I just spend money left and right! Well, I went to the body shop and just came back and I left the eyelids there and they said it would be ready by tomorrow around 5pm. Then I'd had to wait another day or so for the paint to fully cure, and then I can install it. Hopefully it will install correctly and not look all ghetto. The lids came with some 3M double-sided tape, but I'm going to go buy more because I don't want them flying off when I'm on the highway, you know? I'll make sure to get that thing on there good. Well, off to calculate my budget for the next two weeks since I get paid tomorrow and this paint job is going to cost around $100...damn, but I have to start thinking of presents for Laura and man, I'm going to be broke for the next month.

Stupid me...I can't believe I did this. I checked my own blog to make sure my posts were showing up correctly and when I did, I couldn't find the long one that I just wrote...so I was like, ok, must be blogger.com, so I refreshed and refreshed and finally restarted the computer to completely flush out my internet cache and still no luck...only to find out that I changed the post settings so that the latest ones go on the BOTTOM and not the top, like I was used to it doing...so I just promptly changed it. Better now...dumb me...god damn.

Howdy all. It's another edition of James' late night rants and babbles. I just received my "eye lids" for my car from Chris. They seem to be just fine. Gotta take them to the body shop and have them paint it now. Hopefully they won't charge me an arm and a leg for them! I am thinking the painting is going to cost around $50...maybe more, maybe less. Hopefully less if I tell them I'll be here for the body kit (which will probably not happen) and the fact that I've gone there already and I'm a repeat customer. Hopefully!!!!! So, well, another day passes. Already a week into the new year. Suzanne messaged me today. The first time in maybe a year or something. She got a new e-mail address and stuff. Nothing new I guess. Laura is coming tomorrow and she wants me to be asleep for when she gets here. I have to kill some time since I usually wake up around 7-8 automatically. But yeah, I've been feeling better lately about everything and my outlook for this year. It seems like I'm finally on the right track you know? I remember last year around this time, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I wasn't doing well in school at all...it was the semester that I needed to do really good, and I eventually gave up around March or something. Pathetic yeah. I wasn't motivated at all and during the last few months, I've figured stuff out, you know and realized that I can't keep doing what I was doing (this was around the beginning of last summer). I knew I could do what I did last semester...just wasn't motivated and now I have what I need. Sometimes you need something to hit you hard, you know? Hitting the bottom academic-wise was the cure for me. I was just playing Rod in chess and I kicked his ass. I think he got mad because he was talking to me through the game and for some reason I couldn't answer back, so he probably thought I was ignoring him. Anywhoo, I'm about pooped out for tonight. Hopefully I'll wake up later than when Laura gets here...but I also want to check the body shop for the price of painting the eye lids. I don't want to do that because that'll have to be in the morning...but then again I guess I can head over there in the afternoon after Laura leaves. I'll do that. Maybe they'll be done by this weekend or something. That would be cool. I am eager to see it in action. We put it on for a test run tonight, but when I turn the headlights on, since it's not painted, the light shines through. I hope the painting of the lids block out the light trying to escape. Also, tomorrow will be a fun in more than one way!!! :) Oh man, funny, funny...
