This has got to be one of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. Although I am a fool for conspiracy theories, I eat them up like there is no tomorrow, but this is a fair movie. More than anything the movie was educational and informative. Katy rented this movie on netflix, but I’m sure you could find this movie elsewhere if you looked hard enough. Please don’t turn this movie down if get the chance, it was #7 on the Nielsen Top 10 Box office Documentaries for 2006. I find this impressive since the movie was limited release at the box office. I never heard it was going to be in the theaters, did you? Also on IMDB it is rated a 7.6 out of 10 with ~1300 votes. Definately check this movie out if you get a chance!

My New Job at The Tire Rack
Last Tuesday I got a call from Mike at The Tire Rack. He told me that he was emailing me an offer at The Tire Rack. I called Katy and had her read me the offer which was emailed since I do not have internet at work. She read me the offer and that night we talked about what I was going to do. I really didn’t want to leave my current job working at Market Motors. I enjoy what I do and I’m treated well and the compensation is more than sufficient. I called Mike to make a counter offer and after some figuring of numbers I decided to accept the offer that was orignally given. I took a hair follicle test on Thursday and got an email today that I’m starting this coming Monday, November 6th. I think the major thing that is going to get some getting used to is the early hours. I have to be to work at 7am rather than 10am. This is no big deal since I don’t mind getting up early, I feel I get more done when I’m up early. The major pay off is I get out of work earlier since I go in early. I am also working with a good friend, Bill Pratt! I am looking forward to making new friends and broadening my work experience. The Tire Rack seems to be a pretty good company to work for, really good benefits and what not. Man I’m excited!
2nd Interview at The Tire Rack
I just finished my follow up interview at The Tire Rack. We went out to lunch at Bobs 19th Hole in South Bend which turned out to be a pretty good meal. I went out with 4 other guys plus Mike Hoover who gave my first interview. The crew that I may be working with seem to be a pretty laid back guys. I would like to say thanks to Bill Pratt for getting me an interview in at The Tire Rack. Bill is a friend that is in the Computer Science Department at IUSB. I met bill back 4 years ago at Wal-Mart when I worked there which was before Bill went to IUSB. On they way back I rode with who the programming team at T.R. call Ozz (his real name is Bill). Ozz owns a 2004 Mini Cooper S and I have never ridden in one before, so I jumped at the chance. We talked about Motorcycles and how he came accross his Mini, he informed me that he was married but didn’t have any kids. When we got back I talked to Mike Hoover a little bit more and he let me know that there is someone else he is interviewing who has Web Testing experience and that I should here back from him in a week or two. This is also when I found out that the Chris, the woman who I will taking the place of and will be training me, went with us as well. It was then that I started kicking myself in the ass, because the only two words I exchanged with her the whole time was “Hi, my name is Cory. Nice to meet you”. Oh well you live and you learn. I guess we will see what happens.
Life is Good
First I would like to say that life is good, and I am happy with everything in my life right now. Today nothing extremely special happened. Just an ordinary day working at Market Motors. Detail some cars here, pick up some cars there, and talk to some customers everywhere. Devin came and visited us at the lot on his fancy new motorcycle that Katy and I sold him. He bought Katy’s old motorcycle and is pretty excited about it. I got home and Katy was taking a nap with Mozart. I took a ride on my bike down “River Road” ( CR 8 ) a couple times since I had time before Mike was going to show up. I kinda wished Brian was with me to enjoy the ride. I took it pretty quick feeling considering I’ve only had this bike for a couple weeks. I felt pretty confident in the speed that I took the corners. The suspension felt incredible compared to my SV. The suspension on my RC is fully adjustable Showa which came stock with the bike. I got home and Mike showed up to help me on my drywall. He’s awesome at cutting out the receps and cutting pieces to fit. He has helped me on a lot of the drywall and I feel like I owe him more than I could ever repay him. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t have any of this done except for the part Brian helped me on. Katy cooked us some Pizza which Mike turned down because he already ate, and after he left Katy and I cleaned up. I think Sunday I am going to go to his house and help him out. I feel like I’m really indebted to him. Thank you again MIKE!!
Update on me
Lets see, this weekend Brian, David, Katy, and I went to Kalamazoo Michigan to a Triumph and Ducati dealership called Life Cycle. David wanted to look at a ‘05 Triumph Thruxton with 300 miles on it. It’s practically brand new, not even broken in yet, and they are asking $5500. It’s pretty much a steal since they are retailing for $7900 brand new. Well, Brian and I rode up on our motorcycles testing out our new leathers we bought for the trip. And they work very well, we got stuck in the rain on the way back! They are a bit stiff since they still need broken in, but I feel very safe having an extra layer of skin that can be replaced fairly easily and with out a whole lot of pain. Well, we got home and I didn’t feel very well so we didn’t work on the house. Sunday comes along and I finally admit to myself that I have a cold. Brian comes over and we work on my house some more. We got the wiring in the attic done, after I crawled through about a foot and a half of blow in insulation. I stayed up late getting everything cleaned up and tarped up the S-10 so that David and I could take it to the dump Monday morning. Monday went pretty well, it rained pretty much all day and was very chilly. I think the high was only 66 F and breezy, reminding everyone that Fall is just around the corner. We didn’t get a whole lot done at the car lot, but I did get a haircut from Brandy and picked up my car at the auction. Coming home to Katy taking care of me tonight made me thankful that I had a beautiful sweet wife that loves me. I’m very happy with life right now, and extremely thankful that I have friends, family, and a wife who love me very much.
Crazy Scientologists
If you are new to the term “Scientology” and what it is, feel free to check it out on Wikipedia for a detailed looked into this crazy cult. About a month ago The Church of Scientology forced the owner of CodeBot.org to take down his website which you can see an exact mirror of it HERE. He took down his website and posted a copy of the email they had sent him for a little while and then he had his website forwarded to Scientology.com. Since then I have found a few other interesting videos pertaining to Scientology. Here they are:
