texas
I don't see what'd be so bad about letting the Southeastern United States be it's own entity? We can still trade with the crazy fucks, but why let them tarnish what little integrity the United States has left?
Or maybe the Pacific Northwest just needs to become it's own country. I think I'd be down for that.
But really...what the fuck Florida? Texas?
After leaving Houston Adam and I left for San Antonio. The town was much more beautiful than I remember. The river walk going through the town awesome. Much greener than I remember and some amazing architecture.
From there we left and went to Hondo and saw my grandparents. FIrst time in a few years. It was good to catch up. Then we switched off driving throughout the night and arrived in Roswell at about 6am. Driving throughout the night felt really amazing. Wide open road. I never noticed Texas had a hilly side.
Which brings me to first post. We found a place outside Roswell called Bottomless Lake State Park. Very rugged landscape, but a lot of the lakes have shrank in size, but you can walk amongst the ground. It's the closest thing I can imagine to what it would probably look like on Mars. Very martian looking.
Met up with an old friend Curtis: had some drinks, sang some drunken karaoke and ate at an AMAZING Tex- Mex Restaurant called "El Real." The restaurant was a big old theatre converted into a restaurant and the food was to die for.
Finally made it out of Texas. A lot more respect for the state than I had before, but glad to be out of it. Been in Roswell, New Mexico for about half an hour. Time to power nap and adventure. I'll post cool pictures and head thoughts this afternoon when we check into a hotel.
Woke up at 4:40am. Been riding a plane since 6:30am. Slept until about 10:30am at which time i exited the plane briefly to buy a coffee and muffin.
After that I started listening to music (mostly Bon Iver and David Bowie) and reading "The Story of Stuff".
I bought the book in January, but forsook it to read other books for a while.
It's a great book. Heavy yet spoken in common people language; which I find essential when trying to convince people to change their habits and take care of our planet. Anyway, that's another subject for another time.
3 more days of work before I leave to meet Adam in Texas.
Then I get 8 days off of work.
Hopefully I hear back from the guy about potential apartment guy before I leave for Texas. At which time we will owe 400, 900, or 1800 for apartment a deposit.
Hopefully only 400 because I had $300 in my account on Friday, but now I'm a lot closer to $200.
I get paid on Friday, April 26th, but I'll be out of town by that time.
My paycheck should be at least $500.
I saw 11 people under 1 portion of 1 bridge on my way into work this morning.
Cody says I can take my hair product in my carry on bag if it's under 4 ounces.
I thought it was 3 ounces, but he's probably right because he retains information better than myself.
My americano had 3 shots of espresso.
I need to do 2 loads of laundry.
I still need to shower and wash my hair before my trip, but I don't remember when I showered last. At least 7 days now, right? I really don't know. Oh well.
Whilst writing these words I listened to David Bowie sing "Five Years".
The End.
Flying to Houston a week from today to meet up with Adam. From which point I will road trip back to Oregon with him! So many adventures will on the horizon!
I get to see my grandparents, the grand canyon, and all kinds of nature stuff! I'll be posting many updates: pictures, stories, etc!
