Chin Up

There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.  I've yet to be blinded by the sun's rays, but I must say things are looking up.  The light source being closer to a travel size Mag Light rather than glimmering shimmering sunlight.  After you go through a series of unfortunate events (see previous blogs), in a theraputic effort, friends quote countless lessons learned from books like "Chicken Soup For The -insert appropriate- Soul", and explain that things will be that much better after it's all over with.  I don't necessarily think that this is true, however I do believe that people grow from hardship and that graditude is built from loss.  Perception is realigned and breezing through a green light in 5:00 traffic becomes a tiny blessing that you choose to recognize.  Blah blah blah.... It's gotten quite old talking about losing my *** and wrecking my *** and losing my *********.  I'd rather talk about something much betta....

I got my new car.  My 98 Passport is completely new to me.  I specifically didn't want an SUV or a silver or gold car.  Well, the Passport is silver.  None of this really matters anymore though - it was a great deal and is perfect for carting around a massage table.  I DO feel a little badass in it because of the size, but that's along with every other soccer mom that drives a 4-runner, Yukon, CRV or whathaveyou.  The car buying experience went by pretty smoothly,  myself attempting to appear as a real grown up, fully knowledgable of car purchase protocol.  The seller's name was "Haroon".  He was a very nice guy, and he let me slash the price a bit.  I've always named my cars- first car was a mercedes by the name of Adolf, and the second was Boris the black jetta.  Boris was named after the car salesman, a dark skinned man of Russian decent.  Boris (the man) was short and portly with a kind demeanor.  In honor of him, the jetta was deemed Boris.  Haroon was a nice man yes, but it just doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "Boris".  I thought of honoring the jetta by naming new car "Natasha", but it's just too long.

Any suggestions?  *A Passport looks just like an Isuzu Rodeo with an "H" where the Isuzu emblem would go.
