right back atcha haha

...and I don't think she's running clean right now.
just ask all the pedestrians that I fly by...
I think they all get covered in a thin film of oil, shot extremely fast, and at high temperatures, out my exhaust pipe


Which by the way, is at the perfect height for a Prius.

ah well thats what they get for driving a damn prius

but yeah this thing is weird, it acts like its got a loped up cam, it will chop all day long, and you touch the gas and it will almost die, then you give it a smidge more gas and its like you hit a "holy **** lets act like we're on a drag strip" button...not good when your pulling out and there are cops around...

oh if smileys worked for me on safari, there would be bunches of them right now.
I regularly let Hondas and Toyotas (and the occasional Prius) know how much i dislike them by smoking my tires ...directly into their cars. I do it all the time, it's quite fun. until their little rice rockets pull away from me because the F250 has more weight than them...

once again, not my fault they have cars which have less than half my engine

No, my hand built desktop hates everything else at the moment.
I wouldn't dare use a macbook unless I am really forced to.
as for the iphone, I do finally have a replacement. I got a nice junker off craigslist to replace the one I ruined a few weeks ago in a horrifying puddle accident haha.
I am going to rebuild the computer within the next few weeks or so, but for now I kinda need to keep it together because I managed to fill my 3 200gig hard drives...
and there is currently 500 gigs on this terabyte hard drive of mine... so yeah, rebuild coming as soon as I can get more hard drives, and sort through the crap I don't need on here.

as for Omaha NE, I can get away with anything I want to, as long as the neighborhood watch people are not watching the neighborhood, the Sheriff isn't driving through my neighborhood, Old people are not near, anyone with a cellphone is near, and as long as I am out of sight of surveillance cameras, then I can do what ever I want to (which isnt a lot haha)

Yes to the city. I used to live on the outskirts of Omaha, but due to recent growth I'm starting to become more central than anything else.
which kinda sucks, because as I said, now people are becoming more **** about letting kids be kids and have some good ol' fashion fun.

I'm in the center of the picture.
I dont know how well it came out, but.
everything south of Q, and west of 156th street was Corn 5 years ago.
and next to me, there was another corn/soy field.

Omaha has expanded quite a bit in no time what so ever

hmmm. just a question...howd you take that picture?
and yeah, the area has grown a little, but honestly its just the type of people whove moved around here, theyre all stuck up city folk from wherever, or pissed off people because of whatever reason...
but i really dont care, cause when i stay in edgefield, i dont get messed with, cops see the truck, know whos it is, and either A) Wave and honk/turn around pull me over to say hi. B) just keep driving, regardless how fast im going.

depending on the computer, it's either control print screen (prt scr) or function and the same button (prt scr)
then just paste it into Paint or photoshop.


and with me it's the opposite now.
because the houses to the west are newer and more expensive, all the low income people are moving into my area.

thanks to them violence has increased 10fold in my neighborhood.
last week someone decided my dad needed to get new tires, so they slashed all 4 on his 09 Mercedes.

...at 450 dollars a tire, they are not cheap to get replaced.
not to mention the tow
and then the fee at the dealer to get the new ones mounted.


I hate jealous people

none taken
When I first moved here, I had come from a Farm in Council Bluffs, and before that a Small town outside Munich Germany.

This is substantially bigger than Unterfoehring, and Council Bluffs.
I loved not having any kind of violence in Germany, and in CB the neighbors are so far apart, no one wants to start anything because they would have to spend 10 dollars in gas to drive to someone's house just to argue
