Auto Parts - Brain Boy: Awakening

continued.....

ok. so as I walk to hug my mom, I was kinda expecting that she'd start asking questions and all that. What surprised me though was her action. She gave me a tap in the shoulders as I kissed her. Very very softly she whispered.

"You've been neglecting your car son!"

I would have just dismissed her comment without further thought, but the way she said it made me feel like she was askin me what I was doin with my life rather than how I was taking care of my car.

The afternoon ended quite normally. I even promised her that I'd do better of taking care of Mary, which was my car's name.

But after that, I guess I never was the same again. Because that simple comment sparked my interest and got me thinking and planning for what I want to happen to my life.

And so here follows my journey and a lot of the things I have picked up along the way.

It may sound funny but many of the things I need to know and that has greatly helped me came from my interaction with many of the most mundane things.

And yep you guessed it right..... I did not have auto parts for brains for no reason...

Coming soon... Lessons from Mary (the car OK!)

Auto Parts - Brain Boy: Fresh From the Factory

Astroboy, Number 5, Terminator, even Robocop... Though I try real hard to feel an affinity to them, I cannot. For unlike them, I am flesh and bones for the most part. I'm just your normal twenty something guy thinking of girls and how I can get to impress some. When one reaches this age when almost everybody around me is marrying right and left, everyday becomes more of a pressure. The "what ifs" are drowning me most times and though I don't really go belly up, it makes me think back a lot on where I am and where I'll go.

So there I was, out of a job, without a girl in my life and feeling pretty miserable. I was visiting home in my old beat up car. The moment I parked in the driveway, I know I am up for some tongue lashing from my mom....
