So I have this friend..I thinnk he still is..I dont know...Anyway,he's continuously nagging at me what a waste of time and money my love of car audio is.He thinks that anything above a deck and 2 speakers is way too much and not required...

I can't get it through to him that I do this for more reasons than most can understand.I do it to keep my mind off the things that get to me in life..I do it for an outlet of what little creativity I have.....and I do it because I love it!!

He is currently in the process of trying..with no real progress to speak of...to get a 1988 K-Car running and driving in A-1 condition...a car he payed $200 for the car a year and a half ago and since sunk a new head,timing belt,4 injectors,5 feul pressure regulators,3 cam shafts,and many other misc. odds and ends...and as far as I am concerned,it doesnt run to any degree better to say it was worth all the time and money...

Our last conversation ended with him telling me of all the finacial troubles I've had in recent and distant past.I asked him to please have faith in me that I can continue to the level I want to acheive...his reply was he was sick of hearing of my money troubles and of me talking about car stereos...I said ok,he said goodbye and hung up...

Where it goes from here...who knows...But I do know I dont need someone telling me whats wrong with my life and what I'm doing wrong with it...

I'm not giving up my love...my sanity maintainer!

Anyway...Sorry if this posting doent sit well with the mods...but I needed to vent somewhere...

Thanks....

 

Do you have a diary/journal?
If not, have you considered getting one?

So, it's not that hard to always whine about your money problems. Tough it out and give him a call back.

 

Gee Thanks Chris...

No offense Takin'.....

I see people posting tons of useless crap on here all the time...so why can't I have my slice of the pie..

And by the way...the 8track thing is more or less dead...I joke about it here and there, but basiclly,I'm sick of the whole 8 track thing..

 

dude i feal for ya man. got the same prob. not that i do car audio that much, but when i get sumtin on my mind that i really love, i just can't stop talkin about it. my freinds kinda just pretend to listen cause. i do this constatly cause i always have sumttin on my mind that i love. be it drinking or be it my car eitheir way i always talk about sumttin and never get off that topic till some one gives me crap for it. we all love sumttin and tend to talk about it to much to people that sum times don't always care. thats why i try to talk to my dog he always listens to what i got planned out for my car in my dreams. never talks back dosent pretend to listen he just sits and stares. (now you guys probly think im crazy and that i talk to much)

 

Chris how long did that take ya lol

 

It's one thing to waste all your money, if it's a couple bucks here and there then no harm. But it's when all you do is waste ur cash on something that's not a real need in life and ur having other "financial" issues then you have to think about what's more important.

 

EXACTLY!!Thank You!!Finally someone who really understands that.... [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

What buddy doesnt seem to get is the fact that all my gear has been bartered,swapped,won,bought used,refurbed or bought off a friend at one hell of a good deal...

I bought an item for $5.00 one day from a friend that was worth sizeable amount more.He told me I had wasted my money and if I was smart I should take it and try to resell it and make a profit..$5.00...

But it makes sense to him to spend 300 or so dollars on putting a cylinder head on his crapass K-car to "try and make it run better"...

I just dont get....To be honest,I think I would be better off without him...All he does is critize everything I do,say, or think of....

Oh well...I hate to see it end like this,but sometimes it happens I guess...
