A Hard Days Work
You know, just workin hard, solving the worlds web hosting problems. . .
I've been a fan of T-Shirt Hell for years. Though sometimes they just go too far, I can always get a laugh while checking out their site. If I recall correct their newsletter with alerts of new shirts is the only mailing list I've purposefully stayed on for more than 5 years.
I present to you, the T-Shirt Hell Holiday Collection.
Right after I got my makeup to look dirty. I spent the whole day with this on.
I just found the Schrute Farms Trip Advisor page along with funny reviews.
For those who don't remember, Dwight was angry about the Trip Advisor reviews for the new bed and breakfast as at Schrute Farms. Jim decided to take Pam to Schrute Farms for the weekend.I have been in Los Angeles for a week now. I haven't had my own computer so I haven't been able to upload any photos, videos, or really do any writing about it. I just thought that since my last post was in Nebraska I should probably at least let people know I made it. Once I get a computer set up I will go into photo editing, video editing, and writing mode for at least 5-10 hours and hopefully have a decent story to tell you all.
I've been hitchiking for a few days and was delayed in Des Moines when
I couldn't get a ride out of anyone. I got some work while I was there
and got a few much needed dollars. I finally, kind of accidentally,
got a ride to Omaha and maybe even farther with a driver and his
fiance that are about my age. I've met some characters both truck
drivers and hitch hikers. I'm not very far but have had some great
experiences as well as some bad ones. I'm journaling almost everything
in detail so that I can remember it perfectly to write about later on.
I'm paying 20c/min to be on the internet and this machine is a
complete piece of shit. I think it has Windows 95 on it. I'll be
leaving here in the morning, I have a ride set up to atleast North
Platte NE or to Wyoming. Next time I get internet access with a USB
port I'll be uploading pics and videos.
I've had a seemingly never ending string of bad luck lately. Lack of a place to live, no decent work, no money etc. I've been planning to move to Los Angeles for about a month but never got up enough money to go. Now I'm throwing in the towel when it comes to taking a plane, train, or bus to California. I've got my backpack and day bag packed and ready to go and am heading out to hitch hike across the United States to Los Angeles from Iowa. It could take just a few days, or it could take a week or more. Hopefully most he tips I've read about cross country hitch hiking will work, or at least help, so that I can make this rather fast.
I will be taking pictures along the way along with videos. I don't have any internet access on the road so I don't know when I'll be uploading them. Possibly from a library or something along the way, or maybe not until I arrive.
Since it's been getting cold in the Rockie Mountains in Colorado and anywhere north I will be taking the extra long route where I will go south to Arkansas and take Interstate Forty through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and finally California.
I have about $20 and enough food to last 5-7 days if I conserve, a tent, sleeping bag, and clothes. I'll make camp wherever I can when I need to and will see if it really is possible to cross the country on just $20. I'd love to stay longer and build up more money but I have no place to live in Iowa anymore and have been sleeping outside of someones house for the past 16 days. I might as well sleep outside while I'm making my way there.
There is a lot of worry inside me, a lot of nerves jumping all over the place, but I am determined.
