• Jeep – 4″ Superlift

  Date: 2008.11.23 | Category: Jeeping | Response: 0

  I had a long blog post about the 4″ Superlift for my Jeep. It included links to all sorts of things and detailed info.

  Then right before I was about to post the damn thing.. I hit the wrong button, and all that work is lost.

  Have some pictures:

  Mine probably won’t look as awesome as those Jeeps, but I’m going to try anyway. Should be done sometime in December.

  I’ll post tons of pics when the lift is done.

• Rabbit, Run – Saying the wrong thing

  Date: 2008.11.15 | Category: Books | Response: 0

  I’m reading John Updike’s Rabbit Run.

  It makes me think of a subject I’ve wanted to write about for a while now:

  Saying the wrong thing.

  Have you ever had a moment in a conversation where you knew exactly what the wrong thing to say was? The thing that would bring complete silence to the conversation, cause someone to cry, stop being friends with you, or even break up with you?

  It’s like walking by the fire alarm in a hallway. You know exactly what would happen if you pulled it, but you keep walking anyway – with the alarm unpulled.

  Not sure if other people have these same moments during the day. I have them constantly.

  Updike’s character Rabbit makes me thing of my impulses surrounding this.

  Whenever he’s in any sort of situation with girls he’ll ALWAYS say exactly the wrong thing. I’m interested to see how it turns out for him. I’m about 100 pages in now. Wish me luck.

  EDIT:
  That didn’t work out AT ALL for the guy. Looks like I learned an important lesson?
