After driving this vehicle so hard constantly I just had a problem for the first time and I was surprised this just came up now. Especially over the last week I have been pushing the Landcruiser pretty hard and I usually push it hard to get it to do what I want and fast.

I was driving to the hospital the other day and notice that my oil level was really low, so I went and got about 6 Liters and topped it off. I didn’t think much of it, then I had to get someting and I moved the vehicle but stopped because I forgot something so I only moved a few meters foward. Then I saw the spot I was parked it and there was a huge oil spot on the ground. So I looked under the Landcruiser and it was leaking oil, it didn’t look like too much and the gauge only dropped a bit.

I took it in and I found out that the oil hoses that connect it to the cooling unit were damaged and by the time I took it in they blew the seals. Since I was there I decided to get an oil change and filter change. To get it fixed and to get the vehicle service only cost me 57KD, and they told me its a minor thing and only happens every once and a while. I was thinking that this is the first time something like this happened and at 111’400 KM on the odometer, its good it lasted this long the way I drive it! I love this Landrcuiser even when you brake it keeps going and cheap to fix.

I have been running alot the past week with the thing taking place with family and now catching up with work. I really do feel deprived of sleep but I dont know if its going to be one hell of week since I have to go to expo during the day and during the evening and also being at work.

I do feel tired during the day and during the night, but at this rate I really don’t see where I’m going to be getting a break soon to catch up, but I also think that I will be crashing hard at a certain day, but not sure which day. Lets see how long I can keep chugging along with family and work. Can’t switch off right now, but there is going to be a forced shutdown soon.

It has been an interesting day with work, family and then I went out with some friends because they wanted some help with electronics and I wanted to pick up a few things. But towards of the night I got hungry and so I ordered a plain cheese pizza and I got my coke like usual. Anytime I have pizza I have to have coke.

Then I switched on the tv and put on The Movie Channel on Showtime and it was playing MIB, I can’t believe that it was since 1997. I still love the movie and still enjoy watching the movie. It has Linda Fiorentino in the movie who is supposed to be the hottie in it. I really enjoy how funny it is, and I loved the role Tommy Lee Jones plays. I also loved Will Smith in this movie, and I’m huge fan of the guy. It brings back good memories, and I also remember seeing in the movie theater in the states and I even remember who I saw it with. I can watch this movie a million times and still enjoy it.

I have been piling up on the anime recently and I do have a good amount, and sometimes its a bit confusing to know which anime to start with, there are so many good ones. I am also trying to organize alll that I have at this point. It is coming out to a huge amount.

Its funny at this point my nephew just enforces his rule and I can’t help but want to play with the little kid. When he wore jeans and a t-shirt a little while back he looked like a little man running around, it made me laugh and I loved the way he looked. And he sometimes does the funniest thing and its funny, if you tell him no he says “Neo Neo Neo” then he trys to find another way around you to get where he wants to go. I seriously can’t stop laughing.

Its amazing how fast kids grow, mashalla, I see him now how he pulls himself up a little to get something on a table and when he wants something he points ans says “Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine” and I keep laughing when he does that. He really has come out like, he loves tangerines just like me and he does something my mother said I used to do a lot too, he throws balls over the balcony and then points down and says “ball ball ball”. My mother said I used to throw things over the balcony all the time, I just started laughing. I love naughty kids, and even when seeing my cousin’s kids who are a bit naughty too its nice. Its amazing how fast kids grow over the period of a week or two, you just feel they are a little different, and sometimes its just the haircut! hehe

So I have had some time to just start thinking of lists, things I want to do, watch, read, buy, and everything else! And its a funny list.

• Ubuntu, Gonna get it soon, more about that later
• Carbon Fiber, love it
• Need to download more music
• Ducati 999 vs. Ducati 1098
• Maybe getting a bike (hint hint)
• Parts for modification
• Picking up magazines
• Getting things on schedule
• Got work travel
• Need to go somewhere for a break, not sure where
• More anime needed
• Did I download all my anime?
• I need to watch 24
• anime.. did I remember everything
• I want to learn Spanish (Need motivation)
• Need to take a motorcycle race track course, Spain if possible or UK in the summer
• I want to take a really really long ride, all over Europe or across the west coast in the states
• Sleep in some day… maybe
• Go to Brazil, Argentina, and Columbia

This is one of those wild lists! The one you just start thinking and your mind starts rambling on its own and it just goes from one thing to the other. Its funny as hell, some are more possible then the other.

