Ah shit time to move!

So, my spring plans have been crumpled up and tossed into the can. No shooting paint, no mechanical mayhem, no fun aloud. We have decided to move off the hill. Found a great old house in a great part of town. Hope the neighbors don't get pissed at the sound of hammer on metal or the compressor. The upside is no more 80 mile commute! I won't have to just keep the old cars running I can actually make them better. If you have ever relied on old vehicles to take you far on a daily basis you know how much time and energy is spent just keeping them alive. Well, I won't have internet for a few days so I won't update, your crushed I can tell by the silence. Lord how will I keep up with whats cool? Will Pendletons go out of fashion, will flake be so last week, oh crap?! I guess I'll be the new retro. Ok that last was stupid but I am a little frustrated to see my life be co-opted by the cool kids. I hope they get bored and move on soon. Gotta go pack the garage.

Cop should get a medal

Might want to watch this in mute. The dude talking is really annoying.

Old Age

This might be a bit of a rant but...

I think something men fear as they get older is being irrelevant or marginalized. As I've gained wrinkles I've come to realize that the fear has some basis but, it's the men that are marginalizing themselves. They tend to insulate themselves and shrink their world up so small; I suppose to stay the big fish. Rather than keep their minds and ears open they shut off and down. At one time they could have amazing and open conversations about a myriad of subjects. Now, unfortunately, they just get louder and close their ears and minds to any other opinion. Rather than persuade, as they once did, their voice gets louder and tone more stern as if to say you're too stupid to waste time convincing. The result is those of us that came to them for guidance or interesting conversation go elsewhere, there by marginalizing them.

My hope for myself is to stay out in the world and continue to experience new and amazing things. Constantly broaden my horizons to keep my world big and exciting. Though I'm an opinionated overbearing asshole, I do listen to what people say and sometimes even find my opinions shifting. In car terms I may not like tubbed hot rods with yellow paint but I can always appreciate the work and feeling it probably gives the owner. I won't put it down or slight the effort. Anyway sorry if you read this whole thing and let me make it up to you with hot chicks and good music.

Holy Crap...

...I'm glad I don't build his wheels. Dude has gigantic balls that must clank when he walks!

Coffee in Afghanistan

Now maybe this was funnier to me because I spent four days last week living off fucking MRE's or maybe its just funny.

Can't wait for this movie to come out!
