The Random Musings of a Man

So gas prices are out of control..

Yeah, I wasn't happy when gas went to 2 bucks a gallon, but I never thought I would see the day where gasoline would cost three dollars a gallon, Its going to affect everything I do, from where I live to where I work because I can't afford to drive the miles I'm driving right now to work and school. Its really frustrating too, because I was hoping on trying to go see Amanda again soon, and now with gas being so expensive I can't afford to drive to see her. And its not like I don't want to go do things, its just putting too big of a strain on me right now. I'm already dependent on my parents for so much, and they do so much for me, that the little bit I get to spend on myself at the end of the month isn't gonna go very far now....

I don't know how long these prices are going to last, I can't see them staying for long, but then again I said that when prices hit 2 dollars a gallon...

What do you type about when you're bored...

I have no clue, so this is random, becuase it can be :P

I'm bored, as evidenced by the title, so help me please. Maybe I should wander the vast wasteland that is the internet in search of a cheap laugh, or small chuckle...But I'm lazy..so why should I do that when I can fill my boredom updating this little thing.. Maybe its cause I miss my crush sooo much, or maybe its cause I'm not sure I should go out and spend any money on anything, especially with gas prices going the way they are going...

Speaking of Gas prices, I'm getting tired of people all knowing everything about what happens in the world of gas prices... I mean I know a little bit about nothing and I make sure that nobody knows that I know it until they get baffled with something they thought I had no clue about...

Its not much fun to know exactly what the teacher is talking about before the teacher says it... Its not much fun to have to sit through lectures and realize that everything you've learned has sooo much application to what you are learning. Its a whole lot of fun when you finish the teacher's sentence out loud and see the puzzled look on their face when you know it...

Why is it that I can make this post count from 1990? Why would I want this post be from 1990... why would I want this post to be in 2006...

Yes its random, yes its probably a pain in the ass to read. Yes its fun to have ADHD and know that every minute you're changing the channels in your head, so you guys have to deal with the randomness, cause its who I am :p

Wanted...A brain

Evidently mine is failing me. I think I need to put an ad out for a new one..

I'd like a clean one owner, with preferably low milage and good maintenance, one that seems to control its own destiny and one with a fairly good memory. It would be nice if it would remember where I put things. I'd also like it to have the new Hindsight feature, cause I've heard that the 20/20 vision option is a great upgrade... I wouldn't mind if it was cheap either. If your brain meets these requirements or you know of someone willing to donate their brain to someone in need feel free to post details about the Brain in question along with any further questions. Thanks in Advance....

So yeah its Bristol

Who doesn't like the racing action at Bristol. Its what has defined how much the sport of NASCAR Nextel Cup racing has grown over the past 15 years and shows how popular one little racetrack can become. Ask any person their favorite three tracks and I guarantee* that 4 out of those 5 will have Bristol as one of em. 15 second laps around a half mile circuit is pretty damn impressive, especially when you factor in the g forces that a driver undertakes on the circuit. One of the toughest tickets in all of NASCAR to get, going to Bristol is an experience that one cannot describe...Hopefully someday I'll manage to make my way there, and hopefully into the infield.


* Guarantees are silly and subject to the people you ask, and for this reason I'm typing this silly thing out so some smartass doesn't comment and say that they asked 5 people and none of em said they liked Bristol. :P

Student of the Course..

Its one of the few awards you can get from the school, and it rewards hard work in lab, or atleast the highest lab grade overall. Well its been a long time coming for myself, and I've been soo close before, losing on the first tiebreaker, missing by one point, messing up the endphase lab when you were the leader in the category. I finally broke through and in one of the coolest phases to do it in, and one I didn't expect to get it in.

Perfection is a hard target to get, and I was as close to getting it as you can get without actually being perfect. 100% in labwork and 99% in classwork. I'm really really proud of what I did today, it just seemed too easy to not be as good as it was. :D

$%@&@^& Internet

Yeah I've used the title before, and maybe this should be more for my roomate, but he managed to kill my connection for two days, which has really really sucked. Finally tonight I told him to directly connect me to the router, and voila it works! Freaking wahoo! I'm basically down to 15 weeks of school, and I'm so ready for it to be over. End of Phase tomorrow, which means extry fun quantities of stress for me!

