Finalized the Loan

I finalized the loan today for the New Beetle TDI I am purchasing! All I have to do now is wait for Volkswagen Credit to release the lien on the title and then I can go pick it up from the seller. This is a monumental upgrade in my life, as my old Chevy hasn't really been a "feel good" car for many, many moons now.

I also got the application to become a customer at my local Biodiesel fuel station, which I am planning on filling out and mailing it in along with the $20 registration fee sometime this week. The station is selling only a 20% Biodiesel blend at this point but he might upgrade in the future. I'm going to be very interested in finding out just how efficient this car is going to be. I have read that it gets about 47 MPG and can go about 700 miles on one tank of fuel. I would imagine that a 20% Biodiesel blend combined with this kind of efficiency would be pretty darn green.

Disappointed In Myself

I have this very deep and dark disappointment in myself about not finishing some web sites that have been my "babies" for at least the past 3 years. I honestly don't have any excuse as to why I have not finished them or made them kick ass. I have time (if I were to manage my time correctly) to work on them, and I own the URLs. It's really stupid. I guess I'm either always reading stupid shit on the internet, working on OTHER people's web sites, or hanging out with my boyfriend.

I also need to spend a whole lot more time working on music.

I really hope that I am able to kick myself in the ass enough to reach these goals by the end of 2007. It will be about damn time!

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day. Have you called your Mother?

Where To Start?

Ahhhh... it's been forever since I posted here. I've been through some really crazy stuff over the last couple of months. Things that I don't really care to share with the whole world. The important thing is that I made it through it alive, and came out stronger.

I'm sort of tormented about whether or not I should really do this blog. I'm finding that the older I get the more private I have become. I remember reading somewhere that as a person gets older, they become more like their Astrological Ascendant and less like their sun sign. I am definitely finding this to be true.

I am a Leo Sun and I have a Scorpio Ascendent. Leo is extroverted, bold, colorful, flamboyant, artistic, creative, etc etc. I still find that this is defintely a part of my personality.. but I tend to express these qualities much less as I grow older. These days I tend to be more introverted, secretive, emotional, investigative, and most of all private. Experience has shown me that by revealing my weaknesses and everything going on in my life isn't always the wisest thing to do...

Anyway, the most exciting thing going on in my life right now is that I have decided to buy a new car. I'm going to look at a 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS TDI tomorrow. Not only is the car really cute and have excellent luxurious features, it also is very green. It has the ability to run on a type of fuel called biodiesel. I passionately believe in investing in this fuel. I think it has the potential to rejuvenate our economy while saving the planet at the same time. I'm feeling great about getting this car. It's also going to feel really good to my ego and self image to get rid of my extremely ugly (albeit safe and reliable) 1996 Chevrolet Corsica.
