I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox

Happy holidays for those of you who actually visit my blog. I haven't had much the chance to post anything worthwhile as of recent. I plan on changing that, however.

Actually.. I stand correct. I can recount the stories from Candy's craft fair funtimes!

It was located in Ludlow, Mass. A terribly boring drive to the west! All in all, the experience was not lacking in any remote sense of the word. Plenty of people watching to be had for those who are not strict enjoyers of the craft. There were so many different types of things going on, being presented, and sold. We spent the better part of our day there and driving. Candy faired pretty well, sold a decent amount of her line and also made a few trades.

This is a picture from later into the day. Our (her) table and the two of us. I was just gearing up to brace myself against the harsh elements that seemingly came out of nowhere! I was on my way to the bagel shop down the road from the hall which held the craft fair when I ran into my mother. She was hours late and I had started to worry. I attempted several times to call her but to no avail. At this point I was hoping good bagels and coffee would set my mind at ease. Ultimately, with luck, I had no need to resort to food and caffeine to rest my worries, and now only needed them out of sheer habit and addiction. My mother took me right over to the bagel shop (and I thank God as it was pretty cold and her car was warmed from her travels). We got back and surprised Candy and Beth with treats and then my mom took a tour of the fair.

That more or less sums up the day without boring you with other details.

I soon will be ordering my block internals and looking into getting my block machined. I was considering sending it to Fast Eddies in New Jersey because of their prolific history and overwhelming reputation. I was quoted nearly $5k. No thanks. A Sterling reputation does not a deal make for me when it comes to that kind of money. Granted, I can't argue with their testimonials and the services they perform.. I'm just not up to spending that kind of money. So I will undoubtedly stay local.

Also, recently I have been looking into body kits and despite arguments against Chaser, I think for economic purposes I will going with their product. I am going to be drifting. Damaged bodies are a slight bit more appealing when your aero costs significantly less than $1200.00. I think for the vert I am much more likely to invest in high quality..but why break the bank over something I plan on getting mangled on more than one occasion?

I will be giving Leon a spare block and head for his build. He seems pretty gungho about doing it. Why not, right?

At any rate.. it is 1:00AM and Christmas Day (or morning if you want to be technical) and Candy has just finished watching 'Gone With The Wind' which probably means we will be going to bed shortly. Stay safe, happy holidays.

Wacky Holidays

So.. I've done a little bit of Christmas shopping. A little..

Picked up some pretty neat stuff for a cerstain someone. It's been a pretty busy season so far.. lot going on at work, and planning, etc. Candy has the Craft fair this weekend so that has consumed a lot of her time.

I have slowed down with the cars. That's not good. I suspect I will get back to it post Christmas. Here's hoping.

Although, tonight.. I did swap the tach from the dohc cluster to the HUD instrument panel. So..I guess every little bit counts.

I also wanted to display my not so flush stance. It really needs work. I definitely need a new suspension set up. I don't want to remove the collars on my coilovers. I haven't been disappointed with the ride, I just don't appreciate the look as much. I also don't think they are that great for lady drift. So here they are:

This definitely could use a smaller tire. I would also like to dial the wheel in a bit and tuck. I've been considering the koni+ground control set up, but I think I will be exploring that option with the vert. For this hatch I just want rigid and driftness with capability to slam for hella sexiness!

This is the second post I've made about the stance. So you know I am concerned

Now I wanted to add a few picutres that were random..but have relevance to this most recent week.

Dickroll anyone? Yep, that's right.. we went to my mom's place the other night for dinner. She was making a pan asian kind of meal. It was delicious (needless to say). One of the eggrolls bear an uncanny resemblance to a mandick. Or..Wongburger. You choose!

Also.. a visit from one of the girls outside. She wanted to check out our tree I suspect. Video included!!

Moooooooooooooooooooo:

Rough Cut Video From The Cruise

So..here is another example of how I sit on things forever. Some footage from the Kanc Cruise this summer with the boys from 240sxONE. The majority of the filming was extremely subpar. I think we should have brought people with experience in filming and really put something nice together.

But the facts are I had to weed through hours of shit, and then good footage that was really just boring.

I still have not invested in better editing software yet. I thought it came with the upgrade for the OS that I bought...but I guess not.

So I apologize for the lack of cleaning up, editing, music, etc. I had big plans, but I dunno when I will actually get around to it..

P.S. the quality is really bad.. If I ever finish editing..I will upload it to vimeo or something.

