This is going to be rocky so hang on to your thongs, (not you wahn, hang on to someone elses).

Something I meant to tell you a while ago. Millas sunglasses in UltraViolet are Hugo Boss. Just in case you wanted to know.

Trip update-left Fargo Monday morning to gray skies and brown earth. Minnesota was flavorless. Northern Wisconsin, on the other hand was all rolling hills and trees and beautiful farms. God, how I missed trees.

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~



Apparently some idiot at navcom thinks the fastest way from Beloit to South Bend is by going straight through the heart of Chicago.

CHICAGO
HOG Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders:
They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I
have seen your painted women under the gas lamps
luring the farm boys.
And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it
is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to
kill again.
And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the
faces of women and children I have seen the marks
of wanton hunger.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who
sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer
and say to them:
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing
so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.
Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on
job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the
little soft cities;
Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning
as a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,
Wrecking,
Planning,
Building, breaking, rebuilding,
Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with
white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young
man laughs,
Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has
never lost a battle,
Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse.
and under his ribs the heart of the people,
Laughing!
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of
Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog
Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with
Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.
Carl Sandberg



Down the Kennedy all the way to the Dan Ryan (the worlds most fucked expressway), over to the MLK and across the Skyway into Hammond and Gary, Indiana. Whatever that God awful smell is I just dont know. It cant be US Steel.

Tuesday morning-more gray skies and now snow flurries and at least as cold as when I left Montana. See ya Notre Dame. Northeastern Ohio is beautiful and so is Southwestern Pennsylvania (they connect). Rolling hills and trees, oh yeah! The Alleghany Mts. are a motherfucker, truckers own this road. Head south into Maryland and enjoy Catoctin Mt. before rolling into DC. Nationally known as the Capitol Beltway, 495 is locally known as the Suicide Circle. Find 95 south and youre still alive and youre gold all the way to Richmond.

Gasoline 294.65
Motels 117.98
Tolls 32.10
Being Home Priceless

Ok, thats done. Now I gotta say a couple things. First, Im thinking of starting a Philosophy group. Im gonna call it the Church of Sleeantology, maybe get some Hollywood types to join. Make it real secret. Give me a fucking break, its South Park for Christs sake. Its a God damn cartoon!

Have you heard about the snot nosed little pissant in California who got the City Council to ban outdoor smoking except in designated areas? She thinks that second hand smoke will take 8 years off her life. Who the fuck wants to live that long anyway. Shitting in diapers, unable to wash yourself, sitting in your fucking wheelchair with scrambled egg all over your face. Air pollution! Let me tell you about air pollution. Did you know that the most dangerous pollutant is methane gas from cattle? All that fucking beef we and the Japanese are eating is the most dangerous greenhouse gas. And what about the folks in Montana who live near these old asbestos mines dying from cancer and lung disease. Does she give a fuck about them? Maybe she oughta try living in Hammond/Gary, Indiana. You can see that shit in the air from Ohio. Or how about any city for that matter, get a rat to suck on a bus exhaust pipe for a couple of hours, then look at its lungs. I dont know guys, Im tired now, Im going to bed.

"Real Women" was pretty good. Parts of it pissed me off and I didn't like the way it ended unfinished...

The actress America is beautiful!
Curvy girls rock!

wahn:
You should check out Bill Hicks. I wanted to say: Create a Amazon wishlist and I'll send a DVD to you. Strangely enough the US assortment is different from the UK (do a search on Amazon):

Amazon UK

And even those DVDs in Europe suddenly have a release data in 2006. Strange, my flatmate from London had a DVD about him years ago and before I left the UK last year I saw another release of exactly the DVD in the link above ... Strange

Remember: This guy died in 1994 !!!
