The trip so far...

As you all know, I'm currently, well basically, living out of a semi truck as I truck across the USA with my good friend Michael. Seeing the US has been one of my goals I want to do in my life and I'm living it so far. As we are sitting here in La Crosse, Wisconsin being loaded I thought I would jump on here and blog. Since I have been on this trip since March 18, 2009, these are the following things I have seen.

Bridges:

Bay Bridge in MD - just didn't get to see any Naval Ships like I hope tood
George Washington Bridge in New York
Delaware Memorial Bridge in Delaware

Rivers:

Hudson Rivers in NY - where the mobs drop those dead bodies! *lol* Just kidding!
Delaware River in DE - the river that George Washington crossed
Lake Michigan - Wisconsin
Mississipi River - Wisconsin
Ohio River - Ohio

That's just some of the stuff I have seen. That's not mentioning cities we have driven through like New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Annapolis, Indianapolis, and etc. After getting loaded here we are going to be heading to Fort Worth, Texas. I will being see several states that I never been too on our way down to Texas like Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma, and maybe Kansas. So, it's going to be a great day for me.

Here I go again...

Boy is life kicking me in the ass! As you can can it's been a little bit over a month since my last post. But I promise I have a good reason for it. I have been grappling with a very big decision this last month that the answer didn't come to me until just a few weeks ago and ever since been working my butt off to get things in order. Still don't have everything but enough.

On March 18, 2009, I'm going to do something new. I'm going to be truckin across the US. Yes, you heard me right. I'm going to go from sleeping in a car to sleeping in a semi truck across the US. After failing to land a job in the last month, I decided that it is time for me to get out of this area and hope to land in a great area that will help me land my job. My friend Michael was nice enough to offer me to come along with him while he is driving. So, I'm going to be his passenger.

My plan for this trip is that on Monday, March 16, 2009, I'm going to be giving up the last of my major possession of mine the car. Yes, going to return it back to Chase. They can go and shove it up their ass all I care. I hope I don't hear from them again. Then on Wednesday, I'll be back on the road. While I'm the road, I'm going to continue my job searching across the US and hopefully I'll get a job in an area that I want. Plus, I'm going to try and take photos and/or blog as much as possible. I always wanted to see the country side but I never thought it would be in a semi truck though.

Before you ask, yes, I'm scared shitless! But I think it's the best option for me. Keeping the car was my first priority but it wasn't feasible now that I'm totally out of money. I get my food stamps but there is a great chance I won't be able to keep those as I'm supposed to have an employment meeting on March 24, 2009. Which as you can tell, I'm not going to be in Kentucky to go to this meeting. I have placed a call to change it but they haven't called me back yet. I still have to get a hold of my insurance company to let them know as well.

What am I going to do after this? Just gotta read my blog because I don't even know what I'm going to do. So, living day by day!
