Rave: I started my Trans Am last night for the first time in a few months! I've had it up on jack stands in the shop to install headers, Vortec heads and compatible intake manifold, fix some small oil leaks, change a transmission tail shaft bushing, etc, all while working on other people's cars at the same time. Hearing that V8 run, and smelling those uncatalyzed exhaust fumes from the open headers was intoxicating. Rant: I still can't drive it yet because I'm still waiting on some parts I ordered.
Rant: After 2 trips to the hospital in the past month for over drinking I have been told by no less than 3 doctors I need to go into rehab. I have no one to blame but myself, this started at 19 and im only 22. fuck
Rave: Going to Cuba! Rave: Bringing my Halloween costume. This is going to be awesome. Rave: I BEAT H1N1!
RAVE: Cable and Internet are now functioning parts of the new house. Prepare to be bombarded with stupid drunk posts, TiB. RAVE: Halloween weekend. All around town, hot girls will be dressed as slutty as possible. RANT: I'll be spending most of the weekend with family since my grandpa will be moving into the Alzheimer's unit of the nursing home. I work with some people who have this disease and it's no fun to watch them regress. And my grandpa seems to be getting worse a lot quicker than normal. 3 months ago he was mostly normal with a few crazy spells here and there. Now he hasn't slept in 3 or 4 days, save a couple 10 minute naps. And it's pretty common for him to wander into other people's homes/talk about a house he hasn't lived in since he was 6/leave the TV on for company that isn't there when he goes to bed/etc. He isn't even that old, maybe 65. Hopefully the move is the best thing for him. RAVE: At least I don't look like the guy in my avatar.
Rant: Well, my Costume stuff never showed up (fucking UPS), so I'm just recycling last years costume: Party Time Jesus. Rave: Halloween Party at my house is starting soon, and I'm stoked. Probably gonna get retarded drunk, offer people wine out of a wine bottle that I put a fake water label on, and probably say something inappropriate to some girls dressed like skanks. I love Halloween!
Rave: Tomorrow night pre-party for the bars at my apartment. What's good about hosting the pre-party? Everyone brings at least a six-pack and my fridge is then stocked for the rest of the weekend.
RAVE: Saw a car with bullet holes parked outside the shops today. Let me repeat that: actual bullet holes. There were two - one in the fender and one in the door. They were definitely bullet holes, since there was no paint around either of the holes. The car in question was an old shitty mid-1980's Ford Escort. I thought it was hilarious. Despite living in South Africa, not everyone's car has bullet holes. RAVE: Starting to *try* to eat more healthily. I need to lose a few kilos. Wish me luck!
Rave going out to a bar as balloon boy. it's basically a box with baloons attached and "where's falcon" written on it....I fully expect to get heckled tonight. Rant not drinking...hopefully I can keep strong.
Rave: First day off in a while, ice cold beer, slutty girls I graduated high school with. Rant: I'm fucking shy. Rave: Here's to trying to better myself and get out of my stupid ass shell and get some numbers.
RAVE: My boy Joseph King Kong Agbeko is set to defend his IBF bantamweight title tonight on Showtime against SoCal's Yohnny Perez. I like both fighters but King Kong has had me as a fan since winning the title in '07. I've interviewed him a few times and he is quite a character. A win here and he might get a big fight in his next one. Hope to be a six-pack deep by the time the main event starts, having a few friends over to pre-game before we hit the bars tonight for Halloween.
Rant: Still sick. Had an allergic reaction (hives) to my antibiotics last night. Needless to say, I'm not going out tonight with all the slutty drunk girls. Kill me.
Rave: Signed copy of Rick Hiller's new book. This will bring up jealousy for the next ten years at least.
RANT: My PS3 started doing the "Yellow Blinking Light of Death" thing. No idea what happened. My brother stuck CoD:Modern Warfare in, it started blinking, then crapped out. Wouldn't spit CoD4 out. RAVE: I got it as Best Buy and bought the 2 year warranty. So, had my big scary dad (6ft 6in, deep voice, chest as broad as a doorway) go with me to BB to see what they would do to fix it or get me a new one. I've heard they'll push you around if you don't know what you're doing. Well, I didn't know what I was doing, but I had the proverbial "bigger stick" with me just in case. They ended up being really cool. They said because it was an older 40GB they couldn't send it back and have it fixed. What they could do was give me it's value at the time I bought it in store credit to get a new one. Which means that because of how expensive it was when I first bought it - almost 2 years ago - compared to the new discounted prices, I could get the 120GB slim PS3, new 2 year warranty, buy CoD4 again for my brothers, and still have $15 of store credit. The guy was really nice and even hooked me up with CoD4 with the maps package... I have no idea what that means, but my brothers were ecstatic. So, it's going to be a bit of a pain downloading all of my Rock Band songs again, but what a kick-ass upgrade. I heard the 120GB slims overheat, but what do I care? I got another extended warranty bitches! Burn baby burn! RANT: Halloween is my least favorite holiday. Long story. RAVE: I'm sitting in my room. Getting hammered. Watching a True Blood marathon... and with that I'll be retiring to the Drunken Weekend thread.
Rant: Some douche side swiped my car last weekend and caused 3200$ with of damage, hit and run for the win. I hope they rot in hell. Rant: I got a speeding ticket the same night going home at 2am a little after I found my now demolished driver side. Rant: I gave up drinking and going out. Rave: In all of this, I started drinking tea to displace the absence of alcohol. And it is actually really good. I like tea a lot.
