I need to find a job where my paycheck is not dependant on the incredibly unstable economy this city has.
I seem to be loosing more and more buisness everyday.
I forsee this city imploding from a lack of any real established economy other than gambling, catering to underage american party goers, and the overpowering unions of the big three automakers.
I'm tired of being 'nickeled and dimed' out of a sale by these compananies that can affored to pay their employees 35+ and hour to do fuck all. Not one day goes by where i go to some of these automotive factories (ford Gm chrysler) and find guys drunk, passed out, hiding behind pallets sleeping all the while getting paid an incredulous amount of money. Fuck these guys, why do the unions want to protect the jobs of these people? I don't get it. I am not saying in any way that i am anti union, however i just can't comprehend listening to these automakers constantly talking about quarterly losses, and more cutbacks, and benefits being elimiated, and retirement funds cut, but they still manage to employ some of the laziest fucks in the country.
Maybe i am just jealous, that i have to bust my fucking ass to make money, when i could be making triple what i make now, getting wasted at work?
I have had it with the antics of this industry and largely with this city. I wake up miserable and stressed. If it were not for my lovely girlfriend, my friends and family i would probably suffer from depression.
Well enough ranting, and time to do something about it. First off, get a new job where i don't need to depend on the automotive industry for a paycheck, even better would be to find a job outside of this city.

Im at work and i am very bored, and i am also very tired due to the fact that i didnt sleep that well.
so i am browsing the internet, looking for the autorama dates, and i found out that there is going to be an Ed Roth tribute there.
- Builder/Owner of the Year “Ed Roth Tribute” featuring 15 of his creations
Including: Beatnik Bandit I & II, Stealth, Mysterion & Tweety Pie
this is right off the website. I am so stoked for this, and also for the toy convention that is going to be there. Hopefully i can add to my Ed roth collection. Last year jesse and i went and it was amazing.

Maryam is sick, and it makes me sad. i hope she feels better soon.
Yesterday i bought a tony hawk video game for my playstation and spent almost the entire day playing it. It was so nice to have a few days off. Lastnight was spent bowling and playing poker after. A couple of myu friends got pretty wasted and some got high which made for a funny night. I however stayed sober as today it is back to the reality of having to work.
However i have tommorow off so i can go and get tattooed courtesy of the best girl in the world. hope she feels good enough to go :/
I got some really nice shit for christmas. starting with a full set of sushi dishes. they are authentic, and are black. so amazing, next time i eat sushi i will be eating in style. Maryam also got me some colongne, (3 kinds in case i run out, hahaha) all of them smell incredible. Plus she has bought me so much other shit. The fam got me some cloths and the typical underwear and socks. my dad bought me some tools......
oh yeah my car did not start today.....again. the reason being that moisture is getting on my spark plug wires somewhere around the distributor. My boss told me that if you spray WD-40 on there that it will soak up the moisture allowing the spark to go through. So this morning i was so frustrated that i did not care if my car blew up, so i figured now would be a good time to try. Turns out that this actually works.
well got to get back to work.

when and if i get married i will not have a best man, intead i will have the 'bestmen' and there will be 4 of them, maybe 5. i am so lucky to have such a tight friendship with some rad dudes.
so it is christmas eve. today should be fun, i am making sushi, and my mom made vegan cabbage rolls for diner. Maryam is coming over to spend chirstmas here. I am stoked for it is the first time i have actually shared chirstmas with someone. i know i should not care about chirstmas because it is about jebus, but i might be the only religious holiday i celebrate. besides there is hardly and jesus about christmas anymore anyways. i am just happy to be spening quality time with my family. i also cannot complain about the food either. my family has always been big on christmas, so i think that is why i like it so much. sometimes i get pissed about it, but in the end i know we are not celebrating it for jesus anyways.
it is warm out and i dont like it. plus it is supposed to rain later. fuck, i want snow and i want lots of it. i think i am going to wash my car. oh, speaking of cars. i think i have finally got my car to work again. yesterday after making 2 trips to canadian tire for 2 different sets of spark plug wires i have manged to fix it. i think i am going to wait a little longer before i get a new car. maybe i will stick to my original plans of getting one in march. the fact is that honda interest rates are astronomical and will cost me a small forture. maybe when sales start to drop, they will lower interest rates.
anyways i'm out. i have a few things to do before i make my sushi, and people start to get here.
i hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend.

my brothers gift just arrived at the door not two minutes after he left, perfect timing. i got him the "10 years of vice magazines do's and don'ts" i hope he likes it.
i am all done christmas shopping now, even for myself. well not quite for myself. lastnight i bought a new coat and some shoes, and last week i got tattooed. i am pretty happy about all the gifts i bought everyone. i think i did good. i can't wait to give maryam hers.

