Robbys Life

I found myself a new little obsession a couple of weeks ago and I’m really excited. I figured I’d put up a picture or two of the before, progress and after with this one. It’s a 1974 Ironhead Sportster, it’s a kickstart only and man can I tell you it makes me feel like a little girl sometimes having to kickstart this bike. Maybe I get winded because I still smoke LOL. Anyways enough about the smoking for now and on to having a new toy. I’ve spent enough time energy and money with old cars over my lifetime to know I’d never get another one without having something else as my daily driver and this is what I came up with as a project.

The things I’ve been thinking about doing to this vary from lowering the rear suspension to completely changing the frame to rigid. It should be a fun project in the mean time. Since I impulsively purchased this bike without knowing much about Harley models (the price was just right) I’ve learned a ridiculous amount about these bikes online. I even drove it over to Bartels Harley Davidson and got a couple of mixed opinions from the mechanics, one told me it was the coolest thing he’d seen in a long time that exact bike being his first bike ever, and the other one told me it needs to be taken out back and shot. That made me laugh pretty hard at the time then completely embarrassed me when i couldn’t get it started out front and it took me about 15 mins and three times as many kicks to figure out I was out of gas. So I’m still up in the air and not sure if anyone has any opinions I’m not looking to make this some big ole chopper since it’s just a Sportster but I would like to turn this into a project to screw around with.

I’ve managed to take up most of my time at the office looking at aftermarket stuff to put on the bike and even found a screaming deal on helmets and other gear at a site (dare I even say the name without feeling like I should be hanging out in West Hollywood on the weekends) leather up

I hope you enjoy seeing the progress and process here on my blog while I’m building this cheesy old 70’s machine into something worth riding without wearing dolphin shorts and a handle bar mustache….. oh yeah and a mullet

Ultimately here’s a link to what I’d like my bike to closely resemble he did a great job of hooking up his 71 sporty.

So today I’m currently at day 8 off of smokes and it’s been a roller coaster. I’ve been chewing a little bit of the nicotine gum.

1. day = 8 pieces of gum
2. day = 8 pieces of gum
3. day = 6 pieces of gum
4. day = 4 pieces of gum

And so on you get the idea, anyways today I’ve had 1 piece of gum and I’m doing okay, besides the random bouts of psychosis. I’ve had emotional mood swings from everything

being okay to thinking that I have to find a new job, and wanting to drive people off the road.

Very interesting to watch my mind be so consumed with this preoccupation of my hourly ritual, every time I have a feeling I go smoke, every time I feel good I go smoke.

Every time I feel bad, I go smoke. I’ve had this love affair with a camel for almost 17 years now burning about a pack or more a day. Today I’m finally felling okay enough to admit that I am completely addicted to the nicotine and tar and carcinogens .

It’s slowly getting better I know that but it’s no picnic that’s for sure. I will have more to report and talk about when I have a piece of mind returned to me.

I knew there was genius behind our presidency, God Bless America.

Here is a beautiful parody that is presented by Andy Dick that I thought was absolutely hilarious. I hope it’s just as funny for you too. Ok now back to work.

It has come to my attention that google being the god that they are on the internet have a very similar role to play in the life of a website that closely rivals the higher power of someone in A.A.. It reminds me of the book 1984, where big brother seems to have all the control over what we do. Nothing to do but bow down and make sure your sites are relevant and fit the guidelines of what they find as a relevant search result. Serve the engine, give up your first born site.

Read below and let me know what you think, does it make sense to you?

1. We admitted we were powerless over Google–that our sites had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than Google could restore us to rankings.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Google as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our Google sitemaps.
5. Admitted to Google, to ourselves and to another SEO-er the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have Google remove all these defects of character from the SERPs.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all other sites we had outranked, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such sites wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take website inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer (links) and meditation (content) to improve our conscious contact with Google, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for our sites and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other sites, and to practice these principles in all our content and links.

Remember people don’t believe everything that you are told in life or on myspace. Here’s a post to all the people out there that seem to think that everything posted on myspace is in any way true. It’s like high school all over again let’s spread a rumor that Rob got Lazie pregnant OMG I can’t believe it.

