[Titley Words]

Well, it's the beginning of a new month, and that marks the beginning of...something...I'm sure...I do know that the ricers are out in full force...I don't think I've ever seen so many fart cans in a week. [fart can- those huge mufflers on ricers that make them really loud and serve no real performance purpose] But that's ok. Once I finish my car, I'll write entertaining stuff on it. It'll say stuff like "This car thrives on a healthy diet of Camaros, Mustangs and rice." At that point, it'll have at least a shift kit, cam, and a new intake manifold, maybe a new carb and some noise making by Flowmaster if I'm rich. Headers if they make them...probably some suspension help...you know, all the basics.

On a non-car topic, I hate english class. My teacher called home today cause she thinks I'm a A or B student, not a D student. I don't agree. Old literature is no fun. I'd read a textbook from a COD auto class cover to cover as quickly as I could, but not old satire about old victorian england.

But since nobody cares about my car ideas or my english class, I think I'll talk about somethin else. I know I told you I'd tell you what I was thinkin before but I kinda lost my train of thought. I do remember some of what I was thinkin. Here goes.

Aaron talked about how supernatural things really are real and that we get hassled by satan all the time. I think he was right. I can tell where my thoughts come from. If I pay attention, I can pick out the strange crap satan puts there and see it for what it really is. Then I was talkin to Bjorn about demons and stuff and he was thinkin that satan chooses not to do scary visual supernatural stuff here to mess with us cause we try to explain everything all scientific-like, instead satan gets us where it's alot easier...materials. That stuff can be such a distraction. I mean look at my blog, the first part of this post is all about my car. I spend more time thinkin about it then I do my relationship with the Lord. It's sad but true. Which I guess kinda brings me to my next idea for rambling on, lent. I think it's an interesting concept, but it's misunderstood. I don't remember who kept tellin me this, but if you take somethin out of your life, something else will naturally fill that hole. The point of lent is for God to fill that hole. Like if you gave up intornetting for example, you could pray and study the Bible all during that time that you would normally sit here and talk to people. [intornetting- use of the Internet in any form, be it web surfing, email or the most common definition, instant messaging] Giving up something like meat seems kinda dumb cause you wouldn't really suffer because you have so many other options. To be really arrogant, I think I picked somethin good to fast from: music/radio/entertainment in my car. I'm in my car alot and I always have the radio really loud. What better time than that to sit there and just talk with the Lord? It makes me think alot too instead of just singing along with some meaningless song. I knew it would be really hard for me to do that, so I actually went as far as to pull my stereo out of my dashboard. [It's easy, just 2 screws] Now I have this big gaping hole in my dash reminding me that it's quiet in there for a reason and what I should be doing instead of just staring off into space. It's pretty cool. I might even leave the radio out after Easter. Or I might put it back in but be so used to the quiet that I'd rarely use it. Who knows. I thought it was a good idea.



Tune in next time for my opinion on something else. Maybe if I'm in a good mood I'll complain about love. That might take awhile tho.
