My thoughts, not yours. My Life, Art, Cars, Music, etc.
Not the color but the environmental keyword. 350whp (about 400 at the crank) and 300 ft/lbs of torque powered by corn scraps. E85 in the house. Tons of power and environmental respect all in one tiny little car.
Busy busy busy.
About time this country wakes up …
I am, all of a sudden, so happy and proud to be part of a country that can get this close to electing a brilliant, straight talking black man for president. This is a HUGE moment in not just ours but in world history. Make no mistake, nothing like this has happened before, this guy has no history, no financial empire to protect, no oil interests, no major political backing, and he has no political “agendas” for being president other than his interest in making this a safer, better country with a better democratic and financial system.

Fucking incredible days we are living in. The beginning of end of the era of the war economy (god I hope so)? If nothing else its the end of 20 years of clinton/bush rule.
Last weekend I got to go back to Carpinteria (my high school town) in SoCal and visit with all of my best friends from High School. Everyone showed up for Jaimes wedding and reception at his parents house (same house from high school). It was an incredible experience and better than any reunion that shitty high school will ever hold. Too see everyone in one place, especially a place we have all been before was beyond words. Some of these people I hadn’t seen in 18 years.

Holy shit — check it…
I just couldn’t resist the urge… oh, and I fucking love it.
Volunteering is always a good thing, Habitat for Humanity makes it fun and rewarding.
CorSport (my company) helped build 4 condos on a group volunteer day this last Saturday, anyone reading this should really try it some time.
Ask anyone who knows me, I am NOT a religious person, or even close. In my opinion, Habitats reputation as a christian organization gives them no justice in the minds of those that may oppose them due to their religious origins. Honestly folks, they simply dont push it and barely mention it, they dont make you pray before you build, nothing. It seems to me that outside of churches not many people volunteer anywhere, so I see this as a means to an ends for them.
I for one will be back yet again for more.
Friday I got to see NOFX at the Fillmore (very large venue for them), always a great show, this was no exception. The sold out crowd was a much older group, probably 25-40 and older, too funny, Fat Mike even pointed it out… and for a punk show thats an old crowd in an age of ‘tween punkers.
If you haven’t seen the 11th Hour you absolutely have to check it out. Incredibly moving and motivating.