This post is full of extra ADD rambling, because I'm just happy I can get back online and talk to my special girl Amanda again, I've missed her a lot the past two days, and I'm gonna miss her this weekend ;)

Random musings..

Thes musings are sorta stolen from Joey, but not really. I'm just bored and don't have much else to talk about...

Why is it that when one good thing comes up in your life, someone places 5 obstacles in your way to reaching that thing....

How come people can't come to terms with things and accept stuff for what it is, and quit overanalyzing situations... (I'm soo guilty of this one)

How come insecurities seem to come out at the worst possible times...

What would Jesus really do?....

Why some of these could be considered halfway funny....

Whether I should use these things and talk about em or just be lazy...

Whether that laziness is suppressed when I'm posting on this blog daily...

Who really cares what the next 7 letters say?...

Why we can msisepll words and slitl be able to read the word....

If Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus, where do Dogs come from?...

Why do those thoughts even show up in my head...

When someone will be brave enough to not try to sell something and just comment a nice comment on here...

Fuel Milage Races...

...Are awesome! Major props to Jeremy Mayfield, on a fuel milage win at Michigan today. I know there are many people who don't like races that are decided by fuel, but the drama and excitement of a race coming down to who has enough fuel in their car is one of the best things in auto racing. Plus the fact that newer or different guys can finally break through, or get a long deserved win is a great thing to see.

Scott Riggs, had an awesome finish with a car that wasn't even close to a top ten car, gets his best career finish.

Poor Matt Kenseth can't buy himself a break, has the car to beat at the end, but gets busted on strategy, but still managed to come home in third spot.

Onward to Bristol Baby! I can't wait for the wild and wooley racing action at the half mile high banked speedrome.

Saturday, August 20, 2005

Yay for the weekend!

After the fun fun of the week its nice to have a peaceful relaxing weekend to myself that I can spend talking to friends and family. Kinda tryin to work out a plan of attack for the future, its time to start banging on doors and seeing what kind of opportunities open up for me. I have some pretty high profile places that I'd like to start working at, but something tells me that I should try to get in on a start up organization or team to really accelerate the learning curve.

I've learned the past 50 weeks at school that the skills I've learned the past couple years and the things I've learned in school have really put me ahead of a lot of people here at this school and that I'm on the right track to my goals. Hopefully the pieces will all fall in place this fall, and I'll have a great job and be ready to make an awesome career work for me by Christmas time.

16 weeks to go!

yep, the count down is crawling slowly closer, and I can't wait for it to be over and I can get my career rolling! This class I can't say has been the most fun or educational, but its been a learning experience. Got to actually degree and find where the Camshaft should be located instead of measuring where a teacher put it. I must say that it was a really rewarding thing when you can get it done in 15 minutes when you see bunches of other people struggle with it. I got mine nailed :D

My foot is still in pain from last night, but now my knee doesn't hurt anymore. I think I just jammed it up real bad and there isn't really anything that a doctor could do about it. I'll just take it easy this weekend and it should be better on Monday, cause its gonna be a long week if it doesn't get better.

Thursday, August 18, 2005

Karma......

Remind me never to do somthing that I could have come back on myself, cause it sucks.... I got locked out of the place tonight and what fun that was. 4 hours later one fall and one broken bucket I ended up getting into the place. My roomate was sorry for everything, and I guess I should just be glad that I'm in the place talking to my mom about apartments on the phone and looking at the wonderful face of Amanda right now.

Wednesday, August 17, 2005

Rent and roomates...

Anybody want to come down here and life with me for a year... I could use somebody who knows how to open a door, doesn't use his mom to pay all the bills, and can say more tha three words a week to you. If you fit that description and have the insane desire to Move to the Charlotte area please feel free to call me or email me sometime.

Now that I've said that, I hate the hoop jumping I'm gonna have to go through to get the Apartment I'm in into my name and sign another year long lease. Its gonna be bunches of fun I can tell you that. It would be soo much better if I was in a better financial position, but right now I'm not, and I'm afraid that I'm gonna end up SOL here at this place even though its soo nice. Argh.

