it's been 7 weeks..this block is 6 weeks long. GF goes to Missou....oh welll...we'll see how the LDR thing is gonna work out

if she were here, i'd spend way more time doing that than this studying....i've slept about 4 hours the past 3 nights preparing for an exam which was today (tuesday) and two tomorrow (wednesday)......and that's after studying about 8 horus a day after class and 10-12 a day on weekends. i literally have NO life right now. i guess that's what you get when your pace is more than double that of other medical schools. F.....

A lot of Houston C32 members that contributed quite a bit are gone.
I just about graduated from college, I still need one more class.
I got married
My car turned 140k
Met a few new friends


Jturkel, if you ever get a chance, you should come out with us. I'm sure you'll have a blast. I am a bit boring, but you'll be entertained by Chris, he's the funny one.

We need to gather up all the Mbwolrd members in Houston, like we did a few years back.

I think Dr. Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters said it best :

[T]his city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions!

Mayor:
What do you mean "biblical"?

Dr. Raymond Stantz:
What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. Real wrath of God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!

Dr. Egon Spengler:
Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, and volcanos!

Winston Zeddemore:
The dead rising from the grave!

Dr. Peter Venkman: (Bill Murray)
Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

and to follow up on the Birght side of things, To quote Dr, Venkman again


"Dr. Peter Venkman:

We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft is okay. He's a sailor, he's in New York. We get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble.

The fact that you are quoting directly from Ghostbusters and you actually remember the cast clearly reveals your true age.
You should have chimed in on the other active thread as they have no seniors in that poll.
How bout some quotes from Tootsie?

I'm definitely down, but I doubt I'll run my car, I have some pending repairs that need to be done before I'm ready, not too mention some pending upgrades. I think if we planned it a few weeks to a month in advance it may be a better idea.

We could also do the next cars and coffee, apparently the one coming in october is going to be a good one. They are suppose to be bringing some pretty rare cars to show.
