luck & karma & such

A few months ago, I was joking about how my truck burned up, my house burned up and since I'm still here and going, I figured things would be looking up soon. Now my Honda needs a new carb on it. The one on it is too far gone to be salvaged. I have gone crashing past my comfort zone and now I have to borrow money to get my car on the road. The tragic part is that it is just small enough of an amount that it is worth fixing, but much more and I should just get another car. I think there is more life left to it, I just have to get past the "used and abused" damage and get it back on track.

Even as the price is bad enough, my real problem is that no body can get the part to me untill Wendsday.

Screwed

My 85 Honda obviously has a major problem. The guy I tend to trust as a mechanic has had it for 3 days to rebuild the carbuerator on it. I have seen this guy rebuild an engine in a day or less and right now he can't get my car straight. I'm supposed to work tonight at pizza, but Hell, no car, no work. If he can't finish by today....I'm screwed. I'll most likely get fired.

irony

I want to be creative, make a web-comic, a haloween costume, a good blog entry.....SOMETHING. Alas, I have found I cannot be clever on command. I will admit to wanting to do a web comic, I just don't seem to have the ability to relate witty commentary with art. I might try to do a few and post them to see how they do. I will be posting some social commentary very soon on my other blog. Lotta crap I have a strong opinion on happening these days.

My old high school buddy Nathan is in town for a few days. With Paul living in Burlington, we've gotten together a few times. This is the first time we've all been together in about 10 years. We need to get a picture together before he heads for the rapids in WV. I covet his pickup. Wish we had more time, but I'm busy, Paul's busy,and Nate is trying to score a new job on the East coast. Time is a precious commodity.

I'm maintaining the house, finally got another washer & dryer, that seems to be going well so far.
Over the next week, I need to organize my back porch and get the yard sale ready. However, I did repair one of my phone lines. Now I have and easily accessible jack yay me.

My car is out of commission, temporarily I hope. This is going out of my expenditure comfort-zone to repair it. Not fixing it will ruin me.

I'm eager to see if I do well this summer on limited funds. This will prove to me if I can exist megerly while I finish my BA. Must finish school, teachers don't get paid much, but it's a damn sure sight better than my current income. Only working one job & having Summers off would be heaven for me.

Alright, now I must sleep.
