Well, I have notbeen on here much as of late, ive been busy with the house, wife, baby and cars... I'M sure some of youcan relate, it is a whole different thing as you get older lol.

The wife and Ihave been dealing with the house, getting the backyard sodded, bitching at the other builders in the new subdivision that have their construction workers leaving trash every-fucking-where, and dealing with a badly mantained yard. We just had our 3 yr anniversary yesterday, dropped Lauren off at the babysitter and had a nice dinner at Saltgrass (24oz Silverstar porterhouse kicks ass)

My doggie (Rawx) will soon be taken to a ranch, shes a lab and needs a big place to run around and tear shit up... We are just not home enough to pay her attantion. It sucks, I'm sad, its needed. I feel terrible for the dog having to sit in a kennel all day.

Lauren has been growing like weeds, shes standing up, making cute gestures and clapping lol, not walking but doing some crawling here and there (mainly backwards). shes about 27lbs and comes up a bit higher than my knee lol... she loves eating paper and carpet (i call her a carpet muncher lol )

My cars, oh my cars.. the Z has been in storage, i cant get anyone to help me tow her to my new house, so no work has been done to her. Parts are here and I'm ready to start stripping her yet no accessto her. the hatch is running well and just a bit dirty. I plan on raising her back to stock height my tires have already work to shit and im not even 5 months into them. nomods as of yet, just the same fat ass hatch with the 5zigen, spoon exhaust and aem intake... I might be buying a more sizable replacement, possibly a 4door 97-99 sedan. the mileage on the hatch sucks ass!! and my commute is not short by any means. the ridgeline is still putting a dent on my wallet with its gas consumption

Work, has been great ijust got a long overdue promoption, the pay increase is good butit think it was given to several of us because my boss feared I was looking into other departments lol so now im stuck here for 6 months, when i could have gone to the server support or Network group oh well im not complainging the increase in pay is welcome!

Personally ive been damn busy with everything in the above plus ive become highly addicted to Star Wars Galaxies lol with 2 acounts and 4 fully leveled characters... no time for anything else.

Anyways Ill be around more often than the past few months, i need to stay away from that evil game and conentrate on all else lol.

good to hear things are going pretty good foy bro.

i've kinda been going through some shit too.

After getting let go from job in late January, I was on the look out for a new one. I ended starting a new one in Feb doing plumbing design and engineering. I used to do electrical so now im learning someting new.

Since the new job is like 45 minutes from my home, my shit box oldsmobile with 205k wasnt cutting it anymore. so i had to buy a newer vehicle, even though i really didnt want to. I ended up picking up a 98 F150. So i know how you feel about the gas. The only reason i got the truck was that i can tow the 240sx to events far from home so i dont worry about it braking while racing.

The 240sx is still out of commission at the moment with a blown tranny. Although, i just had my spair one rebuilt and i get to pick it up this friday. Once i pay them the $600 i owe them, lol. Then all i have to do is install the damn thing.

The only thing that sucks is I'm paying $2200 a year for insurance on the F150, and its gonna cost like an extra $800 to add the 240sx to my policy. paying $250+ for insurance and having to pay for the truck is definatly gonna suck!!

Im in line for a promotion already in the new job i just started... There might be a new position for outside sales working in California and if the money is right i will leave NYC and move to Cali.

ive been through 5 girls since October... I just got into it with the 5th one last weekend and i think thats over. But guess where im going tonight? Teh Club I think im going to be single past 30.

I havent gotten back to the Gym since august and im stuck in a fucking gym contract i cant use. So im slightly overweight (at least for me) at the current time.

Ive closed my dating site for the time being and will reopen sometime again in the future.
