i thought i blew out my cv joints & transmission in one motion. the transmission alone would be around $1200. i only need a car for 2 more months til i will be on the road all the time and have no use for you "car owners" and your solo transportation lifestyles. so instead of having to shell out nearly 2 grand for a car i paid that much for 3 years ago, i will only have to pay $285. evidently all it was was a broken axle. the cv joints came loose causing the axel to pop out - thus, caiusing the transmission to miss on all gears. i should have my car back klater today, assuming all goes well.
after being in NYC last weekend, i wanted to move there. i want to live where i dont need a car. i hate owning a car, but its a near necessity in nashville. new york is so expensive & i hated all the hipsters & the food was awful & i have never seen so many fake designer watches/purses/sunglasses/etc & i didnt even get to go anywhere cool & i hate the yankees & i hate yankees fans & i want to move to new york city. they have magic underground trains that dont even have smoke stacks. this simple southern boy was really impressed. all the servers & bar tenders in manhattan are the nicest people in the world. i talked to several of them. actually, they talked to me. they all were really personable. i was kind of caught off guard. new yorkers are pegged by most people as being jackasses. one even gave me a pep talk about something i was very concerned with in my life. i am not usually one to talk to strangers about personal issues, but it came up in conversation.
anyway, life is pretty good. there are bumps in the road, but everything is going well. starting in june, i will be on tour full time with the pink spiders. that will be my job. my only job. i will be gone most of the summer with them. we'll be with the pixies, the killers, weezer, the warped tour, the von bondies & maybe the hives (no not all at the same time). i am hoping that the warped tour dates will be on the part of the tour billy idol will be on. i do feel a little funny abot the whole thing, but when it comes down to it, i am being paid pretty well to hang out with bob fort.
