The Smell of a New Car
Those of you who don't follow me on twitter will hopefully be happy to learn that I finally got that new car I've been wanting to get ever since I wrecked my old one about six months ago (don't ask).
Well, it's here, it's small, it's white, it's brand new and it does an excellent job at getting me from point A to point B quickly and with air-conditioning. Plus, its cheap-ass stereo fortunately has an auxiliary input jack on the front panel, which means I can plug in my iPod and never worry about commercials or the horrible reception around my home-, er, -town (if you can call it that).
All in all, it's a small bundle of joy. Kinda like a baby, only pricier and with less pooping.
Now, here's the important part: I've been using the "I'm working on getting a car" bit as an excuse to not do anything else with my life. And now that I've done it, I'm free to pursue my other strategic life goals, first and foremost of which being to move out.
Taking up Aikido is also somewhere in there, but that's really a pretty fresh decision, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.
