Adventures in Zephux

Since summer semester has started, I haven’t posted anything at all. For that I apologize. However, it is coming to a close next week (about time if you ask me). This has been the semester from Hell. I’ve still been here at my co-op job part time, but the school part is what has been killing me. The class lineup is a nightmare. If I was actually the type that did homework, I would probably have hogtied a professor by now. Actually, that’s probably not a half bad idea. It wouldn’t take much =)

Some other events have rolled out in the past few months. I did get those white evil fluff ball kitties (I stole my mom’s) but recently surrendered them back to her. They were originally my sister’s and she wanted them back. Also, I got out of the relationship I was in. It only lasted about 3 or 4 months and was fun, but it just wasn’t for me. I think that girl has moved on, I’m happy for her. I, too, have moved on. I am back with my ex-fiance. We have been on and off for almost four years now. I’m hoping it will work out this time, she’s the only person that has ever really made me happy. I was talking a lot before about jumping on a train and just riding until it stopped, it didn’t matter where I went. I actually would not do that now. I’m happy enough with my life that I would stay right here. She’s a good distance away so I only see her on weekends, but for now it’s worth it.

The other thing that has happened is really big… I BOUGHT A CAR! My truck for some reason was being dumb and refused to start when I would tell it too. I decided that instead of pouring money into it (every car I touch breaks) I would just say “forget it” and buy something new, I mean brand new off the lot new. That way, not only would it be beautiful, but would also have a long warranty so I could stop worrying. It can break all it wants now and I don’t care. Just for the sake of showing off (cause I’m an arrogant prick like that apparently… I’m just proud of the car, I think I paid enough to show off a little, give me a break lol) It’s a brand new Arrest Me Red, Mazda6 (Zoom Zoom is the Mazda saying if you didn’t know, hence the title). It’s a good car, I got a 72 month extended warranty (that’s 6 years for you non-math people). It also has a Bose sound system, heated leather seats, a moon roof, spoiler, insert other favorite option here. It’s fully loaded. I ended up with an automatic because there were no manuals left in red on this half of the country (it’s an ‘08, the ’09s don’t come out till the end of next month). I did test drive a manual Mazda3 and also an automatic. The 3’s are zippier because they are lighter and have the same engine, but don’t look nearly as sporty and have far less room inside (not to mention would have been $5,000 cheaper with all the same options lol, but money wasn’t the point). I like the 6, that’s what I went there to buy. They just happen to have a fully loaded one and I couldn’t resist. Don’t worry, it’s the end of the model year, so I talked them down to a very nice price lol. Well, I’m done bragging about my new baby, but someone had to hear it (my friends are pretty sick of hearing about it).

Expect to see a lot more getting done on the site now that school is finishing up. I’ll be back on co-op full time as of July 28th, so I will have much more freetime to write and work on projects, and I do have a few projects in mind despite my lack of usuable income (having a semi-financed car sucks, I want it paid off, I’m hoping to have it paid in full by December). It also looks like I’ll be on the robot team for the school next semester, so I’ll post all my info on that in a randomness or something. Also, maybe make a hardware section for it. I gotta get back into the groove here, I had so much nice content for a while =)
