I don't care who you are, This is epic in its coolness!!!

I spent a good bit of the day saddled with depression. Lately this has become a regular occuance. Usually I can fend it off with a good workout, but with going to class after work 3 days a week and being busy after class on saturday, I'm not working out but 3 days a week. Because of this I've noticed I'm feeling depressed a lot more often, for longer periods of time as well. Anyways, to lift my mood I resort to things like this:

I could watch this for hours. That's it for now, so fuck off and have a crappy day! I know I will!

Drift scene in MI and Sora no Otoshimono

First I'm gonna bitch about the total lack of enthusiasm for drifting in MI. At a website I frequent, there was a posting about the interest in a drift test-n-tune at a local short track in Oct. Because there's nothing other than drifting in my eyes, I was all for it. However, a few people said they were done for the year. How is it possible that you could decide, "you know what?, I think I've had enough for this year". What The Fuck! I have to give them points for atleast trying to drift, but sometimes I think some of the people in the scene in this state are in it for the life style. At work, I think about drifting. At home, drifting. At school....you guessed it. Drifting. I would do that shit in the dead of winter so long as the surface was clear of snow and dry. And I don't even have a heater in my car anymore! It doesn't faze me. I seen a few documentaries on drifting and they interview all these drifters who just eat, sleep, live the drifter life. Total die-hards. It'd be cool if we had interest like that here. Then, maybe we wouldn't have events being cancelled for lack of entries........
Granted, it's the fair-weather drifters life to do what he wants with it and I don't have any say in it, but what bothers me is that I have to rely on them feeling up to attending an event so I can go drifting. If I had a private place to go practice at, I probably wouldn't give a damn. But since I don't, the only way I can get seat time is to wait for them or do some street drifting(VERY illegal). What else can I do? Hell there was an event on the schedule for last sunday, but it never happened, it wan't even promoted. The Drift Battle 2009 event a week ago almost didn't happen as well, because of low entry count. I want to drift, but half-assed mother fuckers aren't as into it as I am and it affects my ability to get seat time. I definately need to try and doo something about my situation. I'm not sure what, but something's gotta change.

On a better note I started watching a new anime "Sora no Otoshimono". I've only watched the first episode so far and it's rife with cliches. It has the typical annoying male douche bag lead(who I'll refer to as "the idiot"), the hot female childhood friend, named Mitsuki, and the ridiculosly hot girl who fell from the sky, named Ikaros. Of course Ikaros calls the idiot "Master" and wears a collar that has a chain connected to it and the other end wraps around his hand. Did I mention the Ikaros has wings? No? Well now you know. I see a lot of simillarity to DearS in this one. I noticed that Ikaros has a sad look on her face at all times. Hmmm. One momment Ikaros feels like a slave of sorts, then the next it feels like there's something more to her. I'm gonna have to focus on getting a better read on her. I bet Mitsuki will end up having feelings for the idiot at some point. I'm going to give it a chance and see where it goes. Here's a shot of the characters. We've not seen the little blue haired girl yet, but I bet you can make the other three pretty easily.....

Do I want to know what this means???????

I had the strangest dream last night. I don't remember a whole lot, but this is what I recall: I'd been dating a woman named Karen for some months and I decided it was time to introduce her to my Mom. Karen and I arrive at Moms and before I can even introduce them to each other, I notice the expressions of horrified suprise on their faces as they stare at each other. At this point Mom says "Karen?!" And Karen replies with "Mom?!". Then I woke up.
Appearantly I'd been dating and subsiquently screwing my sister for a few months........ They say dreams mean things. I've thought about it off and on today and I've no idea what the hell it means. I don't think it's based in reality, because I know my Mom would be upfront about something like my having a sister. As of now, I just don't know what it could mean and I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

It's about time......