Not for nothin':

So here we are...it's the Holiday season. Fuck.

It's practically a death wish to venture off doing normal routine anything, at least it seems that way. I can't stand the cavalcade of idiots which are going to be running rampant over the next few weeks. From grocery shopping; to holiday shopping. Meh.

Also, I have fucking JURY DUTY starting tomorrow. I'm

miffed about it. I really don't want to

do it. Ah well.

This past Saturday was the annual Parker's Maple Barn breakfast with the guys and company. The turnout was actually subpar, compared to years prior. I am

not sure if it is lack of interest or communication. Basically, I think we are all older now and the tradition seems less and less relevant to our lives. Since high school, we've practiced this tradition. It's sort of a

promise to ourselves.. And now..it's more of an argument..or testament, rather..to the lack of foresight we had as young men. Hah.

But there was this great sign! It seemed all too

fitting, considering the circumstances.

Well..after that I took the long drive to pick up some Hanabi's off this kid Josh. He was a nice guy. The deal worked out pretty well. It was a straight up trade. That killed a few hours. Following the drive, Candy and I went to Lui Lui's for some dinner. It was alright.

After that we stopped at Home Depot to get chicken wire for the Christmas Tree that we decided to make this year. We got home and started. It was a very painstaking process. It took us the better part of 2 hours. I'm not entirely sure of how satisfied Candy is with it..but I like the way it came out. I think it is complimented very well by our living room. Maybe it's just me? Here are a few pics. One with my phone, one with the Sony.

So after that..we spent some time looking to see if we could find "The Dressing" episode of ATHF..but unfortunately... to no avail. So we cut our losses and watched some Peanuts. Called it a pretty early night and hit the hay shortly after. I am just really beat as of recent. I can't seem to shake this sleepiness. And that is very uncharacteristic of me. Idk..

Well....that about sums it up. Check out the hatch in her natural environment. Just like Mother Nature had intended.. :-)

The hatch needs more squat, less poke, and paint!

Hey guys. I'm making a post to really document how embarrassed I currently am by my hatch.

The most redeeming thing about it is Carl and Wongburger. Hansom fellows for sure. I used to think the raked stance and 15 or 16s with some dick ass poke was the way to go with the hatch...meh.

Below you'll see a few pics, and even a really shitty video (brought to you by Matty :|)

Anyways on with some fotos:

Fuhgeddaboutit!
Here is a few shots from the Kanc cruise this summer. The bottom two were taken by Keven Starling (credit where credit is due.. lol)

This illustrates how much farther I need to dump this car. It rides stiff, pretty comfortable..but this ain't no daily driver! I want this shit to be on it's face, dragging nuts! I'm thinking wide body on the rear too..I just gotta settle on a coilover set up. I am just sick of the raked stance I used to jock so hard.

Apparently I offroad.. at least you'd

Think!

And some vidya! Remember..Matty took it...sorry.

Holy Hell!

So this week is going to be a hell of a long week. So much to do, and, well...only the standard allotment of time in which to do it!

Candy and I are both working 6 days straight this week. We are going to be in the office on Thanksgiving...ughh.. THANK FUCKING GOD FOR THAT!

Ah well..extra money is always good. It's been a bitch this week. I am literally flat broke and Candy is pretty close. Rough! We're doin' alright. I am trying to sell parts, people say "I'll get it this weekend" and then never get back to me. Ah well, I'm sure other people are hurtin' right now too.

Recently, I've done virtually nothing. My motivation has been pretty slack. Muffins have not been getting baked! If you know what I mean.. And I am sure you might. I'm not even sure.

I need to pick up a *NEW* alternator for the hatch..and probably a new battery. But..I find it hard to really get that together when I wanna pull the motor and build that smelly slut up. We still have not found a garage (which also bums me out huge) and that is important. A very important step. We're still just trying to get shit together.

For the vert I have to get some sound deadening..then we are going to replace the interior. We gotta reupholster the gross tweed looking knit pattern bull plop that Nissan decided would look good with something far sexier. I wanna get the interior wrapped up. I found an HUD sub harness too..so hopefully that will work out in our benefit. Just gotta figure out the wiring.

I missed the swap meet yesterday. That's bullshit.

Picking up Hanabis for the Vert on Saturday..that is so sick that I believe only Disturbed fans could possibly understand... >_>

I need a passenger seat for my hatch.

Other than that...golden..I think. Who knows. I just wish things would fall together soon.

