Cars are AWESOME!

Throughout my life, I have always found an interest in cars. Most people that know me, though, don't know this side of me- the side of me that includes my peculiar obsession for cars. In my spare time, I enjoy watching car review videos and even researching cars. I can correlate the price, style, engine type, horsepower, torque, curb weight, and much more for several cars ranging from basic compacts to super  cars .

My real obsession for cars began around freshman year when I realized I would be driving soon. As a typical teenage boy, I think its safe to say I wanted a stylistic, luxurious, and fast car. From then on, I was on the hunt for cars- used or new. I would look through several pictures of interior and exteriors of cars, and memorizing years in which the cars overall design (exterior) was in style or a generation. I watched car reviews for several cars, looked at miles per gallon estimates, and enjoyed spending my time at  few car shows.

Furthermore, its not just enough to get a car and be done. It can always be improved by replacing stock rims with some special , yet costly rims. Also, one could replace the exhaust tone. They can continue with other body work such as spec packages, tinted windows, smoked taillights, and even lowering the ride height. All these terms though define ricers- want to be racers. True car enthusiastic would enjoy to do all these modifications but further more install under the hood modifications. These can include air intakes  turbo chargers, and even superchargers.


Cars are one of my favorite things invented. I hope to own the cars of my dreams in my future.

Why Billy Bob should keep the pup

My client here is a lonely man that thought he found the love of his life. Unfortunately. They are obviously getting divorced. His wife, Mary, is now leaving him; not only is she leaving him but his children as well are being speedster from him. The wife also gets to keep the family car and the current house in which they live in. It is necessary that Billy Bob keeps the family dog in order to not lead a lonesome life. Billy Bob also has a lot of stress in his life and thus must keep the dog as it will cheer him up and take off some of the stress.

Furthermore, Billy Bob adopted the dog because of the immediate emotional bond he created with the dog as soon as he saw him. If this is not enough to convince you, I will proceed to develop more points. Another argument is that Billy deserves the cute puppy because it will help him to attract more women when he walks it. These are a great amount of reasons to allow Billy to keep the dog. If you don't let him keep it, y'all are a bunch of heartless people.

People of the jury, imagine your life in the shoes of Billy Bob. You are losing your beloved wife and children. You are losing your love. You are losing the years of your life that you invested in your family. You are losing money by having to continue to pay for expenses legally enforced on you for the divorce. You are going to be lonely. The last thing you have is your dog. The dog has become part of your family throughout your years and holds a special sentimental value. This man deserves to keep the dog. Please take these points into consideration in your decision making process.

The John Labib of the Future


Most people contemplate on what they want to be in the future, who they want to be in the future, and why they want this envisioned life that the future potentially holds. Thus, I come to conclusion that it might be beneficial for me to enlist a few of them on my blog. Who knows, maybe when I am actually 30 or so I can refer to this ancient blog and see what I have accomplished ( if my goals don't change). Here they are

1. Name – John Labib. Who would change their name? Its the name your parents entitled you with. It carries a long heritage. Its also what you have been called all your life.
2. Employment – Doctor. My interest is to be an  orthopedic surgeon specifically but I have a long time until that is decided upon.
3. Family – Perhaps I will consider the normal path of most of the population and get married, have probably two kids, and live a life that includes working to pay for all of them . I really don't know if I want to have kids though; they seem like a drag. Think about all the money you would have to spend on them. But yet again, it seems like part of a normal life.
4. Leisure time – Be in a social group of long time friends from college and work colleagues.
5. Car- Hopefully a decent , entry level sports sedan such as G35 or an Acura TL. This is in realistic terms, not childhood terms in which I would want to get the latest Lambo.
6. Setting – Nice suburban  area. Decent neighborhoods, schools, and people
7. Satisfaction – I will be happy because its my decisions that impact my life. I will be happy also because I would have tried my hardest.
8. Turning point in your life – College. College will give me the opportunity to  change, meet new friends, and find my true interests in life.
