I already get medical coverage from someone else. Adding it on through insurance increases it by $500 but I'm covered for the max should I cause injuries to others.

Car insurance came out to be $2200 for 6 months... ouch and that's from Progressive. Geico wants a cool $3000. Looks like I'm stuck paying my parents for car insurance instead of going it on my own despite how much I hate them.

It's not like Chinese people are the first and only ones to do so but it sells and the average American is too stupid and just follows the crowd.

I encountered some stupid "poo poo" today hearing about people, some black (i want to say the N word so badly), talking about how chinese people should just stay in their land and stop screwing the world and then give me a look as if I couldn't do anything and this is in a school for Criminal Justice.

It's sad when a majority of the minorities out there are unable to see past their own squabbles and realize they're part of the problem against other minorities. I'm sorry you encountered bigots, but really nothing would have been accomplished if you opened your mouth. They're so not worth your time.

That reminds me...
At work the other day a bartender was just serving people, doing his job. He's a hispanic bartender, and was serving one white guy, one black guy, and one hispanic guy.
He cut off the hispanic guy because he was obviously way too toasty to keep going. After he did that he served the black guy and the white guy another drink each.
To which the hispanic guy responded "Motherf***** are you cutting me off because I'm Mexican? You being racist now?" Basically started pulling the race card until we kicked him out. What kills me is that he was so drunk he obviously didn't realize he was trying to pull the race card on another minority, much less one of his own race.
Gotta love entitlement complexes!

As for what I'm doing today... Friends of mine are borrowing my car so I get to borrow his YZF... That's gonna be fun! haha. Then going to work where if the "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu master" (or so he claims) comes back I get to literally throw him out. Oh, and as of today, 3 weeks left each of Suzuki and Yamaha! w00t!!!

EDIT:
Went for a ride! Woohoo! lol

I'd wish that the American companies would stop insisting on using cost cutting materials when making their products in China and that the chinese would stop using things we used back in the 50's so that none of this garbage would happen. Consumers insisting on having dirt cheap are somewhat to blame as well, I would gladly pay a bit of premium for a German or Japanese made product or a US made product that is actually of good quality (like US made Soda with Sugar instead of HFCS).

I'd hate to say this but Korean products are also on the rise in quality... like my COWON D2 mp3 player, so much better than Apple in terms or hardware.

I got to see mc chris last night. He called some guy up on the stage. And promptly kicked his "O Ring" out. It was great. He just wanted to show everyone who he was throwing out. Then the dude who got tossed followed my friends and I out to the car.

I baked some sweet potato pie today.

Sounds good. Did you use that particular recipe?

We usually have pumpkin pie at Thanksgving.

I got my new car on the road! It's definatly not the RS, but I'm starting to like it a lot. Just need a little $$$ and for it to be spring, and it'll start to change

Yes I used that recipe except I used vanilla instead of lemon and I used 2 cups of sugar instead of 2½. I think next time I'll cut that back to 1¾ cups of sugar. I wanted to try something different this year. I'm going to try a butternut squash pie next.

I'd rather have lemon meringue.

I saved the sweet potato pie recipe, so if I get around to trying it, I will start with the lesser amount of sugar you posted.

Butternut squash pie will probably be similar to pumpkin......(won't it? I've never tried other squashes)
