haha, i love when people say that

its called making time.
i get out of work after 8-12 hours everyday. go home and go right to working on my car till 1-3 am, then up at 6-6:30 to head back to work.
when working on my car im lucky to eat dinner once im going.
i dont watch tv, i dont nap, i dont do anything but bust *** on what im doing.

i have people say that all the time, and those people are the same people that work 8 hours, get home, watch tv while snacking befor dinner, eat dinner then shower and hang out again, then make it to the garage around 9 pm, then hit the sack at 11. Not me
