Beautiful car, crazy speed!

An unbelievable video! The first car I ever drove was a 1931 Ford Model A. This is a '29 that has been tweaked...roughly 10 times the original power, but is a beautiful piece of work. Now the question is, how do I convince Grandpa to let me do this to his Model A?

A funny video

I don't know if you have driven your car on ice yet, but I felt like I was doing this till the roads cleared today.

Shivers down my spine

Have you ever heard a song that just gave you the chills? Sometimes a song is just capable of touching your heart. The new song "Down the Road" by Kenny Chesney and Mac McAnally is just one of those songs. It asks "is he washed in the blood or just in the water". I really like the message of this song.

I hope it does the same for you as it did for me.

Rich People Problems Part II

Have you ever had someone ask you what you would like for Christmas, and you can't come up with anything? After quite a bit of time thinking, I've come up with only 2 things: a desk lamp that will goose neck over my computer monitors, and lighting for my garage. So far I've come up with nothing else.

Yeah, I do want a nice new big TV, a new car, etc. I can't ask for any of that. Either its too expensive, or I feel like it would be asking too much of someone. This isn't really the odd part though.

Here's the kicker. I recently decided I want to build a media computer for my home theater set up (okay so it's not a big screen and stadium seating, but I digress). I found and obtained an Xbox 360 that was broken to use as the case. I picked out the parts that I wanted inside, but then I decided that's not what I want.

Normally, you hear about money not buying you happiness. People spend all their money on stuff thinking it will make them happy. I don't even get to the purchasing part before I decide there's something else I've got to have. I'm beginning to think this is due to my wine tastes and my Kool Aid budget. I have the taste for a 1787 Chateau Lafite Bordeaux (I Googled "best wine ever" to come up with the wine name :D ) but the budget for a $.22 Kool Aid. By the time I have started earning the money, I've become discouraged with the toy I want and look elsewhere.

I'm not entirely sure where this is post going, but I feel like there's something more here I need to gather from this. Obviously, money and toys don't buy happiness, and maybe I'm just stumbling ahead of the curve because I'm frustrated. I guess I just take so much for granted, maybe this is how I'm paying for that.
