Second friend
Ever feel like the second friend. I say I don't have any good friends. And then you say yes you do... You have me. Well why is it no one asks me to do anything? They always say well why don't you ask your friends to hang out. Well I do and a lot of times they are doing other stuff. Yet there is only one person that ever asks me to hang out. So I guess I can honestly say I have one great friend. And that's about it. You know what it feels like to be left out? Well I feel that way right now. Left out.
Sorry that's just how it is.
So it was foretold.

Let me tell you how this works...
You tell me what kind of car you have. Better yet give me your VIN, and the name or general description of the part you want and i'll tell you the price and if I have it or not. Other than that I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to hear your story of how this or that broke or what you agenda is for the day or what time you might or might not be here. I am not a therapist. I do not get paid to sit here and listen to you talk about your problems let alone care how inconvenient it is for you to come pre-order your part or why you don't have your title and you lost your key and you are screwed. I DON'T CARE! I get paid to look up parts. That about sums up my job description.
OK im done...
So it was foretold.

Chris W. Cox from the NRA
Excerpt from: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/11892/
"GLENN: What happens in Chicago now?
COX: There will be a challenge to Chicago, to the suburbs' bans on handguns, there will be challenges all over the country to total bans on firearms and public housing. Poor people deserve a right to self-defense just like rich people, particularly rich people like Barack Obama who have taxpayer-funded security around them but tell the rest of America that when it comes to self-defense, you're out of luck."
Amen!
Supreme Court Strikes Down D.C. Gun Ban, Upholds Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,372041,00.html WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices' first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history. The court's 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia's 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision went further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms laws intact. The court had not conclusively interpreted the Second Amendment since its ratification in 1791. The amendment reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Click here to read the full opinion on the Supreme Court Web Site. The basic issue for the justices was whether the amendment protects an individual's right to own guns no matter what, or whether that right is somehow tied to service in a state militia. Writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said that an individual right to bear arms is supported by "the historical narrative" both before and after the Second Amendment was adopted. The Constitution does not permit "the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home," Scalia said. The court also struck down Washington's requirement that firearms be equipped with trigger locks or kept disassembled, but left intact the licensing of guns. In a dissent he summarized from the bench, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority "would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons." He said such evidence "is nowhere to be found." Justice Stephen Breyer wrote a separate dissent in which he said, "In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas." Joining Scalia were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas. The other dissenters were Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter. Gun rights supporters hailed the decision. "I consider this the opening salvo in a step-by-step process of providing relief for law-abiding Americans everywhere that have been deprived of this freedom," said Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. The NRA will file lawsuits in San Francisco, Chicago and several of its suburbs challenging handgun restrictions there based on Thursday's outcome. The capital's gun law was among the nation's strictest. Dick Anthony Heller, 66, an armed security guard, sued the District after it rejected his application to keep a handgun at his home for protection in the same Capitol Hill neighborhood as the court. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled in Heller's favor and struck down Washington's handgun ban, saying the Constitution guarantees Americans the right to own guns and that a total prohibition on handguns is not compatible with that right. The issue caused a split within the Bush administration. Vice President Dick Cheney supported the appeals court ruling, but others in the administration feared it could lead to the undoing of other gun regulations, including a federal law restricting sales of machine guns. Other laws keep felons from buying guns and provide for an instant background check. Scalia said nothing in Thursday's ruling should "cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons or the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings." In a concluding paragraph to the his 64-page opinion, Scalia said the justices in the majority "are aware of the problem of handgun violence in this country" and believe the Constitution "leaves the District of Columbia a variety of tools for combating that problem, including some measures regulating handguns." The law adopted by Washington's city council in 1976 bars residents from owning handguns unless they had one before the law took effect. Shotguns and rifles may be kept in homes, if they are registered, kept unloaded and either disassembled or equipped with trigger locks. Opponents of the law have said it prevents residents from defending themselves. The Washington government says no one would be prosecuted for a gun law violation in cases of self-defense.

Fix you
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Stress in a box
I just don't get it. Everyone expects so much out of me. They want me to comment that. Be happy about this. Love this. Allow that. Do this. Say that. I am tired. And then when I say or do what I want everyone is disappointed. I'm being selfish. I am not thinking of anyone else. Well can't I think about me? LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES!!!!
Its not far. Why can't people just let me be and take me for who or what I am and quit trying to get so much out of me.
This post is not directed to one or two people. I have felt this way for the last two weeks. Everyone is wanting this and that and whatnot from me. Im tired. I just can't deal with it anymore and keep my sanity. Quit asking for so much. Please!!! Just be happy with what I can give.
Im about to the last of my sanity.
Back to working on getting my computer running.
So it was fortold...

Todays trip to Mena
Here is what one of their complete motors look like that are all chromed at the shop. A lot of the engine components are made by hand there. They do all their own body work and manufacturing. They only thing they buy are the engine blocks. And Some of the Engine's come with stuff that they remove and chrome and also add some of their own creations onto it.
Here is a picture of a 69 Camero that they have striped down and are restoring.
The pictures to the left are from the restraunt I ate at. I had fried catfish. And it was GOOD!
All in all in was a fun trip and a
nice break from my usual daily grind. Southern Arkansas is really beautiful up in the mountains and around the area I was at. I wish I could have stopped and made more pictures. Deffinately a place id like to go back just to stop here and there to look at some stuff. There were some pretty backwoods looking stuff too though. I saw a General Store that looked like a log cabin that probably was 100 years old. And a few
places I wouldn't have stopped just because oh... lets say... have you seen the move deliverance? Or wrong Turn? You catch my drift. Well it was a good day.
Still in Mena
guts down in southern Arkansas.
At destination
This place is a whole lot bigger than it looks. There are 4 large buildings behind this one.
