I really like driving. Probably because of my ADD - same reason I work so much on computers - it gives me time to do one thing with one side of my brain, while think and clear my head at the same time. Multi-tasking. I've been thinking a lot about some stuff with friends and relatives and myself and where i'm going and goals and the ever present problem of money and work and who i am, etc, etc. So i just decided to take a drive around my hometown of Bethany. It's a pretty small area that I like to drive - I normally and mostly just drive around Lake Overholser with the windows down and my sappy music playing. One Headlight by the Wallflowers is a favorite. If i'm in an agry mood I turn on some Staind. It's a routine now. Theraputic. There really isn't much to do around here (I get bored wherever I am though, I don't like sitting still) so it's given me some time to do some thinking away from the normal every day life in SD. Maybe i'll go to China for a while? Maybe I'll stop worrying so much about situations that I have no control over? Maybe I'll get a part time job so i can start paying off my debt? *sigh* I'll do some more driving the next few days.

Too bad I don't have a car out in SD now. But i'm working on that. Tomorrow i'm going to call the mechanic that's worked on my car and my dad's car for the last few years and see if he can get me started in the right direction on getting my Sprite done. hopefully i can get it to the point that I can tow it out to San Diego and work on it there. It'd sure be nice to have out there. I'll post some pictures tomorrow after i've washed it off. It has plenty of work still to be done on it.
Fabrice and I have been working on finishing up the CT66 project for Siemens. We're basically done with it - they've decided on Friday 9/2 for the launch date. That means some more money coming in the next couple weeks. Then hopefully we'll start on a new project codenamed Penelope. Sure would be nice to get that one started quick. I take that back - if we don't start that one quick I have to find another job. At least a part time job. And i don't want to do that because i don't have a car. We'll look in to alternative options. Maybe I can sell some stuff? Art? Anyone want to buy some art?
Remember though -
the stars in the sky aren't shining for you, because if those holes to heaven were close enough to touch, She'd change how empty it is here next to me