Yeah and you shouldn’t, here’s what I found out about the New California Laws (2 out of 10 isn’t bad right?)

If you want to know what the typical fines are in your area, call your local traffic court.

1. Carpool lane - 1st time $1068.50 starting 7/1/07 (The $271 posted on the highway is old). Don’t do it again because 2nd time is going to be double. 3rd time triple, and 4th time license suspended-Fiction!
In 2007, the recommended fine for a first time car pool violation was $380. Repeat offenders can expect to pay more, but nothing near the amounts represented in this email.

2. Incorrect lane change - $380. Don’t cross the lane on solid lines or intersections-Fiction!
The Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule said $134 for a typical infraction.

3. Block intersection - $485-Fiction!
The Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule said $175.

4. Driving on the shoulder - $450-Fiction!
The Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule said $134.

5. Cell phone use in the construction zone. - Double fine as of 07/01/07. Cell phone use must be “hands free” while driving-Fiction!
There was no law in California during 2007 restricting the use of cell phones in the car. There was such a law going into effect in July, 2008. There was no “double fine” as of 7/1/07 because there was no law in effect regarding cell phones. The new California law does not mention construction zones although penalties for traffic violations are higher if they occurred in a highway construction or maintenance area.

6. Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts - both passengers and drivers get tickets-Truth!
The California Mandatory Seat Belt Law requires all passengers to use some kind of restraint. Children under 6 and weighing less than 60 pounds are required to be in “specified child passenger restraint system,” typically a car seat. Everybody older than 6 must wear seat belts. At this writing the fines range from less than $100 for a first offence to more than $300 when it’s kids who are not buckled in. According to the California Highway Patrol any adults in a vehicle who are not wearing seatbelts are subject to citation, not just the driver. The driver will be held accountable for any children not restrained.

7. Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit-Fiction!
The speed limit is the speed limit. There is no legal definition allowing a driver to go 3 miles per hour above that.

8. DUI = JAIL (Stays on your driving record for 10 years!)-Truth!
At the time of this writing a first offense for driving under the influence in California results in anywhere between 96 hours and 4 months in jail. a fine, and a six-month suspension of the license. Those are the court penalties. There are separate penalties to the Department of Motor Vehicles. As of January 1, 2007 a driving under the influence conviction will be on a person’s record for 10 years.

9. As of 07/01/07 cell phone use must be “hands free” while driving. Ticket is $285. They will be looking for this like crazy - easy money for police department-Fiction!
By law all drivers in California must be using hands-free cell phones as of July 1, 2008. The fine was $20 for the first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense. The exceptions are for emergency use, drivers of emergency vehicles, and drivers of commercial vehicles can use the push-to-talk type wireless phones until July 1, 2011.

Think for yourself people, remember how many strangers BS you believe when you first meet them. If you believe it all I have a bridge for sale next week check in with me about the price, it’s going real cheap. I just hope that we as a generation can think for ourselves, it’s truly necessary if we are to find a new direction for our world as a whole.

I couldn’t resist putting this video up. I’ve watched it about 80 times in two days and it seems to get funnier every time I watch it.

Due to his wide range of acting skills and emotional turmoil created by just his mere presence the chipmunk has taken Hollywood by storm. This should be the next reality TV star, or at least award winner on America’s got Talent

Man I’m just wondering where the good programing went too? Shows like In Living Color, and Kid in the Hall. These were some extremely innovative shows that rocked the comedy circuit. Some of the stuff from Jim Carey pulled off back in the day launched his career into the movies. Probably the worst move made for his comedy. Anyways i just wanted to bring back some of the good stuff since the kids of today have no idea what they missed.

An elderly lady had just returned home from
An evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder.
She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its
Valuables and yelled,
“Stop! Acts 2:38! ” (Repent and be baptized, in the name
Of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly
Called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the
Burglar,”Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did
Was yell a scripture out to you.
“Scripture?” replied the burglar. “She said she had an Ax
And Two 38’s!”
