| I'm back! And you know its something big when I update for the first time in six months. So if you didn't know already I am going to Alabama for seven months. I am working with We Care Prison Ministries in their young adult intern program. Saturday night sometime is my departure date. I will be coming back for two weeks over Christmas and then going back until May 7 unless I'm called to serve longer. Your prayers are appreciated and if I get them done in time I should have prayer cards if you would want one.

| Whoa, bet you thought I forgot about my beloved Xanga site. Hahahaha Come on now....ok so its true. Well I didn't really forget about it, just the whole updating and commenting part. Feels weird typing anything this long. I would have maxed out the facebook status line by now. Yes I said facebook. The facebook that killed of xanga (but to tell the truth, xanga helped out alot, ads all over the place etc...). Well thats about it for me, getting late got to get to bed.
Oh here's a link to a video I made (with time not wasted by surfing xanga).

| In an article I read on yahoo.com about cutbacks on spending on Christmas gifts and the like, I read this following paragraph on spending on children.
"Eventually, they will grow up and face the same stress and challenges we all face," Hale says. "What's wrong with spoiling them now? These sweet-spirited innocent years are so fleeting."
So image you have children (if you don't have them already, or if their grown now knock them back a few years (and yourself if you so wish)).
And answer Hale's Question.
"What's wrong with spoiling them now?

| Hey looky here! Those Pictures are up!
Some of you have asked what I do where I work etc..
Well I work at Manheim Auto Auction in the body shop.
What do I do there? "Well I fix dents". Usually gets more questions, so here in picture form is what I do at work.
We work on new cars here, '04 is the oldest cars I've seen came through (worked on a '09 the other day). I think this is an '06.
What the quarter panel is supposed to look like.
And what its not supposed to look like. This dent is bigger then the normal dents I fix. Flat rate time on this was 11 hours. Yes I get paid flat rate, if you don't know what flat rate is, I get paid the flat rate time on a car. Confusing, no?
Dent was pushed in probably two inches.
After I worked the metal.
Pretty close to where it needs to be.
And after filler.
After this I don't do anything more to it, other people prime, prep, tape, paint and buff it. Took me about five hours to do it, kinda killed my day, got less then 20 hours that day.
My cart while I was working, its not always this bad.
There you have it. What I do at work.
