On the Road

If you ever get the chance to get on the open road, letting the wind blow in your hair...DON'T!!! It fucking sucks unless you like sitting in the same spot for hours, eating fast food all day and driving through such states as Nebraska and Iowa. States that you wonder if everyone living there is suicidal due to nothing around them. It's such a weird thing to be...on the road.

Back in the days it seemed like such a fantastic thing. Living off of apple pie and whiskey. Hanging out at on on ramp with thirty people, drinking and eating and playing music. Now a days there are physical signs with a thumb up in the air with a big red mark through it. Stating,"This era is dead. Move along there is nothing for you here."

I will have to state that driving in a car for such a long times forces you to deal with issues that you've put on hold. There are no distractions, no t.v. to watch (unless you are fucking rich and can afford a dvd player in your car) and you really can't get up and walk away. You are stuck staring, looking into your soul. I will have to say that as boring as I've made it seem, it's theraputic. I've never felt better, being in such a shitty situation. So fuck it. Grab your Atlas, gas up the car and get the fuck out of dodge.

how ironic that the spam post to your blog about how road trips suck would be for cheap airfare. not lost on me - NOOO, DADDAY! i must have an iq of at least 45.

us jerseyans don't know much about road trips. ever seen harold and kumar go to white castle? yeah, they do the whole state in one night. but boy are those burgers tasty!

oh man, driving from Kalamazoo to Salt Lake City. 24 hours straight!! rock on! you really have to have your Mt Dew and chilli dogs on tap for that trip. I got the runs so bad after that trip from eating all the "road fuel" it takes to get there without falling asleep. I seriously think I can solve all of the world problems if i drive by myself far enough.

The person trying to sell you cheap airfare is a fuckin' piece of shit! They kicked him out of the army because he wasn't a human being...and he's not a human being.

More human then the human man. I drove to Jersey for x-mas and let me tell you...PA sucks too. Other states that suck are Utah, Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, Nebraska. Michigan, New Jersey, California and Florida are ok with me.

Dude, Florida is big fucking hurricane magnet. Every time I step outside I get hit in the head with a coconut doing 140mph. Stick to corn fields.

Fuck Kalamazoo, as a matter of fact, fuck all of Michigan.

Last night during a Dateline interview, Derek Jeter said he returned to Kalamazoo after being drafted by the Yankees and was subjected to racist comments.

That's great assholes! One of the most popular professional baseball players in more than 50 years and all he has to say about his hometowm of Kalamazoo Michigan is that they treated him like shit because his dad is black.

What a bunch of fuck ups. It's shit like that that makes me glad that I left. Of course, now I live in Malcolm X's hometown. But you wouldn't know that by actually being in the town, or going to the highschool or the historical society. You will never read that fact in a written history of Mason. You will only read that in a written history of Malcolm X. It goes something like this:

Malcolm X moved to the Lansing Michigan area and lived in Mason. His father was murdered in Lansing because he was black. Malcolm's family was treated brutally the entire time they lived there.

I guess I haven't moved up in terms of progressive surroundings. Maybe I will run for mayor and then pressure the school board to change the name of the school to "Maclolm X High." He is the city's most famous son.
