I'm Melting, MELLLLLTING!!...

Fifteen hours in a car is too long to sit in a car with somebody let alone two people. There are a couple of phases (between each phase there is a pee break):

exicted
thoughtful
bored
talkative (2nd wind)
cranky
agitated
reflective (3rd wind)
sore
violent
murderous (no wind)

When we finally got out of the car at the cabin in New Hampshire, Mike jumped me and wrestled me to the ground and then Caleb jumped on him, we almost weren't joking.

I squirmed free. "Fuck you ALL!" I ran to the entrance, shaking, jumping up and down uncontrollably, unsure of whether to shit or make eggs, wind my watch or go blind. I'm so happy I could kill, so angry I could dance. Mostly I'm very very alive. This was the point of the trip. Get the fuck out of Dodge, go somewhere new, safe and beautiful with the boys and totally forget... on Rememberance Day of all days.


Pif: I burst into the Cabin: I'm SOOO fucking GLAD to OUT of that... instrument of TORTURE that... FUCKING CAR! HAHAHA!

Rob: how you doin' pif?

Pif: REALLY REALLY... BETTER NOW! (I'm jumping from one foot to the other. Mind in tatters. Happy to have two legs.)

Rob: I see nothing's changed with you.

Pif: Nope. NO SIRREEE MISTER Mister. How are-

Caleb (enters bags in hand): AAaaah.. We Almost left Pif at the side of road because he lost a bet.

Pif: If you touch me! I'LL BREAK YOUR ARM!

Rob: So you guys had a good drive?

Caleb: Yes. Its over.


At this point I knew it was true, we survived. Those last few miles were killer, I felt like crying. It was over and we are as far away as humanly possible I got up Early this morning in Halifax, Canada and now I'm somewhere DEEP in Bush country. Bittersweet. In the back of my mind I knew I had to get back in to get home, but my better half was keeping this fact from my worser half which was at the controls at the moment.


Today's Song of the Day is "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" by The Flaming Lips off their 1999 album, "The Soft Bulletin."

Crazy Fact: The origin of their name variously attributed to a porn film, an obscure drug reference, or a dream in which a fiery Virgin Mary plants a kiss on Wayne in the backseat of his car.
