Thanks, my firends.

Yeah, I know. I think I had a frustrating day. I do like being able to buy a $2K lens or PSS or Koni whenever the mood strikes. :icon17:

Houston is still a 3 hour drive for me. And the roads are crappy. I might drive up to DFW for a weekend getaway soon.

At the end of the day, we need money. Simple as that.
How much you need depends on what truly makes you happy. Whether your happiness comes in the form of material things, self fulfillment or benevolence is up to you.
Ideally, you'd have a balance. That's what I'm striving for! :tiphat:

Money does not make me happy. Having enough of it reduces stress levels and worry. Having more than "enough" allows me to indulge a little. That is not real happiness though.

My happiness -- actual happiness -- comes from love from and of others. I know that is corny, but it is true. It also comes from accomplishments (in my mind, not others') and doing good works. Simple.

Oh yeah, my Konis, Swifts and PSS make me happy too.

I tell you what; photography school is looking better and better. All this work, effort, stress and hostility for what?

It becomes bigger than us as people; more important than process improvement or value-adding. Forget about following SOP's forget about the fact that there is such a thing as capacity and it is usually finite. Let's SELL SELL SELL SELL!!!!

Yippee. Let's all hold hands, exchange nice flowery talk about value propositions, competitive advantages, customer-facing collateral and go-forward marketing strategies in our business ecosystems. It makes me want to stick a fork in my eye sometimes.

I seriously did not want to grow up and be doing this. Screw the paycheck, profit-sharing and 401(k). I have become that which I rallied against when I was young and idealistic. I am a sell out just like The Who – licensing their songs for TV.

That’s all for now. Sorry for the rant. I got my therapist’s voicemail just now.

I'm going to be ordering a front lip soon... Trying to decide haha

Evo-R lip is out of stock...Possibly thinking of the CarbonSignal TS FRP front lip..Hmm with or without fang cover?

i know the first picture is CF.. but use your imagination

I gotta be honest: I think the Evo-r lip looks way better, but that's just my opinion. :tup:

Being wealthy has nothing to do with having money necessarily; it's being able to make choices.

On that note, let's enjoy some water beading wax porn:

That's actually not true, I'm sorry to say. The VVEL engine is designed in such a way that the throttle is wide open and the air intake amounts is controlled at the intake valves by the VVEL system continuously controlling the valve lifts and duration.

Mr.onzedge, I am sorry to hear the stress and pissed-off you get from work. Sadly but it is true, ideality and reality are always goes against each other and sometimes we have to cope with it and try to find the balance point between the two, at least to make ourselves happy and relieved.


We tried our best and effort, the rest is not in our hands but at least we max out with no regrets!!


Head's up and who the hell care about those sh!t heads!!! F@@k them!! LOL :bowrofl::bowrofl:


O.F.C.!!!!!

Meanwhile, is there anything better than going to see The Wall with my number one ex (kid's Mom), my two sons (still not proven in a court of law), an almost daughter-in-law and my wife? Not exactly a Norman Rockwell painting, but...

Blurgh! Sounds like youre not quite pleased with what you do buddy. It's time for a change. What exactly is it that you do? I know you've told me, and I vaguely recall that it has to do with the technical world...but refresh my memory. :)

And oh! I'm power reading to catch up folks, so please forgive the delayed reactions! :tup:
