So, my car finally kicked the bucket. I was asking for it for a long time. I mean, it had always been in terrible shape, but I managed to hold it together for about six and a half years. But on Friday, as I was coming off the 10 loop, there was a loud crack/thud/thingy that went off and it felt like my tire was going to come off and I thought I was going to die. It would probably cost too much to try and fix it (though I'll see what it would take...), so I'm just gonna get rid of it. I weep for my Saturn. It's sad to see it go, even though it wasn't a great car. It was the only car I've had as my own for all these years. Sad nostalgia.
And that sucked. That was when the shit hit the fan. I'll have you know, I'm no rich man. I'm sure you were unaware. So I needed a car. Luckily, Mike was willing to sell me one of his old cars for a pretty darn good deal, so now I'm cruising around in a Ford Taurus as of earlier today. It has been extremely stressful and difficult dealing with this situation and having to rely on Sarah's car for transportation.
Damn, do I need a break. Shit just does not stop coming. I was talking to Mike today and he was telling me that sometimes issues just take a while to work out. I told him I was still waiting. That's the goju principle I guess, "Don't stop!" Life don't quit. But I'm looking for something to go my way. It never seems to.
I'm hoping and praying that I can find a new job. Working hard on that right now. Still haven't heard about grad school. Future up in the air.
Does anyone still stay up past 12 anymore? Life gets really boring and lonely when everyone's a geezerbob who won't stay awake and hang out.
On a different note, I've managed to really rock some friendships and its having strange consequences. Life is a trip, que no? I'm amused and sad at the same time about that. But I'm in a no bullshit mode. How everything will play out is up in the air as well. Good to know something is certain.
