My car it seems needs a new cat converter. About $1400. I have yet to decide wether to just fix it or put a few grand down on a new car. I feel very sentimental towards my old car. I'm sure many of you know her well also. Given the circumstances though I don't know how much longer she would last even if I fixed this very expensive problem. I am currently waiting for the opinion of dave's trusted mechanic at Toa Auto in raleigh, nc. I hate to have to weigh such an important decision on the opinion of someone I don't know though. It's also just a few days before bonnaroo. I don't know if I will be able to go know do to car difficulties. We shall see.

 The pain in my head from the blades. The pain in my back from the barbed wire. What makes a good man great? What makes the earths rumble wait.

The light stopped and I walked into the house. "Jesus Chist your here!", "Put this on!". I took the necklace and put it over my head just in time to hear the song. Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,Merry merry king of the bush is he.Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, Gay your life must be! As the song was being sang a short funny little man came out from another room I had not noticed before. He floated up to us about level with my face. He gave a stern look with one of his wooden looking eyes and proceeded on his way. One would think to find other more amusing things to play with. "Where did you get him?" I asked? "Imp" she said, "I thought it was harmless". Imp was a dangerous place to be traveling to these days. "Do you have the knives too?". "I'm not a fool Benjamin!".

So i drank a fair amount on new years. It had been 14 months since i had a drink. Overall it was incredibly pleasant. I am however back on the no alcohol diet. I can't deal with the hangover. Sleeping on a mattress in the sky at lexi's house was very awesome as well. I have these snippits of random conversations about me going through my mind.  Mostly voicing concern about the fall i may have made during my drunken rolling. All went well though. Hopefully 2009 will get better as my hangover subsides.

I am grateful for all of you.

I can't help feeling at many points during my lounging at sexton that the neighbor is concocting some evil plan. I mean he seems to laugh as he hogs the driveway with his massive gas guzzling suv and the red duct tape in my mailbox may not have been his doing but, who really knows? He seems the sort of character that would perhaps harbor little children in his basement for a stew or perhaps even a gimp. Is that taking things too far? Man this guy sucks.

So my mirror has been replaced!

I bought a new one from the internet for $40. Out of the $180 i found under my windshield you see. Parked outside in JP My car was smashed by a driver of some random suv. Now all i need is some weather seal.

Good lord,

It has happened Benjamin Hammerschmidt has activated his final internet frontier of discombobulation! Beware all that follows.
