Where ya been?

Well to tell the truth... nowhere.
Still here just haven't been writing about anything as late. Just been working and continuing the gym and all that jazz. Not to mention playing World Of Warcraft just as much if not more than before, but that's ok because I offset it with the gym! I purchased Creatine two days ago and started that and I'm not gonna lie I've already started seeing HUGE results, so I'm excited to see what this is going to do!

Now I'm just listening to my iPod on shuffle and about to run back upstairs and play some more WoW before making a quick lunch.

My car is in the garage and I wasn't sure how I was going to pay for it and all, but my parents are going to waive the repair fees for part of my xmas gift because I would have to wait until February to be able to finally afford it... so I hope to get it on the road soon. The mechanic said it should be done today or tomorrow, getting all the shit done to it. And I know for sure I'll have the car back on the road by NEXT Friday the latest - when I can pay the taxes owned on it to register the car.

But hey! Next Friday sounds a lot better than February.

We haven't been getting lots of snow which is good, we had two days where we had some and it stayed but then it went up to like 7c and then most of it melted, so it's been all over the place lately... but I don't have winter tires on my car so hopefully it doesn't get bad ha ha ha.

Anyways I'l keep you posted with what's happening with the car and such, and roam around the blogs and throw down some comments on some friends' blogs and such.

Be well and take care!

Ok so it hasn't been awfully bad not having a car... I mean sure I have less social life and don't really have the ability to something as simple as go to the convenience store without asking. But I've been able to keep up with the gym, but I still feel bad asking my parents for their car and such, but I've been making sure to show them that I am so grateful and I haven't had any run-ins yet so that's good.

--- It's bound to happen though... the run-ins, that is. I just got to catch one of my parents on a bad day and boom, they'll lose it on me, it's just how it always goes. I've been working a lot more than usual so hopefully I can get over this hump and pay back my shit ASAP.!

For my holiday gift, I told my parents I want a MVI (Motor Vehicle Inspection) and possibly some emergency brakes... or maybe some Car Tax?... let's see what they decide to do, hopefully one of those so that I can get my car back on the road. Also need to look into why I can't drive past 12am, because of some stupid graduate program for licenses here in Nova Scotia.

Haven't been blogging a lot lately, which I admit has been selfish because I know you want to read about my life so bad :P But I've been playing WoW pretty avidly when I have the time and whenever I can take a few hours and sit on my mothers desktop, because my laptop won't support it. My character is a level 23 Night Elf Druid now, and I just love cat form because its so sleek!

Anyways I must get ready for work now, and try to figure out if my parents are driving me or if I am taking the Passat or not, I'm not sure... it'll be better too once my brothers get their car back on the road too, because they can drive me places as well. Something about the Alternator going in their car and having to pay 350$ to replace it... but that's being fixed today apparently. And ugh, I work 1pm to 9pm, but it's good hours so whatever!

Ok so what I am absolutely obsessed with this video game already and I've only been playing just over a week... but that's OK because when I purchased the software yesterday (With the help of Eric!! <3) the lady said that she knows this one guy and he's 60 and absolutely obsessed with the game... so I'm not 60 so it's OK. Gives me something to do now that my car is being put up while I save up enough money to pay all the shit (Tax, MVI, emergency brake repair.)

Also I am really loving the song by Beyonce: Sweet Dream, and really getting into the new Lady Gaga song.. I know it's a tad embarrassing but I don't even care anymore lol, I'm a total fruit -- live with it!

Fml.

So today I lose my car - the 30 day permit as well as the MVI (Motor Vehicle Inspection) is up and so I can't drive the car after today... until I get the money to pay the taxes and the registration, etc. Which I won't have for a while just because I've been getting shitty ass hours at Staples. It really sucks. Back again to no freedom, and full dependence on my parents. Gonna hate my life for the next few weeks until I'm able to pay off all this shit.

Plus my insurance is coming out today which they fucked up, and I get charged 184$ instead of the MAXIMUM 105$ I was quoted with... so needless to say - I . Am. Broke. Apparently they'll credit me the difference on next months payment which will come in useful so that the next 2 paychecks can go strictly towards getting my car back on the road.

Tea and Toast

---

So I started my day off with some tea and toast, and now I'm just waiting for the energy to kick in so I can run off to the gym and get the gears moving. Today is Tuesday and one day closer to the end of my freedom, AGAIN, for a while... not too excited. Hopefully I get my GST Check in the mail someday soon so I can put some gas in the car and keep the rest to be put towards my insurance payment - YIKES!

