I have learned...

That racing can be very costly. My most recent incident includes a quick stop that resulted in my brake rotor getting a 1/4 inch groove all the way through the brake. Apparently as I was stopping for an idiot crossing the road I managed to go through the pads inth the brake rivits. It was a nice $51 bill that came unexpectdly. On the plus side no one was in my car at the time and I didn't crash. It was also less than the time that I hit my transmission pan going through an intersection and hitting something on the bottom. Well I have not much else to say because I have to get sleep for tennis and weight lifting before work tomorrow. The summer hasn't been as relaxing as I had hoped, too much work and a lack of sleep make it hard to plan for parties or even going anywhere.
Peace

another post inspired by music

So I realize that I havent been up to date in my posting lately. When you go back to working full time coming home to blog kinda isn't in the cards. I have been reading what people say but I just don't feel like writing. That is until tonight. Music has the unique ability to make people think and reflect. With all of the recent shit that has been going on in my life and the end of it all I can't help to wonder where the future lies. My friends in the struggle have either been locked up or have went into hiding. Despite my best efforts to hold to the no racing policy that everyone tells me is the best thing to do I have gone back to street racing. I know that a lot of people who are close to me wish that that wouldn't go back I just can't convince myself that there is something or someone to outweigh the thrill of knowing that I made it by just a couple of feet. There isn't much else to do. Nothing to strive for and no one to answer to. I wish there was more to say but my days consits of work, weight lifting, racing and the damn TV. Peace and Love

Gunshots, jail and the Mafia

At first these seem relate, but the past week has been incredibly weird. First the gunshots. Earlier in the week I woke up to the nice sounds of gunshots. At 3 in the morning the best thing I could have done was to have gone back to bed because guns don't bother me and it was outside. However I went upstairs and saw the dealer and a few of his friends running into his house followed by some unknown people. It kinda sucks but I don't think anyone was really hurt. Last friday night a good friend of mine who got expelled from TJ landed himself in jail. He is getting charged with second degree assult. All I have to say is wow. Everyone knows that there is a time and a place to kick someone's ass. While the timing was right, a public park is not the place. Like everything else, there is a time and place and getting those wrong can land you in jail. That is part of the reason why street racing is mostly done at night. As for the Mafia it is not exactly the best situation. Been there done that and I don't want to go back to being a driver. I have recently heard from some of my old friends from the mafia. Kinda odd but it's not something I want to do again. I also got back to lifeguarding which is nice because money isa good thing. Right now I am going to watch a movie and have something to drink.
Peace and Love