I finally made it through a drift event unscathed, mechanically, in any way. Don't get me wrong, I spent the day puting out "fires" as I usually have to do. The hand brake wouldn't cooperate at all. And new clutches aren't real partial to working when abused before they've been broken in. To combat these issues, I had to let the car sit periodically to keep the clutch cool and I had to use "shift-lock" to initiate a few of the turns(Thanks go to Chris for that one). In practice for the comp, the tires on the front were junk. I'd enter the turn, initiate, start my slide and the tires would stop gripping and suddenly it's pushing up the track. Bolting on spares for the rear helped immensly, because they're a lot bigger(wider). I didn't make the comp. My runs weren't good enough. While they were my best of the day(it took me all day to get my act together...), they did suck. However they were so much fun that all the aggrivation from earlier in the day was worth it.
I'll be honest, I'm REALLY glad the season is over. It's been a long and expensive season. The car is good, now it's time to make a list of what I'd like to change over the winter, prioritize it and get started. Right now here's what I'm looking at:
1. Change the brake system so the foot pedal controls just the front and install a dedicated master cylinder as the hand brake for the rears.
2. Fab lower arms and modify the tie-rod mounting on the spindles for more angle.
3. Install a power Mustang rack to get some weight off the nose
4. Change the rear suspension to a 3-link with a panhard bar.
A few of these projects are rather ambitious, but well with in my abilities.

To my job......

Dear Job,
  While I could carry on a long and boring rant about how much I hate your guts, I'm going to save us both a lot of time and sum it up with this from Asuka: 

I hate you, you bucket of fetid monkey cum

       love, Mike

Finally, something I feel lucky to have....

Today I was driving for work(that's what my crappy job entails now....) and passed by one hell of a hot female. I could only see from the back, and what great backside it was. I'm sure the front looked just as good. She had an amazing rear, beautiful straight black hair, and was black(african-american if it makes you feel better.). What does this have to do with my feeling lucky? I consider myself lucky because a womans ethnicity has no bearing on how attractive I find her. Because I'm not tripped up on something (as I see it) so basic and elementary, It's a very cool thing to see so many hot women around me. When skin color means nothing to you, there are limitless possibilities of mates. This really comes into play when I deliver to the college. Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White. They're all represented and in great numbers. Over the years I've known many guys who aren't racist, but wouldn't consider dating out of their ethnicity. My though is why let something so rudimentary keep you from finding the woman who could be your perfect mate?

One of those days.......

It was a little foggy on the way to class this morning, so I had the headlights turned on. I remember thinking to myself that I need to remember to turn them off when I got there. Of course I didn't. Returning to the car after class, I discovered the battery to be dead. Called AAA for a jump but it was soo dead, it wouldn't budge. Godammit, this does not bode well for my day.... Called Mom to come and bail my ass out. Called my buddy on the way home, to see if he could help out in retriving my car from school. Got home, went to his house, went to my brothers to get my trailer, drove all the way to the other side of the city, back to school. Tried to jump the car for the hell of it. Suprise! It started. Drove the car back to Moms and my buddy followed. Grabed the stuff for the Malibu, returned to the barn, dropped the trailer and fixed the 'Bu. Went back to my buddys house and picked up the Blazer that I'd driven there to meet him, and finally returned home.
Text book example of a cluster-fuck, but at least it worked out in the end. I got my car back and the 'Bu is now totally fixed and ready for battle in two weeks at Drift Battle 2009(provided it isn't cancelled due to lack of entries.).

This image is from "Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan". It has a couple of REALLY hot lead characters, Plug(red hair) and Aresta(blue hair and my favorite), and some good fan service(as seen above), and I REALLY want to like this, but there are a few things holding me back. The lead male keeps hitting the two hotties with a baseball bat constantly(I'm only four eposodes in thus far....), sometimes resulting in them wetting themselves. Frankly, I'm not into "water sports" and find this kinda stupid. Aresta seems to be turned on by being hit by him. Sorta bothersome.... It's got some excellent ecchi, which I love, but the whole bit with the abuse of the girls is trippin' me up.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.....

It's Sunday eve. and I figured i'd share some more catgirl love with you. (like anybody really reads this crap....) Why do I continue to do this? Because:
1. I have a thing for catgirls
2. I have no life
3. I'm bored
4. I just feel like it.
By the way, These awesome images are by Kamiya Tomoe. The dude (or dudette) does beautiful catgirl work! As usual, click on the pic to get the bigger versions.....

Of course I dig the catgirl maid the most. And she's even rockin the "shimapan".

Wheelhop - 2 and Moser Eng. axle - 0

Here's the axle I twisted off last weekend. I pulled the "good" one out to replace the seal and discovered that the splines on it had twisted. So, I just ordered another one. You can sure bet I'm gonna fix this goddamm wheelhop issue! To recap, I flushed a pair of Moser Eng. 1541H steel axles down the drain due to wheelhop. This sucks. If you can avoid it, don't repeat my mistake. I was a bitch getting the broken piece out of the differential.
