Freewrite 1/28/2013

here comes another week. im broke until the end of this one. in fact i probably have about 7 dollars worth of change in three different pockets of my jacket #Loser. oh well. good times come and go. i plan on looking at some apartments this week so that will be nice. my calves went to auction yesterday so i should have a nice chunk of change to play with. haha someones phone just rang #Loser. anyway ive been trying to decide where i want to live but man that stuff is boring. and way too expensive. i cant decide if im excited about this writing assignmet or not. i suppose whether i am or not is irrelevant. got my math homework done last minute last night. thats a good time. its hard working full time and going to school full time. you have to make every minute of every day count toward something. i wish i didnt have to close tonight at work. i liked closing at my old store but here i dont much care for it. it gets so boring. from the time it gets dark till nine when we close we have less than ten customers. average around 6. i did stock a ton of merchendise last night so that kept me busy but theres only so much you can do. know what workd is fun to type??? power. like when i key in power steering line at work... power. i like it because the PO and WER are all together. man what am i gonna do for lucnh? i need to find a coinstar. has it been ten minutes yet?

Free Write 01/16/2013

woke up this mornig to find i dont hav to go to work this morning... made my day exponentially better. probably gonna go home and work on my car a little bit. i have a small coolant leak that ive been having a hard time tracking down. i wish i got paid today... theres a couple albums on itunes that i really want. all in good time i suppose. my girlfriend stefanies birthday is saturday and i have NO IDEA what to get her. she loves shoes though.... i just worry that ill pick some out that she doesnt like. found five bucks in the dryer this morning... #BurgerKingLunch. pretty stoked about that. why do i hear peter griffens voice in my head when i read my own writing? did you just go back and readd it in that voice? dont blame you.

has it been ten minutes yet? sure would like some breakfast.. dont have any clue what im gonna do between this class and my next. might try to read a magazine or something. i checked twitter already and theres not much to see. i wonder if im going to have a lot of homework for friday. im dreading the math homework. i hope its not a lot. i was reading in my business book last night and it said we are coming to the end of an era of service-based production and entering an era of information-based production... does that mean we're gonna go from jobs like nurses and chefs to just making up information to sell?... i could ddo that... i suppose it makes sense... we live in a much more liberal minded time than even just 10 years ago... i wonder whats gonna happen whith all the new gun control laws.. i feel like a civil war is innevitable withn the next four years of obamas presidency. and i feel like if it doesnt happen then it will happen when america elects another very left wing president after him... i just dont understand why people wont stand up for what the country was founded on, reffering to the second amendment. however why are guns more important than all of the other freedoms and liberties that they have slowly taken away up until now? why are gun control laws the eye opener?

i think its sweden or some country like that where every citizen is required to own and practice with a gun on a regular basis and their  crime rate is almost non-existant. who knows whats gonna happen...

Ethan Knapp - Introduction

     Hello, I'm Ethan. Born and raised here in the Ozarks in a small town called Cabool. If you were un-aware it existed I assure you, you haven't missed much. With a population not exceeding 2,300 it is a great place to stop for gas. When I graduated in May of 2012 I took the fall semester off and moved to Columbia MO with plans to begin school there in the spring semester, but found columbia just was not the place I wanted to be. I worked at O'Reilly Auto Parts while I was there and continued doing so when I moved to the Springfield area.

    Of all my interests music is what I am most passionate about. I was raised on it, taught by it, and enjoy playing it. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. I also love The Black Keys, All Time Low, Jack White, Fall Out Boy, Iron and Wine, and so many more. I have a very diverse interest in music as there are many kinds of artists I like to listen to, but relating to other people through music is a challenge for me because my views surrounding the subject are a little deep, or out there I suppose. For instance, I do not believe in musical genres. I only hear two kinds of music: music that touches the mind and music that touches the heart. Then there is great music with the ability to do both. However if it fails to do either it's probably crap.

    I am a huge comic book nerd. Spider-Man is my BRRROOOOOO  but I love anything Marvel. I am a big video game junky, or rather a connoisseur. Like I mentioned earlier I work for O'Reilly's so I am a  huge car guy. I drive a 1994 Mustang GT convertible that I have had since I was 16. It's silver and super loud. You can't miss it.
    Similar to music I try to understand cars on a deeper level. In my opinion anyone can build a small-block Chevy, but when you can discern what pistons to use with a 60cc combustion chamber to reach a  compression ratio of 10:1, or how much boost the stock rotating assembly can withstand in a 5.7L Hemi, you can go so much farther with it.

    Besides all of that though I'm just your average dude always getting into small town shenanigans with my buddies and working to make ends meet. I may seem quite un-approchable to most, but I assure you I'm always willing to lend a hand when it's needed. Having trouble getting the pics up right now #MacProblems
