delvier us from darkening skys
why is it that the prefect weather (typical fall weather, about eighty during the days, about fifty at night) the bext days (days off) are all ruined by my father.
i mean what the hell am i supposed to do about the headers on my moms car? i sold it to him ten years ago. ten years, yeah, it was car number two for me, i'm up to 26? i think. maybe it's 28?
but anyway, he spent the entire day "working" on it, which ment i spent the entire day in bed. he was trying to replace the starter on it, i'm sure there is a way to do it with the headers on the car, cuase i did it, but even barring that, it's only seven bolts holding the header on, you undo those and the starter comes out. you put the new starter on, and you reatach the seven bolts, with a new gasket, it's simple enough. he's done it before. and you know i recall him giveing me every bit as much shit as he was giveing me this time.
only this time, he didn't do it.
so now he wants to get another car for my mom.
and i'd offer up my car, except my mom is an idiot and cann't drive. she's hit the neighbors car twice backing out of the driveway. i could see once, but twice?
so he was thinking of a porsche.
did i mention he's an idiot?
ah, dad, if you can't afford to have basic maintaince preformed on a 69 dodge, then the parts for a porcshe are going to bankrupt you. if would be cheaper to take the 69 dodge and put a chevy v8 in the middle of it than to actually maintain a Porsche.
in otherwords, i've been drinking. monday through friday i have no inclination to drink, but come the weekend, hell i might as well open up a bottle of something, goes my though pattern.
otherwies, things seem ok, the weather is really beutiful, i mean really great, yesterday (sat) it was a little chilly when i went out to ride my bike, yeah actually chilly! but i warmed up once i put a couple of miles under me. really i wish it could be like this always. my car is comeing along. not quickly, but i at least started working on it again, a good sign if i'm going to have it up and running by the spring sumsestor. i still have no idea where i'm going to spend the spring sumseter, but oregon is a part of the western states collegete fund or whatever it's called. so that's an option. i'm still thinking of nashville, or penn, but being as i'd be paying out of state rates, i'm not thinking those are going to happen. the thing is, it's really green there, not just part of the year (a week in co, eight or nine months in oregon) but i've been dreaming lately. good i've missed dreaming. wierd dreams too, i was hunting bear with a cap gun i've got, only it had turned into a muzzle loader the last time, i lost erics dad (he was getting mauled by the bear) but after i took the two shots, i whent of somewhere and got a real gun which i finshed the bear off with. yeah weird, the thing was, erics dad and i were the only two in the dream, excepting of course the bear.
at work theo was finally fired. he was fired for getting caught drunk driving. only he wasn't drunk, not even ablitly impared, he blew a point 02, far from anyting, except with a cdl, it still counts. so he was fried for it. except he wasn't fired when he lost his liscne or anything, nope he was fired about 8 months later. i hope he sues the dristict and wins shit loads of money. he was basically my only friend at work. yeah he was a pain in the ass to work with, but hey, he was my friend.
but anyway, ive been trying to determine the best mixtape formula. i've failed, yet again. the mix i made for cat over the last xmas break was amaing, as was the mix i recieved from her. but i've yet to duplicate it. i'm still trying though. i don't know what it is that makes one mix of songs so much better than another though. i mean on a whole, i like the songs on my latest cd much better than the previous one, but as a whole i like the earilyer cd much better.
np:the cassetes, the lonesome sound of the cassetes
for many years i have walked alone, even straight far from my home, i wasn't there but you cried, this time i did wave goodbye
