so usually for me Christmas is a devoid holiday very lacking in any real substance. no real thought that i can think of going into it... or towards it. i guess its because my family is always working or too busy.

well lately things have been turning around a bit i guess. i have great friends and my family seems to be doing better.

which brings me to this years strange turnaround. even though i have been poor and broke as a joke i have been trying to attend charity events and donations just because if i'm having a hard time i think everyone else who doesn't have as much as me has it waaaaay worse.

and that's a good feeling to give. i actually told my family that i didn't everyone i didn't want anything for Christmas when they would ask me. and mainly because i cant afford to give anything back besides an awkward smile.

but at last Fridays meet and greet i was surprised by the usual crazy faces and some of the best guys in the world. who surprised me by pooling together and buying a carbon fiber hood for my car. which was a really huge surprise. they popped it out handed it to me like here you go!!! all i could do was hold it and stare blankly and look at everyone (really shut my loud mouth up).

and all i can say is thanks a lot to guys like Erik(kanchi), Mike(readbeard46), Jason(clokwerck), turner(goke186), and Wayne from vtr and you guys made my Christmas with just the gesture that you would go out of your way to help out one really broke guy.

just fyi this is more than i ever even got from my own father (ever). so it was really appreciated you guys.

even ace, and mark went out of their way to help me find work when i was in need of a job. thanks again guys!

and if i forgot anything or to mention anyone im verry sorry, this situation blindsided me like a good slap in the face.

i don't deserve this and you guys rule. just felt like sharing.

 

^Wow I didnt even know that they got you a hood... Props to erik,clockwerk,mike, turner, n vtr... wow u guys are TRUE FRIENDS......... Pete np... I figured hey he needs a job so ill see what i can do and since Ace was telling me they just fired someone I was like PETE he told me he only got so many hrs.. But have a good Xmas bud...
