Car Crap? Who Wants Titles Anyways?

So $150 dollars and three days and the end of a long work day later, my car finally has good breaks front and rear. Well I took the rotors back, but I had to buy a new caliper. The pads and shoes, drums, and hardware for the rear breaks are brand new. Oh are you wondering why it took me so long for the project? I spent a good many of hours trying to get the drums off. Usually there is a hole in the back-plate so you can get to an adjuster and loosen the pads. Not on my car. So after a good amount of cutting, prying, breaking and beating I was able to get the dang things off! I also had to replace a wheel cylinder, but the one I replaced on someone else’s car was the same size (this is the only time you will ever hear me thank GM). I just needed to rebuild it and I was thankful for that. Since I didn't have a car at the time, it also provided me with time to spend with my dad. I also replaced my dash display recently. That was also quite an adventure. Anyways, I had to have something to write.

The One Thing by Paul Colman

Here I am
In a rever of questions
Can I pour my heart out to a listening ear?
I see this life
It's valleys and mountains
And I think of al the roads that brought me here

I've questioned my reasons
The life I'm living
I've questioned my ability
To judge wrong from right
I've questoined all the things that I've ever called certain
My race, my religion, my country, my mind

But the one thing I don't question is you
You really love me like you say you do
Hold me

I've questioned significance
Meaning and relevance
Does the work I'm doing really matter at all?
Well I've questioned my friendships
Alliance dependence
Who will still be here when I fall?

Only one thing doesn't change
Only one thing stays the same
All I know at the end of the day is your love remains

But the one thing I don't question is you
You really love me like you say you do
Hold me

When question everything and I strip it all down to the most basic; what matters most. Then I see what I truely believe, the most important people in my life, and my sustenance. Then life is more simple, easier to live life with the people that matter most, rely on the God, and give up all else.
