It's been nearly four months since my last journal entry.

Work has not been kind but changes are on the way. CSK Auto has been bought out by O'Rielly Auto and the big meeting is this Thursday. Hopefully a lot of the BS that we've had to deal with will be wiped out. What kind of BS? This kind; our current radio ad has this line in it: "Repeat after me, if I can lift the toilet seat, she can put it down." Our female employee were pissed at this and I don't blame them. The last thing I need as a store manager is to have someone walk in my store thinking the women I have working with me only know how to lower a damn toilet seat and can't help them find the parts they need for their car/truck/van. No woman should be degraded like that. There are other issues but I won't bore you with them.

In other news: I've planted an apple and orange tree, six celery plants, and some onion and garlic plants at the house. Hopefully I'll be getting some fruit in a year or two off the trees. The celery should be all grown up in about six months. I plan on getting more fruit and veggie plants as time goes on.

I've also re-discovered some old bands from the 90's that I loved when I was living in Germany; Opus III, U96, Scooter, and Member of Mayday. Kirsty Hawkshaw, the former lead singer from Opus III, has a new song out with DJ Tiesto called Just be. There are two mixes, the original and the 514 mix. If you love Trance check out the song on YouTube. There's no video for the 514 mix yet but it's an awesome dance song.

I've also learned that the Banker's Guild is using a fractional banking system. It's the same type of system used in the 1920's that caused the Great Depression only it was with the stock market. This time they're doing it with the dollar and that's what's been driving the price of everything through the roof.

If you've made it this far there's something I'm going to ask you to do, MeaganFilth and ManMeat have been going through a rough transition. Go give them some support. They need all the support they can get from all of us.

Keep the faith everyone, it going to be a rough year for a lot of us.
