The Mini is back in action, for awhile now. I backed up my stuff to my 160GB external drive, so it finally has 16GB free. No file system damage luckally. Been computing happily since that back-up and the best part..? The machine runs faster with less stuff cramping the system.
The Roadster (or MX-5 Miata) got an oil change and it now runs harder... Though I have heard it can potentially run even better if I did the Mobil 1 oil conversion with a Mobil 1 oil filter. That will be for the next round. I may look into new brake lines (stainless steel Goodridge ones) with new Valvoline SynPower brake fluid with Hawk HPS or EBC Green Stuff brake pads. An increased brake bite would be SICK! Only if I had $1,000 for a coilover system and a couple hundred to do massive suspension upgrades. I now am dreaming of some new wheels... Either some Rota Subzeros or Slipstreams with Kumho all-season tires... Brake cooling improvement with better launches and saved gas mileage.
My mind has been running on high frequency strategy as Bonny's gift of Metal Gear AC!D 2 has been constantly testing my mind about how to run a fight effectively. It's pure love for my mind as it basks in the tactical thought processes almost constantly. Initial D has been fun when I take a dip into racing cars... Even that is loaded chock full with timing and strategy!
Life has been interesting as I have found that things are quickly slipping my fingers. Like sand being blown away by the wind, I am just witnessing my life fly past me. I am becoming that eroded natural sculpture, as the sands of time go past me, they chip, erode and sand away my very existance and life. Some force in my soul is saying "Go back and forgive... Get with the times." The other force of my soul is saying "You are too young to forgive and return... Do you wish to cause them needless pain? Be not a fool, continue as you are."
It has been coming back with more force with the last few weeks, but I want to improve my soul and travel beyond my spiritual roots. I ask my mind to forgive my stubborn nature as I desire to become the strongest I may be.
It is like that one noble line from Tool's new album... "Vicarious I live while the whole world dies." I just seem to destroy the worlds of others to prolong mine. I am truly a vampirical being in that sense.
