Post teen angst with mature desires
Category: Romance and Relationships

Its the Jax once more. There is an order that one must live life, from sperm and egg, incomprehensible baby, learning child, prepubescent-mature teen, newly adult, grown-up and senior citizen. Sometimes these things variate at certain age sections. And there is a simple way of putting it: trying to be older than you are. Although not so easy explination for it all. No onoe wants to age with grace, they want to atleast reap the benefits before their time. Thats not too much of a problem when theres not extreme or nearly extreme consequences. Keeping a steady relationship, stealing the car, smoking and drinking all before our time or doing things that our considered to be before our time.

People are gonna do what they want but sometimes the choices we make are the wrong choices, are the choices we have no business making. Often it turns into a NASCAR crash from there. Especially as emotions go awary leading to more angry people. More strife and apathetic feelings. Decent thinking goes sparse and the right thing to do is yet to be done and is far and between. Everyone is affected by the few and the raw impulses. Friends become enemies and decent relationships of any kind are ripped apart. When its all said and done theres no use as everyone is one sided taking what I call the Hatfield & McCoy syndrome. Theres just a large feud goin one that only escalates as time passes on for most of the coices made by some parties are deemed unforgivable acts. Reference to the first paragraph; people want to be grown while keeping the youth. Thats not even the half of it though. Negative emotional desires will be the reckoning. Theres no soon ending and no common ground in sight. Things like this take down villages to nations as those are made to pick sides and fight for superiority.

Junie & Me
Category: Pets and Animals

I just got through watching the movie Marley & Me and if you dont know; it's about this guy who gets a dog for his wife as a form of a gift and to take her mind away from the list she has written to set her whole life. They end up getting what the seller called a "Clearance Dog". He had this inane ability to tear up, destory and eat anything. As horrible as the dog appeared they soon realized although hyper that they wouldnt have it any other way. I won't give away any ending and if you was listwning to 102.3 The Max you already know. Let me tell you knowing something doesnt mean a thing. Anyone who can watch this movie and not feel the same emotions I felt is , is just cold hearted.

I was reminded of my dog, Junie who had left me a few years back. I just started thinking of all that time spent with her. We basically grew up together. I got her when I was in elementary school and she was just a puppy, like a little puppy who could barelly even walk straight. I was told she was stolen by my uncles friend from a farm. We couldnt have her so she stayed with my grand mother who lived and still does in the California community. I always wanted her to be comfortable and happy. I remember fixing up a box for her to sleep in a while after we first got her and she wouldnt stay in it, but it was there for her. She made under the kitchen table her home as she got older. Another reoccuriong memory is when we snuck her into Krogers grocery store. I had her under my coat and every once in a while she'd pop her head out and look around. She stayed quiet the whole time

I used to think she was some kinda Husky but when her color filled in a bit more. I was really into dogs ised to get all kinds of books from the Library, I must've read the book Bingo 3 times and seen the movie twice. Homeward Bound was the shit. I even seen the original one. We used to let her outside and we would go with her. I remember one day she ran down the street and I couldnt catch her cause when dogs are puppy's they like to play catche me. I was so pissed she wouldnt come I was yelling and cryying thinking she was gonna run away forever. Then she came back. I dont know if it was cause she was a Border Collie orr what it was maybe like Marley it was cause she was a real unique dog, not some normal dog.. I would walk her around the neibourhood at first we used a chocke chain but forgot about it and stopped using it. She never was a walk beside you type dog. Eventually she would have the run of the neibourhood or atleast the block she lived on. There was no worry about her runnin off and not coming back. Sometimes she would come back really stinky but she came back.

Junie was always friendly unless anyone but me touched her tail. She thought she was human, if you try and scold her she would give you back talk, she understood how you felt. She hated the vacuum cleaner, thunderstorms and fireworks. SHe was quick, not the fastest dog but pretty fast and agile. It's funny watching her kick up bits of grass as she does one of her tight radius turns.. The only real anger she's ever showed was when these group of boys was walking down the street when she wwas outside. We dont know why but she hated them and they only came through there one more time after that and never came down that street again as far as we know. They were lucky to get away, not saying she's mean, just saying as quick as she is.

I have fond memories of her, like when she came over my house and we let her out on her own, she ran off to who knows where. We thought she ran into Shawnee park cause we lived accross from there at 4425 W. Broadway. We looked from I dont know howw long. I looked and my friend next door lokked with me and somehow my granny and nephew showed up. So we rode around the park and nearby areas, on the way back me, my nephew and my friend rode in the trunk of the Mustang((Roxanne) and the hatch started to close so we took turns kinda holding up the hatch. ANyway by the time we got back she was upstairs watching us pull in. When I had this baskart I "modified" and would push her around in it. Or when I made a jail out of the living room table and she found a way out and ate most of my pizza I had sitting on the floor when I went to wash my hands. I can remember taking her to the park, chasing her with the water hose giving her baths. All the boy and his dog type things.

