Tonight I got to do something that R.T Spates offered me 20 years ago. On this night I shot a gun in the air for new years. I took it a step farther I also lit off some fireworks that I had brought about 4 or 5 years ago in Missouri tonight as well. Which felt great! I have been on a path of greatness lately, trying to become something better then ( Read more... )

Thats what my grandfather RT Spates used to say when you looked sad or you said something stupid. "Wuss Ailin' you" He and my grandmother Annie Spates pretty much raised me. I lived with them for a while when I was younger and they mean a lot to me. RT brought me my first suit, he tought me how to drive and when I steped out of line he put me back ( Read more... )

I need to be better at getting to work on time. But what is on time when I don't get in trouble for getting here when ever I please? I mean so long as I get 40 hours in they don't say anything. Honestly I would rather have them come down on me and hold me accountable for being here at 8am but whatever. I am doing something right cus I have not been ( Read more... )

When I opened my journal, there was a heading that read Welcome Back, Pimpolicious. That was awesome. It has been 128 weeks since my last post and it is amazing that I still have an account. I could not remember my password or my user name it was bad. But I am back now and I plan to keep up with my postings.

I never thought I would here that excuse for not being hired. Over qualified. . . so if I were a little dumber or less motivated I would have moved from the bookstore at $7.00 /hr to a ( Read more... )

I am trying to stay motivated to finish strong this semester. And I am finding staying motivated to be challenging. I really don't know what to do but to keep me head down and stay with it. I just want to do nothing for a while. Oh well in a couple of weeks I will be able to do just that.

The semester is almost done and I still have so much work to do. Two weeks ago I was elected to secretary/treasurer of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student chapter at the polytechnic campus. Which is cool because I have never held an office in a student club, outside of ROTC. We are taking two cars to the SAE mini baja competition in ( Read more... )

Finally got my sister settled in her program. This might turn out to be the best thing for her. I hope so anyway. School is still kicking my ass. Sometimes I feel like I have "Dain Bramage!" There things I just don't pick up as fast as the folk around me and that pisses me off. I try not to compare myself to them but I find myself doing it. I would ( Read more... )

They say when it rains it pours. Yeah it feels like buckets sometimes. Dealing with this shit about my sister, who messed over a chance to get in that program right away. Now she is bunking on my make-shift couch.Not for long though!!! I am talking about the next couple of days!! Whole nother story... School is just wearing on me but that is the ( Read more... )

I should have started this project the first day that it was assigned. But I didn't and now I am scrambling to get it done before Monday. It is a TV lift and a lot of engineering has to go into the design a lot. Yeah it sucks to be a procrastinator, so I am going to change that. . . starting tomorrow!
