And we're off...
Day #1:
Travelled: 579 Miles
Fill ups: 4 ($116.78) (37.53 gallons)
Time: 9:03 hours
Odd thing happened when I left the house though. As I was walking to the car with half of my bags, what I believe was a dragon fly, flew straight into my face. Now I'm not sure if thats a good sign or a bad sign, so I guess I will have to see how the rest of the trip goes before I can decide. Personally I'm hoping it's good. Though I know if birds fly into you it means you have no soul, I hope the rules are different for insects.
Aside from that I caught most of the Live Earth show while I was driving. The one in Giants Stadium. It was great because the music fit the drive perfectly and it made the time fly by. Also got some ideas for work from it and I realized why Kanye is so successful. Aside from the fact that he was always an amazing producer, as a rapper, he actually speaks his mind. If you listen to his music you will see him be very self-deprecating and calling himself out on shit, such as mouthing off about Bush, being vain, being shallow, buying into the retail culture etc. But then the second half of each song after he has done that actually deals with real life issues. He has his share of just fluff songs too, but most of his hits actually speak about real issues. I'm not saying that he is the most insightful guy on the planet or that he offers new ideas or takes on things, but he doesn't have to. Because he shares himself with his audience, the good, the bad, and the stuff that hes just thinking about.
I dunno, maybe being in the car alone for too long makes you a little high, but I think I bonded with him lol.
Anyway, Im fucking exhausted after spending the better part of an hour getting MT setup on the slowest ass connection on the face of the planet. Hi-Speed internet access my ass.
