308- Race Bait 308

Well, it's been a few days since I updated. Wait, is it Thursday already? It's been...quite a few days actually. There are reasons of course, saturday I went to a computer show with Frank, Chrissy and Chris- picked up a case for an external harddrive which I was finally able to get my computer to accept the 60gig drive I picked up over the summer. YAY! Now, since I am having so many issues with my machine as it is, i can load all that I want to transfer onto the harddrive and slide it onto my new system, whenever that purchase is made. Believe me, I am looking for a good one.
Saturday, I think, was also the day I almost died...There was an incident involving a SUV and me...it was barreling down on me at 70+ and I was hastily darting back the other way, all the while giving an evil look to the bastard who had offered me the chance to go, and given me the all clear in the process. Bastard, I tell you- I did not want to become road pudding. I almost quit my job because of that saturday night, just because I knew I could get something closer to home, and safer.
But I didn't, and now, I am looking at the prospect of going to work in the winter. I really should try and get a car or something, but the whole thing of it is, is no one in my family, with the exception of my brother, feel that I will be able to do this riding the bike thing this winter. And when people doubt me is when I get shitty- I tend to do things just because someone says it's not possible.
Anyways, Sunday i don't really remember- it was a sunday- busy as shit, but otherwise. Monday- well, we were slow! Slow, slow, slow...and tuesday, though I was off, I didn't venture out. It was kinda blah I thought. So, I ordered a pizza and stayed in all day, watching movies. Got to see Higher Learning, Idle Hands and a few others. Starting to work my way through my movies, comprehensively- which basically meansd I am watching all those documentaries and shit. Of course, next tuesday being the release of the Two Towers special edition, that will only last so long.
Wednesday I had to work in the morning, and rode home around 5. I didn't call anyone, just fell asleep and this morning realized that with my sister being horribly sick with that throat thing that is going around my days are likely numbered. I think I will stop by the store and pick up a personal salt thing today- for gargling with warm salt water. Can't afford to get as sick as I was during the summer.
And that was it, pretty much- I work, I watch movies and I sleep. And in the process I dream about computer system upgrades. That's part of today- I want to hit Best Buy and do some research- At the least I want a cd burner, 40 gig harddrive/2.5ghz comp, but if I can get the 80g, with the dvd rom drive cheap then I will.
Plus Total Recall is on sale for $9.99...and I wanna look at Miusic Match's program- since mine went blooey recently. I like WinAmp, but it always crashes for some reason.
Poor guy next to me has one of those thick fluid filled coughs- I feel bad for him. I bet he just wants to cough something up and be done with it.
And this brings me to the Sandy portion of my post- I feel so bad reading her diary, and seeing everything that she's going through. All I can offer is this- I loves you Sanders. I know it may not seem like much, and so forth, but I do- if you ever need to talk, you can write me at darkwyng98@yahoo.com- I swear I'll answer. I worry about you, I worry about all my friends, really. Oh, and by the way, I love Shannon- she rocks, plus she's amusing to play a key with. It's not roleplay, it's life, pretend-like. :)
Hugs,
Love,
Jon
PS- For those that wonder about titles- the Race Bait 308 refers to a toy car I had when I was growing up. Which was as near as I can tell, a ferrari mock up, since they couldn't actually make the car ferrari due to liscencing. I loved that car, and well, I thought this would be a kinda cool way to pay tribute to my childhood...I'm odd, I know. *MWAH!*
