    Much Needed
    What a great time for a Supra Meet. I've been so stressed these past few days. I dont' have anywhere to stay this summer and my time's running out. Hopefully something will come up and I can count on the person to let me stay there for a couple months. Anywho, I got to hang out with some great friends and cruise in the Supra. I wish Jackie was there to hang out because it reminded me how much fun we had at the Hogan meet. I had tons of fun and got to take tons of pictures which is my favorite.
    I finally put my stock exhaust on so now I don't have to worry about cops yellin at me = ) I'm getting my turbo back exhaust put on this Saturday. It consists of a 3" Defcon downpipe and a 3" N1 style muffler. It should look and sound great when it's done. My friend Leko is taking care of me with the welding. I also put in my Turbo Timer this week but I did a half ass job on it. I'll have it done tomorrow hopefully.

    Well, that's about all I've got right now. Wish me luck!

    Not cool
    What a day, I JUST found out that the place I was supposed to stay at for a couple of months is now up for rent. 2 days before I should have got the keys, I find out that it's been up for rent without me knowing. What a great way to put a huge damper on my week. Hopefully I can stay with a friend or find someone to help me out. I can't wait till I move into the new place with Jackie. It's going to be friggin great!

    What a Day
    Today I sold my 91 240SX and bought a 1991 Toyota Supra Turbo 5 speed with a Targa top. Believe it or not, this is my very first car with a Turbo! I've been reading and studying turbo's for years but have never had the priveledge to own one. Now I finnally get to put everything I know into practice. I dedicate this car to my lord and savior Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to even have a car! I'd like to turn this lj into more of a Car update log. If you don't like it man, you sniff glue

    W3rd
    Long time no see. It's been a hell of a semester and so many changes.......Again! I guess I'll start with the good news. First thing is that after thinking and praying about it for quite a while.....Me and Jackie have decided to move into an appartment together. Jack's moving to Tampa in August after she graduates and I'll be out of the dorms for fall so we decided to move in with each other. I can't wait until it happens, it's gonna be awesome. At first I wasn't so sure if it was a good idea but after a lot of thought and prayer, I'm positive that I want to do it.
    Work's a lot better nowadays. Eddie's retarded self is gone, and we got this guy name David to replace him. He's fresh outta Iraq so I guess I feel a little safer there lol. We also got this guy named Eric that transfered from another Advance. He starts next week. And finally we have another part timer that works weekends only! Thank God, maybe now I can have Sunday mornings off so me and Jackie can find a church!
    The bad news is that I'm not doing the greatest in class. I'm actually deliberating giving it another shot next fall or going to a tech school for a change. Who knows.......Well, God does I guess so I guess I'll have to keep talking until I find the answer.

    Anywho, this isn't good news or bad.......or new as a matter of fact but I'm still trying to find another Supra. I obviously can't afford a MKIV yet so I'm still in the MKIII market. I'm still yearning to actually OWN a turbocharged car. I always get messed with because I have such passion for turbos and the quest to fully understand and one day design my own Turbo. I've worked on PLENTY of Turbo'd cars, both stock and aftermarket Turbo cars, and I've also driven a billion of them too. I'm way overdue to own one myself so I can show others what I can do. Especially my Father. He's always been a fan of STOCK cars, but then again he's really into classic fully restored cars. I always try and explain what these cars are capable of but I've never been able to show him what I can do. Can't wait for that = P

    Until next time,
    Eli

    PS - just wanted to send my love and prayers to the Tyson family in their time of loss.

