I got into a huge fight with my mom today, she disagrees with my financial situation, i make 40k a year, i live by myself, i pay her cellphone bill, and i have never asked her for a dime!!

He reason? Because i spend so much money on car parts and only manage to save $200 a month!

I am actually very happy with my lifestyle!!!! This made me want to FREEEEAAAAKKK OOOOUUUTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the best part is she said my sister is more responsible that i am, my sister makes $14k a year, is older than me, and borrows thousands of dollars at a time from my mom :/ :angry::angry::angry: :angry2: :angry2: :angry2: :angry2:

So what made you crazy today?
 
What made me crazy the other day was my air filter. It's one of those AEM Dry Flow filters. I needed to clean it cause it was causing my car to run weird. Do you know how much of a bitch it is to clean one that hasn't been cleaned in 3 years and how frickin long it takes for those bastards to dry in winter? Still after I got it back on, my car was running smooth as could be.

Oh and my my parents have been sick all weekend. My mom can't sleep laying down or else her nose will stop up real bad so the WHOLE time I've been home, she's been sleeping downstairs in the den. Problem? That's where their new 42" Plasma TV is. I wanna watch some HD anime and Top Gear but I can't, or at least not there while she's sick. I gotta go back to my apartment tomorrow. It's not like watching it on my 24" LCD monitor sucks but 42" 720p TV + 720p anime and 720p Top Gear = epicness. The stuff doesn't look quite as nice on my 1080p LCD (the monitor is higher res than the videos) nor near as epic cause of the size.

I love my mom to death but I wish she'd pick somewhere else to sleep for at least one night while I'm here :p Oh well, at least I've made some serious progress on a PS2 game instead (Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana)
 
it was my first day at work today so last night demanded a early night.

What follows is a step by step list of actions which can only be described as the worst nights sleep i ever got

Firstly at 11.45 i left my girlfriends house to go home, my car was completlely frozen no locks would open at all, call the girlfriend to see if i could borrow her kettle; no answer. i tried this for about 30 mins and then gave up. In the end i managed to warm up the lock on my boot enough to open it, so i climbed through the back and started up my engine, 20 mins later the car was warm enough and all the locks were working.

so now its about 12.35ish, still not asleep, i text the girlfriend b4 bed as i usually do; however still not tired at all.

its about 1.00 now; still not tired and my mum and dads CAT starts snoring (thats right... a cat!) he stopped evenutally 20 mins later though!

Next about 2.30 in the morning our street had a powercut; so 2 house alarms decide to go off, on gets switched off straight away, however the other house alarm went off for well over 40 mins.

Then to top it all off the moon seemed perfectly positioned so that every piece of light was shining through my curtains.

All in all i think i got about an hours sleep, and now; as i write this reply, i want to die :D

I had the same thing but with university exams in the morning. I had a girlfriend with the flu coughing and complaining all night in my bed and my flatmate having a rave downstairs, with a bunch of stupid first-years with his music so loud my room was vibrating. I went down at 2AM to tell them to shut the f**k up to find one of his friends had taken out a saucepan and was hitting it with a wooden spoon while jumping on the sofa. At that point, I gave up. You can't argue with thirty drunken morons and an idiot hitting a saucepan with a wooden spoon....
 
Ah too top things off

when i got up my Mum told me about my dads latest annual rant/ male period.

What ever you call it.

Now i dont know whether or not these things should be discussed on here, but i feel quite strongly that you guys will understand where im coming from.

Basically; for reasons unknown to me or my family my Dad has annual out bursts; he claims he's un happy with everything and wants to leave both me my mother and my brother.

Now as for us as a family were pretty close, my Dad shares a big big interest in cars like me and we work on both our cars together.

Now on boxing day, for no reason at all; he openly accused my brother of doing hard drugs. My brother has a past with drugs but moved back in with us 2 months ago and since has been completely clean FACT. now me and my Mum know this simply becuase how he's changed as a person over the last 2 months, he's happier and healthier and slowly on his way to get his life back together. But boxing day for no reason my Dad openly accuses him for no reason; so as you can imagine that caused a bit of up roar.
Later that night he left the house (i imagine to go drinking) only to come back and confess his unhappiness claiming we dont spend enough time together as a family....

Now as i stated above me and my Dad share a common interest in cars, and during the christmas holiday spent hours upon hours doing lil jobs on both our cars, so i feel like i spent alot of time with him.

I even suggested that we all go see Avatar at the cinema as id heard it was great (and my dad loves Camerons films) 'No' he said; why? because apparently he cant stand the cinema cuz of all the noise of other people :(

Anyway cutting the story short he played the same stunt last night apparently when i was out claiming that.

'He cant take the pressure of being a father anymore' and that 'We dont spend enough time together as a family'

Now baring in mind that me and my brother are 21 and 23; i have a full time job and am soon looking to get my own place, all in all im starting to live my own independent life, surely the main 'pressures' so to speak, with being a father come more in the teenage years??
And as for spending more time as a family; he's the mardy tw@ who doesnt want to be socialable with his family. Urgh

For once in my life i actually wanted to smack my dad square in the face.
Rant 2 over

Morale of this? in a few days time everything will be fine and next christmas/ new year the same sort of thing will happen. The sooner i move out the better!
 
2 weeks ago I got messy in town and lost my iPhone a d lost my temper so I hit a wall and broke my knuckle. Worst bit I can't drive for 2 more weeks from now and there still making me work

Whats your daily drive mate? Used to have a carb'd civic was a right pain, the jets used to get blocked alot till I changed the fuel filter
 
Browned off all day thinking of having to go back to work tomorrow... has to be done I suppose...
 
I just cant get my van going.. A simple pulley is gone and cant find a replacement..Rang 13 scrapyards and drove to 3 and no luck...
Its a known problem in the model so hard to get..I was allowing to spend maybe €30 for the 2nd hand part but then realised I may buy new..Turns out new its €220..The van is ment to be a cheap run around..I put new tyres on it and new tax..Had to buy a new altenator belt and now still trying get this pulley.. Doe in a few weeks...Cheap run around for work aint to cheap
 
Minor in comparison to some people but I'm getting really annoyed with the inside of my windows being frozen everytime I get into my car I'm sure I'm not the only one with this and its not that bad.

I was however rarther annoyed with the driver of a white van that decided to cut infront of me whist on dual lane a slip road causing me to have to slow down and watch a massive artic lorry gaining very fast in my mirror and the gap I wanted to merge into be filled by this inconsiderate ass who just wanted to shave a few minuites of his commute home. Leaving me to arrive at my girlfriends in a naff mood once which I'm sure she didn't appreciate lol.

Well that's my 2 pence hope everyone feels better after their rants :)

Oh and mattharvey ur better off without an iphone anyway I hate them :p not that I would wish anyone to loose one hope u can get some money from insurance or get it back. (I know that's just personal opinion just a bit of fun I don't want to start any arguments about phones.)

Carbd engines are great fun my brother got a stage 1 kit for his 998cc mini lol ran terrible when we first put it on because the generic needles they put in the pack are waaaaaayy off and litterally every engine is different so you spend ages tinkering and getting irritated then when u get it slightly better u get a massive sence of achievement. Although we did get it professionally tuned and a custom needle made it still felt good goes like the clappers now :D

Sorry I know that wasn't honda related at all.
