66' Ford Fairlane
Once again, I forgot to write a blog for last week, it just keeps slipping my mind. My life has been extremely busy lately and the free time I do have, I don't want to spend on homework. But now I am writing, which is the important thing. I can't remember the last time that I wrote so I'll start from the beginning. About two weeks ago I was told that I could take my Dad's first car out of my grandma's garage. The car is a two door 1966 Ford Fairlane with a 289 V8 engine and an automatic transmission. I have been trying to convince my grandma to give it to me for the last 5 years and finally she is letting me, so I am pumped. I went over to her house 4 times last week to work on the car and try and get it running to no avail. I had to pump up all the tires and replace one of them. Along with pumping up the tires the car was buried under a pile of old junk and nicknack's. It took me two full days to dig the car out of its garage burial spot. This Thursday me and my uncle will be removing it from the garage and towing it to my dad's storage shed where it will spend its winter and then next spring, will be worked on. So that's what I have been doing this past week, along with school, homework and work. Until next time...

Another Exciting Day!
I don't know really know what to right about so I'll just start by talking about how my day went today. I first slept in until 11 A.M. since it is the first week that I don't have class on Monday. My 8 week Intro to Business Management Course had just ended and I had gotten an A in it which made me happy. I then took a shower and cleaned myself up. After getting dressed I made my bed and cleaned up the pigsty, I call my room. Then since I have been procrastinating on many of my assignments I decided that I would work on some homework. I then worked on Intro to Microcomputers and Intro to Business homework for the next few hours. Then I thought to myself that I had also been forgetting to do my blogging assignments so I wrote this blog. And while I was writing this blog the phone rang and one of those annoying political recordings was on. I immediately hung up the phone and said a few choice words. I am SO SICK of hearing about the election that I am almost thinking about not even voting. But that is a little harsh and I am still going to vote. I have seen enough commercials on TV of each politician this past year to last me a lifetime. I do not mind television ads because you can always change the channel, but when they call your house I think it is a violation of my privacy. And the funny thing was, is that It wasn't even a real person, it was a recording. A recording of Hilary Clinton endorsing Obama which I thought was hilarious because they were at each others throats earlier this year. I just can't wait until after Tuesday that I will not have to listen to any more campaign ads or answer any more Hilary Clinton telephone calls. Until four years from now AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
