Well as you can tell, I have been missing in action since August 9th, 2007!
I am truly sorry for this, and really have no explination as to why I just up and disappeared.
I can also inform you that I will not be doing the quot of the day any longer, I still read the books but am finding it hard to get on the computer during the day to do the work.
Well a LOT has happen in the months I have been gone.
I bought the lift for my truck!
I started a new semester at school.
I was broadsided (still have Tess though :-P)
I quit my job (yet am back at it again, tell you later)
I passed my classes and went to London, England for the first time ever!
I have a boyfriend, then we broke up, and we are again back together.
I started my spring semester.
I am here.
Lets begin with the lift for the truck.
Finally after saving and so on I purchased the lift for the truck.
It still sits in my room to this day, waiting to get powder coated and put on.
But It will get one.
A week after I recieved the lift in the mail, I was broadsided by a 1992 Dodge Cumming Pickup Truck.
Over 4K worth in damages but the truck was still repaired! Thank God, Cause I would have cried after all teh money I put into her.
For the 2-almost three months that the truck was in the shop I drove around a POS rental which was a Dodge Caliber....
Also in the 2-3 months that tess was in teh shop I quit my job, and also started dating a wonderful guy.
Let me tell you a little about my Boyfriend Bryan.
He is a year older then me, a little shorter than me, brown hair, hazel eyes, and very blunt lol!
He's different then any other guy I have dated, hell he is different period.
One of the major things that I love about him.
He is punkish on the border of goth but not really?
He drive a cool car and has awesome freinds and family.
He is in school and will be graduating before I am done. (more to as why a little later.
When he broke up with me for a month I was mortified, but moved on quickly do to the way he had broken up with me.
I felt if I didn't move on that I wouldn't be able to control my life.
Then one day he contacted me and we talked and since then things are slowly getting better.
A little about my trip to London.
OMG!!! My aunt flew us First Class, I about droped dead in the terminal when she told me.
It was the greatest experience, hell, the champagne tasted great, AND I DON'T EVEN NORMALLY LIKE CHAMPAGNE!
The London experience was great, walked around, mastered the "Tube" system in a day, and was able to go to pubs and order drinks!
While I did not get drunk on this trip, It was still fun to be able to actually be legal lmao!
Many thanks to my aunt, I don't know how I will ever be able to repay her!
As for me going back to the job, I tired so hard, but with schoo I jsut couldn't get another job that would work around my schedule.
So I ended up just going back to the fresh.
I just need money to spend, I will only be stuck there till May 2010.
Why this date is specific is because that is the date I will be graduating Universal Technical Institute!
Yes! I am finally going to a school for something I love to do, and they have a TOYOTA program.
So I am in heaven with that!
I start Sept. 15th and that date can not come fast enough,
Ofcourse I am still going to get my associates this summer from Deltech but still WooHoo!
Since I will be attending UTI I need to get a commuter car and have settled on finding myself a Mazda Miata.
They are fun, yet fuel efficent so I can't wait to get one, a convertible rear wheel drive, manual transmisson, with airbags, car, something that is rare to find these days.
Anyway that about all at the momment I can think of since my mind is running a mile and minutes and my elbow is starting to hurt.
I will post more later as Ideas come to me since I have been dreaming a lot latly and can seem to stop my mind for one second.
not discourage. The human spirit is
to grow strong, by conflict.
--William E. Channing
is to take off our colored spectacles.
That being-as-it-is,
with nothing extraordinary about it,
nothing wonderful, is the great wonder.
The ability to see things normally
is no small thing;
to be really normal is the unusual.
In that normality begins to bubble up
inspiration.
Sessan
For better seeing.
Nor to peer from a window. Rather abide
At the center of your being:
For the more you leave it, the less you learn.

what one proposes to do.

by changing there inner attitudes of their minds,
can change the outer aspects of their lives.

Your portrait and the intoxicating evening
which we spent together yesterday
have left my senses in turmoil.
Sweet, incomparable Josephine,
what a strange effect
you have on my heart!

and there man can glimpse
that which is to be

from the world of substance.

is not only a Zen exercise,
but you get the dishes
clean too.

Who looks outside dreams.
Who looks inside, awakes.

The first attempts are absolutely unbearable.
I say this because I want you to know what if you
see something worthwhile in what i am doing,
it is not by accident but because of real direction and purpose.

I finally learned there was in me

Doubt that the sun doth move;

This is Buddhism!

and endeavors to live the life
which he had imagined,
he will meet with a success

And through the wild-piled snowdrift
The warm rosebuds below.
