2005 Dodge Neon SXT

Here's the pics of my new car. The insides are a charcoal, almost black and the outside is 'electric blue'.

I'm a PASS

Took the driving test today. I was nervous as hell. I'm not gonna lie. But the lady that sat with me was nice. I messed up a bit on the parking. I parked in between the cars, but I was crooked. I forgot about turning your wheels when parking on a hill. A few times I forgot to sigal (like during my 3 point turn) and didn't signal at the end when I pulled in a parking space. I also missed one stop sign. Well, I stoped, but a bit past it.

Overall, she says I need more experience. I've been driving on and off for a year, and I agree with her. I think my mistakes however, can be put down to nervousness. I was so worried about missing things, that I missed things. Some of you may understand that, others may not.

Tomorrow is my mid term exam for Statistics, and Thursday I start Biology and English Composition 2. I'm gonna make a run out to Publix, Walmart, and Petsmart tomorrow to see if they have any openings. I know once you fill out the online app. you are supposed to wait to be contacted, but that's stupid. I refuse to be lost in some database out there. I need a job too badly. I cant just sit back and hope something will drop in my lap. I'm going to find a job. I have to.

Also, we're going to Mr. Repo on Saturday to look for a suitable Dodge Neon SXT. I hope I cant find one that both dad and I like. I'm pretty easy to please, but dad is a lot harder. He looks at things like the mileage, and tires, yada yada yada. I know its important, but I'm starting not to care. I just want a car, and frankly, I'm sick of waiting. Anyway...

I'm going to have to go study in a few minutes. Pup is fine. He took a trip to the doggy bathroom again today so he must be drinking something. Anyway, he's a pretty good dog, very friendly. If I had the time and money I'd try and fix him up well enough to sell him, but I don't. Hopefully we can find a good home and we don't have to put him down. If the neighbor wont, and the Humane Society wont I'll have dad take hime to the pound and let them do it, cause I know deep down, he really doesn't want to have to do it himself.

Anyway, off to study before we go out for dinner.

Its a Doggie World Out There

Stepmom brought home a dog the other day. A beautiful border collie/australian shepherd mix. He's got white blue eyes and is almost completely deaf.

We believe he was abused due to the way he acts around us. He'll only eat when hand fed or when he's not being watched. So far we have not seen him drink in 2 days, but he is urinating, which is a good sign.

Anyway, we're hoping to give him to a neighbor, or if not take him down to a humane society near us that does not "put animals down".

I believe he's been on his own for at least a year. He had horrible mange and fleas, but we bathed him and put some medication on him so he should be alright.

Might go to get my license tomorrow and hopefully a car soon.

Ta for now. I'll update more on the dog's condition later.

More Tutorials

So I'm addicted to playing with my tablet. Who cares?! Its fun! Anyway, here's my latest shot at doing eyes with Paint Shop Pro 9 and a GIGANTIC tablet.

Wolf's Eye

Paint Shop Can Do It Too!!!!!!

So I happened to remember a certain photoshop tutorial on planets and decided to give it a try with my new tablet. It wasn't long before I discovered that there are a lot of things photoshop can do that Paint Shop Pro 9 can't. But that's okay. I still love my program and after laboring for several hours I finally finished. So I didn't get to take the short cuts that photoshop offers. That's okay, mine's still better. :)

My Planet

The bigger version looks better, but its like 2000x2000 and poor little blogspot can't really handle that, so I uploaded a small version that it can handle. Anyway, if you wanna see the bigger and better version, just drop me an email. Or better yet, post a comment! :D

well well well...things are heating up

Incase you haven't heard, there is a huge confederate flag set to go up in Tampa, FL.

And who else would be a co-conspirator other than the dutiful father?

You can see his interview with ABC news here: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=4978568&page=1

I will say a few things on it. There has been a lot of controversy about it being a racist symbol. Personally I do no think it is, or that it is intended to be racist. If we can honor americans dead in the vietnam war, a war dispised by half the country, then why can we Not honor the confederate dead? Honoring your ancestors is not racism. If that were the case then whites would not be able to honor any dead and only minorities could have war memorials.

I say leave 'em the hell alone. We got tons of lawyers jumping on us to take the case anyway.

And besides, do your history work (although most of it is biased). The Civil War was 1)not a civil war, the confederates had all ready left the union and 2)it wasn't about slavery, it was about rights. Otherwise, how the hell can you explain the sheer amount of blacks that fought for confederates.

Show me a handful of blacks who detest the flag, and I'll show you 20 more handfuls of those who love it.



In other news, we're going to go look at a car tonight. I might get to test drive it this weekend, but I'm trying not to rush things. I had to sell some shares or whatever, so it'll still be awhile before I get the money.

Its a nice car though. A 2005 Dodge Neon SXT Sedan. Only 63 hundred. But dad wants lower, so I'm not really sure what we're gonna do.

All packed up for Auburn. One of my movies was missing, Princess Mononoke. Dad got it through Amazon for me. He also got me 12 ink cartrages (no, I can't spell to save my life), a wi-fi thing for the house and a 9x12 tablet. I knew I'd win him over, eventually.

Well, that's all for now. Hope everything is going well for people. Catch you later.
