Jetta Resurrection: Belief and Doubt in Blogging

The blog has been hailed as a place for dialog, a unique forum to come together, apart the confusions of appearances. The blog has been said to be a wonderful way to express and catalog ones inmost thoughts and feelings. The blog has been toted as the new revolution.

We all can agree that a lonesome few blogs live up to those callings. We all can say we've seen some bad blogs. We all have read the I hate blogs blogs. Anyway, the main purpose of this post is simple, what I write here might not be the truth. In fact, I might outright lie to you. It's cool. You'll be alright.

Today, I drove to work and downtown Fresno. I listened to The Arcade Fire: Funeral.

Yo, the Gas Man!

Gas was a significant factor in the decision to decommision the Jetta and since it's resurrection, the direction prices have taken has been unfortunate. Wrong Way/Do Not Enter!

Sometimes, I wish I could just fill up my car with my garden hose. Wouldn't that be great. I mean for $2.69 per Gallon, I could fill up my tank will good ol' 2% milk. That way, I could supliment some of the gas that comes out of the cows!

Today, I've been listening to Dave's iPod in my car: Thanks iTrip.

It's a Beautiful Morning!

Yesterday, in the face of other great obstacles, I went to Radio Shaque and dispelled all the negative rumors about FM transmitters. That's right folks. I purchased a Griffin iTrip (I did refrain from the $15 warranty). This means for all you iPodless, that I now have the ability to listen to my iPod in either my own car or your's at my own discretion. Yesterday was about discretion and it was about a lot of other things.

I listened to Beck: Sea Change.

An Introduction, a Revival, a Metaphor

What is a Jetta Resurrection and what is the Jetta Resurrection blog? When did the Jetta die? These are the questions of beginning and re-beginning, reminding us of the cyclical nature of our world.

The death of the Jetta is alleged to be somewhere around the late fall of 2004. It was due to a great number of factors, ranging from financial depression to genuine political upheaval. The death of the Jetta marked the end of an era, then end of an innocense.

During the time of the Jetta's "non-presence," I took to riding the Bike. It proved a cost efficient, though arduous endeavor. Like warm water on a hot day. Like little cactus needles (the feeling you get when you just look at them). It was a dim time full of ambient light, similar to dusk or dawn (without Brad Pitt).

The Jetta's Resurrection occurred on the 15th of February, 2005. It was a momentous occasion, full of sweet and bittersweet and bitter and other tastes. Back in the saddle, back in commission, back in the hands of the Bush administration.

So, this is a blog about the daily interaction of me with the Jetta, the Road, and other stuff. It'll be random. It'll be concise. I'll post regularly...

Yesterday, I drove out to Easton, California. I listened to U2: War.
