requested story…
ok i had a request to explain this psycho roommate’s fiancee story so in order to do that i must go back to the begining.
well you know how somtimes it feels as if you have whats called a a$$hole magnet? i found out about two years ago i have what called a psycho magnet i attract the psychos and its not just certain one its all of them and most of the time they are female (im not saying that all females are psychos) just the ones i attract. ok two years ago one night i was one messenger and i received a meassage “hello, josh. you dont know me but i know you” my reply after being freakout abit was “who are you” they would not tell me and they proceeded to tell me alot of personal stuff about me that most ppl didnt know unless they were close friends. turns out i had a stalker she works at wallmart as one of those door greeters :. she wasnt all home upstairs. after awhile she got the hint i wasnt interested and she left me alone after i blocked her email and messenger id.
next we have naomi yeah she was scary, however, i would have never met my friend katrina so one positive thing came out of her. but she was scary we were talking over messenger one night and she was talking about relationships and stuff asking me how to get a guy to like a girl i told here that she was asking the wrong person becasue i enjoyed my single life and i really not interested in a realtionship. After that statement she change her screen name to ” death to the man who cant see his love for me” so yeah a quick block on messenger ive never heard from her since .
ok now to the psycho roommate’s fiancee. this was from my last apartment the one i moved into in febuary. my roommate paul was a good person his psycho fiancee was not. ok for the last 4 months this apartment was my apartment and in may his fiancee was going to move in since they were getting married in may. well one morning i didnt have to work or have classes so i slept in and so on. well i got up and like most ppl when they get up you have to use the rest room so instead of putting a shirt on and shorts i was out in my boxers like normal since i was right next to the bathroom. well surpirse surprise paul’s fiancee was sitting in our living room and paul was no where to be found he was in class. she proceeded to tell me that i needed to aways be dressed because she didnt want to see me half naked and that i never knew when she was going to be around. this was all said to me in my apartment not hers mine .. i told her to shove it and proceeded to put her in her place. then later one paul and his fiancee were wanting to buy a used washer and dyer for the aprtment and she thought this was a good idea: the units were being sold for 200 dollars her idea was since they were going into our apartment that her and paul would pay 150 dollars of it and i pay 50 for it and they would keep them when i move out. yeha thats really going to work.
then it was her idea that paul not pay his half of the cable bill and then somehow instead of him paying i was sppose to somehow justify buying him alcohol ??? how does that work me buying alcohol for them and they dont pay the cable bill? also she still think i somehow owe her 200 dollars not sure why or how but everytime i she her she bring it up. im glad im out of that apartment. it is sad when someone allows themselves to have all their desicions made for them.
It’s quiet around here!
Fuzz and I are spending a lot of quality time together. Duane took off for school a few days ago. His first couple of weeks is just prep time for taking the CDL learner’s permit test. If they don’t pass that they can’t take the class. Today was their first quiz. All this makes me glad I have the job I have. I don’t think I could restart schooling this late in life.
Speaking of my job…I served my first (known) DUI last week. When the lady came in and told me she’d gotten a DUI after drinking all the beer I had served her the day before I felt really bad. But, I gotta admit the guilt didn’t last long. Seriously, is it my fault? I don’t think so. Heck, I wasn’t even around when she’d gotten her three previous DUIs. After three, the fourth DUI is her own flippin’ fault.

finally ive gotten completly moved and i have internet once again …YAY!!!!!!
The Toronado Caliente
The “upgrade” from Lil Brudder. Here it is. A 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Caliente.
It was the top of the line Oldsmobile in late 1984-1985. In the class of “Personal Luxury” cars including the Buick Riviera, Ford Thunderbird, and Cadillac Eldorado. Infact when I first drove it to work, everyone thought it was a Cadillac.
What does a 21 year old car of this calibur cost? $625.
First, the drawbacks. (The reason it was $625).
-It has 196,000 miles. Yikes! Though from what I’ve heard of the Toronados, the transmissions are nearly industructible, and lots of them last over 300,000 miles. Plus for me! And it looks like it doesn’t leak a drop of transmission fluid.
-It’s in bad need of a paint job. The paint is wearing thin and there a little bit of surface rust in places, and some significant rust behind the rear wheels. Though nothing that isn’t repairable. I’m hoping to actually get it fixed sometime soon. I can fix most of the rust myself except the rust in the rear.
-It’s 21 years old.
Outside of that, there’s not a whole lot wrong with the car. The engine runs solid, shifts smooth. It needs new front tires in a few thousand miles. The tires in the rear look almost new.
The AC doesn’t work, but it’s been updated to the new R134a standard instead of the old Freon which you can’t get anymore. So the AC is certianly fixable at a reasonable cost.
This really was a luxury car for it’s day. It’s got power doors, windows, seats, locks, and an auto dimming rearview mirror for driving at night. Leather seats, a digital dashboard, and a Bose sound system. The speakers sound really good, but it needs a new stereo in the dash.
All in all, yeah, it’s got a lot of miles, but the thing is running solid. No major leaks, and I think I got a great deal for $625.
Take a look at the pictures. It’s not the sexiest car ever, but with a little TLC, it’s gonna be a sweet ride.
EDIT: 07/10/09
Well this post has been getting a lot of traffic lately, so I though I would update with a few more recent pictures. Lots of work since that day!
Traveled back to the now defunct dealership where the car was originally sold in Quinter, KS.

Way to go Steve Jobs.
ok normally i would never complement apple, but i have too in this case. the music labels want Apple to put various pricing on itune, ie 60-80 cents for older song and then a much higher price than 99 cents on newer songs. Well Jobs refuses to do anything other than his current rates 99 cents. I must say im in agreement with Apple this time.
04.20.06I bought a car!
Pictures forthcoming.
It’s a 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado. It’s certianly a boat. =) More on this and other stories at noon.
