Ideas, recommendations, suggestions or requests?

Do any of you have any of the above for the Monday music? I usually can come up with something pretty easily but would like to see if you have something to share that I may be unaware of...or would just like to hear.


Also, How was your weekend? You guys sure have been quiet or is my writing boring? Regardless, I would love to hear from you. Like how Vanessa did in her 'cross race. Is Shawn back home yet? Anything from the Chief would be great, have not talked to her or heard from her in a long time. How was Leah's birds on the brain? How is that guy in PDX doing? Not to mention Autumn.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you

I want to say thank you for the people you are and taking time to read my rambles. Have a wonderful time with your families or who ever you will spend today with.


Vanessa, would you do me a favor sometime? Go have a REAL Ensalata Caprese for me. Since it is impossible here in the states and I am unable to make it back there to have one myself. I have been craving one everyday for the past week.

Unfortunate and inconvienent

I was due to hit the road for the strip or in other words "Sin City" on the 12th but my truck had other plans for me.

It started on Sunday the 9th, when all of a sudden my truck had some what a mind of its own. Or in this case I should say my transmission. I was driving down the road and out of now where it just kicks out of gear. My truck is an automatic by the way. Anyways, as I suddenly panic as there are cars behind me as I cease to accelerate, my instincts quickly take over and I attempt to change gears via the column shifter. When that failed as well as putting it into neutral and back in gear did, I slam it into 4 wheel drive and bam! it works and I start my way down the road. Although It worked, I quickly headed home which luckily was only about 3 blocks away.

I knew I had a serious problem on my hands but was not aware how severe it was on the gearing, as well as on my wallet. I ended up borrowing a friends trailer and my parents lent me their truck. I hauled it to a highly recommended mechanic and started the waiting game. With having to order parts and me having to get some money together, It was gone for close to a week and a half. So needless to say, after driving my parents truck and me having to wait to see what the bill came to, I made the decision to not head to Vegas and hang with friends and see some dirt racing at LVMS. There were 219 modifieds alone for the weekend! Anyways, I ended up spending $1400. Which cut out my trip to Seattle for Thanksgiving. Denver for my upcoming birthday weekend. And last but not least my Christmas fund...

Oh well I will make things work somehow. At least it happened while I was still at home and not half way to Vegas in the middle of no where, with no cell signal. Hopefully I will make it to Vegas next year. Now comes the decision of holding onto my truck or going for a new in the very near future...

At least I pulled it with another Ford. Regardless it was sad to see my truck broke down like that.

Sal In Harlem (In response to Chaya)

I am not voicing my side on the presidential election, just as I see that Chaya has kept her side to herself. Chaya correct me if I am wrong but what you are getting at, as well as what I am getting at, is that the majority of people who voted in this election really were clueless and still are. Regardless of who they may have voted for or didn't vote for. Please listen to the youtube video below. The radio personality has nothing to do with how these people answered. Even though the questions were asked to people in Harlem. I believe that these questions could have been asked all over the country and the response would have been very similar in an unnerving way just as it is here...
