Bad Week Cont.

i thought that this would go with what vampiro had to say but i thought that i would start my own post.

I have learned so much about my ford and other trucks this year that it seems that i've forgotten about what i should really be learning. I just got my Interem for school and seems that i am failing two classes, geometry and spanish 2 (but i am passing Auto Tech 2 ). If i fail one more the state of North Carolina will 1: take my permit away and 2: make it so that i wont get my license on time which i already am gettin it 3 months late. and ontop of that my parents are threatening to take away my big orange beauty of a truck. I wouldn't know what to do if they take Big Orange away. Well, guess i better go and hit the books . maaaaan school is a drag.

Wisdom comes in many different ways my boy.

Here's what I mean:

25 Phrases Of Wisdom


1. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out

2. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is
serious.

8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government
program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

15. No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

25. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused

Now, Get back to studying!

yeah school maybe a drag but the main thing you got to remember is if you dont take it serious and get good grades consider flipping burgers and living with mom and dad all your life a lifestyle? i think putting a little less interest in your truck during the week and more into school( notice i said during the week) will have long lasting effects

Aaahhh...I remember high school spanish.(graduated 2000) I remember that I kept a current issue of 4 Wheel & Off-Road Magazine in my folder! Seriously though, this might help if you didn't already know it-altavista.com has a translator. I used it a couple of times my 2nd year of spanish. Uumm, lets see, I know this sounds corny but talk to the teacher, let them know that you are trying to raise your grades. (am i sounding like your mom yet?)

You know...study hard. As weird as this sounds coming from me, your trucks and friends and all will be around later. Get good grades now. Geez, now I sound like my mom .

Anyway, good luck. Like mil1ion said--stop reading all our long posts and study!
