James' Ramblings

Late tonight, Laura and Ashley are to arrive here. I'm excited for that, even though I probably will be sleeping by then and I'm actually going to be bummed out that I was awakened by their loud noise making. Today at work was VERY uneventful, as 100% of my office was at a picnic. I opted to pass, since I wasn't that kind of person, but I did get to eat a couple deviled eggs that was served by my superior. My bike searching woes continue, though, I may have found a bike. A 1998 Kawasaki ZX-11. Yes, a ZX-11. Do you know what that means. Instead of the entry-level 600cc that I SHOULD be purchasing, as I have never rode a bike, let alone sat on one before, it's going to be a blistering 1049cc...the owner claims to produce 142HP, which is almost 50 more than my current car. I don't know if I'm ready to tackle a bike that enormously powerful, but we'll see. It's nicely priced at $4500, which should make my monthly payments near $115 a month. Also, I checked the insurance and it didn't go up at all. Strange on this kind of bike, yes. Oh well. My gain. I e-mailed him about some specifics as the mileage, since it stated he rebuilt the engine at 13000 miles. I don't know why you'd do that, but yeah, I better go have it checked by a motorcycle mechanic for "hidden" damages, if there are any. If not, this may be the bike to get. I will have fun with this one! At that kind of power, I'd put the top speed somewhere around 170mph, which I would never go...at my experience level, that is. It is black though, so. I'll keep you updated. People are very strange. They do things sometimes that they never said they would and they say things to make other think differently. I do the same, but some go to extremes. Some don't even listen to others. I don't know. I love being negative about things. It makes everything that's positive in my life that much better, is my view. If you're always optimistic, when will you be surprised about something if you already knew it was going to happen? Something to think about. Chris has bought the Eclipse. He's getting it Friday and I will give or not give my approval on Saturday and we're going to an import show in Denver on Sunday. Hopefully it was worth my $16. I got Rounders from Laura a couple days ago and I'm going to watch it as I get time tonight. It's a great movie, for those who have never watched it. The lawn mower guys mowed the lawn today, like completely. I'm just waiting to get charged for this, though I haven't gotten charged since we moved in. Anyway, it's kinda hot up in my room. I was actually cold last night and this morning. I didn't want to get up at all. Well, catch you later.
