I really am going to need to actively market my truck; I can’t afford the gas milage! Other than that, it’s a beauty. I’m in the process of replacing alot of parts to get it in tip-top condition for sale… I’m gonna miss it!

Anyone interested in a ’97 Dodge Ram 1500?

I witnessed the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Wednesday night after church with two of my friends. Showing at the Angelica Theatre downtown, the movie was a unique experience in independent films. The storyline basically revolves around a man and his relationship with a particular woman, how their relationship blossoms and then sours, at which point she has him erased from her memory. That’s where things start to go south. Cautios of its ‘R’ rating due to vulgar language, it is an enjoyable excursion.

The upcoming documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11 is raising some doubts already from me. Number one on my list is the fact that Michael Moore is the one directing it! Like Moore’s Bowling for Columbine, this film is sure to feature numerous semi-credible talking heads, loads of deceptively flashy MTV editing, oversimplified and confusingly presented statistics, and overdramatic (and sadly unconvincing) scenarios that manage to exploit even the most well-meaning people. Basically, he gets to spout off fiction as fact simply because his opinions are in line with the mainstream media. I guess we’ll just have to see on the 25th.

I got off to a slow start today, waking up around 2:30pm, but it’s been pretty eventful so far. My new camera came via FedEx today! It’s even tinier than I expected and I love it already. I’ll be sure and upload photos as soon as I get out to take ‘em (probably today).

Then, my mother calls me and explains that she was trying to put oil in her engine, but she messed it up. She was talking on the phone, so she claims she was distracted, and instead of pouring the poil in the spout brightly labelled “Engine Oil” she puts it in the one marked “Coolant ONLY” – the radiator!! I couldn’t believe it! Luckily, she realized her mistake and called the mechanics before starting her vehicle. A guy who was passing by helped her siphine the oil off the top and then I brought over some more antifreeze to top it off. Luckily, no damage was done.

If you didn’t notice, I moved my site to its own domain name! Now you can reach it at RomanStreets.com. How cool, right?

I failed to mention that on Saturday the 5th I attend the Texas Showdown custom car show! Lindsey and another friend accompanied me to the afternoon session. We saw some pretty crazy stuff, from monsterously jacked-up trucks to tricked out Vipers (oh, ya!) to just about anything you can imagine. Possibly a few pics later on from my friend’s camera.

Speaking of cameras… I ordered a new Casio EX-Z40 digital camera! I’m really excited and it should be delivered on Wednesday. This baby is amazing! The features are insane, but the best part is its ultra-slim design. I’ll let ya’ll know how much I love it when it arrives.

Life has been flying by already this summer! I’ve been going out every night, having a blast, then working and driving down to the office, getting designs pumped out and meeting new clients. I’ve been keeping busy! You may view this design I especially like; I created it today.

Check out Psalm 36:1-4.
