    It is very hard. And I understand he has to put in the hours. I hate the schedule. Idk how people with families do it. He does a 2,2,3 rotation of 12 hr days, 2 weeks of days and then 2 weeks of nights. So most of the time, our date nights get pushed to the not so important pile.
    It frickin sucks.

    Which just goes to show...this is one aspect of American culture I don't like. The value in success is just wayyyy too high. Can't we just aspire to be happy people with just enough?

    Its hard to live on "just enough." Last year I put in over 400 hours of OT. This year I am already at 97 hours of OT per today's paycheck, and I put in 6.5 hours of OT this week and I left at half day today. You do what you have to do in life. Earlier you were complaing about living in the hood and how it takes money to get out. This right here is your answer. Work, and work hard.

    Lol. Sure I hear what you are saying, it's just a fantasy of mine to live in a place where all it takes is happiness. Reality vs. not.
    But still, I think there comes a point where you need to separate work and focus on your happiness. The oldest people alive today are not type A personalities, and they don't worry. I aim to be that person. But it will never happen, I'm too anal retentive on most things.
    But no, my point was not to say not work. In reality you work for what you need and want, I'm just lightly speaking of the kind of person I would aspire to be and the way of life I would prefer. Don't take it too seriously.

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Problem with women is they can't always see the future advantages of future sacrifices.

    One of my exes couldn't understand that sometimes I had to make other plans that didn't involve her. She couldn't handle it and I dumped her ass because of it. There were other reasons, but that had a lot to do with it.

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    I liked this so i could press unlike.

    If you don't like success and getting rewarded for it go back to russia, comrade.

    Went bowling with some friends from high school, had a nice time. Get to Zaxby's, pay $6 for my meal, then one of my friends (whose parents own a chain of Wing restaurants) says "hey we could have got free wings." AFTER my meal??

    I also seen Titanic in 3-D tonight and it was just as fantastic as it ever was. I hope the rest of the weekend and Easter break continue in this pattern.

    Movie was okay. Soundtrack could have been better. -- 3D is a gimmick.

    OMG, THANK YOU. 3D is the biggest gimmick and I wish it would die already.

    What is the point of doing Titanic in 3D? I'll give you a hint, its about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and thats it. People are suckers and fall for it though.
