So i'm in Philly right now

And i'll be heading back home to Champaign IL tomorrow afternoon, it's a 12 hour drive. I started on my way here friday around 3PM and got in around 3:30AM(checked into a hotel at 7:30AM), and i have some things i want to do while i'm here...even though i only have 100 bucks to get back home. Looks like i wont be eating for the next two days...heh I've taken some pictures along the way, anybody want to see anything from my travels? Anyway, it's been quite a journey and i have to say that Pennsylvania is gorgeous, and i love driving through the mountains. I'm also finding out a lot of things about myself along the way, which is half the reason i left in the first place, to be out on my own and find out what i want in life. I have it figured out, but there has to be a second part that has to happen before i can move on any further in my life...anyway you dont want to hear about that. I just thought i would let you guys know that i've been out on the road and enjoying it. I'm at the Best Western in the King of Prussia area at the moment. Kind of a neat area, and let me tell you, i'm never going to Chester PA again...not for a while anyway, that place is creepy at 4 AM...i saw some dude dealing drugs right out in front of the police station... I'm still waiting to hear from one person. Anyway, i'm gonna head back to my room in a bit and get some rest because i'm getting tired of sitting in the lobby. Wish me luck on my return journey tomorrow, weather is calling for rain and thunderstorms, and i'm not sure if i'll make it with my current funds..oh well, that's half the fun right??

Sounds like you're enjoying it. Get some pics up when you can :)

If you need any money, sell your body on the streets :thumbsup:

Yeah the idea of whoring myself out had come up and i mentioned it to Redneck383 when i was talking to him online earlier...but i think philly is to dangerous a place to start off your career doing that...maybe when i get to Columbus Ohio...hehe

If you're hungry, go find some little mom & pop diner and ask if you can wash dishes in exchange for a meal :)

Oh come on.. Prostitution is so much more fun :)

I just remembered the hotel has a complimentary breakfast, so i'll at least get to have that when i get up tomorrow morning.

Josh it sounds like your having fun, driving around, especially with nice surroundings is something very calming, until you think of well...disturbing things.

Also if you need money I'm more than willing to send ya some, haha.

philly can be fun

coulda said whats up and sent me a PM you missed lil party here man.

Have fun on your trip. Do you have a GN yet, is that what you're driving? Let's see your pictures.

Well hell, just stock up on some of that. You should be able to get enough for a couple days.

Awesome man, glad to hear your out clearing your head and figuring things out. Good luck with the whole money to get home thing.

Thanks guys, i'm getting ready to head home right now, i'll put pictures of my trip up monday or tuesday. There's always bad things that go through your mind when you're alone but i dont let it bother me, i always try to stay positive. And no i'm not driving the GN. Anyway, wish me luck, it's supposed to storm in two of the four states i'm going through today, as long as i make it through the mountains first, cause the car i'm driving has horrible brakes.

:thumbsup: I'm waiting for a flight to Melbourne and my laptop battery is about to die....

If I had known, I would have offered to meet up with you when you got to Pittsburgh!!! We're on the GOOD side of the state! Bummer. Next time, hit a chica up!

All in all the trip went well, i succeeded in doing what i set out to do, and learned a lot about myself.

Damn, I was hoping you wouldn't make it back so we wouldn't have to put up with your drama anymore...










































:biggrin: Glad you made it back safe and sound Josh. Can't wait for the pics...

You learned alot about yourself... yeah... and kept Nexteling me each time you found something new!

*Beep*
Josh - "hey matt... guess what I just learned?"
Me - "ugh, what now?"
Josh - "I just learned I can take a greasy shit and clean up with out using my hands..."
Me - "Neat."
Josh - "Actually it's not... but I'll leave the maid a nice tip."

Excuse me?

I believe it was you beepin me... "Oh Josh i'm soooo worried about you, where are you at? have you made it there safely....ooohhhh...."

Then you just had to call and wake me up while i'm snoozing after 17 hours of driving....bastid....



:tongue:

Pfft... you have no proof of me beeping you like a little girl...

No proof at all!!! None I say...:mad:








glad you made it home though..

That's what phone bills are for...you know..incoming and outgoing calls can be checked... :wink:

nice. I plan on taking a random roadtrip during summer after senior year. Just get in the car with $1000 and drive somewhere. :thumbsup:

What do you think? Should I go north, south, east, or west?

Well unless you're getting on a boat west would be tough. Hell you dont need $1000, i only had 320....and made it back with $14.... I would say go south east to Arizona or something.

Hell you dont need $1000, i only had 320

but then again, you didn't eat for 2 days :p lol

When I get the new vehicle... which will most likely be in the fall.

I am for sure leaving California for at least two weeks. Maybe make the rounds of the country, meet some AF members. Maybe ban a few in person with the banstick of doom!