Not sure what I'm going to do today other than hit the gym and play some WoW (Which might I add has been down ALL morning, which was the set aside time I had to play it specifically, when my time on my mother's computer is inhibited!) and relax... and stay out of the general public. I decided I didn't want to go out and hang with anyone last night and just stayed in and went to bed a little earlier than normal. I've started this weird obsession where if I feel my body is getting too cold, or if I don't wash my hands enough, or if I touch certain things or fail to eat certain things I will increase my chances of getting the flu/h1n1 and so I'm noticing I'm becoming very very obsessive about these little nit-picky things... just what I need, more things to obsess over.

Well anyways I am almost finished my tea and I'm beginning to feel the energy rush through my body, which means it's about time I begin to get ready for the gym and get this poor frail body in shape!

Somebody mentioned progress pictures... which I'm half tempted to do, but also kind of embarrassed at the same time. So I will think about it a bit harder and see whether I can reach a decision haha.

Ps. I need to find a different font for this blog because I'm really not digging the one set here right now so I'll work on that before I go to the gym (Notice the stalling... *sigh*).
Pps. Totally changed the coloring and the text style/size so it's a little more aesthetic.

Updates 2.0

Been working minimal hours lately at the one job and it's becoming really frustrating... I'm not even sure if I'll get enough to pay for my insurance payment next week. Not to mention the fact that I don't have the money for the taxes that are due, the MVI inspection, the emergency brake cable to be fixed and for gas... so needless to say my car is going to be sitting on the parking lot for at least 2 weeks... BACK to square one.

Well at least I have a car, and something to show for my money, just totally sucks that's all.

Omg!

Omg it's almost Halloween! What a special day of the year for me and I am not even sure what I want to do yet! (Oh yeah and today is Thanksgiving but whatever, that's a stupid holiday anyways, other than giving me a free day off this week!)

I have yet to carve the two pumpkins I bought, so maybe I will do that tonight since I feel a little bit better, but I don't know...
Definitely enjoy driving my car around everywhere and I think tomorrow I'm going to Halifax with one of my friends from Staples, so that'll be nice. I'm totally going there just for Starbucks which is totally loser-ish of me... but I've been craving Starbucks for weeks now! Oh well.

Updates!

Omg where have I been?? I've become a blog-slacker!

Ok so I finally got the car that I had wanted, and it's absolutely amazing. Last night drove with my friends Jeannie, Melissa and Nick to Antogonish, NS for some McDonalds at like 930pm, drove there and back and drove everyone home, just in time for my 12am driving curfew! (I KNOW it's ridiculous, damn government!)

Here's a picture of my baby.


Cute huh? Yeah I know there's a lot of thing I definitely have to work on and here's the list:
Better Exhaust
Lowered 1.5-2.0"
Better Rims
Tint Windows
HID / Angel Halo Headlamps
LED Tail lights

It's not a HUGE list, but I mean it's definitely going to take some time, and I can't do alot right now because the winter is coming and I don't want to A. Get stuck in snow, or B. Destroy my rims, so I think mostly I will get the windows tinted and better headlamps for the winter! Going to Canadian Tire tomorrow afternoon to check out some prices.

Anyways that's what's new, working a lot lately and not having much time for anything. Plus being sick all I've wanted to do was sleep.

So I'm definitely very antsy about Friday coming and such and getting the car... and to make matters worst I work 12pm-8pm Friday during the day so the day is just going to drag by I bet. Not to mention I'm getting sick too so it's just gonna be a long ass two days until I finally get my baby in the drive way!

Car Hunting Updates!

So we went and looked at a 1999.5 (The in between model) VW GTI and I fucking loved it. The price is a lot more steep than I had normally been looking for, but the car is in GREAT condition, looks SO hot and is totally the car I want.

You can do a lot of mods to this particular model. I'm very excited about this.

It's silver, got power everything, moonroof, MANUAL <3 It has a 6CD Change but I don't really prefer but whatever not a big deal. Won't be until late next week before I can afford to put it on the road though because the price of the car kind of put me in the whole but I'm sure I can muster up 500$ somewhere *pukes* I have some pictures I stole from the Kijiji website but I'll have better ones up once I get it washed and cleaned and such!

