to a special someone

I just want to say that eveen I may have been dissapointed with you, being able to talk it out and admit your mistakes takes more courage then anything, and for that I am really proud of you. Everyone makes mistakes but it takes a special person to be able to fix them, and be truly sorry for what they did. Sorry if I was not the most supportive friend when you were in need, that's not how a real friend would act. I messed up. But I want you to know that I do love you and would do anything to make you smile when your feeling down. I'm going to give you hugs and praises tonight just to show you that I'm not dissapointed, and will ALWAYS be there for you =)

My Letter to Kia

I recently purchased a used car from Applewood Kia in Surrey, British Columbia. The treatment I have received from this dealership since purchasing the car has been appalling.

On Saturday, Sept. 12, I purchased a 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS from Applewood Kia. On Friday, Sept. 18, the clutch on the car went, making the car un-drivable. I had the car towed to Applewood, however the dealership was closed for the night so I left the car outside the lot and waited for the next day.

On Saturday morning I went back to to dealership and spoke to the person who sold me the car. He told me to talk to the service department. I went to the service dept. and explained the situation to them. The gentleman at the service desk was extremely helpful and friendly and within a half hour they had the car in the shop and confirmed that it needed a new clutch, and it would cost approx. $2100.00 to repair.

I then spoke to the sales manager, Manny, informed him what had happened and that I felt the dealership should do these repairs for me as there was probably less than 200km on the car since I had purchased it.

Manny immediately went on the defensive, suggesting that there was nothing wrong with the car when I bought it and that it must have been all my fault that the clutch went. I told him I didn't think this was the case and that the clutch must have been on verge of going when I bought it.

Manny told me to leave it with him and he would see what he could do. He said he may not know anything until the following Monday, but he would call me Saturday evening and let me know what was happening either way. I received no phone call on Saturday evening.

On Monday, Sept. 21, I waited until noon for a phone call from Manny but never received one. I then drove to the dealership and spoke to Manny personally. He told me that he had not had a chance to talk to the service manager, but he would do so today and get back to me by 5 pm. At 4:50 pm I had still not heard from Manny so I called him at the dealership. He told me that he still had not spoken to the service manager but he would do so immediately and get back to me in 10 minutes. That was last time I spoke to Manny. He never called me back and I have not heard from him since.

On Tuesday, Sept. 22, I again waited until noon for a phone call that never came. I again drove to the dealership hoping to speak to Manny. When I got there I was informed that it was Manny's day off so I spoke to his partner, sales manager Darren Perkins. I explained all that I had been through with Manny. He had no knowledge at all about the situation but told me he would investigate and get back to me as soon as possible. A few hours later Darren called me back and told me he had spoken to Manny and the service manager and they decided that the best they could do for me was to repair the car at dealer cost which was approx. $1700.00. I told him that I did not think this was fair, especially after the way I had been treated the last 3 days, but he said it was the best they could do.

I asked him if there was someone else higher up I could speak to. He said that I could speak to Troy, who is the GM. I told Darren that I would like to speak to Troy and he told me that he did not have his number handy but he would call me right back with the number. I have not heard from Darren since and I don't expect that I ever will.

I have purchased many cars over the years and never have I been treated the way I have from this dealership. On 3 different occasions I was told by Manny he would call me back and never did. Darren also said he would call me back and never did. This has now gone on for 4 days and in my eyes nothing has been resolved.

I can not imagine that Kia wants their dealership represented this way.


I hope this gets my message through

lonely

I'm really feeling lonely in the world lately. I have friends, that's not the problem, it's that I'm ALWAYS just the friend. I want to be something more, but that never seems to happen for me.

Maybe girls just don't like me, maybe I'm too embaressing to be refered to as 'the boyfriend' I really don't know....

titles are so hard to write

Still trying to get my mind off of everything. I decided to watch a movie, I went with scary, haunting in Connecticut. It keeps making me jump even at the most obvious moments. I guess it's just my mindstate. It's not a terrible movie, though I'm writing this while watching so it's not super captivating.

On a completely other note

I'm stuck between Twitter and blogging, I don't know what to choose but there's not enough room in my life for both. Twitter is quick and easy but sometimess I feel like writing a bit more indepth, like right exactly now

Twitter is open to everyone and it's kind of my area fr thig not me, like my feable attempts at comedy. I almost need to make seperate account for my comedic and serious sides

my blog

So you might wonder why I came back to my blog, and it's really quite simple.

My blog is exactly like my life, no one cares about it.

I come here to rant and rave, mainly to get stuff off my chest, and that's about it

Right now my life completely sucks
The whole car thing started this off, and it seems like everytime something big and bad happens to me, everything else in my life goes wrong.

So my car breaks down, I'm pissed off beyond all belief and people keep asking me why Im so sad, that's fine, granted. But then they keep picking at it, eventho they can see I'm sad and really don't want to talk. These are people who really really mean alot to me, probly the closest group of 'friends' I've had since I moved to surrey. Mammi, daddi, and daughter. It's sad to think of it, but they really are my best friends, which means I've never found good friends in the 5 years I've been living here. Pitiful...

So I had a rugby game today, and I love rugby, and was so excited for the game. Early in the game a got stomped, hard on my knee. I roughed it out, barely be able to walk but wanting to stay in the game. It felt better after the game but as of the time I'm blogging this, i can barely stand on it

Next, at work tonight, there's this girl. She means soo much to me and I couldn't imagine a life without her. She was supposed to come in at 5 but never showed up. We had no idea where she was. I was so worried that something could have happened to her, I don't know what I would have done if that was true. I didn't like to think of it, but I thought of what would have done if someone had done something to her. I think I may have killed them. No exageration. Finally though she came in, it was just a miscommunication

But that put me into a bad mood, back to full depression syndrome.

So now I'm at home, the same thing happened tonight. As much as I try to act normal, they can tell something is up, and they keep asking and asking what it is that's bothering me. I don't like to show my sadness, I like to be the good guy, but sometimes that's just too hard. They must just all think I'm an asshole now

All of this has brought me to this last thing, that always seems to come up when I'm in this state. I have no true friends. No one who I can talk to about this. The person I want to talk is always busy, and that's about it in that category.

So I'm resorting to blogging my sadness away. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, but it won't...






fuck me

Long time since ive turned to here, I thought my problems had gone away, but fuck me, my life fucking blows

I bought my new car a week ago, yayyyy.... NOT

So you would think that buying a car from a dealership would be a safe choice, I mean they have a reputation to uphold. That is until that dealership turns you around, bends you over, and precides to fuck you, long and hard, in the ass.

I'll call them out, Kia Applewood, salespeople Jack and Sandra, address 16299 Fraser hwy. Phone number 604-635-3010

So what happened you might ask. Well I bought the car, and was assured everything was checked and ok. I felt safe. That was until a week later my car stopped. Literally stopped moving forward and sat there, just to say fuck you.

Remember this is a week after I bought it, and I had only driven 4 days of that week, and only 300 kms. So itook it back to Kia, well the towtruck took it to Kia and sat by helplessly.

At this point I was still optimistic, the people around told me it wasn't my fault, they had driven with me and saw that I don't drive the clutch hard or anything, so I don't know.

Kia says it's my fault, and says that it's not their responsiblilty to fix it. They quoted me 2000 to fix it.

So my new car, which I still havent
even seen all of it's features, is now useless. fuck my life