    Hey Kids
    Well today went pretty well. It started with some History and ended with some good ol' math (Yuck) Anywho, after class, Chris called me to ask for some help with his truck. He's got an Old School Mitsubishi Mighty Max with a Mitsubishi Starion Motor in it. On top of that, he's got a CT-26 Turbo from a mid 90's Toyota MR2. The turbo's been upgraded to a 60-1 trim which is pretty much the same set up as Jay's MK3. He was having a problem with losing coolant from the side of the block so he thought he blew a headgasket. Turns out that these Starions actually suffer from BHG as much as the MK3 Supras do. Whether or not it's due to the same factory problem as Toyota, I'm not so sure. Anywho, I went over to Campus Lodge where he lives and brought some tools over. I thought that he just needed to borrow them but I ended up leaving like 3 hours later. We ended up taking off the head and finding quite a few more problems then a BHG. Actually his Head Gasket was fine. Long story short, he need a new block or just has to machine the hell out of his existing block. I was glad to get my hands dirty again and tear down a car. Especially a DSM because I never really worked on one that in depth. He's a real cool kid and knows what he's talking about so that makes it that much more fun to hang out with him. Another good friend of his has a "500+hp" Eclipse GST. It's in the finishing stages right now but should be a monster when it's complete.
    I had a customer come in to Advance yesterday and as I was helping him he told me that he owns a Nissan 240SX like me. We got to talking and it turns out that he used to go to USF but left to go to a technical school off of Hillsborough and 22nd. It's called Erwin Tech and supposedly they have a great automotive program. Who knows what God has in store for me. It's tough when everyone tells you to follow your dreams but when they find out what my dream is I get a "ohh...." reaction. "What do you see yourself doing in 10 yrs Eli?" I would love to branch off of Road Tech Automotive and enter the performance tuning and installation world. "ohhh.....well that's nice." That's usually how people react to me. I know that it would be hard as hell and most people fail but geesh, look at how many people say they want to be a Doctor. Some people do and others don't. It just takes experience to determine whether or not it's for you. I'm faced with a lot right now but I won't let it get to me. I've never been happier and I'm actually glad that I'm having trouble deciding what to do with my life rather than having to worry about other random bs. God's been great to me and I can't wait to see what his plan is for my life.
    Thanks again for letting me vent live journal = P

    I Love My Life
    Life is so cool sometimes. One day everything is going great, then the other day it all goes to hell. That's the beauty of it. Once you learn that you're not totally 100% in control and you learn to deal with it, life turns into a game. You have to figure out what you have to do to get what you want. It's a game of trial and error. All the bs and heartbreak you go through is all for a reason. It's to show you where to go, and what to do/not do. It's kind of like a map that you leave for your kids or friends in the future. Your life turns into knowledge for you to use and share. I've learned quite a bit these past few months about friendship and taking care of your own. Friends are great and all but when it comes down to it, you just have to take care of yourself first. You can spend a lot of your life trying to help your friends and help them out, but in the end you can end up with a big mess in your lap. Sometimes I wonder if I try too hard to fix other peoples problems. When I hear about someones issue, I tend to live it. In other words, I tend to get so involved in the matter that I forget about my life. I think it's time to rethink the way I do things like that. I'll still be there for everyone but damn, I need to be me too.
    Anywho
    Things with Jackie are going great as always. I got to hang out with her for another Super Bowl which is always awesome. We went to Floto's moldy appt for the night then watched Greg the Bunny till we fell asleep. This year's going to be like no other in my life. It's going to be great though. I'm so grateful for her. When my nasty ass roomates left the kitchen a complete mess, she came and cleaned the whole thing for me. She's so considerate and loving in everything she does.
    Well, I'm gonna cut this one short here and hopefully post sometime soon again. SEE YA