I can't wait to get to work some shit into this thing, like new rims, tinted windows, etc, maybe a new exhaust tip and some engine mods to tweak the engine! My brothers already have a bunch of shit they want to do to it personally.

I'm really excited/nervous!

But here she is!..

So I am just up, getting ready right now to go look at Jeannie's car and see what her Dad can do for me price wise. Hopefully not too much needs to get done to it because I really want that car, or just any car in general!

Shower time!

*EDIT* Apparently the water is brown?? So no shower this morning maybe a little later, hopefully before work or I'll be very very cranky at work!!

Updates.

Today I'm very annoyed. Listening to Yeasayer so that's helping I guess, and waiting to hear from my friend about her car that I might potentially buy, should everything piece together right.

Did my laundry, vacuumed, cleaned my room a bit and now just waiting to go to work for 5pm. I can't wait to get a car so I can just go into the city and meet some people and just have some fun for a change. I think I deserve that by now.

I think once I get my car paid for and such I'm hoping by next week to have enough money to buy a Desktop, which I'll need help purchasing... I know quite a bit about computers and such right now but I know I always want 2nd, and 3rd opinions on what's the best deal because I definitely am buying a new desktop for the sole reason of playing WoW which is kind of nerdy but whatever.

Ps. Once I get a car I am totally joining the nearest gym and getting buff, I'm sick of being pudgy (Well not really pudgy or anything, just not in shape anymore and it's depressing).

I wanna get ripped!

Hey bill
i was there earlier looking at the nissan with my family and we talked it over and if you were willing to accept 1100$ for it I'd definitely be interesting in buying it within the next few days.

If this sounds reasonable to you let me know and we'll swing by for another look and finalize the arrangements,

Thank you,
Zach

Hello Zach

Thanks for getting back to me. I had a lady by this afternoon looking at the car and she is very interested in buying the car if I still have it tomorrow. I told her I need to get $1300.00, so I would have to decline your offer of $1100.00. Thanks Bill

Ok, thanks for the reply. If you or her change your minds let me know, I'd be willing to go as high as $1200 but I can't afford $1300, so just keep me posted.

Thanks,
Zach.


No reply yet... so we'll see what happened there. Kind of depressing I must add, because I convinced myself into really wanting that car, sure its nothing spectacular to look at, but whatever it'd get me around... and that's what I need most right now.

*Sigh*

I don't know why I did this... I don't know why I moved back home.
Nothing has changed in my family, only things have gotten worst and more confusing as days go by.

But hey I have more money now? Hoping for a super cheap car by next week maybe the next 2 weeks if I want to save for something a little better... I don't know I just can't deal with alot of things right now.

Maybe I'll take the 1500$ and fly back to Windsor.

... Fuck it maybe I'll take the money and fly to England and start over everything new.

An Update

So far I've saved 0$ for my car... it's kind of frustrating actually because I really need that car, but shit just keeps coming up that I need to pay for, mostly my cell phone.

In the last two weeks I've paid a total of 320$ towards my fucking cellphone, which isn't a fun thing to have to do.
But I just need that phone, and it was a buildup of 2 months of not paying plus fees and all that bullshit, but it's just fucking frustrating.

I need a car, ASAP.
Fml.

Insurance

Yeah well apparently getting my own insurance under my own name is reasonable but getting insurance for my parents car under their name isn't so reasonable lol.
For me to insure my own car under my own insurance I'd spend about 1200$ a year, which is VERY reasonable considering all the speeding tickets and traffic violations I have.

For my parents 2008 Passat if my parents put me as an occasional driver under their car it would increase their insurance by 2200$ a year. JUST for me. So needless to say I will not be driving the Passat anymore =[

And I loved that car too. Ugh.

Oh well, anyways just a few more steps closer to getting my own car, not it's just the saving process to make sure I have enough money to pay for it... not sure how long that's going to take but I'm going to try to work as much as I can and spend as little as I can lol.

Car: It's in the works baby!

So it's officially in the works. I am going to be getting a new car I just need to save 1200$ which shouldn't take much time, maybe a max of 2 weeks?

I decided I'm going to just get a super cheap older car (Probably this 1997 VW Golf 1.8L) I've been eyeing out.

I really want to get one and then just pimp the shit out of it, to tell the truth! And I really need a car to get to both my work places, so my parents can stop complaining about driving me everywhere!
