Since days here seem to run together, I can only assume it’s 4 days after my last blog- since Matt usually blogs daily and we’ve been in the car for 16 hours. That puts us at Thursday.
There’s not much to tell since Miami. We went to Orlando & I finally got to see my long lost friend Alisa who we stayed with. It was great seeing her & it makes me wonder when the 59 +1 can have a reunion. We drove 2 hours to St. Petersburg to join the Ibolds (one of my best friends from high school) for dinner & they came to the game with us. They were on vacation & decked out in Reds gear for the game- a fact I was very impressed with- especially after that 22-1 loss against the Phillies the night before. The Rays stadium was a dome, the first one I’ve ever been in. While I loved the smorgasboard of decorations around the stadium, the fact that it was inside felt a little surreal to me. Baseball is a spring/summer season sport & what’s the point of having it inside?
Last night, Matt, Alisa and I went to dinner at a great Japanese steak house (compliments of Mr. & Mrs. Davis- thanks a mil!). We got a great meal and were able to visit with Alisa after she got off work & before we had to leave for our long haul across the south. I drove from 4:30-9am & since I don’t have much to talk about in this blog, I’ll share something’s that came to my mind during that time:
- First and Foremost, if you ever thought listening to Dane Cook would get old- you would be wrong.
- Secondly, day-old Japanese food is the best food when you’ve been on the non-eating diet like I feel I have been on. Which brings me to point 3:
- the non-eating diet is the best diet I’ve ever been on because, in the words of the great Sparky Palastri “You see, when you skip a meal, your body feeds off its fat source. And if you skip enough, maybe your body will eat your ass.” Thanks for the confidence boost, Sparky.
- While in the middle of playing Super Troopers in my head for the oh- about the fourth time this trip- I started wondering what the semi trucks coming the opposite way would look like if they became Transformers (it was also at this moment that I realized how severe my ADD could be).
- I came to the conclusion that solitary confinement is cruel & inhumane, as there were a couple of times when I would have paid a trucker to talk to me. I also want to know why human teleportation hasn’t been perfected yet, and do we have anyone working on this?
- After my fifteen podcasts on “stuff you should know” I found out a very interesting fact: The world’s biggest serial killer was a Hungarian Countess. She killed over 650 people- and she had some accomplices.
- One of those was a Ujvary.
- Finally, I want to know when the American Idol tour will be over so I can buy Kris Allen’s debut album.
The mind of a 20-something female is very complex, and since I’ve spend a number of hours in seclusion while my co-pilot was sleeping, I’m going to take full advantage of the mall we are sitting at, be a girl for an hour and purchase myself a little pre-birthday present.
Hope you enjoyed my rambling, and I’ll see you in 3-4 business days.