    "Keep This Guy In Line" -Hulk Hogan to Jackie
    Man, what an AMAZING weekend I had. First of all, I got to see Jackie again. Well on Friday, Jackie, Jayson, and I got to go hang out with a butt load of Supra owners in Clearwater all day. There were a few in particular that you may know. Terry "Hulk", Nick, Linda, and Brooke Hogan. The meet was for the taping of the new VH1 reality show "Meet The Hogans." The day started off with Jackie coming over, then meeting Jon (MKIV) for lunch at the cafeteria. After that, we headed to Floto's to meet with Jay so we could ride out together. When we got there Jayson had just figured out one of the reasons he couldn't hold any boost, but we didn't have the cupling to fix it. No problem, we just couldn't boost that much on the way out there. After about 45 mins or so we finally got to Clearwater where we met about 15 other Supras in a Hotel parking lot. It was right on the beach so it was naturally a beautiful scene. After 20 mins or so after arriving, we hear the loud rumble of about 5 more Supras including Nick Hogans 911hp MKIV and Matt's 1,147hp QS MKIV. Carlos and Jay were in the batch too but who's looking at them when you have over 2,000hp with just the first 2 cars, lol. Anywho, after they arrived and the VH1 crew shot some footage, we headed out to Sand Key for a more personal setting I guess. Once we got there we all parked and began to hang out when all of a sudden, the F'in Meter Maid starts giving tickets! Luckily the only one to get a ticket was an Eclipse = ) After the second spot, we all made our way to Quaker Steak off of 49th. On the way there was the one death of the meet....Jay's umteen year old Lightning hat. That's what you get for standing up out of the targa while I'm going 50+! When we get to Quaker Steak, there's a huge section blocked off just for us. Once we park, a friend Chris had an extra cupling for the Supra which fixed the problem, so big props to him. During the whole Quaker Steak meet, the VH1 guys were taping and the Hogans had their "dialogue" so we really didn't get to talk to them too much. A couple hours into the meet, Linda Hogan comes up to us and says, "Guys, if you're hungry, our family wants you guys to get WHATEVER you want on the menu as long as it's not alcohol. Just enjoy yourselves!" How amazing is that?? I mean, you figure 30 or so Supras, with at LEAST 2 people in them. That's a lot of people! Now I know their filthy rich but still, that's so awesome of them. They didn't have to do that at all. So after dinner, we go back out to the lot to hang out some more when the Hogans come up to us yet again and say, "OK guys, we're getting ready to head out of here so now's the time to show us whatcha got under the hood." Basically the VH1 guys were lined up at the exit and we all did massive burnouts on the way out. It was so awesome hearing Jay's turbo spool up after the fix. I'm glad Jackie survived my grand exit = ) So after the meet, we meet up with Jeremy, Five, Chris and Kelly, and get some gas. After filling up, we finally got a hold of the MKIV guys that we lost due to getting gas. We met them in a little hole in the wall gas station a little ways from where we were. When we got there we met up with Nick and Hulk, Ryan, Jake, Carlos, and the gang. This time, there were NO cameras and we were all just hanging out and shootin' the shit with each other. Hogan really opened up when we started talking about his Dodge Charger, lol. After we all got gas, Hogan told us to follow him. We started driving then eventually started turning down local redidential streets. I'm like, "Is he seriously taking all of us to his house?" Sure enough, this guy not only fed us at the meet, but he was having us over for MILK AND COOKIES! Holy crap man, this guy is amazing! When we get there he opens his gates and lets ALL of us but 3 park in his driveway......yeah, it's that huge. After we all got out and he showed us some of his bikes, Linda starts to blast music and tell us to come in. This place is a friggin CASTLE. He takes us for a tour of the place and then we end up in his air conditioned garage which holds his pride and joy....His Charger. It's got a 528 Hemi with 723RWHP! Damn this thing is sick. All original including stickers and seats. That car is just SICK! (yeah I said it twice) After drooling over that and his 500hp golf cart, we go inside to eat cookies and drink some milk which is Jackie and mine's favorite thing in the world. As we're eating I take Jackie to this huge door on the side of the living room which looks out onto his $2million dollar pool and his outrageous view of the clearwater skyline. Oh yeah btw....I used Hulks bathroom even though I felt unworthy! So after all of that, Linda brings out the family video camera and asks us our name so she can remember us for the next meet! Unbelievable. So after ALL of that, it was finally time to go. As we walked out, I shook Hogans hand and told him how much I appreciated him and his family for everything and he smiled at me and said "cool man, no problem at all. All my pleasure" Then Jackie gets to say goodbye and he says, "Keep this guys in line" lol. What a Supra meet. I'll never forget that day and now have a WHOLE new respect for this family. I'm so greatful for the Supra community. It's brought me some real genuine friends that I hope to keep for a lifetime. I'm so glad I got to spend that day with great people and with my beautiful Jackie.
    Until next time,
    Eli

