a christmas miracle

i decided i wanted to drive home tonight. wrong. fucking. decision.

so. its raining super hard the whole way. normally i drive 75 on highway 41. well tonight i was doing about 60. heh. anyway. my car kept jerking from little hydroplane action. so i try to follow the person in front of me and drive in their tread trail. eventually they leave and im in front. and i start swerving everywhere from hydroplaning. now im going like 50. my hands are shaking and im having a panic attack. thennnnn to make things worse. my check engine light comes on and all of a sudden my car pops out of fourth gear and into third and my automatic transmission light comes on. fuuuuck. i call my dad semi freakin out. i keep drivin and eventually the AT light goes off but the engine light stays on. i still hydroplane a few times. and make it home. shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. so tomorrow, or even monday my car is goin to the shop. my dad says i should sell it. i got 98k miles on it and still owe over nine grand. plans for tomorrow are fucked. but. gotta do what ya gotta do.

onto other things.

christmas. got some weird presents. my mom put together every school picture of me grades 1-12 in a frame. what am i supposed to do with that? thats like a gift i would give to her. they gave me weights. sweaters. a mattress topper. cook book i already have. lots of booze lol. a bean bag game that resembles corn hole. about 20 dish towels. 2 for each holiday. jesus. i got a thing that weighs my luggage from my aunt, which ill never use. ummm ninja turtle pjs. awesome. a mandolin. beer pong cups, also from my mom. knife sharpener (i get one EVERY year). my brother got me a belt with skulls and studs, lol. aaaaaaaaaaaand a gift certificate to a seafood restaurant in arroyo grande. my parents love that place. its ok. dont know when ill use that. also three starbucks giftcards and a jamba juice one. lets see. those were from a vendor, my uncle, maybe my parents for the third?. i dunno.

i was cranky all day today. my mom woke me up at 8. i think its been over 10 years since she purposely did that. maybe that was the reason. but fuck i had a scowl on my face all day. so josh and gabby came over to open presents. then judy and joe came over for dinner. lately since ive seen my brother and his prego wife i think, fuck im ready too. they make as much money as me and anyone else. renting. i got three big things to pay for. house, kids, marriage. now which order do i want to do it? we'll see.

the asian market is selling jellyfish for 18 dollars a lb. frozen. only one recipe i could find online using it. but i think i want to get some.

thats enough for now. this blog will be ending in less than a week.
