Tidbits

I am not sure what to post about today. So many little things have happened in the last week, which is how I came up with the title of this entry. About three weeks ago, one of my uncles offered to let me borrow an old 1989 Toyota pickup that he had just sitting around taking up space. In the words of Kelsey, it looks like I am "..driving a brown turd..". It is completely brown with a brown camper. Also, since it does not have any hubcaps, my uncle painted the wheels brown. Since I am Mexican, and therefore also brown, it gives the illusion of one turd driving another one. Other than that, the truck is great. Well, except that I have had to replace several of the parts just to keep it running. Oh yeah, and the speedometer cable is missing, so I don't know how fast I am going. Thankfully, it has a manual transmission, so I can guesstimate my speed quite well. Oh and the wipers stopped working yesterday. Also the starter solenoid needs to be replaced. Other than that, the truck is in great shape.

This past week my manager, a friend, and myself have been tearing off and installing new siding on a house for one of my clients. It has been both an interesting and frustrating experience for all three of us. I had the opportunity to witness first hand what it is like to always think you are right and everyone else is the jerk. I can understand the need to always be the one who is correct in order to elevate oneself above others, but it still saddens me when I see it in those from whom I expect so much more. What adds to this is the exasperation that I feel when I see someone act in what they deem to be a 'holy' way, look down on my music for being 'secular', and then immediately turn around and start arguing and yelling when they don't get their way right away. I truly hope that tomorrow when I go back to the project to finish it off everything goes much smoother.

Tomorrow I will add a couple of pictures of my turd vehicle. (^_^)
