Lifes ups and downs(sorry kinda long)

explicitone · 06-24-2002, 12:56 PM

as of late things have sucked so bad I cant stand it just to think of the things I have lost over the last 4yrs. in 98 my wife and I split,in 99 I lost my 95GT which was getting to be where I wanted it( I let a buddy drive it and a lady cut him off and he hit a parked camaro and totaled both cars) and I lost my job that I had been at for 3yrs (I was only 21 ) then I start getting things back togather and in2001 my girl left me for a drunk and a month later someone hit my blue 87 lx and ran and the cops never found them so the ins. company would not cover the cost so I had to write it off as a lost cause. then I lost my job again and I still dont have one that was in dec. it almost seems that no one around here is hiring ever since the 9/11 crap. but things are starting to look up I found a girl that loves cars almost as much as me her car of choice is a honda (well no ones perfect) she likes to go to the track and wants to run her car but she wants me to ride with here the first time down the track so she dont make any stupid mistakes like staging the rear tires etc..etc.. my white 87lx is starting to come togather slowly . sorry so long but I just need to share a little with someone before I blew up and I wanted to THANK YOU GAYS?GALS for all the help you have given me over the last 4yrs (I had a few other srceen names (terribleone,streetfreak and one more but I cant remember it ) once again THANKS and I hope I have been able to help a few of you

elipicitone:

Life certainly does have it's highs and lows, as you've learned over the past few years.

I'm truly sorry for your losses (jobs, girl, cars) and we can all sympathize with you on the hurt and frustration of those losses.

On the plus side you're seeing a girl who shares your interests (and hopefully, your values) and your Mustang is slowly evolving into where you want it. Thats a good thing.

Things can get rotten and stay there but as long as we're living they can and usually always do get better. Not always how we expect or on our personal timetable but things do improve, sometimes drastically.

I'm glad they're improving for you and hope we've can continue to be of some help to you in the future, whatever the subject.

Thanks for your post.

Man, I'm sorry to hear about your recent run of bad luck, but that actually increases the odds that the next few years will be better than normal! Just be yourself, and good things will find you. It really is kinda amazing how that works!

Take care,
-Chris

I've been on the roller coaster from hell for the past ooo 25yrs as well. LOL.

I know how it can be. Just gotta keep going, knowing that eventually the law of averages has to work, right?

joe4speed · 06-24-2002, 08:02 PM

I am with you... Starting last year with my Fathers death, then my grandmothers death, then losing my job, then going bankrupt, and now losing the love of my life. I hope things get better for you, try to keep your chin up, I'm trying to do the same. Good luck.