Tuesday, August 16, 2005

Hey Hey Hey

I just felt like saying that. Ever just feel like saying something? something stupid, random, off the wall... My whole day has been like that, but if you time things just right, you can make the stupidest phrase be the funniest thing someone has heard. Today, I told one of my friends in a serious tone, while doing somewhat serious work out in lab that I like pie. Needless to say, he managed to nearly find the floor in laughter... I'm still kinda amazed at that.

On a side note, I've had bunches of fun with my roomate the past two days, realizing how much of an idiot he is, and how much his mom wants to run his life. She'd probably be here every day if she could.... 30 phone calls in one night from mom...one call from my roomate...whats wrong with this picture...

Monday, August 15, 2005

Mondays revisited..

Boring as hell! thats what they are! Maybe its cause I don't have Amanda to talk to to make me smile right now, but I'm freaking bored! School was boring, and I had a couple times where I almost fell asleep.... Work was alright, but now my knee is freaking killing me. I should probably get it checked out before it gets worse.... Both my right Knee and foot hurt, I hope it isn't interconnected. That'll suck if it does.

Sunday, August 14, 2005

Blog Spam...

Its annoying! Come on, if you're gonna comment on my blog, don't go around selling your blog, or products or services to me. I like to know what people think about what I type, and get spam in return... Its really really starting to annoy me. If you really want me to get stuff, send me junk mail like everybody else, but quit spamming the heck out of my little slice of the Blogging world.

In other news, Tony Stewart is starting to annoy me, come on dude, let somebody else win. :p Congrats bud, you're making it hard on everybody else and making the 42 other guys look silly out there right now. Congrats to the whole 20 team.

Saturday, August 13, 2005

Green Yellows....

I'm really starting to hate the new Green Yellow practice that NASCAR has gone to. Its stupid to run nearly 20% of a race under the caution flag before even taking the green flag. I understand their reasons but people are paying for a show, and the show must go on no matter how late it starts. Don't get into that big of a hurry to keep these guys from racing. I understand maybe 1 or 2 or 3 green yellow laps, but its a roadcourse race that lasts 82 laps guys! I don't need the first 17 under yellow!

On the other hand my guy, Ryan Newman took the checkers in the race, winning on pit strategy, and running out on the cool down lap. Gooooo Ryan!!!!

Road Courses revisited.

Round Two of the NASCAR Nextel Cup series on Road Courses comes up at Watkins Glen this weekend. The usual supects are running, guys like Boris Said, Ron Fellows and Scott Pruett. I'm still wondering if any of em can pull off a victory in either sub par equipment, or with a team that isn't used to racing week in and week out. So close but yet so far, can they pull it off this weekend... I seriously doubt it.

On a side note, one week of NASCAR classes down, 17 to go. December 9th is coming up faster and faster, and I can't wait. :D

Thursday, August 11, 2005

Silly Season indeed.

Its been one wild Silly Season already and its only August! Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray both signing for rides, in 2007! Jason Leffler gets fired from his ride, and Mikey Waltrip not returning to DEI in 2006. Amazing rides are going to be up for grabs in 2006 and its never been on this big of a scale so soon in the year. So much change so little time. There are shockers bound, just like the bombshell dropped this week, coming soon.

Okay so I don't have a whole lot to talk about today, but today was a good day, and I'm hoping the next few are just like it.

Having the time of my life.

I'm having more fun in school, more fun in my life, more fun in everything I've done in the past week. The feeling is so awesome I can't explain. I'm still really happy about what I did last weekend, and here it is Wednesday. I'm in the coolest class since I've started school, working on NASCAR Nextel Cup motors donated from Robert Yates Racing. Its soo cool having stuff that you know costs thousands of dollars in your hands. I'm just so lucky to have what I do, and do what I'm doing. I couldn't ask for anything else.

