Car paid off now the only option is to junk it. So you should know the story isn't going to go as planned. When it comes to me for some reason it very seldom does. One of my friends ask me if I could drop him off at the Justice center. Reasons being its difficult to find parking down there and he owes parking tickets so I agree. He tells me don't park anywhere around CSU. I'm like ok I've been parking at the dorm lot all year no problem. It's a sign that says visiting parking so I'm good. I ended up parking the anyway and next thing you know his car is gone. I'm furious because my money situation sucks. Not to mention I'm going to take the money I get for junking my car and pay for the tow. How does this happen when I've been parking there all year?? I'm salty and he's salty too. So we get the car out and I pay for getting the car out. A couple days after thinking about it. I should have listened to him and it is my fault. My only thing is he really didn't give me anywhere I could park his car. If you owe Cleveland they could technically tow it anywhere. His best bet would've been to park it in a garage but that is hindsight.
After this disastrous situation I have dinner with one of my friends. It's good to discuss and hear other people's ideas and thoughts. She couldn't believe everything I was telling her. She told me things will turn around for me. The words of hers that will always stick with me. She says follow your heart with everything. It makes sense when you think about it. If you have an option to choose between a job that pays more and one that pays less. The mind will tell you go after the money which is good. The problem is money doesn't all the time bring happiness, so that is where your heart comes in to play.

Struggles...
Ok so after paying to get my car fix things starting going good for me but once again I hit a stumble. If you read my last blog then you know that I had gotten evicted out of one of my previous apartments. So it is now time for me to pay up. Just as I'm about to pay up an emergency comes up and someone needs my help. I have two decisions I could say I can't help and start taking care off my payments on the months I owed rent. Or I could help the person out. After the persons pleads with me and begs me I give in. So things go bad and I never again had the opportunity to pay of the debt. In January I receive a letter saying they are going to garnish my wages. I'm upset wondering how am I going to make it. Second guessing myself after giving the person the money. The person said they were going to do better and change and that nobody believed in them. Turns out they never changed and I wished I would've kept my money. After a month of getting my checks garnished I made it through and realized I could make it. One morning waking up going to work I realize someone broke my window out and stole some of my clothes and boots. So now I have to get the window fixed which puts everything behind. During that same time I receive a phone call from Cleveland Clinic for a job. I go to the job interview they practically offer me the job. School is already in session, its to late for me to changed my schedule. So I decline the job. In hindsight I'm kicking myself for not taking the job. I found out they do tuition reimbursement so that would've been my school money. I manage to get my car fix, but this semester seems to be a roller coaster. I have been having personal problems between myself and female problems. I have been a wreck.
This past Tuesday after taking care of some business job wise I run into another problem. Driving to school I hear a pop and all of a sudden my cars stops. First I check my tires because a couple days before that I get a flat at work. So I'm thinking I blew a tire. My tire is OK My next move is I check under the hood and I see a small fire. I grab some dirt and throw it on the fire to put it out. I wait for 15 minutes and my car still doesn't start up. My mind is thinking my car is dead. I wait a couple days and find out my motor locked up. I'm devastated but in the back of my mind I knew but I was trying to think positive. What makes the situation worse is once again I'm about to pay my car off. Knowing my situation being garnished what do I do?? I have a second job at a country club in beechwood how do I get to it from Akron?? The summer is coming and I start Blossom how do I get there??? How am I going to save up for a car??? God only knows and I know there is light at the end of this tunnel stay tune for more...

Back Where I left Off
I decided to start this blog because I never wrote anything about my experiences after going to South America. Also how my life has changed. The four months when I was gone was the best four months of my life. I met friends that I will remember for the rest of my life. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go. Typical Earl fashion my second day back to the states I went back to work and I've been working since. It seems like when I came back my life has been an extreme roller coaster. I'll admit some of the wounds were self inflicted but the majority of them just happen on there own. I know some people may think I have money or bad things never happen to me but trust me its the direct opposite. If you read my prior blog then you know some of my history. So at the end of the summer my plan was to pay of my car but you wouldn't believe what would happen. I get in a car accident on a Monday when I was going to pay my car off on that Thursday. This accident was and still is devastating to my life. So the money I was going to use to pay off my car had to go to fixing my car. Like how does that happen?? Who has that type of bad luck???
