grilled out today and it was awesome. Met some locals at the store. There are some hot ass women out here, but there are also lots of hicks. I am t a ways out of the city of B-ham.

American Classic Bike dyno day

2006-06-25T01:24:51Z

Tried to get the bike dynoed today. Fuckers ended up loosing their balance while driving my bike up onto the dyno which is on a trailer. Bike fell and hit the ground which is about 3 feet down. Handle bars bent, fairings broken, tank bent, oil was all over the place. Not too sure of the extent of damage down, but they are paying for it all. I almost hope they totalled it so I can get another newer r6 because I'm worried that this bike will never be right. I'm so enraged and I will be on their asses this week about getting me an estimate and ordering parts.

Electrical, Brakes, Steering and Suspension, Heating and AC, Engine Repair!!!! 3 more to go :-)

FIRST HOME POST

2006-06-09T23:10:59Z

My DSL rocks and I have a home number 205-477-4794 at my house!!!!!

Tomorrow my direct TV gets hooked up and more moving.....

Met the people who live 2 door down which are really nice. I got invited to some happy living seminar, but I won't go. lol. Maybe if I was married or older I would.

Finally

2006-06-02T21:34:15Z

Wow I can't believe it, but I did it. I own my house! I move in tomorrow.......... I'm so excited.

Tuscaloosa and bike riding

2006-05-28T16:15:11Z

Saw X-Men 3 with mike Friday night.... whick sucked and I knew it would. After that I headed on over to Tuscaloosa one more time for awhile since Rhett and Chris and going to New Mexico for some school trip. As always we just drank a lot at the bars. Met a Chick named Bekka. Got her number, but won't call her. I'll probably just see her up there next time. Also saw my ex gf Liz and her boyfriend. The girl looked horrible (gained more weight), but we also dated 2 years ago. She said I looked damn sexy right in front of her bf. She was really drunk and he got really mad...... they left the bars after that. lol.

Went midnight riding last night on the bike with Tim. It was alright, but he is the goofiest 30 year old I know. He almost ran into me as he sped past at about 1.5 ft away from my side then almost ran into the back of a van changing lanes.

American Idol and B-ham

2006-05-26T03:15:15Z

Yeah call me a fag, but I actually watched like the last 8 weeks of American Idol for the first time. It's pretty crazy how out of the six seasons that show has been on that 2 of the winners have been from Birmingham and last yeare 2nd place Bo. It was Ruben first, which has done jack shit. Taylor will hopefully do something.

Final walk through of house is tomorrow. Home insurance starts the 31st. Home appraisal is tomorrow and after that it is all complete. I'll could be signing papers as early as Tuesday!!!!

I'll WILL be going to Ole Miss here pretty soon to see Ryan. Lil Mikey I'll have to come pick you up. I need to call you mike back. Sorry man I saw you called the other night, but just haven't returned your call.

Drunk again

2006-05-21T16:35:16Z

Well went to T-town again last night. Me and Rhet took 8 shots a piece before going to the bars......... I woke up in a girls bed this morning that I hardly know and Rhett got a ride to his gf house by the Alabama shuttle van.

We caust his oven on fire and had to call 911. It was pretty awesome. Cops showed up and we were pretty wasted.

Sunday night

2006-05-15T03:19:08Z

Damn I wish I brought a camera with me to Tuscaloosa last night. Me and Rhett destroyed the place like we always do. I lost one of my contacts, hit on this really hot girl at one of the bars (I saw her today sober and yes she was still hot) and drank too much whiskey. I accidently gave a $20 tip out last night. Hopefully they won't beable to read my drunken hand writing because I can barely read it myself. Adding and seeing with whiskey is hard sometimes.

88 hours earned....... 44 worked

2006-05-14T00:01:32Z

Another new personal record for hours in one week was set this past week. 88 hrs.......... eat it!!

Going to T-town tonight. Last night my good friend in Tuscaloosa totalled his car. Hit a tree with a huge ice chest full of beer in the back. They went back and got the ice chest out before the cops got there, but there were tons of broken bottles all over the place. Don't drive stupid and try to show off when you've been drinking......

Tools, ASE Tests, HOUSES

2006-05-12T03:59:54Z

Well today I took my 2nd ASE test for the week. Tuesday was Heating an AC while tonight was Engine Repair. I don't think I did so hot on Engine Repair, but we'll have to see in 4 weeks when I get my test results back.

