Tires Plus will die.

So last night at about 12.30 AM I am driving west on I 80 when all of sudden my car starts to randomly jump a foot to the left or right. I at first blame it on the wind but when it happens repeated I start freaking out. Naturally I pull my vehicle over at the first stop and look over the vehicle. All wheels are fine, so I start up my car and get driving again. Immediately my car starts making a grinding noise in the back left wheel, THE VERY SAME WHEEL IT LOOK TIRES PLUS 5 DAYS TO FIX LESS THAN A WEEK AGO!. Now of course you dont feel safe when your car is dancing on the highway and you have a loud grinding noise so I pulled off the highway at Altoona and started driving down hubble trying to get to a safer part of town. I make it to a Quiktrip over by University Blvd. My tire is so funking loud right now I think it's about to pop off at any moment. by this time it is 1AM and I am stranded in DSM. I call my parents in NYC, who call AAA. First they hook me up with a Tow truck driver...

Pissed Off, Tired, and alone.

So Spring break has started out mega shitty. I went down to Des Moines yesterday to hang out with my buddy Pierce and get my car fixed. First I took my car to tires plus to have them fix the grinding sound in my back left tire and I told them the story of driving on it for a couples after I slid into a curb in a snow storm. They said alright told me what was probably wrong and they could fix it by 5, they'd call me in a couple hours. Cool I walk to Borders, meet up with Pierce we hang out, talk and go back to check on my car. The Tires Plus guys say that my Barrings are melted and my tires are balled to all hell. So I say cool fix it please, they say it will be done by 730. That's fine we'll get dinner and hang We go and meet up with Wilcox, get some Famous Daves (which I havent had in a while) and just tlak up school and their new girlfriends. It was pretty cool to talk to Wilcox and Pierce, I never see either of them and they seem to be pretty happy right now in life. A...

Melty's Computer May 27th, 2001-March 13, 2003

Well that's it fellas, my computer has finally bought the farm. It's gone loco beyond my control. I can still use it but the covers are screwed up, it doesnt like certain webpages and it's just gone straight to hell. We had some good times but damn it those times have come and gone. Time to burn off my files that I want to keep and send the rest of it packing. Yep you know what that means, this spring break...I am gonna have to...REFORMAT!!! It's sad but I'll live some how. But seriously man I have something like 12 gigs of shit I want to keep. So this burning process is probably gonnna take me most of the night. I am expecting a total of... five hours in the computer lab tonight... I am not excited. I will tell you how it went after I have burned the last file.
