Apathetic. My sub-conscience tells me its time to get a different car.

Meh.

I can’t believe how bored I am right now. I have three days off from work for the long weekend. Definitely nice! I was getting tired of my job!

Planning to go to Calgary with the parents this weekend for shits and giggles, and knowing I’ll be within driving distance of my car :’(
Please hurry, VEX!

Dropped off my first generation iPod at the UPS Store today! Hopefully I’ll receive my new nano soon!

I always hear there is so much to do in Edmonton, but that is a bunch of lies. Maybe I’m boring, but here are the only things I can think of..

• Raves
• Bars
• BBT
• Speeders
• Food

Raves, bars.. no thanks. I’ll leave that for the e-tards. Just kidding, I’m sure a lot of people go just to have fun without doing drugs.

BBT, no. I’m sick of it.
Speeders, no. I suck at driving.
Food, no. I’m broke.

Which leaves… nothing to do in Edmonton. If I could afford it I think I would have moved to Calgary by now. In the near future maybe depending on my school situation! :D

Day 36 and I’m at the point where I don’t even feel like caring anymore. I’ve put so much unnecessary stress on myself for no reason. Its like self-torture, don’t know why I do this to myself.

Funny though, once it gets back, I’m modding it even more. Incurable addiction.

There is something about blogging that makes me feel super relieved. O_O

Not many people use Tumblr for its intended purpose and its quite sad. I’m guilty of this too, since pretty much all I follow are people who post/reblog pictures.

Anyway, summer is finally here! Apparently it was 22°C today which is amazing. It was so nice out!

I rearranged my room and now it looks like a smaller room but it definitely feels more comfortable and cozy. There is also a 46” LCD TV in it now >:D it only took 4 hours to rearrange everything last night. I will never do it overnight again. I slept at 4 and had to wake up at 9 to go to work..

First late(ish)-night McDonalds run for me last night. Got nuggets and boy it sure felt like summer as I was eating it. Thank god for fresh McNuggets.

Work and school is consuming my personal life. I work pretty much every day 9-5 and at 6 every day I have school until 930 at night. The only days I have off are Saturdays and one odd week day. NEVER A FRIDAY :(

Here’s my life
WORK MONDAY to FRIDAY = NO FRIDAYS OFF =  NO VOLLEYBALL = NO SOCIAL LIFE = GETTING FAT =  UGLIER = LOW SELF-ESTEEM.

But sacrifices are part of growing up according to my boss. What does she know?!
Sundays I get off at about 5 but by then everything is pretty much closed unless I want to eat, which gets quite expensive if I always do it!

I’m exciting to see what happens in the next few months with post secondary coming around the corner. I have a few options in mind and I hope everything goes smoothly.

Surprisingly by the looks of it, it doesn’t look like we’re having an “extended” group this year. Which is the first in 3 years that I’ve been out of high school. Its usually pretty exciting to see who my summer crew is, but just the same old crew this year. LAME lol jk I know you’re reading this brandon/jeff/sandy

Bratrwinimyfrey apparently is what its called when we combine all of our names together. Anything at this point sounds better than stupid “Wolfpack” <— FOIGS

Things to accomplish this summer

• get bigger (I say this every summer and it never happens)
• learn how to cook like Pho King Jimmy
• raise vertical once knee is completely healed
  
• pay off err thing
  
• save up for big things
• have fun, enjoy life
  
• get into post secondary

Things to look forward to this summer

• anything life decides to throw at me
• WSC meet 2012
• hitting up stratotech for the last 2 or 3 events
• test drive brz
• meeting new people! (not sure how this will be achieved. time to social climb)

I finally get my car back from VEX some time later this week, if not early early next week. Its been 24 days today. Almost a whole month without seeing it. Hell, even my friends missed it. Apparently.

I will never (okay maybe not never) ask a shop to do 100 mods for me at once. It only took VEX longer because they have been short staffed for awhile but the wait is almost unbearable! I sound like a car freak but those who love their car as much as I do will probably have an idea of what I am going through.

Probably the last time I will be purchasing aftermarket parts for awhile. I have a few other things left to do including a better oil pickup to replace the crappy Subaru one, just so my engine won’t go ka-put.

I don’t think I’ve been so excited to get my car back since the first day I actually bought it.

Anyway, I don’t like talking too much about cars cause all my friends think I’m too obsessive about it. I can’t deny and say I’m not, but its just so satisfying making it better. Something one won’t understand until they’ve done it I guess.

I wish my friends would buy tune-able cars and mess around with them like I do. Common misconception is you need a nice expensive car to play around with. That is definitely not the case. I’ve driven a miata and those things are quick and they cost less than 5 grand. No one can say they don’t have that money.

Onto the next post..

..when people blog / reblog pictures of adv.1 wheels and rota wheels.

Sure they may be nice wheels, but ADV.1 doesn’t have JWL/TUV stamp on most if not all of their product line, and Rota’s are.. well, bad rep from their history. But at least most their products are JWL approved. Just 10x heavier than their non-replica counter parts.

Just a mini rant.

21 days without my car.

Got nothing to floss on whyte lolol. THE HELL MAN.

Time to give VEX a call tomorrow. They’re going to hear it. >=|

I was driving in the fozzy today, the fun factor is -5. I didn’t mind for a second. I felt like that is my main car. Hell I was starting to enjoy driving automatic.
I feel like I sold the damn thing already.

Distance is supposed to make me miss it but now I’ve just grown a part from it.

That thing is actually a pretty ugly car. Blue and gold? Gigantic wing? For fuck sakes there is a hole in the hood!

I’m just hateful right now. When I get my car back I will take all my negative comments about it back LOL :|
