I've posted this on three of my forums that I'm a regular at. But my blog get's more detailed of a story. The original post will be bolded, while commentary will be italic. Threads were posted on Dugdog.com, MustangEvolution.com, and 3.8mustang.com.
Ok, some history.
Samantha and I have been off and on again 8 times since her freshman year of high school... That was 8 years ago (almost 9). The last time we broke up, was just over a year ago. She lied to me about quitting smoking, and she didn't trust me on the internet (something about talking to girls). Anyway, Just over a year ago today, we say our final goodbyes. I was relieved that I wasn't going to be lied to anymore by someone who was claiming to be in love with me. She was always a lying b***h who ruined my prom, lied about damn near everything imaginable, and she manipulated me into so many things... like spending over 10,000 dollars on her in a single year.
She called me once about a month after we broke up claiming she was pregnant. I just tell her "We'll cross that bridge when we get there and you know for sure." Well she wasn't... big surprise
And today... about an hour ago, she e-mail’s me out of the blue... which I will post up now. THIS IS ONLY EDITED FOR THE FORWARDING BRACKETS (>), all other text was preserved! Actual text has been bolded for your ease of reading it.
And it truly was unedited. Everyone knows that I'm almost anal about spelling and grammar, but at the time I was too excited to finally put to use what Tom Leykis has been teaching me for the last two years.

You know, I was having a great day until I got your first email, which by the way, has been giving me a nauseated feeling ever since I read it.
I'm not doing this again. Every time you say the word friends, it's the same outcome.
I told you last time we were together that I was done, that was it. And you're right, I was immature, but more importantly than that, I was ignorant as hell to think that you were telling me the truth 100% of the time.
I'm not as ignorant as I used to be, and I was too weak to tell you that I hated the way you manipulated me with the numerous lies.
But, that doesn't matter now; I'm over it, over you, and over with being an ignorant kid.
I have pleanty of friends who don't have a history of lies and deceit.
So after you're done being hurt by this response, why dont you go out and light up another cigarette to get over it.
If you'll excuse me, I have a client meeting I must attend to.
Best regards,
Evin

OMFG that felt so damn good to hit "Send" and not have a single F*ing regret about it.
I'll keep you posted on further emails I get from her.
Tom Leykis would be proud of me. :DOh my god did that feel good to post that all over the net!
Check out the forum links I posted above to view responses I got from around the world about that.

Ok, since when does what I say in online forums actually matter in the slightest to my personal life? It doesn't, and it shouldn’t. Hell, if I say something important in a forum, it's usually concerning safety in my mustang forums. I don’t mean every single word I say online. If I call someone a name, it's not meant as a slam to your personal being, it's a random filler that I throw in sentences to make them colorful.
Apparently, one of those comments hit someone I care about a little harder than it was intended. I didn't mean it to be hurtful, but it seemed to rub someone the wrong way.
Who it was isn't important, but as long as they know I'm sorry, then that's about all I can do.

There is one advantage to having a rain storm. It gives me an excuse to practice my fishtailing skills. Now of course no one is around when I do it, and I only do it for the sole purpose of practice. Lately, with all the rain that we Californians have been getting, I've been practicing a little bit more than usual.
Low and behold, the practice is paying off.
I was taking the La Sierra off ramp at a normal rain speed of 20 MPH. This exit is a left uphill turn going over the freeway. But this time was different. There must have been a patch of oil in the beginning of the turn, because my back end swung out so fast, it had felt like I hit a patch of ice.
So I'm doing 20 miles per hour, I can see the far left lane of oncoming traffic and I'm traveling to the right of the overpass. Now, a natural instinct is to slam on the brake and stop as fast as possible... and that's how people get into accidents. My experience is to take your foot off the gas, and steer out of the skid gently. Which I do... thinking I'm practicing my drifting turns. And it pays off... 30 feet or so later.
Luckily, there wasn't anyone in the other lane because I took up both of the lanes with the length of my car for a short distance. It's not something that I would want to do again, but I'm glad my dad put it into my head that practicing emergency procedures in a vehicle stuck in my head.
It shook me up a little, but it didn’t stop me from practicing more on my drive home.

With 4 days of rain in Southern California, today I have a day off to relax and catch up on my blog. I apologize for not keeping up with it, and there is a simple reason for it... I've been out doing stuff that I was going to blog about.
Let's start with my new wakeboard, A Dave Shapiro 2004 143cm. I got this wakeboard and placed it next to my second wakeboard. My second wakeboard is a very sad story. I picked it up for fifty dollars in a clearance sale at Sportmart. My step dad and I went there to pick up some new life vests for the next season.
Our first day out, I put the wakeboard in the boat, pinned by a 50 pound ice chest, the floor and a seat. I did this same procedure with my first wakeboard for a couple years and nothing ever went wrong with it... until that day. We're about 10 minutes away from the lake, and all of a sudden, my step dad pulls the boat over, and says, "Guess what just flew out of the boat?"
My eyes got huge as I saw a glimpse of my brand new wakeboard, catching some awesome air without me.
I flung the side door of the van open and looked back to see a couple semi trucks and a RV coming; heading straight to my wakeboard. Luckily, they missed it, since my board was on the double yellow line.
I get to my board, pick it up after the traffic is clear, and I'm heart broken. The board faired pretty well through it's ordeal, but is now rendered useless. The back end of the board split, taking most of the fiberglass apart from the foam.
A brand new board, will perish never having ever been ridden. So that ruined my day.

