Mwuh-hahahahahahaha!

So I'm going through all my old shit as I am packing, trying to throw away everything I don't need (not so easy - I am a hell of a pack rat), and I find this old CD tower full of empty CD cases. I'm going through it, check it cause I know some aren't empty, and I start remembering how I used to...

I wonder how lucky I am? I wonder if I'm lucky enough that the dead cylinder on my engine is only because of a shitty piston ring. If so, and the cylinder walls aren't rusted, I just have them hone the walls, clean everything up, and bolt it all back together. Total that'd cost in the neighborhood of thirteen hundred bucks and I'd have a 400hp engine. This way I could get my project rolling a lot sooner and could save up money for a serious build a year or so down the line (overbore, aluminum heads, hi-ris intake, et cetera).

But then it comes back to if I did the serious build from the get go, I'd save money in the long run, but would have an engine that would have to sit around for a little while during the time I'd have to save up money for the rest of the car....what to do, what to do....

Two decisions.

1) The engine. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to rebuild the one I have with stock everything (assuming the pistons are resuable for cheap), except an aftermarket cam, intake, headers and caburetor. With the stock 10:1 compression and a moderately aggressive camshaft and a good intake with good carb and custom headers (no other way with this engine) I'll be looking at...

Astrocreep 2000 is a perfect album.

I'm pretty sick to my stomach. I ran out of one of my stomach medications, dragged ass on getting it refilled, then ran out of the other! eeek This is going to be a very painful weekend. Fuck it, bring it on! ARRR!!!

Talked to my oldest brother today. He insisted that I come and live with him and his wife...

Boy did I make a big mistake.

I smoked two whole cigarettes today and now I would murder for a third. I am seriously thinking of going down to the gas station and buying a pack and taking one cigarette out and tossing the pack into the trash. See, I have this thing of when I'm quitting smoking I can have no more then three...

Not smoking is kind of cool. OK, so I had one cigarette today, but that's pretty fucking good considering.

Got a Ted Nugent CD just for the song "Strangehold".

So here's the plan for the engine;

Engine: bored out to 540 cubic inchs, 550-600hp/650-700ft-lbs
Transmission: Either a TH400 built to the teeth with an Overdrive gear added (about $1500)

OR

A Quadzilla $2600 four-speed "automatic"...

Shit , your complaining about a hail storm , we got 5 + days of snow slated for up here starting tonight . You should be able to find tons of old pickups in good condition down there .

Ted Nugent's "Strangehold" is an amazing fucking song, even more amazing considering that asshole never even used to get drunk and party when he was a rock star. Either way, I want this song played at my funeral as they lower me into the ground.

Come to find out, my sister-in-law's father is like a hardcore drag racer in Seattle. As in, he has a...

I love sleeping in until noon. The only thing that sucks about it is I wake up feeling worn out and it takes me a while to get going. Course it could be that I'm dehydrated from sweating so fucking much last night. I'm not as sick as I was, and am feeling half human finally, but I'm still sweating like some kind of carnival...

yeah, I don't have either of those things. no power steering, disc/drum breaks (not anti-lock), no sunroof (crank or otherwise). the power locks were easy to install when I got a whole alarm/stereo job done and he didn't charge me for them. the guy I go to for my stereo work is very good and honest to a fault. he's never gonna be rich because he's always taking care of people. he always gives me a good deal because I'm a repeat customer. I found him when my old alarm malfunctioned and triggered the engine kill on the highway. I had my car towed to the mechanic next door to him. he went out in the rain and took out the alarm for free, then called me to follow up on my electrical problems. good people.
I have since bought two stereo systems for myself, a cd changer for my brother cufflinks, and a changer for my dad... I am soooo loyal to business owners with good customer service.

I'm having a good day. Almost a great day. Come 10:00PM I'll know if it's just a good day or a great day (come 1:00AM I'll know if it's a PERFECT day or not... wink ).

I woke up feeling like shit and almost didn't go to school. When I got there I got a test back in my first class. Got an 80. The average...

I worked a little too hard tonight and I'm feeling it now.

Four days with no nicotine - not even a single fucking puff. Christ this sucks, but it is getting easier. I suppose what the say about the Three Day Hump is true.

Am still very bummed out by Hunter Thompson's death. But, at the same time, I can't help but respect his decision....

Hunter S. Thompson is dead.

The sorrow I feel cannot be fully expressed. Sufficed to say, if I had a picture of myself crying, this is where I would put it. This man had a more profound effect on my life then anyone outside of my own bloodline.

Cliche as it may be, his writings truly changed me. They showed me that reading could be...

So I'm watching "El Chupacabra" on VHS. Horrid movie, but what pisses me off the most is that NO ONE pronounces chupacabra right.

Now remember, it is bad luck to say the name of the goat sucker aloud, so don't do it around me (even though I say it all the time).

Chew - pah - caaa - bRah (roll that R for all it's worth).

Chew - pah - caaa - bRah.

Very easy to do. I'd think someone that was making a movie about this fucking thing, even if it's a No Budget movie, would have one of the Mexicans on set teach the lead female role how to pronounce the word correctly (this is not an obscure legend in the Mexican communities of the Southern United States I assure you).

That is the kind of ignorance that pisses me off. You spend money on something, a lot of money, and then don't do something so simple as training your LEAD ACTRESS on how to say ONE WORD correctly. Especially when she is playing someone who is a supposed "expert" in the field of the Chupacabra.
