Gas Prices

If you know me well, you know I like to bitch a lot. Today's topic: Gas Prices. On the Dawgvent (to your right is a link) I got hammered for bitching about gas. They said "Well you shouldn't own an SUV then!" Bullsh*t! When I bought that thing, gas was $1.19 a gallon. Gas was very affordable. Now gas is, what, $2.99 today. Let's do some math:

20 gallons a week
52 weeks a year
Before: 1040 gallons @ 1.19 = $1237 a year
After: 1040 gallons @ 2.99 = $3109 a year

This is for one car. My other car is about half the capacity. This is $2500 roughly per year difference for two cars! Do you know what I could do with $2500? Ugh.

Check out my web business, CollegeBookMatch.com

Be sure to check out my wife's and my website. The site is http://www.collegebookmatch.com What we do is set kids up to TRADE used textbooks. We don't sell them. We have no inventory. We just get sick and tired of watching our friends get shafted by the bookstore when we know they could be saving money by trading books with people they may or may not know. That's why we set it up. If you have any questions, e-mail me at jeff.malmquist@gmail.com or info@collegebookmatch.com

Wow, I went ahead and lept into 2003 and got a blogspot

So I guess I am cool now, huh? Exciting. This is what I've waited for my whole life. Well, maybe not.

Well, a little about me I reckon: I'm 30; I live in Suwanee, Georgia; I'm married to my wife of 2.5 years, Rebecca; I love scuba diving, tennis, golf, and generally being outside. I've recently gotten into biking. Biking's great...all the benefits of running without killing your knees. My passions are scuba and UGA football though. Die Hard Dawg right here. I go to every game I can, including away. Just spent the weekend in lovely Starkville, Mississippi watching my Dawgs take it to the fake-Dawgs.

Personally, I'm a very interesting person I think (thought most think they are as well). I try my hardest to be the nicest guy I can. I go out of the way a lot for a lot of people. I'm very determined as well. I consider myself a very rational person. Politically, I'd say I'm right of center, but no I don't worship Rush or Sean Hannity. I listen to the left, but for the most part I disagree with most of their opinions.

I'm pretty diverse I think. I have friends from just about every culture. I speak Spanish though I'm not Latino or anything. I just like it. I like to travel to Spanish speaking countries and show off. You'd be suprised how well it's received.

Well, since this is more of a "diary" kind of thing, I guess I'll ad more later.
