November 13, 2001At long last!Here we go. My sincerest (is that even a word??) apologies for not posting very in-depth entries for the past couple weeks. To be rather honest, CustomTacos completely took over my life. But guess what? I'm here now. Tired, still..but here.
friday night, I stayed up all night until 7:15 am putting on the final polish so that it would be ready in time for my November 10th deadline. I caught about 4 hours of sleep, then we woke up and went to Waffle House for breakfast. Yum! Then, we spayed up until about 4am Saturday into Sunday morning, and I caught about another 5 or 6 hours of sleep. So, the site is up and I'm really happy. It's really gratifying to go on my site and see people who have never met asking each other questions and interacting. Very cool. And as with all things, the site isn't done. It'll never be done. I've already got a to-do list longer than the original idea list for launching the site. I'm shooting for the stars, baby! Even if you're not into trucks, I invite you to take a look around over there. You may find some interesting conversations. Another exciting event today was my bumper and valence arriving. YAY! It looks like the guy whom I purchased it from on eBay doesn't know how to properly package a CHROME bumper so that it doesn't get scratched, but after looking closer at it, I think it'll be fine. It seems strange the have a new bumper for a truck that's not even in my zip code right now. Speaking of which: everybody keeps asking me: "Did you get your truck back yet?" No. And you know what? I'm really not worried about it. olivia thinks I'm being too passive or something about this, but my take on it is just this: If I continually call him and bug him about it, he'll most likely rush the job and not do his absolute best work. So, I'm taking a patient, hands-off approach. We're making it Ok with one car, so why get upset about it. This is where I apply my "Good things come to those who wait" theory. Try it sometime. It works. :) Posted by Jeff at November 13, 2001 12:24 AMComments
I know I asked you about the truck. You aren't normally like that about anything, especially when something pertains to your truck (or computer). That's why I was shocked at least. The moment you win an eBay auction, you start tracking it until it comes to your door. You're a go-getter, Jeff. It's one of your attributes. That's why I was so surprised at your passivity. :) I think this "passivity" is part of a new Jeff Pollard. It's a sensible reason, it's calm, relaxed, and logical. I like the new Jeff. Don't get me wrong, I liked the old one too...this is just a completely different side of you. It threw me off-guard. I'll keep practicing, but I have a feeling I'm going to get fragged every time I play you and Mike. You guys are hard-core.

So this weekend was the finale to my recent custom-truck-website-building insomnia. Brian came down from NoVa to hang out with me and Mike. We played Quake 3 Arena, traded some MP3s, and oh yeh, worked on
