    Default Weird things life brings...

    You can see the rocky mountains from a fucking hundred miles away. That's how big they are. Just edges all across the horizon. A sight like that make a man feel small.

    Gave up my desk for an eighteen wheeler. Pays a little less (to start anyway), but i feel a lot better. Got an office with a view and stuff. I don't havre to deal with my boss looking over my shoulder but i DO have to deal with my boss calling me all the time (BUT i'm like "i had no signal dude." when I don't wanna deal with him).

    Several SW girls have been solicited by me, that sounds so bad doesn't it, to come see them. I truly mean no harm. If asking "can i come see you dance" is wrong, let me know, okay?

    Okay, here's the crazy shit...

    To drive an 18 wheeler as a rookie you have to have someone called a trainer... Mine is a crabby assed baptist loon i call reverend steve. He takes the cake. This guy rules. I just HATE sharing the truck with him. I have to drive 11 hours a day listening to either Sean Hannity or Neil Daimond. It's enough to make you wild and noy a good kinda wild. I keep thinking "in a week i'm getting my own Rig, in a week i'm getting my own Rig..." well that's this week... last week it was "in two weeks i'm getting my own Rig... etc... etc..." He has a lotta stuff right odd about him, but he can sling a Rig here and there, so i iggy Mike Reagan (Righty Wingy Radioy!) and just listen to this dude when he's like "don't hit this girl!"

    It's weird, sometimes. You got this fucking thing that bends in the middle! It's one thing to drive it, it just goes when you drive it, but it's 100% craaaaaazy to back up. The fucking thing bends in the middle!

    One thing. Atlanta. Atlanta is a very pretty city. I hate driving in Atlanta. Why? It's not because of bad driving. Hell, the Atlanta drivers are great drivers, they have to be, there's 900,000 of them. If you were a sthitty driver in Atlanta you'd be roadpaste. Here i am 100 feet long "um, i need to get over."

    I rolled through Roanoak Virginia thingking "Susan-VA, Susan-VA!" Is that wrong? Just yesterday morning i was in Columbus Ohio at the Hogan yard there thinking "Kamery Ann lives here, bet she's Dancing tonight" wish to christ i could have gone seen her and her buds. But, Reverend Steve and all. Poop on Reverend Steve. I can not WAIT until i am on my own out there.

    Who knows, maybe i'll be able to make it to phoenix and meet my friends Bridgette and azamber! Never can tell. I just feel soooo much better than i have felt in a long time. Now if i can just get rid of the fucking "yay bush" trainer, i'll be on cloud number nine.

    HA!

    Absafuckin'lutely not! You were so close but yet so far! There is no excuse for you not making a pit stop, except for maybe the crabby assed baptist loon.

    Can't speak for everybody but it'd be great if you kept us up to date on where you'll be so we can help you refuel!

    You have an aircard and a laptop right?

    LOL hope you enjoy the open roads.

    WOOT!

    One cool thing is, i know where all the checkpoints are. Learned that one right quick down in Florida at a club called "Cafe erotica" (They give free showers, no shocker there). Cops were out and everyong in that club was freaking, i was like "Hang gon." Went out to the rig with the Bouncer, tossed him a pen... Hit up the Truckers on the road while he wrote the checkpoints down on his arm. I know where a traffic jam is 40 miles away. Sometimes more.

    Nine times out of ten the CB is for "Man, there's a hot chick in a blue neon" or "wanna fight motherfucker" so there's little reason to really keep it on as more than background noise.

    I have no aircard! NO LAPTOP!

    I will be getting both.

    I'm lazy.

    ^^OK so have you visited Cafe Risque yet? Might be the same place as Cafe Erotica... they advertise the free showers, and dances and food. I go past one on I-75 often. It is famous in Australia, my mates always got a kick out of the we dare to bare signs!

    Oh and one job I used to work constantly had truckers coming in for laptops or air cards, or both.

    There's a card that picks up a cell phone signal and gives you broadband internet access. That is what I intend to buy... when i build my laptop. Isn't that a BITCH, i know how to build a laptop, yet i'm driving a rig. Something is wrong with the world.

    If i can get them to send me out there, i'll go hug Madmaxine... tell her "hey, guys aint all that bad... wanna fuck"

    hehehe... I couldn't do that even in jest, she'd harm me.

    Or go meet my e-friend Gynger. That'd be cool.

    I hope i don't seem like i'm obsessing over sw girls. If i can i'd like to visit. I'm mainly trying to get away from a life i hated. So far, i like this one. Minus reverend steve.... Drawbacks, drawbacks...

    One thing I learned from being on the road so much. Pilot gas stations make this triple intensity coffee that is the shit! It will definately perk you up. In fact, it was suggested to me by a trucker. Also I have yet to get a decent fast food order anywhere in Alabama and I've driven through there twice this year.

    Mad you got me wishing I would have done the driving thing years ago! My wife and I were going to team drive, but like I told you before I hate driving in STL I'm sure there are places by far worse than that. But the pro's might just out weight the con's! I might just have to rethink this, you make it sound FUN!

    Madcap, I think your going to need a camera added to the laptop and air card package.... Then you can run your own road blog.

    Sounds like you are enjoying your new life Mad... I agree with Cherry though, you definitely need to get a camera and blog your trips. You're a fantastic writer, I bet you would keep all of us amused.

    Get an iPod to tune out the Neil Diamond and Micheal Savage. Really piss off your trainer and tell him your listening to podcasts of John Stewart and Bill Mahr!

    I used to work the I-90 and I-94 corridor, and my trucking custies would call me to see what city I was in so they could plan their log books around a well deserved strip club visit.

    You've gotta love the modern-day, eighteen wheeled cowboys!


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    FREE AT LAST!!!

    Reverend Steve has picked up the cross and gone his martyr's way. He was like "I'll pray for you," like he says to anyone to the left of Strom Thurmand and i was like "Uh, thanks, you do that..."

    What a great way to ruin a road trip, saddle someone with a fundie dittohead. My luck is... interesting to say the least.

    It's not something i ever thought i'd do, but i'm loving it so far. And that's WITH the Zealot in the truck. I'm REALLY looking forward to it without him.

    And, if last week is any indication, i'll be in Indy a lot.

    Supre thing! And blogging is an idea i hadn't thought of. On my cell phone i have a snap of what i call "Ode to an Ohio parking job" (It's one car sitting on top of another after an accident). Might be fun once i can have regular access to the internet again.