    Whatcha Gonna Do....When The Hulkster Comes For YOU
    Hey guys,
    long time no talk as usual. Once the site went down I lost all concentration on posting but I'm back with some cool stuff. School's been going pretty well with the exception of me getting hella sick and missing a few days. I'm extremely thankfull for awesome understanding professors who let me miss without penalty or a hard time! Today's Friday and I've been waiting for this Friday for quite a while now. Today me, my ol' lady, and Jay are meeting up with about a hundred other Supra owners to tape an episode of "Meet The Hogans" for VH1. Terry "Hulk" Hogan's son Nick is on a popular Supra forum that I've been on for about 3 years now and announced that today, VH1 is going to be shooting for a new reality show all about the Hogan family. Why a Supra meet? Well, He owns a 911hp MKIV Supra that's just gorgeous. He's really into the Supra community too so I think it's awesome that he's doing this. I just got a new Sony Cybershot 5.1m so I'll be taking plenty o' pix. Last night me, Jay, and Floto went to the top of the USF parking garage and snapped some pics of Jay's MKIII. Some came out a little blurry due to my newbie photography skills but on the other hand, there were some AMAZING pics that came out of it too. One of which is now my desktop = ) I had a blast last night taking pics and I'd love to do more cars! I could have stayed there all night taking pics, but we were too anxious to see what they looked like in their actual size so we came back in and checked them out. If anyone wants to see some of them, just let me know and I'll gladly share. But anywho, It's time to wake up and get ready for today. The wonderful Jackie is on the way from gainesville right now so that makes today even better!
    Until next update,
    Eli

    Day Two And All Is Well
    Yo!
    Well, day two of school is over and I'm still alive. I have a big load of classes this semester and starting to get a little nervous. I know I can do it and I NEED to do it so it's not too bad. I have class with Floto for the first time so that should be interesting. I've had 2 other online classes with him before but now we're in the same classroom so that should be hilarious. I've got a pounding headache because I've been reading a book that has NOTHING to do with cars, turbo's, or paintball. It's a hard life I tell ya, and I don't know how you guys do it! Anywho, I'm missing my girlfriend pretty badly these days (Love ya Jack ; ) I can't wait for her to be here, it's going to be awesome. We always have a great time when she's here. There's so many beautiful parts of Tampa that I can't wait to show her and experience with her. But anywho, I'm dead tired and am going to head back to bed. I actually was there already but forgot to update = P
    Have an awesome night,

    First Day Of Class
    Hey kids!
    Well today went well. I spent about 35 mins total in class today which is always great. It was just the ol' "hi class, all we're gonna do today is go over the syllabus and call roll." So anyway, after class I stopped by the Rush table to see how that was going. This semester, National wants us to bring in a class of 62! That's way to friggin much if you ask me. We're losing about 40 people this semester but damn, I don't really think that we have to compensate that much. After all that I went to the Bookstore so I could finish getting the things I needed including a Swingline stapler.....yeah you know you want one. Later on I met up with Karen and Scott and we went to the Mall to walk around, then went to EB Games so Scott could score some SNES games. After that we finished up our little outing with a trip to Starbucks. Now I'm sitting here at the dorm waiting for Jay to give me some cash so I can pay my bills that have stacked up since Christmas. Man....I need a job!
    Talk to ya later,

    Hey guys,
    Man it's been a while and so much has gone on. Made a few extra friends since my last entry and also became closer to a long lost trombone player from MHS. I'll keep this one short since I'm still in the process of moving my stuff in. I am now unemployed and I thought I'd love it when I quit. I'm quickly finding out that it's not as glorious as I thought it would be. I just can't sit around, it kills me. I may be going back to work if they give me the right money, but I also applied at NAPA. I just put in the application but when I got there to fill it out I got the wierdest feeling. When I started at Advance, I kinda got the same feeling. During the first 4-6 months, I had to pretty much prove myself. I was the youngest kid there, and I loved imports. Basically I was the exact opposite of everyone else there. I was there for a total of eleven months and in that time things changed quite a bit. My co-workers began to count on me and I befriended pretty much all of them except for my manager Richard. That's the main reason why I left. I was screwed pretty hard by him but never really told any of my co-workers what was going on. After I left people started figuring out what was going on and got pissed. My assistant manager Larry, (a GREAT person and true friend) went to the District Manager and bitched at them for letting all the crap happen to me without stepping in. We'll see what happens I guess. Before I just wanted to thank Scott, Chelsea (sp) Karl, Jared, Chad, Lori, Holly, Jenna, and whoever else was involved for letting me, Jay, Floto, and Jackie hang out on New Years.
    To a great new year,
    Eli

