I am attending college to obtain a Management degree, and hopefully oversee industrial operations.  As for a job, I am a fabricator at welding shop building guyed wire cellphone towers for a radio station called the Good News Network.  Good people at the radio station.

so happy today!!! just today i got a call from pepsi and basically i'm hired ( all i need to do is physical agility test and drug screening). i had an interview with them 2 weeks ago and when i walked out i had a good feeling that i was definitely going to get a call. i interviewed with the 2nd in charge of the whole operation but at the time i didn't know it. anyway i see a completed kx 250 project or a new 450 in my future  VVVVVVVV this bike has sat long enough.

so about 1 month ago i come home and my mother is looking like somebody shot the dog. so she takes me downstairs and shows me and tells me that one of the water pipes busted. guess what happened to be right under that pipe? yup basically all the parts from my bike luckily i had most bagged and tagged. but i didn't have the cases bagged so now they are ruuuuuuuuuuuusssstedddddddd!! oh well not riding it anyway i told her, i like buying motorcycle parts anyways it's a hobbie :-D
