100,000 miles

This one might not be so ambiguous...The ones to come will be...That is a promise...

I took my last shot with the San Francisco shot glass...

Why do I have such difficulty with saying goodbye?

That is who I am and I can't help it.

It is so important to keep things in perspective... On so many levels...

Generous. Patience. Gratitude. Self-restraint.

My car reached a milestone today. In order to understand this fully you will have to look at my pictures that I'm not so certain I will be sober enough to upload at this time. 100k miles.

So, I will tell you the story...

I decided that it was imperative that I get my hair cut today due to the split-end problem and the excessively long hair issues as of late. That being said, I proceeded to go and have my hair trimmed. The wonderful lady, whom I tipped well, actually cut a little too much off today, thus leaving me looking like a skank. Anyways, it's all good. My hair grows at a rapid rate.

I will not complain since she has a knack for making my hair straight and silky. I, however, am incompetent when it comes to such things...I am incompetent in so many areas...

I just took my last shot of sake that you left me...

Anyways, good times, ...

I proceeded to drive home. Immediately, my attention was drawn to my odometer. A panic rose inside of me. My odometer read 99,995 miles. Do you understand how close that is to 100,000 miles?

I proceeded to drive home with one eye on the road and the other on the odometer while silently hoping that I had less than 5 miles left in my journey home. This sense of urgency continued as I passed my bank and my Shell station that has become my new gas destination. I had a great desire to document this milestone. My car is aging. 100,000 miles. It's time for a new timing belt people...

It is time to replace the parts that might be worn and weary...(that is cryptic people!)

In an effort to make a long story short, I made it. I ran inside and I retrieved my outdated camera from my desk. I drove around my apartment complex and I took pictures as the numbers slowly changed from 99,999 to 100,000.

I don't want to miss a thing. I am awake...

My neighbor was outside doing weird things with his water hose when I believe he saw me circling around the neighborhood taking multiple pictures of my Honda. I believe he might think I am odd. I think he is odd as well...In times like these there is no need to be insecure. No one really cares anyway...

All in all, it has been a good day...
