Today's freebies are:
How would you like to go to sleep one night and wake up the next morning to find out your car had a new paint job? Well, that's what happened to me! My yellow Blazer is officially yellow with black speckles! A few days ago they were painting the fence in our complex with a black, water-based paint. I was already gone and at work on the bike and Nichole was just leaving for work when the maintenance guys asked if my truck would be staying where it is (about 3 spots from the fence). Of course she told them yes and they said they would cover it. They did cover it but they only used scotch tape to hold the cover down and apparently it was a blustery day. Needless to say the whole driver's side of my truck is now covered in black speckles. It's even all over the windshield and so now the wipers scrap across it with a nasty, scratchy sound. After talking with the complex about it they said it was water-based and should come off. I'm thinking not though since it rained last night and I was driving and that did nothing. So, we will see. If it doesn't wash off they said to let them know and we would go from there. I'm not too pissed off about it because they did TRY to cover it and they said that if it doesn't wash off they will take care of it. Just upset about it and another thing to add to the platter.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone with the prior posts (now deleted). They were not intentionally offensive. Let it be known that I do not intentionally disrespect friends and what I was stating was, what was asked of us I found funny and some what ridiculous. My personal cell phone is for my personal use and I choose to use it for business. I pay for my minutes and therefore if I choose not to use it, it is my choice.
I saw this article and read it today from CNN. It's about people actually "flipping" Geo Metros and making a profit. With the high gas prices going on, many can barely afford to fill their tanks. I for one, have not filled the tank in my truck in a couple of months. I can't afford to do it all at one time. You are talking $60 just to fill it. Instead I'll drop $10 or $20 in when it is needed. Just can't do it all at once.
It's a super day for Wal-Mart freebies!
Well, as you can see I am back from our awesome vacation. More on that later. I don't have much time available at the moment but I came across some freebies and I couldn't pass them up. So, here you go:
Okay... I don't know what's with all the free ice cream lately, but I like it! We had free Ben & Jerry's just a few days ago and now all the other ice cream shakes are doing it too!
Saturday is Free Comic Book Day! This Saturday, comic book stores all across the nation not only are giving away free comics but are also having guest artists and writers in the stores to speak with and get autographs. I was not a huge comic book fan when I was a kid, but there were a few I enjoyed. Now that I'm older, I enjoy the more graphic comics from writers such as Frank Miller. Doubt they will be giving away any Frank Miller comics, but I bet the free ones are just as entertaining. So, if you have kids, or even if you don't, get up to your local comic book store and get yourself and your family some comic delight.
I got my bike! Actually, Nichole and I went and picked it up last Thursday. I've just been so busy with riding it, cleaning it, and figuring out the title and where to keep it things. It was a really quick learning curve for me and I'm very comfortable riding it now. Which is a good thing, because I can't wait to get Nichole on it and start riding together. I'm not completely ready for that yet, plus we still need to get her a brain bucket (helmet).
Clean your teeth! Get some Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste.
Who wants a free $25 bucks?!? I do and I got it. By signing up for this new money transfer service you will get it too... just for signing up! I was skeptical at first but after knowing a few people who have already done it, it's completely legit and free!
It's been a while since we have had some good 'ol freebie fun time. So, here it goes:
The cell phone job is not anything to me but a job. Where as the church gig and studio are more like careers. Those two I actually enjoy going to. It's nice to work and get paid for doing the things you love. But, unfortunately between the two, I still need another job to bring in more money. So, I continue to work at the mall. Well, recently I got screwed.
I think I met the most annoying person ever yesterday! It was at the studio. This guy comes in with his dreadlocks and pants around his knees. Apparently he had talked to Corey, but Corey never told me about it. This guy says he rewrote the National Anthem and had a poster with the words on it. Well, I can tell you right now the words suck. Sometimes they didn't even make sense. It was all run-on sentences. Another thing that pissed me off about it was he was trying to capitalize on the 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina thing. Everyone has to jump onboard I guess. But you know what, not to sound harsh or uncaring, but that was long ago. Get over it. It's done with. Let's move on. I'm so sick of hearing about this 9/11 crap that I could scream.
Happy Birthday to Ben & Jerry's! To celebrate their birthday, they are giving you a free ice cream cone! All you have to do is show up. Visit their website to find a location near you.
I'm sure for anybody reading this blog (except for a select few of you), you are not aware that Nichole and I are buying a motorcycle! I'm pretty excited about it. Not only is it going to be a fun "toy" to have and a blast to drive for recreation, but it is going to save me a lot in gas money. My good friend and studio owner Corey recently purchased a new bike and offered me a good deal for his old one. Knowing that he babies all of his toys and that he would not rip me off, I started to really consider it. After weeks of figuring out finances and deciding what I wanted to do, I have the money and we are going to go get it sometime this week.
Wow, it's been almost a month since my last post. I guess I have just been too wrapped up in everything. I really haven't had the time to keep up with this. Maybe I'll get back into it. Maybe not. We'll see.
Yesterday was such a nice relaxing day. I haven't had a day like that in a long time. Nichole and I went up to Springhill to see some family and celebrate my Aunt's birthday! Just a few of us lounging out by the pool, drinking some beer and having some good cookout food. Burgers, hot dogs, tater salad, cole slaw and deviled eggs... and don't forget the beer! It was really nice to just relax and not do much of anything. I also had a good time playing ball with my little cousins. Birthday cookouts are always the best.
