sigh...
well, i'm finally here.
current location: Prescott, AZ
current temperature: 60degrees F
Humidity: 16%!!!!
current elevation: 5300 ft.
we finally got into Arizona this morning around 9am-ish and have i got stuff to tell you about the trip...
ok, so we left out of So. Fla around 8:30pm/9:00pm and i took the first round of driving. so i basically started off the journey by driving from coral springs to TALAHASSEE! in nine hours of straight driving might i add. i was pretty much wired off of two Mountain Dew pitch blacks and some other soda i had earlier that night. i wanted to stop off and see my sister in Jerksen-Vile(jacksonville) but since we left so late by the time we got up there it was about two or three in the morning. so i guess that was out of the question. i got a snap of the jacksonville skyline though AND it was at night so that made it look all pizzimp. anywho, when you overdose on the sugar, it gives you a boost for the mean time but then there is always the inevitable "crash." so around five-thirtyish things started to become a blur. the lines in the road began to fuse and i started to feel myself doze off. after a few times i figured, "alright kellogs, tighten up!" but it wasn't directly my fault. my body was physically deprived of rest. and not to mention, i had been going all day and driving off of 4 HOURS OF SLEEP! and wired off sugar. so, sure enough, after the previous statement was thought, i began to blank out again. and when i openned my eyes, i found that i had driven half way off the road! the uneven dirt awoke me and the first thing i noticed was that the yellow line that's normally on the left hand side of the road was now closer to my right tire. so to once again avoid DEATH i slowly turned the wheel back to the right instead of jerking it real quick which would lead to the truck rolling over on its side. when it comes to split second decisions, i normally do real good. this was one of em. so with that situation over with, it's needless to say that i pulled that junk over real quick, woke up my dad, and made him take over...
quick details on whole trip:
-hours of solo driving: 18-21 hrs.
-total miles driven: approx. 2466.41 miles
-skyline tally: seven
-states traveled through: seven
-total pictures taken: seventeen
-pictures left: nine
-cell phone calls missed due to being "out-of-range": one
-items left behind: two movies, several shirts, and too many friendships
-over night hotel stays: one
-number of shirts worn: two
-hours of iPod usage: countless
-highways in Luisiana suck
-Texas is too friggin big
the time it took us to cross the country strikes me as quite remarkable. when i moved from California to Florida, it took about five days. but then again, it was only my dad doing the driving then. and not only did we make it from So. Fla to texas in LESS than a day(approx. 22hrs), but we made the whole trip across country in less than three!!! two days and nineteen hours. wow.
the season premeire of the OC is on now soooo... brb...
wow. i love the plot twists of that show
current situation:
-temp outside: 40degrees F
-local time: 8:35pm
-current mood: full
it seemed that by the time we got to texas, the trip was basically over but then i realized how ludacrisly large texas is. what's the point. and when we got to Pheonix, i got pulled over by the stupid border patrol cause they thought we were smuggling mexicans and crack rock steady beats. stupid fucking border police. ehh. whatevs. i have way too short of an attention span to do this. texas sux. new mexico sux. and not being near my friends SUX! with a capital S-U-X!!!!! i just realized what i've done. i moved out. i moved out of my house but it wasn't just out of there. it was out of ALL OF FLORIDA. i miss my So. Fla scene. i miss Derianne. I REGRET EVER LEAVING JASON! i honestly don't know what i'm going to do without him. he's my other half. i feel inadequate when he's not around. let alone on the OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKING COUNTRY! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. this is alot for me to handle. the monday that i left was horrible. we finally got all my shit in the truck and i said my last good-byes to george(my step-dad) and jason. and as we began to roll out of the driveway i looked back to see jay and porgie just standing there watching me drive away. the emotion was so overwhelming. it takes ALOT for me to cry. i mean, last christmas, i went to a friggin funeral and somehow didn't even feel remorse. but on this occassion, i just couldn't hold back. and as soon as i gained a little self control, i would try to call people on my cell to say good-bye. and as soon as i'd just pull the name up, i'd get all choked up and wouldn't be able to beathe so i didn't get past calling my mom. i talked to alot of people on the way though so that comes as a little consolation. wow, this alot for me to talk about so i think i'm gonna call it quits for tonight. i love you jay. just keep it in your mind that you're always on mine. i miss you bro...
goodnight
