Bit of luck

Published by Elemak under Random

In general I do not have very good luck, but yesterday I had some. I got a call from Downtown Nissan telling me that I needed to come back in and sign some more paper work. The interest rate they had given me was wrong. My rate was changed from 2.9% to 0.07%. Over the full life of my loan I will be pay less than $12 in interest.

Who knows

Published by Elemak under Photo, Random

No telling what you might get in this post. I don’t have anything to really talk about so it is going to be a bunch of random crap.

Oh so this picture was taken in Kentucky when I went to Kelly’s wedding with Leah and Mandy. Most of the time I don’t do a whole lot of post processing, but on this one I did a lot more than normal and I love how it turned out.

Why is it then we you get something new, a car for example, everyone feels the need to point out every little scratch that it has. It is a car they do not stay perfect people. I know this, you know they, help me out and don’t go out of your way to point out things for me.

Speaking of cars, I got a free trial of XM with my purchase and I am really enjoying it. I thought I would not care, but it has been all I have listened to since I had it activated. I am not sure that I love it enough to pay for it after my 3 month trial is over, but we will see.

Is it the weekend yet?

Great Friends

Published by Elemak under Photo, Random, Weekend

As you all know I went back to east this weekend for the collective birthday thing. I would just like to thank all my friends who came. It meant to much that you all would put in all that effort for me. So huge thanks to Leah, Mandy, Dusty, Donna, and my little Sidda. Donna and Sidda where a surprise from Leah and Mandy. Sidda being there has to be one of the best surprises that I have ever gotten. It took her a couple of minutes to decide that I was who she thought I was, but after that we had a great time. So again than you so much for being there for me.

Have you ever had anything that you read, but know you should not because it hurts every time you do? You just can’t help it because you want to know how the person is doing, but ever time you do read it cuts you to the core. I have that problem.

The summer of weddings continues, I have another on the 7th of July.

I think they are going to put my spoiler on my car this week. They called me Friday, but they are still trying to work something out so that I will have something to drive, or have someone take me to and from work.

Speaking of car stuff, seem like Downtown Nissan called my insurance company and tried to add my new car. The dealer can do that, so the lady left the nasty little message for me. The wonderful thing about all this is that I have switched all my insurance to Allstate so I was able to call this rude lady back and tell her that I did not need her crap. Now that the truck is safely in Mom’s possession I am going to call tomorrow and cancel all my stuff with the rude people. I can’t wait. I don’t care if I had tried to get the deal to do the insurance stuff for me you don’t call and be rude with me. Screw that, to many other people who would like my money for me to put up with crap like that. My new guy is GREAT. He wants me to come by his office just to meet me even though all my stuff is already setup and does not have to see me. I think that is wonderful.

As Requested

Here is a picture of the new care. They owe me a spoiler.

Thanks for all the happy birthdays.

Never thought I would be where I am in life when I turned 26. Things are so far from what I wanted them to be.

Car Hunt

Published by Elemak under Random

I spend most of last night on the phone with all the Nissan dealerships around the Nashville area, OK really just two of them, but that is only because the others did not answer or the person I was looking for had already gone home. I even called the Nissan dealership in Cookeville.

They guy I talked to in the Burrow was bad. I told him what I was looking for and he said had want I wanted and would call me back. Turns out he was wrong, but he thought he had something else and was going to call me back. He was wrong again. Instead of asking me if I wanted him to try and locate me one or order one for me he just say ok bye. What is up with that?

Ok I will speed this up and just say they say they have what I want at Downtown Nissan so I am going downtown today after work and see if they are telling the truth or not. If they are then I guess I will have to start the negotiation stuff that I hate so much. Wish me luck!

Long Week

Published by Elemak under Blog, Health, Random

Is it just me or has this been one long week?  I don’t really know why, but it seems like it has taken forever.  I hate when that happens.  Tomorrow is Friday and I can’t wait for work to be over.  I am just sick of this week.  I know Friday I am going to dinner with a bunch of people, but past that I have no idea what I am doing.  Hopefully something fun will come up.

I went to the gym today.  It was the first time in I don’t know how long.  It is crazy how out of shape I have become.  I am going to try and start going more.  If I am going to run in the 5k in October I am going to have to do something.  Speaking of gym and health and all that stuff, I have lost 30 lbs since Decemberish.  I hope I don’t screw it up by talking about it.  Like I said not been going to the gym.  All I did was start eating less that I did before.  I did really good for a really long time, but I am stuck now.  I do great during the week, but on the weekends not so much.  I would like to lose another 10 or so, but I am not going to be upset if I can just manage to keep my current weight.

I am going to get a new car soon.  I was trying to wait until I had enough money saved up to just buy it, but that is not going to happen.  I would like to have something by the end of the month or the middle of July at the latest.  I am going to get a Nissan Altima.  I am also thinking about switching insurance companies, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Just a little update on the spam situation.  I was right about it being caused by my lack of posting.  Since I started posting again I think I have gotten 10 spam comments at the most.  I guess they target inactive blog or something.  Anyway heres hoping that Friday goes by faster than the rest of the week.

Old lady ebay

Published by Elemak under Random

Last night I had a dream that some old lady stopped me on the street and ask me to take the packages she had to the post office for her. She said she had just sold a bunch of stuff on ebay. I take the stuff and walk to the post office, and wait in line for what seems like hours.

I finally get up to the counter and it turns out the lady did not fill out all the stuff she needed. The postman handed me a stack of paper work and told me to get in the back of the line. At that point I woke up. Ok that was a very boring dream and I have not idea why I shared it other than the fact that I almost never remember them.

Also cookout at the Grandparents on the 23rd for anyone who is interested. Just let me know if you are coming.

Yes those are my feet

Published by Elemak under Photo, Random, Weekend


I put up 4 photos from this weekend on flickr. We were at Center Hill Lake. It was good to get away for a little while and try and forget some of the stuff going on in my life right now.

So the picture is from Saturday night when the sun was setting over Center Hill Dam. I had a couple more shots of it that I really liked, but thought it would get old with basically the same picture minus the feet or plus a dog.

Had a really good time and managed to forget everything a couple of time. Mostly when riding the jet ski and when I was “trying” to wake board. Speaking of trying to wake board, I suck at it. I could not get up to save my life, but at least I tried. That is a huge thing for me for those of you who have not ever experienced my adventurous spirt in person.

I bought Sidda a life jacket so I am hoping she will get to come at some point this summer.

I’m not all right

Published by Elemak under Random

I would post the song, but I believe that I have before. Faith no longer wants me. Just thought you all would like to know. I am going to try my best to not use this thing as therapy, but I thought I should tell everyone. No one be mean she is not happy so maybe she will be now.
