yo yo...so as promised i will keep an updated blog, tho since there was so much i thought of on the way i may have to update. So i left friday around 4:30. Yes it was very sad. Early on i figured i'd probably be more sad to leave my friends than family, but when it comes to its kinda reversed(not that i don't miss friends). We all have friends that we talk to and are friends with that we don't realize we only see every few months. Family is always around, and especially people like me(i know nici is in same boat) grew up in the same house forever. Vincent was kinda lucky(?) that he moved sorta halfway. It sucks to leave your actual physical home, though i guess you have to eventually. Anyhow, i didnt get to see my Aunt before i left so i stopped there in Jersey on the way.
The drive wasnt that bad, i had queued up 7 O and A shows in a row, so i was set. I drove straight through in the rain until about 6am where i stopped at a rest stop along the side of the highway to nap. It was very uncomfortable but i managed to move my body into a spot that i could fall asleep in. I slept from about 6am-9am and was off again, stopping at a lovely waffle house for breakfast. Tennessee is queer. Its so damn long and so damn short. Along the way in Virginia and Tennessee you see lots of christian/Jesus billboards and random signs, and large elaborate churches. its queer.
About 1pm i stopped to take a little nap cuz i was falling asleep. I slept for about an hr and kept going to make it to memphis where my plan was to sleep for the night. I did. I had to stop on knxville cuz of a detour and and in a little small town saw a used tire store. The south sucks. its sad.
I stayed at a hotel in memphis and the next morning got bbq from a restaurant from DDD. It was good, not terrific, but the apple side dish that came from it was like apple pie filling, amazing. I then drove until little rock AK, where i stopped at the WIlliam Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library. I wish i could have spent more time. I actually liked Little Rock. Anyhow, oklahoma was boring until you get to oklahoma city, tho it was dark when i got here it seemed nice. I couldnt take any pics on my arrival cuz its so dark, but its broad, flat, and seems nice, i'll take some pics tommorrow. I'll stop with some random thoughts
-truck stops are MASSIVE
-i didnt change clothes or brush my teeth the entire time
-porn megastores are common off the highway
-a lot of pawn shops here
-the only bad part of the drive was my bum being sore
-when its main highways driving through other states really isnt as interesting as i hoped, kinda looks just like upstate NY, hopefully second leg through desert will be cooler.
-i texted a lot while driving next to large trucks on highways(if you texted me know that)
-speed limit was mostly 70, sometimes 75!