Valentines day, 2005. I've been spending the last 3 weeks gathering up gifts for Nicole. I got her some of the things that she wanted, some of the things she never would have guessed, and of course, took her out to dinner. We went to a little place in Hollywood called "Byrds". A little bar and dinner place with valet parking. Now usually, I hate letting other people drive my car; it's a pet peeve of mine unless it's an emergency. For tonight, I don’t let it bother me, besides, I hate looking for parking in Hollywood because it's a royal pain if the ass!
We have a few drinks a piece, eat dinner after waiting about half an hour.
We head back to her place and of course, as it is with almost every night I'm there, we end up falling asleep in each others arms. And the great part is, I'm going to the Plan room the next day, so I don’t have to wake up early to drive to Redlands.
All in all, it was a good evening. I learned some new things about Nicole's past that she told me that she would never tell me, so that was a good thing on my part... not that the information was comforting, but knowledge is always a good thing.

I had received Christopher's birthday gift computer, and took it over to Charles' house to assemble and program it. Now I'm alright when it comes to computer building, but Charles surpasses my knowledge by a bit.
I thought I could save a little money by using an old case that I had, so I brought that along too. Well, to say the least, there is about 2mm of room between the CPU heat sink fan and the power supply. Crap. Damn mini ATX cases, damn huge heat sinks!
So we decide to program the thing anyway. I plug in my External Hard Drive to the computer for applications that I have to install, but there is a problem with the XP that we installed. So we restart it and try to re-format it. Well, we get it started and Charles tells me to go play a game while he re-formats the drive. Well about 2 minutes later, he asks,
"Hey, Evin? How big is your External?"
"76.4 Gigs in NTFS. Why?"
"Because it's formatting your external."
I look at him and jump up. "Unplug it!!!!"
He pulls the plug on the power to the External, and I run over there. I start shaking, hoping that it was in the pre-diagnostic phase of the format. I plug it into my laptop and check it. But my hopes were a little too far fetched... the drive had already been 30% in a complete format sequence. It was lost. Everything I had been saving for the last 8 years, was completely gone. My Cold Air Induction Article, My blog, My videos, My applications, almost 10,000 MP3 files... all of it, gone in the keystroke.
I was in shock. I went outside and cried. I felt so small. I know it wasn't Charles' fault, and I've told him that numerous times, but I still don’t think he's completely understood my understanding. A few people I have told, completely understand that I feel devastated. But after a couple days of thinking about it, not everything is lost.
When I first started working at UNI, I shared my entire drive with Jeff. And him, being the person he is, milked most of the drive, including some of the non-replaceable parts. So when I got back, I milked it all back. I lost al of my apps, but I get now ones from Jeff, got all of my pictures back, and about 2/3rds of my MP3's.
I'm not fretting about it anymore. So relax a little bit Charles.

I'll get to the loss of my 80 Gig, my Valentines gifts, and whatever later, but now, I'm going to tell everyone about a great experience I've had tonight, and what PEOPLE actually do in appreciation for one another. (On a side note, I just hit ctrl+n and lost my entire entry, so I'm going to re-type it. I know, I'm a dumbass)
No Duh, a No Doubt cover band, was playing at The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. Nicole, Kenisha and myself get there at about 8:45 PM, order a few rounds and wait for No Duh to come on stage at about 9:30ish.
Low and behold, Tom, Tony and Adrian, Members of No Doubt, walk into the bar at around 9:15 PM. Holly CRAP! Fucking No Doubt (Minus Gwen) have shown up to their own cover band, and Nicole, Kenisha and myself are at the table right in front of them!
Being a musician myself, I realize that these guys ROCK! Not only No Duh, but No Doubt as well. No doubt didn’t HAVE to go, but they're just normal people like you and I, so they went to a free show playing songs that they liked. That, to me, is awesome! It shows me that Even world wide famous stars are still just normal people, like everyone else, who just go to have a good time.
Nicole attempted to buy them drinks, but they refused because they already had drinks. But all is good, because after about the fifth No Duh song, The person who was playing Tony announced and recognized that No Doubt was in the building, and invited them up to do a song. Since Gwen wasn't there, The girl playing Gwen (whose stage name is "Spen Gjamani" (pronounced Spend your money) got to sing with No Doubt. She was in tears during the performance of "Spider Webs". Truly, a performance that she would never soon forget about.
No Duh did a few more songs, then finished. No Doubt members left the bar, and soon, we vacated as well since I have to be in Redlands at 8:00 AM tomorrow.
It pleases me to know that even members of a higher fame standing, are just like everyone else in the world. That, to me, is just amazing. It shows me, that no matter who you are, you're still just human, who lives just the same as we do... simple.

