Sit down and fasten your seatbelt; It's gonna be one helluva ride...

If you've got a hunger for horsepower, a thirst for torque, or just an addiction to anything automotive, you've come to the right place. Let me just say cars are my life. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved everything about em. Hopefully, since you're here, you do too. Welcome to my blog; where we live life a quarter-mile at a time. R.I.P Johnbird, and Jake; two guys who loved to live life in the fast lane.

Excited

   This weekend was, for the most part, amazing. Friday night was awesome; got to watch the Flyers win with my friends, and we took a good ol' bro trip to Red Robin and ate man food. Saturday was the Wilmington St. Patrick's Day Parade, and we all drove different cars in memory of my Uncle Johnny, who loved to drive in the parade every year. I even got a standing ovation when i restarted the stalled Mustang behind me; gotta love Wilmington.
   Saturday night was a little iffy; reflecting on the day's events made me realize how much I missed my Uncle Johnny, but being with my friends Drew and Jason, and spending a few hours in Newark looking at new cars definitely cheered me up. Of course, it also made me want a new 5.0L Mustang GT.
   And then, as always, we have Sunday. Today was pretty mild weather-wise, so I borrowed the 89 Mustang 5.0L Convertible and just cruised for awhile. I also found out I'm down to 219 lbs, only have 14 more to go before the Army says I'm not fat anymore.
   All in all, it was a good weekend, full of ups and downs, but also full of good times with family, friends, and five-liter Mustangs.

Future Plans

      Have you ever wanted to do something really great with your life? I've been contemplating that a lot lately, and thus I've decided to join the National Guard. I need a way to pay for my own school, and take the burden off of my parents. I also need to get out of Delaware for while; travel somewhere on my own and be independent. That's the biggest reason I'm joining the Guard in Massachusetts.
     I plan on transferring schools this summer, starting next spring semester, and during the in between time, I'll be at BCT, or Basic Combat Training, and AIT, or Advanced Individual Training, learning my Army job. I'll be a stronger person, a more independent person, and a person with a little more money.
      I'm really excited to finally have my life on track, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. One thing's for sure though, I will be buying a new car when  get back with a nice big paycheck.
