three hundred and ninety-six miles. six hours and six minutes. one stop for gas, urination, and a drink. average speed: sixty-four point nine five miles per hour. thus ended the weekend trip to texas.
some highlights:
driving on I-30, I was passed by a man on a motorcycle, traveling at approximately 85 miles per hour. he was leaning back in the seat. he had his arms crossed over his chest. he was NOT FUCKING HOLDING ONTO THE HANDLEBARS.
I saw the world's largest cedar post rocking chair (according to the sign). I only wish I'd had a camera to take a picture.
I'd forgotten how many good-looking girls there were at college graduation ceremonies. oh that's right, there weren't any at mine.
I went to church with my mom on sunday. after all, it was mother's day, it was the least I could do. before and after the service, I had to run the gauntlet of people whom I hadn't seen in years, all exclaiming how I'd grown (out, not up, was the implied meaning), and asking silly questions about my current life.
during the service, one of the elders got up and gave a short talk about appreciating mothers. he somehow thought that 'siblings' meant the same thing as 'children'. thus, he used the word 'siblings' in place of children no fewer than 9 times. example: "...when a mother's children grow up and have siblings of their own..."

and you should know by now that church=stupidity. either that or it equals molestation of choir boys...which kinda falls under stupidity. hmm.
and as for the people you had to see, i try to avoid them...you may have got, you're getting fat, which i get all the time, but at least you didn't get you're not married yet? why dont you have kids? you should get a job thats made for girls. like a stewardess....and this mostly comes from my grandfather and his friends. and at least you only have to see this people on rare occasions...not every fucking day. ill give you a dollar to shoot me.