    Happy
    Well, tonight I got to go down to Bradenton with Floto to see Ashley. My relationship with Ash is going on 8 years strong now. When I first met her I was starting 7th grade. We went to the same church and had quite a few similar interests. Obviously as time went on, I grew attracted to her but keep in mind, I was still a youngin. Once the high school time came around, my attraction to her dwindled and I came to know Ashley as my sister. She was going through extremely rough times and all she had was me. Vice versa. As high school went on things changed even more for us. She found her love, and I found mine. Well, I'm about to start my sophmore year at USF, and Ashley's about to give birth to a baby girl. As you can see we're both very different people, but I'll always be there for her. It may be hard for people to understand my feelings for her. They might think that I'm trying to "hook up" with her or that I still have feelings for her. The honest to God truth is...........I love Ashley, and I ALWAYS will, BUT....I'm not IN love with her. I have FOUND my other half in this world. God has blessed me with a beautiful young woman by the name of Jackie. I'm so in love with her, without her I'm NOTHING. So as for Ash, She's pretty much my flesh and blood. I'll do anything for her whenever she needs it. I'm so happy that I got to see her, and I can't wait to meet her baby girl.

    Friday Morning at 1AM....
    Man I hate my conscience. Sometime I really wonder if there's a little devil inside of me trying to get me to take the easy way out. School is a great thing. College is awesome too. I see school as a way out of working at some fast food restaurant for the rest of my life. Man I'm rambling. Here goes my point.....I hate math, but yet I want to be a business major. What the hell am I supposed to do? OK, so why do I want to be a business major you ask? Why don't I just change? Well I wanted to do business because I want to know how to manage my shop when I open it. That is, if that's what happens. Then after USF, I have to get ASE certified. Which then brings on my next point. I wish I could just leave USF with some bs degree and have no pressure and enjoy these years in college. Then after that I would get my certifications through work. Then after that I'd work on opening my shop while still working at Advance. By then I should DEFINITELY be on management. But like all things, I may change my mind. I wish I could just be with Jackie. Maybe if she were here in Tampa with me, I'd be ten times better at school. She influences me in such a positive way. I can't wait to see what God has planned for her. "The closer I come to you, the closer I am to finding God, You're a miracle to me" That's a good way to sum up my relationship with Jackie. As you can see I'm jumping around and probably not making any sense so I guess it's time to get some sleep. Anyone want to tutor me in math? I'll pay ya in gum and car parts.

    Told Ya So.....
    Hey guys, it's been quite a while since I've actually posted what's been on my mind so here we go. Let's see, where do I start? Well, the last time I wrote was when the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Cup. Since then, life has just been a blurr. Me and Jay got to go party with the guys at the Forum celebrating the win. Then things at work started getting interesting. Josh, our assistant manager, was asked to step down and take over the Commercial Account. That's when the "crap" hit the fan. Within a month or two, Josh had enough and quit. It was a bittersweet loss for me. Josh was the one who took me under his wing and trained me and he was also the only other person other that me that watched Chappelle show. I am glad that he left though. He was getting treated like crap and was doing way more than he was supposed to be doing and not getting any praise for it. Then the newest addition to work just quit too. Jeff started about a month or so after I did and it turns out we had a lot in common. It's always good to make friends at work because you never know when you need someone to cover you because the Lightning are in friggin GAME 7! Anywho, this month sucked at work. With Josh and Jeff gone, and Richard and Amy on vacation, and Geoff in the Army, it left Me, Keith and Mike to step up and run things. Can you say overtime? With me being there pretty much everyday, I also got to start new relationships with customers. I'm actually getting people calling me at work for help. It's so awesome to be asked for by name....Yeah I'm a nerd but oh well.
    Now for a change of pace. Things have never been better with me and Jackie. She's so awesome. Now that she's in her last year at UF and me in my second year at USF, we've definitely grown in our own way. The amazing thing is that we haven't grown apart. We just click on so many levels it's just scary. She means so much to me and she's always there. It's hard to believe that in December we will have been together for three years. Since being with her my life has changed so much. Before I was dating her I was getting tickets for street racing and not concentrating on school at all. She's such a role model to me. She's so strong and smart and beautiful and just everything to me. She's went through a hard time last month with school but she's still pushing forward. What's cool is that I was the first one she called when things went wrong. She trusts me and that's amazing. I only hope that I don't disapoint her. I don't think that will happen because I try to base my decisions in life on her words. I just wanted to thank you Jack. You're my life and I appreciate everything you do and appreciate who you are.
    Music has come back to save me recently. My passion for playing a live show has come back to me three fold. Playing Sax? Hell no. I loved playing Jazz and stuff in high school but it's not my true passion. Anytime I daydream about playing, it's always on the drums. I always find myself tapping and playing my steering wheel like a snare while driving. Safe? No. Is it me? Yep. Story of The Year has quickly climbed up the ranks on my favorite band list. I also recently bought Coheed and Cambria's latest. Pretty good but it just reminds me of the local scene, which isn't a bad thing. I saw Thrice finally. That was an awesome show. They're awesome and very genuine people. Dashboard Confessional followed them and that was a good time as always. I heard Chris curse for the first time. He got pissed at some homo that was flicking him off the whole show so he let it all out on him towards the end of the show. God bless him ; )
    Well, now that we're semi-caught up, I'll let you know what's on the calender for the rest of summer. Linkin Park is coming back to Tampa so I'll definitely go to that with Floto and whoever decides to join. Me, Jay, and Floto are also probably going to hit up the Keys in a couple of weeks for a few days of R&R since we'll be done with school and stuff. I also have to decide once and for all if I plan on going extreme with my 240 or just continue to save what I can for a new car. and by new car I mean a Scion Tc or my "Pipe Dream" Toyota Supra TT.
    Well thanks for listenin' to me go on about myself.

