My biggest thing is to pay cash for everything, i'm obsessed about it. If i cant pay for it i can't have it pure and simple. So i'll probally start with some land 100+ or so acres now that i think of it 400 is alot. Buy it from a bank for the note, and live in some thing small already on the property for a couple years, till i build my house. Might not have to wait if my dad's parent's croak. Don't worry they're mean SOB's Used to make me and my brother speak in german all the time, till my parent's found out.

So i guess i'm not the only one who's gave in and watched it, I didn't want to at first, she made me, but it turned out to be an OK movie, I really liked his truck, and house.

cash up front or you don't need it that bad. only thing i've ever paid for that i had top pay back was my truck (money from mom n dad, only like 1300$$), and my transmission work on the card. i'll get in my house eventually, don't matter to me how long it takes, as long as i get there eventually.

yeah, movie wasn't too bad. hehe, did it make you wanna go lay in an intersection at 2 am?

Hi Dono -

No, its not done. Its waiting on me. I have to do the interior and some sandblasting & bodywork on the hood & box. Its way to hot to sandblast right now and I'd hate to sweat all over the fabric I picked out for the interior.

Plus, I've been working too much to even think about that. Heck, I haven't even had time to unpack everything yet. The boss gave me 2 weeks off for the move then it was directly back to work.

So far i've never had to borrow any money ,but i'm still only 17.

It'd be cool to sit in the intersection, too many drunks around here for that though, I have the nerves for it, she don't. She thinks i'm crazy when i walk out in the middle of the road and i tell her" Babe, cars have brakes, if they don't you'll be one rich gal." I usually don't do that but it's fun sometimes. Only been hit once and it was, guess who of all people at 11pm,.... My frickin Dad, i was hoping for a rich person but it was dad, he came running out" Are you ok, man" Then he saw it was just me, then it was " Get you@.s in the truck, you sack of crap(other word inserted).. your mama's worried about you, i am to your nuts" best part was i was knocked out while he was saying this to me, i found out what he said from my girlfriend the next day. He had to drive her home. Dad's moving in on my girl, not if i can help it.lol that's my thing i'm supposed to take her home, not a 44 year old engineer with a 5 o'clock shaddow., I call him her sugar daddy now.


The chick in the movie was pretty hot. Not the best but not too bad either.
