Post

I've been away from here for a long time other than a couple of random posts here and there. As far as what I've been up to... I've fallen into the Disc Jockey world and been DJing a lot of parties, weddings here and there, and a couple of clubs. Any of the locals that have been to Cloud 9 or The 6 Ultra Lounge recently may have seen me in the booth.

I work at a Honda dealer here during the week and then my Fridays and Saturday nights are spent DJing. I make double the money on Friday and Saturdays that I do during the regular work week. I have no complaints! I still take pictures here and there, but I don't have as much fun with it as I used to. I guess it was more of a hobby than something I could see being a job or career.

My Mom recently made the move from California back to Indiana, so I officially have no family back west anymore. My Grandpa is still around, struggling with his health but is still mobile and in good spirits.

I still have the Titan. No mods at all so far. However I do plan on giving it a slight drop to reduce the awful wheel-gap in the back and bring it down a bit in the front. This will also make things easier when I load my heavy DJ equipment on the truck, as I won't have to lift as high. I'm also looking to get new wheels and tires soon. I just want to steer clear of the traditional black dude in a truck = gotta have 24" chrome and tintS (I know it's tint!) look. If you remember the cars I've had in the past, you know I like to keep it looking sporty, yet classy and subtle.

I'm going to try to stop through more often and hopefully attend a few meets and such in '10!

Damn Ev, about time you popped back in here. I don't think that I am cool enough to go to either of the two clubs you work at, but I think I can handle a Honda dealer. You at Penske? Let me know and I'll swing by sometime. I have plenty of time on my hands.

Hey Evan! I haven't been to a meet in a while either, probably not since 2007. I heard that Greg turned into Gandalf , Wes grew some facial hair, and Matt grew mullet. Just rumors.

I was just in Indiana two days ago. Welcome back.

I'm actually at Indy Honda on the South Side. Are you not at Lockhart anymore?

LOL! I think 07 was the last time I made it to a meet too. But I'm definitely looking to attend a few next year and do some catching up.

I have beer for whomever gets Nicole back in the fold again. Her and Carlos. Carlos is a cool mufukka. Don't forget about the OG BG crew (Nichols, Ben, etc.).

Evan, I'll try and slide by your store sometime soon. I am no longer at Lockhart. Long story, will bring you up to speed over chicken and beer. Maybe some rib tips, whatever.

How about you spare giving the beer to someone else Repo and just give it to me when I show up? HAHA! I was just talking about this the other day with Carlos actually. I miss hanging out with everyone and have been wondering how everyone has been.

I drive through Indy at least 2-3 times a month. I am usually through there after work on Friday nights then back through in the wee hours of Monday morning on the way to work. Would everyone be interested in getting something put together for the near future? With the weather we can't do much outside but we could still hang out at BW's or something.

BTW Are any of you thinking of going up to Carlisle in May? I am thinking about it, just gotta talk Chris into it
