Last night, I went home with the resolve to clean up all my main rooms, then after dinner, my knee started killing me. I'm mean barely walk pain. I sat out and played a little gunbound, talked to Robyn, and listened to some XM. About 10:00, my knee felt better, I cleaned my kitchen and it looks good again. I'm going to want to detail scrub the floors at a later point. The downside of grout is it is usually put in the homes of poeple who are neater and more together than I am.....and for very good reason. They require care and upkeep to continue looking nice and I'm not much on that stuff.
My parents want me to do work under their house. I did some of it last week. A heating duct fell and has turned the crawl-space into an incubator for the most foul mold.I was under there for 15 minutes and came out with a headache and a low grade fever. Now they want to me to go back and repair the duct as well as run a vapor barrier. I want an oxygen supply and a hazmat suit.

2 weeks.....no car
The fellow working on he CV is taking his sweet time, as expected. I've learned I'm not as dependant on a car as I thought. I won't really NEED a car until I go to college. The Vic is a comfortable ride, but not practical. I was thinking about my ideal car. They are as follows.
1. Mechanically sound
2. Very cheap on gas
3. Affordable price wise
4. Comfortable.
If price were no object and I could afford whatever. I do have a list of cars I'd preferr.
1. Hummer H2 - I just like them. Nothing says "I have more than you!! nyaa nyaa nyaa" like the H2.
2. Mercrury Merauder It is a souped up Grand Maquis / Crown Vic, Basically a 4 door luxury Mustang Cobra. Does Mustang Cobra sound wierd to anyone other than me? It's like something Napoleon Dynamite would have drawn. " It a Mustang Cobra half horse - half poisonous snake, feared for it's skills in magic. Idiot!"
3. Dodge Viper - This car runs on testosterone. Panties melt within a 200 yd radius of a Viper. Mind you, I'm not looking, but I like to be looked at.
4. Ford F-150 crew cab 4x4 sport. The truck is just awesome to me. I'd put 33" tires on it.
Every redneck would give up thier Dale Earnhardt swag to be you when you drive by.
Hell, any car would be decent about now.

Cruel intentions
http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,18161866%255E663,00.html
The above link goes to the Bali Nine herion trafficking trial. The two ringleaders recieved death sentences by firing squad the remainder were life in prison. Sounds harsh to western ears, but in a part of the world where shoplifting can get 20 years, not so much. So I thought a little commentary is in order.
I feel little mercy for drug dealers. They chose to traffick in Bali because of the high profit. There is such a high profit because there is such a risk if caught. More than a few Eastern countries offer up a death sentence for brining illegal drugs into thier country and I can't say I blame them. They have seen the ravages of drug abuse first hand and made a hard decision on a hard problem, and who are we to judge? Perhaps we are way too soft on drugs and thier traffickers. How many lives are ruined in our country due the the devastating effects of drugs?
These nine, from 19 to 26 in age, have sent a message that millions will hear: don't bring your drugs to Bali. If nine willing law breakers pay a heavy price for thier crimes, is it worth it?
The saddest part is, I actually approve of the legalization a marijuna. The taxible revenue would do wonders. I think there would be residual benifits I can't even imagine, but if a country takes a hard stance against drugs, should we feel bad about their plight? I can't say I do.

valentine's day blues
I have the night off, but my g/f has to work a double tonight. No Valentines for us. I'm so broke with my car situation right now that I couldn't do anything anyway. While i'm listening to internet radio and eating ramen noodles, I'll be thinking of her.
The only positive of this situation is that I reall need to do laundry.
The completely overblown gas prices make me want to look into electric heat. If I had not had a $250 heating bill, I'd be a tad better off money - wise, the car situation didn't help either....
Guilford College seems to be interested in getting me financial aid to start up this summer. I'm not approved for any yet, so here's to hope. I might actually look good on paper.
Robyn's family sees me like a family member. I guess that's cool, I've been around for about 8 years now and deep down I'm a nice guy.
Nice guys finish last, I need to be more hateful.
