10-19-04 - 7:40 p.m. this sunday im taking amy to memphis for a few days. this could be an insanely good month for me. i love my job. i love most of the people i work with, i love meeting the people i'm meeting. listen: there's this look on faces that happens when someone falls in love with a vehicle. and you find the right vehicle for them, something that matches whatever dream they have in their head, and you sit them in the drivers seat and they turn it on, that engine just growls or purrs, and their face, their smile, it's incredible. i'm not teaching anyone anything. i'm not making kids smile. i'm not finding cures, not doing anything incredible in my career. with my career. but i get to see those smiles. and that's okay. and then, on the business side, it's great, too. tomorrow, if i sell this one vehicle, i'll make a flat thousand. off one vehicle. it's incredible and stupid. and i'll get to go to memphis. and i'll get to walk down beale street. and i'll get to sleep with amy for a few nights. on a heavier note: my tonsils might have to come out within two-three weeks. i told my friend this, they turn around and say "that's excruiatingly painful." but, as far as it goes, i'm pretty damn lucky. previous - next