I got a nasty papercut which really is annoying and I dont know how it can bleed so damn much! I will wrap that up in a second.

Well I will tick a few off that list, thats for sure. Some are just rediculous, but still possible!

I always kept a surplus of magazines just in case if I ever wanted to go through and read them at one point. They are mostly motorcycle magazines which are only sold in the UK and for some reason getting a subscription for them is hell.

That aside, while I was in the hospital I read through 13 motorcycle magazines, and I started one book which I won’t be able to stop at this point. After reading motorcycle magazines I’m going to rank my liking of the different British Motorcycle magazines and there are a lot.

Motorcycle Magazine Ranking:

1. Superbike
2. Fast Bikes
3. Performance Bikes (PB)
4. TWO
5. RIDE
6. BIKE
7. MCN

I based this on the attitude behind the writing and the “real” information I get from reviews on motorcycles and items. Sometimes you get the feeling the journalists are playing too nice just to make sure they don’t upset the manufacturers. Well Superbike is number one because they are so damn hilarious! They literally rip on the different companies and don’t care! I appreciate their honesty!

I also started Trudi Caravan’s Priestess of the White and I’m loving the book, can’t put it down.

While reading magazines I can easily listen to my mp3 player, but when reading the book I prefer silence.

Now I need to figure out how to get more magazines since I know they don’t bring them to Kuwait.

First off I would like thank everyone for their kinds words and its very much appreciated.

My mother has gotten better over the past few days, hopefully she will be coming home tomorrow. It has been very hectic, and my mind has been overload for the past couple of days.

Its funny, it really is mind over body. I really didn’t sleep much, if I went home its only because my mother would get angry that I was staying late and come at dawn. Its usually because I can’t sleep and my mind is bouncing at 300 kph, I couldn’t think of anything except what to do and what I needed to do and keep things smooth. I also thought about work, and what I had to do. I try to keep a clear head at all times, but I ignored everything else because it wasn’t priority one in my head.

She had a rough first two days but slowly things have gotten better. And my family was constantly there, and somebody was always bringing food or something, it was good. And it kept the mood light. We also gave food to other patients in the ward with us and the nurses because the hospital food was so horrible. You could tell people really appreciated it. And in the section we were in, some people were in a lot of pain and you wish you could help them. Its hard not to want to help, even something small.

I have a lot to talk about regarding hospitals, but thats a later point.

I was forced to come back home early by the family since I looked like a Zombie. I couldn’t go to sleep when I got home, I called and it seemed everyone was enjoying themselves with my brother, aunts, cousins, and a few other people there with my mother she was enjoying herself and it seemed she wasn’t having any problems. But I couldn’t just go to sleep so I went for a quick ride on my bike and got a bite to eat before passing out.

I will be going in around 6:30 am to beat traffic and then go to work because I have a lot on my plate, and my brother will be there. Good family and good friends, things couldn’t be any better.

It has been one hell of a day, I’m going to be out for the next day to.

I just spent the last 13 hours at the hospital with my mom at the hospital. I got a call at work that something happened so I went back home and took her to the hospital. I left work with some people and took off, things have been up and down with her and it got worse this morning.

So I’m happy that she agreed to go to the hospital to at least be under observation. She has somebody with her for the night and its 12:30am right now so I’m gonna get a couple of hours of sleep and be back by 4:30am. I think she will be leaving tomorrow but last week was a bit of scare and so was today. A lot of family came by and stayed most of the day a well.

I’m just happy she is a little better. I got work but I’m putting that aside for now. I wanted to post a few other things but I will leave it at this for now and get back to you guys later. What a roller coaster of a day!
