The Money Pit

Alright, so let's give a little bit of an update since I haven't written in awhile. Well, I can't remember if I bothered to mention that I had to dump 550 dollars into my car last month, but I did. My car decided that the serpentine belt wasn't quite right for it. In the process of trying to expel said belt, the car also cracked a few other key parts so I had to pay ALOT of money to get that taken care of. Today I spent another 250 on fixing my heater blower motor and a few other key components. I love wasting money on my car. I am definitely feeling like I should just be getting a new car at this point. Oh well.

I still have yet to update my video game collection. And since I have to keep spending money on my car, I can't spend as much on recreation as I'd like. So the choice becomes Super Smash or No More Heroes. I'm still leaning toward Smash just because of the added fun of multiplayer games.

Yesterday (well actually two days ago now I guess) was Valentine's Day. There's a holiday that any single person just loves to hate. I am not much of a big fan even when I do have someone to share it with. Everyone is forced to go out and spend money on their significant other just because it's been driven into their head since childhood that Feb. 14th is supposed to be that way. Well, I say fuck that. Buy your girl some flowers on April 10th or October 25th. She'll appreciate them more. Don't just get them cause someone tells you to. And PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't go out to eat, make her some dinner at home. If you can't cook, make pancakes. No too many people can screw up breakfast (take it from someone who cooks in a place where thats half of what we serve). Anyone can buy a dinner, not anyone can take the time to cook one. If you wanna show someone you care, show them. Go all out. Spend some time thinking about it. Be romantic. Take her for a trip. Sit under the stars. If its too cold to sit under the stars, spend money on a REALLY warm sleeping bag instead of a dozen roses. That's all a girl really wants. Not that you should take advice from a guy who spent Valentine's being single. Eh, do whatever you want.

I just saw Jumper tonight. Really good movie. I mean sure having Rachel Bilson to look at for about 30 minutes doesn't hurt, but its been awhile since I saw a movie that qualified as a romantic action flick. Other movies you should see because I say so: Shoot 'em Up ... its hilarious and well hilarious who doesnt wanna watch Clive Owen shoot people while protecting a child and telling us all what he hates about stupid people and shooting them for ruining his day, Across the Universe... a great musical and a really interesting idea ... who would have thought you could take twenty songs sung by one group and turn them into a logical plot (I'm thinking Kiss or Queen is next), and well if you haven't seen an episode of How I Met Your Mother go rent or buy it ... watching NPH hit on girls and try to explain the players way of life just makes me giggle to no end.


I suppose that brings me to work, I've spent over 60 hours working in 6 days. I got to spend most of my nights at the hell hole I call eat n park trying to make enough money to pay for my car. I suppose mission accomplished. Too bad I sold a little more of my soul for it though. Hears hoping I can stick to the plan and get the hell outta that place by the time my lease runs out. Just need to start saving up a couple of bucks to move. maybe.

Anyone wanna move somewhere fun in August?