    It's been WAY to long since I've posted anything, so I figured I should get on it. But I'll go more in depth tomorrow on the last month that's gone by. Until then, GO BOLTS!!!

    We Are The Champions...
    June 7, 2004. Mark it!! The day the Lightning showed the country and the world that we CAN PLAY HOCKEY!!! Stanley Cup Champions baby! Congrats to my boys for beating Calgary 2-1 last night. While the ticket cost me 240 bucks, it was well worth it! I had the most fun and emotional night last night in a long time. With about 2 minutes left in the 3rd period, they showed a clip from miracle on the big screen that got my pretty misty eyed. It was the scene where Herb has a talk with the team before they take on the Soviets in the Olympics. It went along with the "It's Our Time" theme of the series. I've never been in such a loud place in my LIFE. In case you've never been to a game there, the forum has a decible meter to see how loud it gets and last night we hit about 130dbs. That's darn loud folks, but you know what? I loved it. Every ear piercing second of it.
    After all of the madness, we (Me, Jackie, Floto, and Jay) went to Steak N Shake for some post game goodies. After that, we all passed the hell out at the appt. I was in a deep sleep for the first time in a few weeks. I needed that. I also got to wake up next to my girl which is always great. I love her so much, and I'm so glad I got experience game 7 right next to her.
    Well that's all I've got in me tonight because I'm exhausted!

    G'night kids, and GO BOLTS!!!

    Friends
    Tonight I get to go to Game 7 with the coolest friends on the planet. Yeah, going to game 7 alone would still be cool but who wants to do that? Who's hands are you gonna slap each time Brad Richards scores on Miika? Tonight Jay, Bill, Jackie and I will be there as the lord Stanley's Cup is passed over to the winning team. That's an expierience in it's own. Anywho, a special thanks to Mike and Jeff at work for covering me tonight as I was supposed to work 5-9. They know how much this means to me and I appreciate that extremely. They also know that I DEFINITELY would not show up even if they didn't cover me.
    I saw Mean Girls last night with the coolest girl on the planet, Jackie. The movie was pretty good, but it reminded me a LOT of Manatee High. All the trash talking, and behind the back BS that goes on. The girls in the movie are pretty hot though I must say...For my bro's out there, if you think Lindsey L's hot, wait till you see this flick. Well before I talk myself into trouble, I'll leave you with a huge
    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLTTTTSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
    Let's KEEP the cup here boys!

    Unreal.....
    Wow, I don't even know how to start this one. I actually don't have enough time to talk about anything much because I'm off to Gainesville for a date with a beautiful, intelligent young lady named Jackie! She's my girl and I finally get to spend the night with her.

    About last night, I'd like to thank Dan and Jacalyn for coming out to hang with me at Beef's. Dan, it was definitely our energy that made Martie score the winner. And of course we all know that God loves the Lightning too!

    Well folks, with tonights win I am able to go to game 7 with Floto, Manny, and Jay. Here we go.........Balls to the wall!
