so i found an apartment that happens to be in the same complex as my older brother. i finally talked my parents into cosigning and for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a signiature saying that if i don't pay rent, they will. this of course, won't ever be the case. i officially move in next friday but i'm moving into my brother's extra room on monday so as of sunday night, i will be officially moved out.
on wednesday, i drove to illinois to get a resonator put in place of my stock catalytic converter. the "2-hr drive" turned into a 3.5 hr journey (both ways, i add) of self-exploration and deep internal revelation. no actually it was just a road trip. so anyways. when i got there they looked at my stock exhaust system and laughed. they told me that buying a cat-back system would be my best bet. i told them that no manufacture made a cat-back system for my car so they offered to build me an entire new exhaust system for cheaper than a cat-back system. its loud.
on monday, i went to the doctors for a sinus infection and they told me i have extremely high blood pressure. that pretty much fucked my week. i couldnt drink or anything all week because on thursday i had to get it checked again and if it was still high, i would need medication. well, good news. its almost perfect... 117/78. (120/80) is perfect.
Food for Thought:
so moving out of the nest is a big deal, right? my parents seem split between emotions when seeing their prized, middle child forage out into the realm of reality. my mom, the glue holding together our family tower made poorly out of paper-mache, is sad to see her son go because he brought so many years of light into her life and will miss his smart-ass comments about everything. my father, on the other hand, is sad to see me go because he thinks hes gonna have to pay a lot of money when i don't. if you were a parent, and maybe you are  , how would you feel seeing your child leave and hopefully finding independence?
p.s. - im sweet as hell ^^ |
