You ain’t gonna see this ‘ish’ at Nemian Markis, fo sho!
Take a look at the picture above… See the circle things? They are supposed to have a belt (black rubber bandy thing) on them…
Saturday my good friend Danni and I went ‘Estate Salin’. I was supposed to drive, but since it was raining, she did. And thank god she did. When I was one stoplight away from my house, my car made this horrible screeching noise, then the power steering went out AND the battery light went on.
BY THE GRACE OF ‘GOD’ somehow I was able to coast it right into a legal spot, and turn it off…. I walked back to where the noise happened, and laying in the street are THESE two f***ing things:
I broke on of the ‘Belts’ on my car…..And the other one popped off….
AND MY AWESOME MECHANIC FRIEND IS ON VACATION FOR 4 YEARS… (YES……YEARS)
So now what do I do? Call my dad….find out what the HELL those things are, take the bus into the ghetto to get two new belts, and then post on Craigslist and ask if ANYONE can fix it for me.
First guy that came was named Jerry. Cool guy that reminded me of Christopher (my mechanic). But he didn’t have the right tool. So I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get him a wrench. Called a friend, and had my girlfriend knock on EVERY DOOR AT THE CHLOE APARTMENT to find someone who had the right tool.
When we got it finally, it was too dark. So ‘Jerry’ put one belt on, and then had to go. I paid him $30 cos he said he would come back the next day and put the other one on for me.
The next day, he never came… I am a fool….
So I get back on Craigslist….And get two guys who say they’ll come by 11…Both never do….one emails me that he’ll be here at noon…that never happens..
So I answer ONE MORE email (I got tons) from this guy sayin he’s ‘55 and not a flake’… ‘been doing this for many years!’ So I have him come out..
He was the COOLEST DUDE…. He told me all these great stories of his life, while he fixed my car…..And he REALLY fixed it.. He told me everything he was doing, and had me test it.. Also he checked all my ‘fluids’ and we put air in my tires..
On my birthday I won $90 at a casino.. I was 1 number away from winning $1599…….
It ended up costing me $100 to get my car fixed….
My whole life I can never get ahead…just knocked back any time I am ahead…
I guess I should feel lucky that I didn’t win the $1599 jackpot..
Cos then $1599 worth of damage would have happened to my car..
At least that is the way I see it…
(look at my dirty ass ANGRY hands!)
Yeah I always say that. I do mean it. I have been really busy, if you can believe it.
I had a birthday. I still have no job…. Really trying though….Really….
This is from the Hot Dog stand in front of my apartment..
Best hot dog in what????
*at Outback Steakhouse with my girlfriend. We hadn’t been before*
ME: Oh my god!! Can I PLEASE order in an Australian Accent????
MY GF: Oh my god!! Can you PLEASE NOT order in an Australian Accent???
Two new podcasts…..Red and I talk about a parade, but are interrupted….
and Jordin got a weird call for her birthday!
listen right here
It’s June 14th!!!! I was born 28 years ago, today… I can’t believe I’m 28…… Last year someone told me that 27 would be the best year of my life…… They were really wrong!
You know your old, when all you want for your birthday is:
1) A JOB 2) Not to have to clean at all…….all day (this includes NOT having to unload the dishwasher) 3) That stupid restaurant downstairs NOT to be playing their music loud ALL DAY…. 4) To go to the doctor.. 5) To go to the dentist!!!!!
Oh …and I want an iPad….but….that’s not gonna happen… Yay! o\O/o
New podcasts up with Red
1) Did your parents ever say something weird to you, when you were growing up?
2) Red uses Jordin’s phone to send a dirty text
3) Jordin’s thoughts on AVATAR…
Isn’t it odd, to not like something for so long, and then one day you wake up, and you really really like it? I wonder what the psychology is behind that? Because I ONLY ever REALLY like things that I first started out hating. No Doubt (yeah, little known fact, I didn’t like them when Spiderwebs came out) The BEATLES (seriously! And then I became obsessed) tv shows, people, cats…you name it…if I like it now, I probably had a little hate in my heart for it at first!
We all know that I like Convertibles. For years I wanted a Jeep Wrangler. Until I visited my friend who had upgraded her Subaru to a BMW!!! Then I got jealous and wanted a Beamer…Did the math and you can get a pretty good early 2000’s BMW Z3 ROADSTER, for about the same price as a Jeep…. Then I started saving up… Got close and then was LET GO from The End….. had to use that money to survive…..
I drive with my convertible top down as MUCH as possible. In the winter, when it’s only kind of raining.. I love the ‘free’ feeling that you get when you don’t have a roof…
I never liked Motorcycles. My mom’s side of the family have a few (including my dad who has a really nice Black/Yellow/Silver Harley that he is very proud of)…. I never got it…….. They always looked so big and bulky to me…
And then living on Capitol Hill…everyone has a scooter….But I think scooters look weird..
But everything didn’t seem to fit me and my personality…..until I saw THIS thing:
The first EVER Harley Davidson….
1903
I am officially in LOVE…
I would look so good on that thing..
Only problem is I think they’re ONLY in museums!!
*swoon* *swoon* *swoon*
*SWOON CITY*
Can you spot ALL the ‘Seattle Stereotypes’ in this photo?
1) Starbucks
2) Grey Sky
3) It’s raining
4) The Space Needle
5) The fact that it’s taken at Gasworks Park
6) American Apparel
7) My Sunglasses
The fact that I’m NOT smiling (because the weather is depressing)
maybe there are more?!?!
I have been made fun of for the 6 years I’ve lived here, but yes I do have a convertible, in Seattle.
I do know about all the problems that come along with having this car, but for the 2 weeks a year that it is actually nice here….It is the coolest car to have!!!
For the past 3 years I have had my car garaged, so the rain didn’t bother it. But my current place charges $1550 a month for a 1 bedroom and THEN wants $150 EXTRA per month for parking……..no way…that’s crazy….
So my car is outside….Bordering the ghetto, and subject to the rain…and boy did it rain on Tuesday, didn’t it?
I got into my car after the storm and found a POOL of water on my passenger side….Remembering the times when I didn’t garage my car, the only solution to this problem is driving down to the local gas station and vaccum out all the water..then wait for….THE STINK!!! The moldy-water stink that I haven’t had in my car for 3 years… (My friends dubbed my car, ‘Stink-Mobile’)
The solution? Always…Baking Soda…. But since my girlfriend has a new-found love for baking, I couldn’t just steal the box, I had to take some to my car in a container………… Do you think this looks bad?????? Like it’s something else? Sitting in a car….bordering the ghetto??
