You can’t see the forest for the trees

Not gonna lie, it's been hard to focus on things since the passing of my father. Hard to see the future, hard to make a decisive plan, hard to care. The good thing is my hot rod fund is set to automatically pull money from each check into it without my intervention which is a plus because I have been in a funk. I try to visit sites and keep reading about Roth and the monthly hotrod magazine but I haven't wrenched on anything for a few months. I know I have to get off my lazy ass and get back to what I love but it is hard. I know it will come, it isn't something that can be forced.

I was reading a long thread on a different site that posed "what is a hotrod" and being the internet the answers ranged from Troll bait to logical. I have to admit I never thought about it, my child eyes vision of a "hotrod" is anything that has been modified to be faster or "hotrodded." The vast majority seem to say any supped up car that is Pre-WWII is a "real hotrod." Not quite sure where or why that would be the determining factor but most of the clan nodded and said yup that's the real truth.

This does bring up a flaw in my conscious or personality, I never ever care about the sub-genre within a genre. To me metal music is metal music, don't need the 78 million sub-genre of Norwegian scream core... metal is metal. So when posed with the "what is a hotrod" topic I was like anything faster than stock. Boy am I naive, to a fault. Long story short when you are reading this blog please know that my definition of a Hotrod is pretty much any car made faster. In my world pretty much anything can be hotrodded if you invest stupid amounts of money for no reason other than to say "mine is faster" then it's a hotrod.
