Out'n'Bout USA

Days 46, 47 & 48

Today’s thoughts:

dont want to wake up > am I awake? > am I in the shower? > I don’t want to go to the dentist > I’m glad I went to the dentist > LAUNDRY > This guy just looked me in the eye and didn’t say ‘hello’ back > (nothing for 3 hours) > I should finish the BRB Adventure blog > Na, I’ll just leave it open ended > it’ll be like it goes on forever > Peter Pan > finish the blog.

My last official day of the aaadventure ended in Minnesota with a groggy goodbye to a bro. And LesLee doesn’t know, but I pressed my lips through her cracked door and whispered goodbye.

The day before that I was out exploring Minneapolis - sort of. I visited The Mall of America and found out that it’s just a mall with extra anxiety. I walked around for an hour or two or something then went down the highway to chill with James for a bit. One of the first things he told me was that his girlfriend is stupid. We lold and relaxed then I went to this place called Yum! to get an extra thick slice of cake. I ate half the sin and saved the rest for the marathon home.

after the cakery, I went to some park by a lake and forgot I didn’t have musics on my phone, so I listened to some podcast guy talk to me for, what seemed, hours.

Picked up a call from Mike and was slightly excited that I didnt have to lift my head or anything since I had those microphone-headphones on. He told me where to meet him and LesLee for dinner. I arrived fashionably late and we scarfed some delicious mexican food. I liked the sink they had in the bathroom. Mike took a picture with a big scary marionette lady with a mustache. I stupidly formatted my phone so I lost a bunch of fun pictures of the last leg of the trip. I don’t feel great about that.

after dinner we walked around and saw all the tubes that connected almost every building in the city. A bum yelled at us for not responding to “I have this coffee cup”. We went back to their place and geeked it out on our computers for a while.

in the morning I got on the road to journey back home. Nothing fun happened. I slept somewhere in Ohio then drove to Connecticut.

44 & 45

ate a potato bomb at Village Inn. Jay thought about eating bacon for a minute but didn’t tell anyone. I also ordered blueberry pancakes - didn’t ask for no slime and got slime. Met up with Katy and Beatled it over to the river walk to scope the scene/walk Piper (Katy’s dog). tried to pet Piper. found a rape pipe, got in it, and relaxed. Jay almost didn’t make it out. tried to pet Piper. Jay and I got our crap together and drove to Casper where we were looking to climb a mountain. the mountain took fifteen minutes to climb and barely had an incline. we drove to a higher altitude and viewed the terrain. we felt important.

Drove higher, got bored, then sped to the mall. bought some wires for Katy’s roommate (her name is escaping me) and talked to a juggalo for, like, ten minutes. We ate at some sweet mexican restaurant, Guadalajara. there was a fountain in the middle of the restaurant. I think the hostess was a pygmy. we pulled into Starbucks blasting Marilyn Manson and demanded the teen behind the counter make decaf. pulled out of Starbucks blasting Sittin Up In My Room (I think). Dropped off wires at Katy’s place. tried to pet Piper.

Arrived back at Jay’s place and slowly and sadly gathered my things, packed up the car, and went to sleep. Woke up before the sun did and said farewell to Jay.

Drove for 20 minutes and got pulled over by a police gentleman. Got super nervous because my registration ran out the day before. I suppose the cop overlooked it and sent me on my way with a warning. Drove at reasonable speeds the rest of the day. Had an emotional first half of South Dakota - missing all my bros from home and all over. Felt good to know I was headed toward more bros in Minneapolis. Listened to Radio Lab most of the way - love it. Danced to Discovery twice in a row.

arrived in Minn. a smelly, greasy mess. high-fived bros then went to dinner in sweatpants. Got ‘zoned at Old Chicago. Mike couldn’t hold up the glass and LesLee’s eye went berserk. Relaxed then went to beds. Tomorrow I will be roaming about the city.
