Shiver Me Timbers

Well, blow me down
-Some pirate dude

Today wasn't as bad as I had originally imagined it to be. Ok...well that's a slight lie, but whuteva. I managed to do a decent amount of work today and follow-up on several projects that needed some immediate status checking. I even found time to dabble in some code and perform some search engine optimization by tweaking the META tag settings for another of our clients.

But the day can be summed up as this. The big boy toy has come to its fork in the road. [pause for the audible sigh] While enroute to the New England Institute of Art to recruit some new project managers, I had the good (sarcasm, b!tches) [mis]fortune of reciving a call from Ron over at the auto shop I visited last week. And naturally, seeing how November wasn't ended on a sour of enough note as it is, he proceeds to break it down to me in quick en-glez that the batmobile is hurting...bad. So, I could say OK and fork over the $2500-$2800 (yes...he have a fuqing range) that it would cost to repair the dilapidated head gaskets or I could do something else. Something else should not be in my vocabulary....

So I somehow manage to finish work, play some ball, and waddle my a$$ over the the Honda dealership. Why? Because I'm bugging, yo. I really, really love the Disco, but I'll be damned if I enjoy throwing money into a black hole pot of money that provides no gurantee that something else won't happen to break or rust or wear-out or give way or leak on me next week. So I hit my man PAM earlier in the day to gie him a heads-up but I'll be damned if son don't have me waiting for a while. So after eating his lunch (fyi: the jerk chicken strips from Wing It in Allston are that next shT), we crunch some numbers and now I'm sitting here thinking long and hard about this shT.

Do I forsake the uniqueness of my beloved whip, sell my soul for a 401k, and cop an Accord like every 4th driver? Or do I put up a good fight and find a way to give the green light for the Disco's resuscitation? The clock is ticking. They'll start charging me more if I don't hurry up and call AAA to get them to tow it from their lot. This shT is really sucking right now. Fuq it...lemme go visit Nissan first. I got Maxima on mind. Camry too. Oddly enough, I feel like it's possible for me to get played either way. [insert gasface here]