STICKERS?!!

So being broke really sucks. Basically, we've been scraping together what little funds we can do pay the things we need to. Bills are taken care of and all that shit. Now spending money is low. BOGUS!

At any rate.. I might be having some stickers printed out, not sure if we're gonna do die cut or print yet. And I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna do a pigbomb related sticker. Not entirely sure yet. It just depends on when, really.

Sorry, I don't really have something cool to update with. It's been a slow week. Next week I plan on scooping up some Hanabis for Candy. We're probably gonna work on the vert a good deal. That right there will be the money. Hahaha.

Thanksgiving is up in the air for me too. I really don't feel like doing anything for it this year. I dunno why.

Here is a video for you all to check out. It's from the cruise. I feel like I am leaving you guys high and dry. Just a snap of Film from inside Leon's car coming under the bridge onto 93North. Featuring Myself and Willy Will.

That is all for now. Buy my parts and stickers! :-)

Update - Pictures from our recent past

So, I had plans for some epic post regarding the kanc cruise. Sexy pics and awesome videos and yada yada. Truth be told... I have not really worked on the video in some time. It's been a complete pain in the ass in fact. I need a software upgrade before I can really make it shine. Right now I'm talking awful editing comparable to using two VCRs to assemble footage.

Haha, well, needless to say...it may be a while before I can post som

ethin

g worthy. But I do have some alright pictures to post. So I figure why not?

So here are some shots!

Snazzy picture of Willy Will's car:

And here is a shot of Leon and I at about 7AM. I like the sh

ot..a good candid.

Some Dan Button for dat ass..

Another good shot...at least I like it. Simplistic and kinda dirty. Good

Now...Sorry for all the huge pictures. I wanted to post them big because I like them that way. I know usually I post something a little smaller. But these may find there way onto my computer background at work today.

P.S... Today is my first Friday of the week which I love. I hate split days, shitty hours, and having to really modify my life for this, but...I get by. This weekend(s) I think we are really going to have to attack the vert to get it ready enough to replace the interior, and move, and swap the motor.

Farts~

Anyways... I end with this

FARTS!

So far I suck at this..

But shit... I'm currently the only asshole who has even posted. I figured someone else would have contributed...but apparently they just can't hang.

Anyways.. let's see..what is new?

I picked up a Bride Zeta II about a month ago for the hatch..you guys know what they look like so I won't be posting. Candy and I picked up some Corbeaus for the vert. They are pretty boss. I think the Vert is going to be wicked hella pissa. At least I am hoping.

I really dropped the ball on posting about the Kancamagus cruise from August. Which is bullshit. That was a goo

d time. Got to meet some of the kids from ONE for the first time. All solid!

I have plenty of video and pictures from that... I'll really have to get off my ass and take care of that so I have something to post. I feel like this is already shaping up to be dog shit and that is not what I want. But...let's see where it goes.

And since everyone is only into blogs for the pictures... I'll leave with a teaser from the cruise.

First Official Post Nigga!

Well, I've been sitting on this blog for weeks now. I've been meaning to update..or rather, make a first post. Seriously, I have. But there really hasn't been anything worthwhile. At least not involving me. In fact, this post is destined to be pretty subpar comparatively speaking to what I imagine this blog will produce. At least I hope.

At any rate..after months of trying to get my car road ready, on Labor day Kevin and I make the final cuts. And what was supposed to be a couple of bro guys taking an afternoon cruise turned into a very modest, but fun none the less meet. Kevin took some pictures, and I snagged a couple with my phone. Did I mention I got pulled over and ticketed?

Also, Leon picked up a new coupe for himself. It was about time we called the most perfect hatch in the world a loss. So, Tim now owns the hatch and Leon and I went today to get his new ride. What a clusterfuck process it was too. Massachussetts.. oi vey. Took us two days to get this done when it should have only taken one. But we did that. Dang woop will rise again.

And this is Leon's 93. Shit needs new brakes.

So..no solid plans for Tomorrow yet. I definitely wanna do something though... especially now that Leon is on the road again. I hear it's supposed to rain tomorrow..nice and easy on the tires ;-)

There is a meet/ run on 9/26. I'll be there, Kevin, probably Leon. Hopefully Tim, Jordan, Rusty Weed, and that duder Matt go too.

We'll probably take mad pics and videos. Will make for a good post I assume.

This is all I got for today. Maybe someone else will post.