I didnt put all that I wanted to put on here, I remember just about every single thing that has to do with her, like the time I asked her if she loved me and she shook her head 'yes'. My last memory is in 2007 during that one big storm we had and he was outside. Typically if shes outside in the rain she goes to her dog house but she didnt, she ran off. I was told by my granny's friend down the street who Junie loved to visit and who also had a dog Junie played with (Those are some stories) till she died a year or two befor. Junies only other friend.. ANyway, she told me she seen Junie running down the street and tried to call her to let her in the house cause she was allowed to come in but she just looked at her scared like she's never been and took off running. I think even my uncles friend a lil furthur down the street seen her. Just about everyone who lived on that street enjoyed her company. I went looking all over the place., The whole neibourhood I checked, didnt find her. So I was watching Marley & Me tonight and towards the end I couldn't stop from crying. I could have wrote more but I don't want to. I had a dog named Junie-Carrol, LaMar Grady, I had grew up with. She would be a 16 year olf Border Collie/German Sheppard this June, and now I don't have my only friend anymore.

Twisted Sisters
Category: Automotive

I wish I could remember what this was originally to be titled. I also wish that Mongoose didn't break a rear swingarm cause I'm stuck on the damn TARC. Actually I do remember what to tittle this which is what it's tittled now(changed it mid way through).

Anyway I'm talking about the best way to do a comparision is to make whatever it is asfar as vehicles are concerned as similar as possible. Thats my plan for these possible two vehicles in my future. A 80's Mustang and Camaro. I have it so it basically comes down to the bodystyle alone which 80's fastback hatch reigns. the drivetrain must be close as possible and I've found one engine they both can get and one transmission.

Both: Will be getting a 383 (351W and 350sbc conversions) N/A and a T-56 transmission Viper spec. ANd just because these are something I plan to build for the fuck of it; IRS( Cobra and Vette) instead of the SRA because there axles dont come close. Either 18 or 17 inch five spoke rims and whichever brake company does brakes for both.

Mustang(4eye not aero btw): will get a Double wishbone front suspension cause it lacks one.

Another good reason for the IRS is the fact Camaros have a Trackbar which is a 3-link setup, Stock it already outhandles the Stang. I originally was gonna give the stang a conventional 3link and improve the Maros 3-link plus a Watts link all around. Aside from custom and Restomod stuff thats about it. I may update this blog entry some aswell.

Road Rash
Category: Automotive

Seriously, I hadn't even had the biek a week and already my first crash. I traded this BMX style bike for a full suspension Mongoose mountain bike (It's real nice, front disc brake and everything). I plan on some fenders removing the spraypaint a rear rack, etc. Well I was leaving my g/f's house and I was goin down the hill by the UofL campus (the one that goes by the soccoeer field and whatever that street is that takes you to that dead end that makes you turn of 4th st). As soon as I started to go under the overpass my right foot slipped off and I slid sideways; having the gaurdless crank dig into my leg, my shorts ripped, arm scrapped, skinned knee and the like.

The bad thing is my mama and grandmother were home. Well good cause my mama is the only person who made a big deal out of it. I had to tear up an a-shirt aka wifebeater to use as bandages. Soaked in alcohol and hydrogen pyroxide. I believe the pedals are too small, I've never had that problem before but I'm gonna see if the crank gaurd will come off my crappy Incline and the BMX style pedals I put on it. Plus I have orientation at GSI today and it's kinda hard to walk because of the bandages. There was like no pain through this whole ordeal. Somethings wrong with the bikes chain or rear derailure or crank but it's ridable. I know Mongoose arent really good bikes, I think it's called a Mongoose Nuerosis(sp?) or just has that sticker on it.

My Collection
Category: Automotive

Yo, this is something I never thought about even putting on here: my halftrack collection. Asfar a sI'm concerned its the best SUV ever Its not literally an SUV I just call it one. I also forgot about the digital camera my mama had so I'll try an pice together my second one off model dubbed Metro Trek. My first one was made from two Lego technic kits sorry I dont remember they're code numbers but it was a r/c kit and the Tarra Karva(somim like dat) from back when the warrior metra nui started getting popular in 03 I think.

I have if I remember correctly 18 models varring from store bought, stolen ones to one I got cheated on paying more than it was worth, and some that are transformers and having had to be built. I dont however have any Kettenkrads to speak of sadly. So I am going to build one probably from K'Nex, Lego and other various parts from old toys I'm stripping. A Kettenkrad is a motorcycle-halftrack thats pretty fuckin tyght. I figure one day I will make two modern style krads using a motorcycle, snowmobiles and a ATV, the motorcycle will be like the original and the ATV will probably be a retrofitted side x side that will hopefully be awtd(all whell/track drive) this will be in the future. Along with two restomodded halftracks a Hanomag and an american model like an IH, Autocar or something i just dont know if want the wiench model or roller. To end this quickly I'll say to keep with the topic @hand and to finish this blog I'll probably have pictures of them and info tomorrow.

There are some that I couldnt git a pic of cause the camera was dying:

These are two of a few models I have from Americas Army

GI Joe

K'nex Boss Vehicle, their design not my idea

This one is, its the Lego Sport Trac I built

Roller model M1A2

Wench model M1A2 or 3 with quadgun mount and two Transformers

Matchbox and another Transformer. I'll haff to get the others another day and same for my half-assed build up of the MetroTrek(pronounced Track) I will haff to do cause I had forgot about the camera.
