well ill start out by saying i really needed a car for the winter. ive leached off my dad for a few summers by using his truck because, well, he doesnt even drive it 8months out of the year. anyways, it was time to find a winter beater for the winter of 2005/2006. i searched high and low for the perfect beater, and let me tell you, i found just that.

bought from some weirdo dude in dearborn, this perfect running 94 teal escort was in for a challenge, me. it was actually a really nice looking car when i had bought it. no body damage, granted the interior was gross, but after some cleaning and TLC the thing was worth driving for what i paid for it - a whopping 650. talked the dude down from 800 or 900, i forget. anyways here are some stories about the teal beater or what some of my friends would call, the turtle.

So Today Matt and I decided to grab some lunch while at chimes in Troy and we were initially thinking about going to Pot Belly for a sandwich. But then I mentioned how we still havent gone to Troy High School to randomly eat lunch with some weirdo high schoolers. Bear in mind we are both 24 years old. We figured we could pull it off cause we still look like we are in high school.

So we drive up and . . . Read More..

Let me lay it out for ya: I finished work on Thursday and I had taken Friday off to go see the Tigers wail on the A's in Game 3.  I was planning on staying at my girlfriend, Kim's, place that Thursday night, but I had forgot my winter coat.  I needed to get my winter coat because they had moved the Friday game up from 8pm to 4:30pm because of the expected cold weather that was coming.  So I decided to go home from work before heading to Kim's.

As I get home, I hear the sound of a lot of water running, like someone was taking a shower.  I thought to myself, "WTF?!?!  Who's taking a shower in my apartment?!?"  So I start to run toward my bathroom, and about four steps in, my feet go *squish* *squish* on the carpet and I think to myself, "oh no..."  Sure enough, the lid of my toilet had shot off and water was gushing out the top like a geyser.  My bathroom had turned into a lake.

The other day, my freaking book shelf collapsed. My mom thinks that the cat caused it somehow, cause she was super freaked out.

Check out the damage.

The other day Susan and I had to meet with the Deacon where we are getting married and afterward we went to the Coffee Beanery in Plymouth.

There we met a man, Dong Jun, who was the owner of the establishment. He made Susan a nice coffee and me a really good drink as well.

When he was helping the other people before us, both of us knew that this guy was pretty much the nicest, most genuine and sincere person we have met in a while.

He just had this aura to him. This vibe. He had the biggest smile on his face as well.

After he gave us our drinks, we sat down, but I was itching to randomly go up to him and strike up a conversation.

Dong Jun, is an old Korean guy maybe in his late 50's and we mostly had small talk about lots of things, but it was just so pleasant. He was very wise.

I cant wait to visit him again with Susan. We both new instantaneously that this man has greatness flowing in his blood. It was really weird.