Okay, I'm not one for getting pissed off, but I was listening to Howard Stern and he had a caller call in that totally pissed me off.
This woman, 28 years old, had a husband in Iraq for the last 6 months. I'm saying to the radio, "Cool, good for him. He's keeping all of us free." She continues by saying that she's slept with 6 other men in the last 6 months that her husband has been gone.
WHAT THE FUCK?
She says it's not cheating because she thinks that her husband is doing the same thing over there in the litter box of the world. Also she's not cheating because there is no emotional attachment the these guys; she's just sleeping with them.
My god I just wanted to reach through the radio, reach through the telephone, and kill this cheating bitch. What the hell? Your husband is defending your freedoms, expects you to stay faithful to your damn wedding vowes, and not sleeping with hafd the damn population of southern California. You honestly think he's getting ANY kind of action in bed over there in that religious sandbox? Hell no!
There were several callers talking about how there are no whores over there to begin with because of the religon. And this damn stupid woman is like, "Yeah right... blah blah blah..."
I just wanted to scream at her. Geez she pissed me off something aweful.

Holly crap my week is hectic now that I actually work for a living. Redondo Beach at least twice a month is helpful though. I can See Nicole the night before, go to the plan room which is only 2 miles from her place, go BACK to her place after the plan room, crash at her place that night, then go home the next day.
I'm sure that Nicole really likes that too. See, She doesn't get to see me as much as she would probably like to (same goes for me too actualy). But that isn't entirely a bad thing. The last thing I want her to do is get tired of me. So I go over roughly twice a week.
So I'm planning to go over to Nicole's place tonight, in antisipation of going to the plan room on Friday. Well low and behold, Change of plans and I ahve a rush job for El Monte Union High School District that needs to be done ASAP. So Jeff changes my schedule a little... but I'm supposed to see Nicole tonight. So what do I do? I call Nicole and explain the situation. She's all bummed out and tells me just to go home. But I was looking forward to seeing her... so what do I do? I go to her house anyway, having ot wake up at 5:45 AM to get back to Redlands by 8am. So she gets all excited that I'm coming over... tonight and tomorrow.

With Valentine's day right around the corner, and a girlfriend dropping the necessary hints (and wishlists), the stuff that I've decided to buy for her have started to come in. Thankfully, I'm smart enought to not only get her what she asked for, but I also got her some stuff she has no clue about. That's always a good thing, to surprise someone.
On a business note, I went on my first job walk in Lynwood. It's been a long time since I've stepped foot onto a High School campus that was in session. I must say, these kids dont realize how much I wish I could have said htat I was 16 or 17 again, to deal with all the High School Bullshit... rather than what REAL life is like. I was with Ed all day, and I must say, I think I liked actually hanging around with the CEO of the company... which is more than I could EVER say about Spectrum. Ed's a cool guy, with a level head on his shoulders, and thats what I like. We spent the day chatting about all sorts of shit. Had lunch at a kickass restraunt in Lynwood (name forthcoming), then got back tothe office at about 4:30 P.M. So this is great, I've started studying for my RCDD, went to the plan room, started estimation training, started making relations with the actual district personell... all within 2 weeks. How great is this?
On an eBay Note, I won my new wakeboard for 100.00 dollars from a comapny called QuickList. And it's well worth it too. Since my last wakeboard decided to fly out of the backof the boat... at 55 miles per hour... on the road, which ended its life before I ever got to ride it, I wanted a board again. And I hope to do a lot more riding than I used to do.
I paid off my Visa Finally. And with this new job, I'm going to be switching over to my credit union for good, and get rid of Bank Of America since I'm going to be making more deposits into my account directly. now all I have to do is get rid of my Best Buy card, and my Discover Card, then I can start thinking about new living accomidations.
I still have my new "Low Millions" CD in my alarm Clock. I really like that CD. Of course the title of the CD is "Ex-Girlfriends", which I have a few of, but don't plan on having anymore since I'm with Nicole now. The CD is great. I first saw these guys in L.A. opening for Vanessa Carlton. And I got the Lead Singers' pic in San Fransisco because I asked for it \m/. I've had the CD for about 3 weeks now.
But one thing I've always wondered. Is how many people actually read this blog? I mean, I dont tell everyone about it, but I do post the link once in a while. I need to really figure out the comments section.
