I will not

Ever confuse myself for being a "thug".
I might say or do some crazy shit but I never did any growing up in the hood.

Be calm about my "H" or "T" button not working on my keyboard.
I might break my laptop if it doesn't start cooperating.

Have an ugly girlfriend and say or think she is attractive.
I'm not going to lie to myself or try to convince you of my lies.

Hide my love for profoundly open and understanding old people (70+)
I don't mean this in a sexual way, sick bastard.

Tell you your girlfriend is cute, smart, funny, or anything of the like.
I will tell you the opposite if it's true though.

Lie to you but I will tell you what I think you want to hear.
I don't know which is worse.

Get over my trust issues any time soon though I do believe in love.
Unfair but true.

Ever fear saying sorry or admitting I'm wrong.

Because of everything I'm not, I am enough of a man to do those two things.

Give up the idea that taking action is easier than asking permission.
It's also more efficient.

Claim to be artistic or begin to think I fully exploit my potential.
Pretty sure it's because I'm too lazy.

Say I appreciate all that I should.
Because I don't

HYDROCO/APAP 5/500

Is it bad that two out of the three sales guys here are high as a kite right now? One of which is me. Some times, just some times, it's fun to work here. At least I've got a prescription and a reason to be taking these pills.

My foot hurts

Almost as bad as a double dose of gonorrhea and syphilis. I would know. I really think it's a combination of too much drinking and driving, DUI's are a bitch.

It's been an eventful week what with my foot progressively getting worse, downloading demo games on the Play Station, arguing with various women, and getting involved in a web of my friend's blogs. Oh, and my girl scout cookies came in this week, they are yummy.

I've thought of a series to compose called "Fucked by the man - stories that make me wonder why I still work here and make you laugh." I'm excited to get that under way.

You need to check out sxephill on youtube. It's funny shit.

New hotness

We just rolled an 09 Suzuki Hayabusa on to the showroom today and it looks awesome! I'll also say that I love white motorcycles, I'm glad manufacturers have started to produce more of them.



One of my favorites continues to be the 08-09 Honda CBR 1000RR

Old

Haven't we all heard "They don't build them like they used to."? As time has passed I've found a new affinity for old stuff.

Take the 1974 Yamaha RD350



357 lbs, 350cc Twin two-stroke, 39hp, 6-speed, 105mph top speed. It's simple, it's fast, it's cool looking. Give me an old brown leather jacket and a set of aviators and I'll race you to Texas.

Or how about the 1936 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic?



I can't think of a modern car with a better looking ass. 200hp supercharged I-8 with dry sump lubrication, DOHC, 5500 rpm red line, 123mph top speed! This was 1936 in case you forgot! It hauled ass and looked like it had some dignity.

Any more we've got the latest version of the razors edge. A lighter, faster, more powerful object of sex appeal and speed. Though that's exactly what the two of these examples were, we've lost what old stuff has - character. The ability to duplicate the latest and greatest testimony of mobile excess doesn't build character. It builds whatever it is you're stamping out.

The RC8 and the Veyron are great but I miss these things that I never knew, these things that are older than I am. I want to see more of them. I want to be involved with objects that have more wisdom than I do, not more technology than I'll ever understand.

Looks like there's an old, appreciative side to me after all.
