About three or so days ago as the DNC railed McCain over and over on the 3rd term thing, I began to wonder who McCain’s pick will be. There’s a list of names that make since, but I wasn’t happy with any of them… That’s when I heard Palin. Hardly any coverage since Feb. had [...]

We need to be reminded of the importance of things in our world. The Olympics this year will reach out far into history beyond anyone will ever remember… even as members of this time and era. We must remember or at least acknowledge that we are Human first, great nations second. This can and always [...]

So I last reported about my joining a club like on Tuesday. Today, however, I’m meeting for the first time with a “Personal Trainer.” Really I don’t know what that means or what it’ll do for me, but I have good expectations for our meet.
These last two days I’ve been pro actively warming my body [...]

I made a deep plunge into something I honestly have some clue, but not a whole lot about. It’s in the area or perhaps “the arena” of fitness, health, and “working out” on a regular basis. Working out I suppose was something I kinda-sorta cared about all through out my youth, but I was heavily [...]

It was one of those weird times of the day today.. like just after 3pm when there’s was some dead time between my last project (hanging a new overhead fan) and dinner. I was sitting there looking at the car and saying, “dang… a whole weekend and nothing done on the ‘teg.” Well that’s when [...]

Wednesday of last week I met a guy over a new transmission for my integra project. My old trans isn’t bad or anything… but it’s a matter of gearing. The trans I bought is known as a B16 Cable Transmission.. It’s sort of a rare transmission that the Japanese made for their version of the [...]

Yesterday was (in my opinion) not the way one starts a good weekend.
I went to work all normal like, but there was a bunch of energy in the office all due to this party we had scheduled for the afternoon. Well at like 12a I headed down to check on my car (because it was [...]

All summer the drill has pretty much been the same..
Wake up and do some morning exercises and turn on CNN.. Then eat.. wash.. Go to work.. work.. come home.. and eat/crash. It’s been like that with little moments here and there.
This leaves some downtime or rest time periodically through out the day, but it’s nothing [...]

Once more I want to study Japanese with the similar fervor I began with.
This “learning Japanese” business all started right at the height of my Anime years. Of course I wanted to know the jokes before the subtitles listed it… I didn’t want it all to be so foreign. So I started learning the lingo…. [...]

Yesterday I set out to replace my stock suspension with Koni & H&R presented itself to be quite the challenge. 70% of course was my own inexperience in what to do and maybe 90% of it was bolts never ever unbolted before (since ‘91) and 100% of the challenge was probably running out of beer [...]
