A car says more about a person than i would like to admit. When i’m going through a rough time, my car’s appearance typically does as well. If I keep my shit tight and kempt, so shall I keep my car. If i need a quick change, i’ll wash it. If there are major changes in my life, i’ll detail in and out. If you can’t keep your car clean maybe there are other aspects of your life that require attention before focusing solely on your vehicle.
Other than that it’s a matter of keeping it clean(maintience). Cover your car after you wash it, dust it before covering it. For my sake, please don’t rub your tires on the curbs (especially if you have white-walls). If you don’t have much time an automatic wash will do for $5+ but be sure to wash it by hand at least once a month.

Okay, so four or five days out of the week i eat a large (artery-clogging) breakfast, forgo lunch and dinner (too busy at work to think about being hungry), and then come home to a dinner of ice cream, candy, cookies… you name it; or i’ll stop and get something to eat on the way home(of course the only places open at 12midnight are wendys or JackintheBox) and then hit up the ice cream and others later. I feel like shit the mornings after. I think it’s a matter of convenience. I live with my family so i need to be quiet late night (not to mention i usually come home blowed to some degree) and to make anything healthy would require time, effort, and a lot of racket… but i’m hungry and i have to eat.
So i go for what’s easy (aforementioned) and have been noticing, as of late, the physical and mental tolls this is taking out on my body. The problem now is that it’s become habit. Now i have to rethink my whole eating schedule (or think of it in the first place). Maybe just move the candy bowl from the kitchen and unplug the freezer..

Can’t wait to be there again. Very much a need-to-do thing, especially once you’ve already lived on your own. I’m getting close, but i have a bad spending habit. I’m really good at saving for about a month and then…. shit, i have to treat myself(my treats are just a little too big) or even treat somebody else (for some reason that gives me a real sense of satisfaction) and there goes a large sum of savings. I guess that could mean i’m just not quite ready or maybe i know that once i’m out again these treats will be few and far between (too materialistic? i dunno, boys and their toys). With christmas drawing near, i’ll aim for late january… i want to do it right(with plenty of money, i mean)
