Self Improvement

After a great work day Friday I went to the gym and had a nice invigorating workout which consisted of great conversation with a beautiful girl about Femicide in Africa. OH there is nothing like a beautiful girl that is educated on todays news to really get me in a great mood, despite the tragic subject matter. On my way home I started thinking about things I want to change for the better and I came up with 2 changes that I will be acting on as of today.

First off, my vehicle. I have a great truck that I bought in 2004 but I have guilt driving my gas guzzler so I am going to start looking for a more ECO friendly car. This is so hard because I LOVE cars and my dream car has always been a black BMW but I have yet to see the Hybrid BMW series... so its down to materialism or the greater good and sure the choice sounds easy but the follow through is whats plagueing me...

My second change is COOKING. Im a single guy, I mostly have my dinners at a restaurant where everyone knows my name. I started thinking about all the money that I spend on a weekly basis for meals and compared it to what I would spend if I just started cooking and WOW what a difference. So I decided to take cooking classes, Ive enrolled myself and had my first class Saturday morning. This is very exciting because I cant cook AT ALL and with a Greek father and Italian mother this is a shameful fact plus Ive never been able to cook anything besides spaghetti for my dates so how impressive would it be to have a date over to try my home cooked mouthwatering herb crusted salmon on a bed of spinach cranberry salad with a sweet honey balsamic glaze... YES

Hey handsome, good job on the cooking lessons I am impressed you have joined up. Look forward to hearing what your gonna be able too cook (me)...lol

Hyrrib BMW doesn't exist, you could get a Toyota Pirus but not quite the same!! So are you going to build a eco friendly BMW then?

Take it your good with your hands!! (sorry shameless I know)

I started my fencing lessons last week, and have just become a volunteer for a charity too. Feels good.

I knew I should have gone for mechanical engineering instead of architectural engineering! I could have totally designed the next Hybrid series

I am very good with my hands (and waist ), I will amorously dedicate myself to ensure maximum pleasure and have no problem with showing my dedication as many times as needed or desired

Fencing? Ive always been interested in this sport. Mostly wondering about the rules and such. How incredibly hot to be fencing away with the ultimate opponent and then just when Im laying on the floor with my loss in hand my opponent de-masks only to reveal her inquiring mesmerizing eyes and then we make passionate fencing love, haha I approve of this sport

If you're looking for a BMW to get in the next year or so, get the new one series, the 135i. It's a two door coupe, smaller than the three series, and packs a twin-turbo inline six with 300 hp/300 lbs-ft torque.

While it won't be a hybrid, it will guzzle less gas than your truck due to size/weight difference and still have enough power to keep any car enthusiast happy in their pants.

It hasn't hit the Dealer's lots yet. Wait...wait..wait...

It will be worth it because they've managed to shoehorn in the 335i's engine into something far smaller.

Good luck.

Here's some info hot off the press on the 135i and its weak sister the 128i. If you're satisfied by a mere 230 hp on an inline 6, go for it, since you will be saving on gas and the initial purchase price tag. Some very reasonable prices for BMWs.
