My dream home is a renovated church, these people know what's up!

This couple bought and restored a church in Kyloe, Northumberland. It has always been a dream of mine to do something similar. While they opted for some design aspects that I am not into I can't help but love what they did. I have always wanted to buy an old church and turn it into my home. Newport, RI had one for sale years ago and I tried my very best to get into it but alas it was sold.

There is just something epic about living in a church... stain glass windows and the history of the structure. Someday Jay, someday. Anyway, check out what they did. As I understand it the church was falling apart so when they stepped into ownership they opted to restore major aspects of it (at 3 times the cost) and then renovate and modernize the rest. Glad to see that they care about history and preservation.

Man Utd fan or not, The God, Cantona. Kicks a Crystal Palace supporter in the face. (Futbol related)

Ronaldo de Lima might be my favorite ever, however Cantona is easily second. This is one of the reasons why.

Hail storm

Lol, I was sitting here minding my own business and literally out of nowhere the wind and rain just blew up in front of me. I grabbed my camera to capture some video. The hail that came down was like the size of golf balls. My brothers car caught some small dents I think. Very intense.

Power is out everywhere but here I guess, weather channel says that its headed to Hartford. Anyway here are some videos, not really that exciting but it really came out of nowhere. Mad sirens lighting up the streets.

The Dark Knight Returns sort of leaked.

Alright so the new trade that dropped titled "Joker" is an in depth story about the Jokers release from Arkham. Anyway it secretly reveals details about the next Batman movie.

The Joker will be back and The Riddler will make his presence felt. Oddly enough the Riddler is drawn different than he has been in the past. He seems to bare a striking resemblance to one Johnny Depp. Just something to mill over in your head. Anyway the book dropped. I read it. Its excellent. I can't wait to see it as a movie. Pictures attached.

Today I went to sit in

Today I stumbled on to a new Nissan GT-R. They retail for 70k and somehow the "stealer"ship has it marked up for 30k to $103,000. Total bullshit. That means the second you drive the car off the lot you lose 30 thousand dollars.

The car itself is beautiful but honestly its a bit to futuristic looking for me. I appreciate the whole "gtr in america" thing but lets be honest people... this IS NOT a Skyline. This is a GT-R. There is a difference. I would take and R34 spec-nur Skyline over this thing any day. Yes yes the american gtr is an amazing car but its not my thing. 480hp is nice but for less than 100k you can have a real "godzilla" gt-r34 and have it turned and delivered pushing more than any american gt-r.

As for the dealerships raising the price 30k... eat a dick. Pathetic. This car is for 30-40 year old men who wanna suck back that prime they missed. They could have marketed this car to a younger crowed and made a fortune.

Bottom line... its amazing... but I don't vibe. I will always love the real skyline r34 and even the 33 but no gtr for me. Kthx

Xo,
/Jay
