New Love
June 20th, 2006walked away,
heard them say,
poison hearts will never change
walk away again
turned away in disgrace
felt the chill upon my face
cooling from within
hard to notice
gleaming from the sky
when you’re staring at the cracks
hard to notice
what is passing by
with eyes low…
walked away
heard them say
poison hearts will never change
walk away again
all the cracks they lead right to me
and all the cracks will crawl right through me
and they’ll part
As I walk away again
I’ll explain the lyrics later in this entry.
You all know I changed jobs a short time ago… But I have to say, I’m loving it. We are very busy right now which means lots of money, and it’s only going to get better. We are currently doing a big job on a 1974 Ford Bronco where we are repairing some frame rot, replacing the floor of the rear section, and doing some body work to the rocker panels under the doors. After that job is complete we have a CJ-7 to do a quick transmission/transfercase installation on, then a YJ to finish some suspension work on.. After that it gets good. There is a huge job with an old CJ-5 which will get some huge Rockwell axles, a 4-link suspension, some possible cage work, bumper work, and skid plate for the under-side. This build will probably take a month to complete due to the complexity of all the components. I will start a new category for my blog so I can put pictures and info on here for those who are interested to read.
Click the link to read more… I have much more to say.
I said a while back in a post called My Own Revelation that I would not be happy in a regular business job that meant I would be working in a field that would not bring in any money. Well, I have quickly realized with my new job that it is not so. With the growth of the sport of rock crawling there is a huge boom in the offroad industry. I am certainly in a good position to enter this field and have a successful career. Unfortunately someone took what I said in that post a little to seriously and wrote me off for future relationship purposes. Oh well, I say… If money is more important to them than love and a happy relationship I wish them well in their quest to find enough love in the money to make them happy… I wish you the best. I, on the other hand, will keep on searching for someone who is not a gold-digger, who will enjoy being with me through the good times and the bad on my to the top. I had to leave her behind, hence the lyrics at the top of this post. I WILL have the things I want in life, I WILL have a loving wife and kids, I WILL provide for them the way my parents have provided for my brothers and I, and I WILL NOT be a failure.
I will be returning to school in the fall and hope to get my associates by the end of summer ‘07, or the end of the fall semester ‘07. I will not just be a laborer in the offroad industry, I will be a business owner. I will most likely start a career working for others and prepare to start my own business. I know it may be several years until I am running my own company and comfortable financially, but I will succeed. I have so many ideas for offroad use, and I am more than capable of designing them and producing them.
I am no longer unsure about my success in life… only about how long it will take me, and who will love me enough to venture with me on my journey to a happy life.

Congratulations Scott! Glad to hear something positive come out of your skull. Can you raise my camry and put it on 44″ tires? I think that would be hot hot hot! Also, you might want to fix your link above — I don’t think you meant it to span three paragraphs?
Are you talking about me in that paragraph above? I think so, I’m about the only one who tells you the fucking truth any more, everyone else just thinks it, says shit and never brings it up to you — guess I’m just too blatant to keep it a secret. But I’m glad you’re happy.. I was curious if you were, guess now I know.
Once again, congrats my friend.

If you mean the second paragraph, then no… you know who i’m talking about. I guess I am happy. I no longer blame myself for the relationship failing since I finally found out the truth (1.5 years later). I think that was weighing very heavily on me and bringing my self esteem and confidence down. I’m ready to get back out there and do what I gotta do.

It’s good that you enjoy your job finally. But remember, look for a jeep so I can get a new car. Well actually, I’m not sure if the dogs could fit in a jeep so I may have to look at something else. Anyhow, it feels good to not detest having work the next day, doesn’t it?

Yes it does Nick. Today I worked about 7 hours then when company (our wheeling friends) showed up I sat around, drank some beer, and chatted for a few hours. I get to go with my boss to a rock crawling competition in Rockport, Illinois tomorrow, and I’ll be back on Sunday. I’ll take lots of pictures!

Nice, have fun. I will be in Tulsa hanging out with my ladies who always drool over me (Maggie and Daisy of course). Don’t flip anything or hurt yourself. Talk to you Sunday.