some stupid mother fucker broke into my car lastnight. smashed my window, and ripped apart my dash, and tried to take my radio. they did not get the radio, however it might be broken, because so far i have not been able to get it to work.
let me get this straight, if any of you fucks that read my journal ever partake in any form of theft, especially car theft, and i ever here about it, or catch you, i will not hesitate to unleash all the anger i have built up over the years into rearranging your face into some big swollen pulp.
there is no reason why i should have to go through this, TWICE! last time it cost me almost 500 bucks and now this time it is going to cost more than that, even though i still have the radio. all this comes at the perfect time when i need all the money i can get to finsih paying for my trip and to finish some christmas shopping. basically now all the money that i had to bust my fucking ass to make, and all the money i have been trying to save so i can reward myself for busting my ass, is going towards fixing my car, becuse someone else who probably does not have a fucking job or a fucking life tried to take for themselves.
i swear to god if i ever catch someone breaking into a car, whether it is mine or not, i dont care, i will make sure they wish they had never done it. lets face it, the justice system does not have time for juvenile fucks that break into cars. i think i am going to park my car in the parking lot at the mall. and sit and hide, to see if someone trys to break into it again, then i will kill them, and drive off.
FUCK THIS WORLD

although it is pouring outside right now, there is going to be snow on the way, just give it a couple days to get here. i am so ready to snowboard again. i am also so ready to get out of here for a week and get away to jamaica. it is going to be so awesome to be able to go snowboarding one day, and then a few days later be golfing on one of the most beautiful golf courses in 90 degree weather. i need to make a tattoo appointment soon. it sucks that since i have been making so much extra money, i have been paying off bills, and puting away money for my trip. however, come the end of the month when everything is paid off, including the trip i should be able to start channeling some money back into the tattoo fund.
anyways, my head is pounding so i am going to try and sleep it away.

I just finished making an incredible plate of sushi. i made five rolls, all of them with asparagus, cucumber and carot. I must say i am getting quite good at making sushi. Now i just wait for maryam to get here, and we are outta here. Tonight will be a good night, i can feel it.
10:47 am
so right now i should be in class, but that's ok. this class is the most rediculous class i have ever taken. i know it is my own arrogance, but some people just suck at math, therefore should not take math class. i am pretty sure that most of the people in class have not taken a math class since grade 9 because they have no clue about anything. I feel bad for the teacher, immediatly he tells us that the math class is going to be a basic class of review from HIGHSCHOOL, and still people are having trouble. haha, i sure hope some of these people dont continue to try and be accountants. fuck what a waste of time. for those of you that dont know i have years and years of advanced level mathematics credits and i actually enjoy math. anyways, we wrote our first test yesterday, and if the test was not going to be easy enough (it was based on order of operations, and introductory algebra) the teacher made it open book!!! when he said that i laughed, and the stupid chick in front of me turned around and looked at me. oops. yeah and he also told us that if it was all possible to try and not ask him for more than 2 answers. WHAT THE FUCK? why did i take this class again? oh right because i had too. needless to say i wrote the test, that we were given 2.5 hours to write, in about 30 mins without opening my book. i was the third one finished out of about 20 people. i am sure i got perfect, unless he finds a dollar sign that i forgot to write somewhere.
so that is why i feel i can afford to skip class, actually i might just show up to write the tests from now on and thats it. haha, we will see. well, today i am off to find a few xmas ideas, and maybe pick a few things up. i need to get some ingredients to make a tofu scramble tommorow for maryam. then i am going to make sushi for tonights potluck/get together at scotts. other than that i think i will start watching football a day early.
alright im out.

tonight i went for coffee with Maryam and we got on the topic of religion, and i don't know if it was the coffee or the conversation, but my brain has been stimulated. I realized while driving home that i really don't have anyone really to talk to about these things anymore. Friends don't hangout like they used too, and when we do, discussions on these topics hardly ever take place.
One thing that we talked about was (hypothetically of course) should we ever have kids would they be raised catholic? Meaning would we be starting their education in catholic grade school and high school. Obviously coming from me i would immediately disagree and say no. however i am interested what everyone else thinks. Im sure that most of you would not care? Some of you have been brought up in a catholic family and have never questioned that so why would you change anything for your kids? Or maybe there just happened to be a new catholic grade school that was built in your subdivision so you feel that in order for your child to receive the best (and newest and greatest technologically advanced) education you would send them there. Who cares it is just a simple religion class they would have to take? In my opinion i think that is a fault of the human race, the fact that we just can't be bothered to think. i mean who cares if we know about how the world was created? Fuck we have better things to worry about like what oil rich country we are going to take over to satisfy the appetite of that new 10 cylinder monster truck that wont fit in the garage. I even notice it when i talk to my sister. She is quite content with believing that god created the world in 7 days, and that humans started from adam and eve. She often contradicts herself by talking about cave men and dinosaurs and the thought of evolution, but when i point it out to her she just brushes it off and immediately forgets about it. Sometimes she is more concerned with what the next sitcom is on tv, and i guess i dont blame her.
The way i see it, religion or catholicism to be direct, is just another scapegoat for the average person to use because they can't be bothered to think outside the box. When one gets lost and needs someone to turn too, the pedestal will always be there to kneel on, and the priests will always be able to tell you that god is always with you.....especially when you dont think he is. Then you can walk out of a church knowing that everything is going to be ok, because you prayed to god and ask that he watch over you.
Well i am getting off track, would i send my child to a catholic grade school? Never! the mind is far to susceptible at a young age, especially when you are forced into excepting something as being right for an hour a day for an estimated 1400 days. Is that to say that i would introduce my child to the idea that god does not exist as being right? Not at all, i would rather my child use that hour a day to learn more fundamentals of math or science or english seeing as half the country cant even speak the language properly.
anyways, my brain is getting tired. i just needed to get that out of my system so that i could go to sleep.
P.s. dont send me any born again shit, because i will just as quickly make it dead again.

