Who Knew Cars Were this expensive!

     When I was younger I didn't understand how to really take care of a car. I just thought you just had to put gas in it. Now I know that there are spark plugs that might need to be changed (about $30), your spark plug wires need to be changed (about $40), your tires wear out and you have to get new ones eventually (maybe about $300), Oil needs to be changed ($30), You have to buy various fluids, and on top of all that, you have to buy your registration and inspection stickers...(about $130)

I actually almost tore my car up one time. I was driving it with no transmission fluid in it. I had just got it and about a month later my dad was like, ay check those fluids.. Now here I am thinking everything was fine since I just really got the car. However that was not the case.. there was no transmission fluid on the dipstick at all. I was shocked... I was like really!!?. I learned something that day. Gotta check your fluid levels..

Now on to my tires.. I knew tires could wear out but I did not know that the thread could be shown.. I rolled my tire so far down that my freaking needles were showing. I was afraid to drive the car after that. Had to go get that tire replaced immediately. that's about 70 bucks right there.

Well I am very glad that I know now how to keep my car in good shape. I know how to change my spark plugs, wires, and oil... I must say it feels good to know how to do that stuff.. and not overpay a mechanic to do simple tasks like these..

Career Paths

By the time you're a senior in High School I heard that you are suppose to know what kind of career path you want to take.. Well here I am in 2013 still don't know what to do. I'm one of those people who needs to experience the job or career to figure out if I want to do it. I believe there should be some kind of job share program where the person just tries the job out for a day to see how it is.. You know.. go there and see what you really have to do, and not those over explained job summaries they give when you are applying for the job.

I am currently going to school for computer programming. I know I am very interested in technology. I like going to frys and looking at the computers, tablets, cameras, televisions, mp3 players etc.. always curious of what will they come up with next.. Getting back to my point... How do I know if I'm making the right choice. I don't want to spend all of this precious time and money going to college and the end result be me in a career of boredom and me wanting to kill myself of how much I hate my life over a decision I made...

Well I hope that I made the right decision. hopefully I won't be doomed.

Adult Skateboarder

                   Skateboarding is one of my new found favorite hobbies.. But it seems like the older I get the less time I have to do it.. I mean with a job and a girlfriend time has been kinda cut.. I always think about when I have kids how I am gonna only skate every blue moon.. I really enjoy skateboarding. It is a sense of rush and excitement that also helps me release stress..

There are some benefits though.. like you have a car to go to different skatespots and parks.. no more waiting on mommy and daddy. just go when you feel.. Also you can leave on your own time and go eat at your choosing.. I don't think I'll ever stop skateboarding.. #always progressing

well unless my legs fall off..
