Where do I begin?

My car's engine is overheating as of late. As of this writing it is dark outside, but when there is some light out I will have a look under the hood. Take the car away from me, and you have basically sucked the life out of high school sports coverage plans. The days of riding my bike to Morrison just aren't back right now. That's where I plan on going on Friday afternoon, for a football game against Newman.

Saturday's plans to cover the Byron Power Classic are also in jeopardy, unless I find another vehicle. And this is very unlikely, I'd have to tap into some important agendas to accomplish that.

But at this point, I don't mind being stalled. This I would hope gives me some time to fix everything that is going on.

Then with even slightly thinking about missing such big events has me thinking of other journalists trying to destroy NISB, the very thing I love to do and is keeping my spirits alive.

Then I think of this decision I made to switch my Fridays and Saturdays as off-days for work. I'm missing more football games this way in an attempt to jump start Saturday stuff. Things at work, well, have just become nothing more than a big dead end lately.

Back to my car, it's been having brake issues as of late. I think I need new pads and the rotors either turned or replaced. Now an oil change has crept up.

All of this costs money, which I happen to be very reluctant to spend in the first place. I already have a website to take care of, and now all of this? I had planned on buying a dresser for my clothes (because I do not have one); and that is now on the backburner - and for how long, I don't know. Heck, I've already had to push back continuing college studies because of money issues.

Not to mention this on top of all of the other standard difficulties of conversation, love and friendships.

The head just keeps spinning.
