Goals

I realized yesterday, to do everything I want to finish my truck would cost about $800. I'm not too sure I see that happening. I might drop another 200-300 in cosmetics and let it ride from there.

I have not lost any weight since Christmas. I'm right at 250, so I'm just spinning my wheels.

I'm stuggling with college right now, I shouldn't even be writing this, but I can't study non-stop either. I will pass, I will succeed, but it sure is awful stressful right now.

Other than these reason, and never having enough money, my life is pretty good. I know I am loved and respected, and sometimes that is enough.

I like teaching, but I want to teach, not discipline. Where I work, there is so little teaching being done, we basically try to undo what thier worthless parents have been doing to ruin them.

I kinda wish there was a way to make my hair grow back, I'd grow it long. I think being the old, well-built biker guy with a white ponytail would look cool. Since that's not happening, I guess I'll be the scary bald guy.

Anna Nichole Smith.....

This is a classic example of Hollywood excess turned into tradgedy. She was a gold-digging stripper that made a career out of being a gold-digging stripper. She married a millionaire that was seconds away from death, became a playboy model ( I kinda like the larger, trashy-type). got fat, lost weight, and was having a rare comeback and died. She most likely died from OD'ing on all those painkillers. Like so many before, her body could not handle what she was doing to it and it quit.

I like the irony of her "trimspa" ads...."be envied". Nobody envies the dead.

I need an accountant!

I'm rotten with money. I think it mainly stems from the fact I make so little, but sometimes I wonder if I had more money (like when I graduate) would I be better off, or would I spend it all and still be broke? I really don't know. If I were to budget myself and set aside a certain ammount of savings, I'm pretty sure I'd do ok. I guess I need to figure out how to make enough cash to do some things I like and still be able to put money back. It's hard to live within you means when you make near-poverty level income.

It's alive....ALIVE!!!!

The Caddy runs. It fired up on the first shot, but it will need a lot of TLC before it's ready to ride. The good news is that almost all of the problems are cosmetic. I think the kids will really love riding aroung in my giant convertable.