Today bought a lot of new tools. I probably shouldn't have since I did find a house last weekend and will be closing around June 1st. It's only 15 miles from work in an area that I won't see much traffic at. The house is new, two car garage, gas fireplace and a big kitchen. It's only 2 bedroom unlike the one I was looking at before which was 3 bedroom, but this house is great. Plus it's 20K less than the original one I tried to close on.

The last 2 weeks I've been going to Tuscaloosa and will probably do it again this Saturday. I've been getting crazy hours at work lately which I'm loving. I'm getting 70 hrs a week minimum for the was 8 weeks.

Life is looking up. Doing great at work, hanging out with a lot of old friends while making new ones, about to move into a house. I'm loving it.

NO DEAL

2006-05-04T00:36:58Z

Well today I had to walk away from the house deal. They were suppose to fix a lot of rotted wood and didn't. Fuck em it's their loss. The girl that lived there was in here twenties and had already almost completely moved out and had an apt. There are more houses out there, but damn I wanted to get out of my parents house.

Girls

2006-05-01T00:01:16Z

Last night went to Tuscaloosa to see the guys. Had a great time bar hopping and drinking Heaven Hill wiskey. Felt good hearing and telling stories of times that I went to school there. Rhett's girlfriend got a kick out it. 5 am this morning I ate some millitary packed lunch in a bag.

I just try and keep my head down and moving

2006-04-28T22:57:59Z

I have social anxiety......... I really don't want to believe it, but I think I do.

B Rry

2006-04-24T00:38:17Z

Well this past weekend was alright. Got to finally ride the new tires on my bike and OMG what a difference. I actually touched a knee today believe it not. I barely marked my sliders, but still it touched. Bought a bed for my house Saturday and looked at lawn mowers today. The seller and I have come to an agreement on some things that need to be fixed so now all I need is an apraisal of the house. After that we sign papers and I move in. I'm estimating at the most 4 weeks and I'll be at my new place. ASE tests are coming up on the 9th so I need to really start studying. I'm taking AC and Heating along with Engine Repair. Hopefully after these I'll have 5 ASE's under my belt.

Besides all that not much going on at all with me. Just getting through the day looking.

Last week Kicked ass

2006-04-17T02:28:14Z

Damn this weekend would have been awesome to ride, but I'm still waiting to get my rims and tires back from the fucking motorcycle shop. I mean how long does it take to mount and balance two tires. I got 2 of the best tires you can get right now for the street Michelin Pilot Power tires. They're suppose to have the highest lean angle of any tire out there that isn't specially designed for race track use.

I didn't even know it was Easter this morning. Me and my friend Mike went a few places today and ended up at Hooters drinking beer and eating wings. The last time we went there our waitress came over to my house, but now luck this time. lol.

Turned over 80 hours this past week which is a personal best for me. I got a 43 cent raise so all it going great. Tomorrow I'm heading over to the house I'm getting for the home inspection. Probably going to buy all my furniture too since tomorrow only this one store is advertising no taxes. It's funny, but I'm going to get the same bedroom furniture that my parents have in my room here at their house.

April 30th is closing

2006-04-08T23:55:40Z

Well I found the house today and made an offer. Since it's not our realitor's house we have to wait and hear back from the other realitor. I hope it's still on the market because it was shown to someone else right before we got there. It's that good.......... it won't stay on the market long.

*****EDIT***
well our offer was the first and now we just have to wait and see if they except it. I don't see why they wouldn't since it was what they were asking. I still have to get a home inspector to check it out and more things like that, but this is it.

Fun Times

2006-04-05T03:21:40Z

Well looks like I'm out for the "Super Bulldog Weekend." I have an appointment to go look at 5 more houses since the last one wasn't perfect for me. The kitchen was alittle small and the neighborhood used septic systems which after living in Gulf Park Estates will never have one again. Damn damn damn it would have been awesome, but I'll make it to Ole Miss and MS State sooner or later.

Today got my new tool box and damn it's sexy. I"ll have to get some pics once I get the stainless steal top put on.

Got drunk at a Kareokee bar last weekend with a bunch people from work which was awesome because for some reason we haven't done anything together lately. Not much to say...... it was fun.
