I made it back to Wilmington in just enough time to eat dinner, watch a terrible movie, and go to work. God Bless America.
I hope you have enjoyed my travels, and I will continue to post here, but my next big trip won’t be until Feb. 13th when I head to Music City. Just as a teaser, I WILL be purchasing a pair of custom made boots. Call me White Earp. (My partner in crime is Jew Wayne, but that’s for another blog post).
First, I want it to be known that songs are not meant to be lived, but rather written and then enjoyed. I won’t elaborate, but not everything people write is true and/or shouldn’t be replicated. I’ll leave it at that.
Secondly, I had a blast on this trip. I found adventure on the high seas…I mean roads, and had fun in the ports along the way, while causing minimal trouble. (So far I’m not wanted anywhere, which is good in the grand scheme of things).
Thirdly…OK I’m not sure that’s a word. I know tertiary is. So…tertiarily? I shouldn’t have gone there. Anyway, I must say that no matter where you go, every small town is the same. At a gas station you’ll see the same faces, just different names and different expressions, but they are all the same. All I’ve found is that the more of the world you find, the smaller it gets, and really, you aren’t anything special. As Ben Folds says, “There’s always someone cooler than you.” So stay humble, mostly because I’m cooler than you. See how that works?
To complete the Smokey and the Bandit theme of this trip, I stopped into a choke and puke somewhere on a two-lane in South Cackilacka. After I almost did both, I decided is was time to lay the hammer down, and put the metal to the thingy.
Lastly, I must comment about the horrible movie I watched this evening. It was called the Takers, and was a horrible one-off of the classic movie Heat. In this incredibly horrible and uninteresting movie, the plot was similar to Heat, but boring enough to where I was checking Facebook on my phone and went, “Oh, I was watching a movie. I forgot.” In contrast to Heat, the all-star line-up of Pacino, DeNiro, and Kilmer was replaced with Paul Walker, T.I., and Matt Dillon. Must I say more? If you’re thinking about Red Boxing it, save the dollar. You can buy a double cheeseburger with it, and they will probably both take the same amount of time off your life.