Tuesday, August 09, 2005

The NASCAR Nextel Cup engine

Is freaking sweet! Although they are donated pieces that'll never see a racetrack again, they are still awesome things to get to work on. I'm soo happy that I stuck out the past 48 weeks of school, because the past two days have been worth it. plus we are finally spending a bunch of time out in lab, which is really good :D

Oh and I'm still feeling the effects of my trip on Saturday, and still happy for what I did. I just can't wait for us to meet again. Someday soon, hopefully before the middle of October. Somebody wanna donate 180 bucks so I can get her out here?

Monday, August 08, 2005

Amanda..

I'm not really sure whether I should be happy or sad after what has happened this weekend. On one hand, I met a girl who happens to be beautiful, smart, funny, and can make me smile at will. On the other hand I met a girl who happens to be beautiful, smart, funny, and 700 miles away from where I live...

Meeting Amanda was so much better than I could have ever imagined, I had an awesome time with her. Sure she had to bring some friends, and I didn't get to spend the time I wanted alone with her, but seeing and spending time with her was incredible. Words don't describe how I feel about her right now. I feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful, sweet, caring person like Amanda.

Hallowed Grounds

The Brickyard, in all its grandour, provided us with a pretty darned entertaining race today. Yeah there wasn't a whole lot of a flow, and the track lends itself to single file racing. But I can't remember an Indy race where I've seen so many two and three wide racing through the pack, and I was really impressed. Congrats for winning your dream Tony, you had the car to beat when it counted, and I've never seen someone more excited for winning a race. Its so refreshing to see the excitement of a driver winning a race like that.

I've had an awesome weekend, and I need to do stuff like I did more often, cause it was great!

Thursday, August 04, 2005

Stupid Bill.

Ever know you are doing something, and you're pretty damn sure you are doing it right, but aren't getting the results?

Thats how my day went. I made a stupid mistake trying to Bullshit a known good thing on a test where they were looking for the wrong pattern. Which really really messed me up. I'm still not happy about it and it happened 7 hours ago. grrrr. I really had a shot at being student of the course, but nooooo had to make a stupid mistake. Thankfully only 1 day to go before I start the NASCAR side of the school. I'm sooo looking forward to it. Tomorrow I have to do really well to keep my A average, so wish me luck everybody!

Wednesday, August 03, 2005

Updated site...

No more Ads! Only cause the people at google didn't like the number or the repeated action of friends trying to help someone out... So I don't have anymore of em on here!

I signed up for a website to help spread the word on this thing, Blog Explosion, where I get viewers by viewing other people's blogs. Basically the more I view other people's sites, the more views of my site I get. Which hopefully this little thing can take off. I'd really like to see that. So spread the word mangs! :p

Tuesday, only 3 more days til the weekend.

Bet nobody knew that there were only three more days til the weekend, huh? I'm getting excited about doing stuff this weekend to celebrate my finishing of the core side of classes at school, and knowing that I'll only have 18 weeks of school to go. School sadly has become increasingly boring, mostly cause I'm actually getting a grasp on what happens in a car.

On a side note, I learned today that my car is drive-by-wire, which means there isn't any actual connection between my foot and the throttle. Suprisingly enough, My car has excellent throttle responce even without the physical connection to the throttle blades. Still not all that sure about potential steer-by-wire systems, and brake-by-wire seems like a risky, but potentially good combinations. Still kinda amazed at all the technology involved into today's automobiles.

Remaining songs and an update

Alex, has guessed pretty much everyone of the songs, but she's got a few she doesn't know. :p Here they are.

Friday
4. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Sunday
3. Nobody gonna take my girl
I’m gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Oooh she’s a killing machine
She’s got everything
Like a moving mouth body control
And everything

7. I know, I know, you’ll probably scream and cry
That your little world won’t let you go
But who in your measly little world, (-uh)
Are you tryin’ to prove to that you’re
Made out of gold and-uh, can’t be sold

8. I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.


10. And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

and a Hint. The remaining artists: Rush, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Derek and the Dominoes, Deep Purple.

Told ya I'd update, School is almost done with for the Core general Auto classes, which is really nice. Plus I think I'm gonna treat myself real well this weekend. Hopefully I get Student of the Course, I'd really love one of those pins. :D
