El Jefe, I was thinking about you

maybe you didn't get hired because of the state of the economy and oil prices. As I said, experience can always be taught, so maybe picking someone new up doesn't concern the company. What does though is them having to pay you 20k more than that chick who is fresh out of school.

The fucked up thing is- do you go on saying you have experience, or go on pretending you don't? Either way, I think you need to pack your bags and move to a bigger city. It's nice staying home, but it's also nice to move somewhere new and take up the challenge of being outside your comfort zone. As Cujo said it in the past- broaden your experience and your horizons.

Its a matter of time before you do find something... But you can speed up the process by leaving eastern Canada. Personally, I'd be looking to get the fuck out of Canada- I love this place but if I was struggling to find a career job, shiiiiet... Go where the jobs are. Alberta is hurting right now and so is Saskatchewan, in terms of oil (along with everyone else). But Saskatchewan sucks balls because it's in the middle of nowhere, with fuck all to do. Alberta is better, but not hugely. If anything, Calgary would be the place to be, but they're hurting way more than Edmonton. Lots of white collar people have lost their jobs. I've also heard time and again that calgarians, in general, are assholes compared to edmontonians. I've had limited experience with a few friends being from Calgary, while in university together. They really were assholes you know it's bad when I'm the one questioning their behaviour

so then texas? Fuck, Texas would be badass to live in. How about the Middle East? There are North American companies operating over there. Even their own companies are pretty golden (from what I've heard). You make a killing in terms of salary, pay no taxes (if you stay there) and get a wicked culture shock. I'm not talking about the trouble areas, but anywhere UAE. Many US/Can folk go there to work. A friend of mine is a teacher there, teaching the ALBERTA school curriculum to ALBERTA students... Parents work overseas, kids come with them... Still get the same education they'd get here.

Fuck working at Honda for $15/Hr. Someone recently told me "you can't make a fortune with a minimum wage mentality". Shiiiet... They're right.

Seriously, how can I be expected to be able to bathe a child, if I find it hard enough to find time to shower my wheels...



I'm surprised Wifey was okay with this... maybe because it's the guest bathroom, I dunno. Didn't want to ask.

Wheels were grimy as fuck though. Each one had a metric fuck ton of road tar too... had to do it. It's too cold to do it outside...

That's why it's important to be efficient at getting things done. When they're out of the house for an hour or so, it's time to do all the questionable things.

Yeah, off my TL.

Enkei GTC-01 wheels. Bridgestone RE-11A tires.

I've posted a random shot, here and there. I don't think I've ever shown the whole car. It's nothing that special to be honest. Needs Moar low (I'm on A-spec struts and H&R Springs.) More function over form stance.

Sounds like I'm not the only one who does shit like this. Whew. Thanks guys!

My car wash process.

Hard ass northern Cali water
Pine sol
One bucket
Dish rags
Bath towels to dry...

Sometimes I use cum as lube for the clay bar, IF I'm feeling adventurous.

The only thing j would change is to make sure those dish rags are not only well used but have been dropped on the floor multiple times. It cleans better for the future

Awww noted. Today I just grabbed one from the sink area.

I thought about using a microfiber to dry my car today. But I said, forget that, I use these to buff my countertops..

You know house = investment

Car = money pit

For best results, drag the cloth across a gravel surface before using on a painted surface. It'll increase the shine of the clear coat.

Come on Taco, we all know the best way to make your car shine is to pour gasoline or paint thinner (you know, to make is smoother) on it, let it sit for a couple
hours and then get plug in power drill with a 80 grit sanding attachment. Make sure to go as fast as the drill will go for best results, if the car goes on fire in the process it is all part of the glazing process.

Went down memory lane.. which is a funny idiom since to go down memory lane I was looking at files in an old hard drive.. [derp]
Anyways.. found some vids of my old dojang. One vid was a black belt test.
To get your black belt, the last test you must endure is fighting 3 guys at once () for at least 3 minutes () [read: beat off 3 guys in 3 minutes]

It's always brutal because the 3 guys are sr. black belts who only want to kick you unconscious or beat you so bad you have to go to the hospital after.
If you die / go unconscious / can't get up.. no black belt (which is brutal because the first part of the test is super challenging alone).
I saw one of our guys go through this 3 times.. 1st time unconscious, broken jaw, 2nd time broken arm, 3rd time they toned it down, bc felt bad (pobrecito)

One abroham wasn't well liked there for many reasons. I personally didn't like him because he tried to break by vato's leg on his first day.

This is just a few seconds of the test.. had his ass beat up and down () off and on for 10 minutes (most of the time him rolling on the ground in agony.. #pussy)
[insert charlie murphy clip: Wow man, Rick really needs help... Yo, we just gave him some help!.mp4]

He was able to walk and hug it out after, nothing broken.
[insert charlie murphy clip2: I betcha he won't come over here and disrespect like that again. WRONG! WRONG!.mp4]

He healed up and came back about a month after. Didn't stay too long though, many just want the belt and run away. Others stay to give what they got.
Also, that chest protector only protects the persons foot who's kicking. lol. We'd do hogu drills wearing two of them.. fucking huge bruise across the chest.
..double hogu days.. #muhtriggers

Dem kids watching a beatdown.. hide their eyes!
Nah.. those kids got their asses kicked too.. by their peers at least.
There was a father at the other end who was super hyped up.. like wanting to step in and throw down.
Not sure if he felt like it was too much or what, but he kept his cool, pussy.

The shorter black belt kicks like a fucking truck.. literally.
We measured his roundhouse at 1 ton of pressure /in2.

I heard you can even use brake cleaner to white teeth. But the one place you should never use brake cleaner is on brakes. It's a trap. I read it on the googlez so it must be true.