JESUS FUCK
i am determind now that i am making better money, to get a hold of my financial bad habits. fuck, i am just going over old band statements and there are alot of stupid purchases and charges on there. It is frustrating when you have no money, and you try and save but in the end you still have shit to show for it, only to find out when you look at your spending on paper that you are an idiot.
this has to stop, and it will, especially if i want to finance a new car, and go on vacation. also chirstmas is coming up.......
its funny how much i have learned in 2 months since going back to school. For once i think i might actually be satisfied with school. starting tommorow i am taking the third class of my accounting studies certificate, and funny that it is a personal finance course.
08:42 am
i am at work right now, but what i have to post is pretty funny so i figured it was worth the risk.
last night maryam and i went to mongolian for dinner. i ate 3 bowls of stir-fry all of which i lavishly added garlic to.
This morning my dad came into my room and told me how bad it stinks like garlic. all the way to work he could not believe the stench of garlic that i was giving off. Now when i get to work everyone here is amazed how bad i stink like garlic. hahaha. i ate so much garlic that it is coming out of my pores. oh well just another excuse why i should not work to hard, because if i work hard and sweat everyone will suffer the consequences of my 'garlicyness'!! Wherever i go i am leaving my mark of garlic.........I'M SUCH A DAMN POLLOCK!!

05:07 pm
My car is going to take alot more work than i was expecting. i am left with burning out the old bushings with a torch and taking apart my suspension, and having the new bushings pressed in.
i have started school. yes believe it or not i am actually back in school. i am taking accounting, and right now i am in the first class which is accounting principles 1. it is incredibly easy so far.
lastnight maryam took me out for sushi, i thought i was going to have to bite my tongue while i swallowed the sushi with a smile on my face, and tell her how good it was while i threw up in my mouth. as it turns out it was one of the best damn meals i have ever eaten, and i can't wait to eat sushi again.
anyways im out.

i really don't know what to write in here anymore. it is not that i don't have anything eventful going on in my life that i can't write about, in fact it is quite the opposite. somethings are going great, and some are no so great. i have someone new in my life that makes me very happy. someone that i never thought i would have these feelings for, yet now it has progressed into something great. why is though that some people cannot just be happy for me? can't people understand that i am a big boy and that i am quite capable of making decisions on my own? why is some people have to be so difficlut? i can't help but feel that although i have found someone that makes me happy, i have lost someone else for no apparent reason.
i have a job interview coming up next saturday. i am not sure what to expect.
at the end of the month my car is coming off the road so i can do some much needed work to it. some of the things i am going to do are; new suspension (struts and springs) new rad, new fenders and maybe a hood. fix some fust and then hopefully get the car repainted. i also found a place in south carolina that imports engines from japan and i found a motor that i want to get. it is about 700 U.S. but it is double the horsepower. if i don't make a road trip down to get it, i might rebuild the engine i already have. maybe put a new cam in, and port and polish the heads to match the gasket. maybe even resurface the block? oh yeah, i have had brake shoes sitting under my bed for over a year now, so i guess i cant put those on as well. luckily my bro is going out of town to go back to school so i can use his car for a few months while i work on mine.
speaking of school, i am thinking about registering for a part=-time accounting class to see if it is something i might enjoy. i have been thinking long and hard about going back to school for a few years now, and my parents have always had the pressure on me was well. i have condidered many options and thought about alot of programs, but this is the only time i have been serious about one. i get paid on tuesday so i think i am going to go to the college and check shit out. i can get a certificate in less than a year, or if i think this is something i will enjoy i might enroll with the university in the winter.
anyways, like i said in the beginning of this post i have found someone that makes me happy, someone i can get along with, someone that laughs at my stupid jokes, someone that is there for me all the time, and i am thankful. sure there are ups and downs but that is expected, it is never anything serious which in the end it should only make things stronger. its definatly not perfect, then again nothing in life is truely perfect, but for the time being this is pretty damn close. i know those that are close to me will be happy for me, and that is all that really matters.
time to go, have a few errands to make.
