My life on the road.

Ravena Diner

The Souvie truck broke down last night. We spent the night on the side of the road sleeping uncomfortably in a truck. No joke, it was quite possibly the worst night sleep of my life. However, with the horrible timing of the truck breaking down its given me this wonderful opportunity to use internet at this shady truck stop in Ravena, New York.

These last few stops have been a blur. My days are consumed with folding selling, sleeping on cement floors and many laughs that with people I'm sharing this experience with.
I've finally had the opportunity to spend some time with Christen on the 4th of July. The corps had parades they marched in so we didn't have to sell on the fourth. We then left our tour for another tour, and I will never complain or make fun of our tour again for its thoroughness. The TM does an amazing job and so does our administration staff. It can't possibly be that easy to orchestrate 200 people to get hundreds of miles everynight.

I forget how much I love the north east of this country. Rhode Island is beautiful. so is Mass. its perfect actually. We drove through Boston. I really wish we could have had some time off there. Someday I will see you Boston!

The Cadets marched in two parades the other day. The second one was in Wakefield, Ma. One of my traveling companions has really wanted to see Superman so we tried to find a theatre. We ended up at the most glorious place I've ever been in. When I walked in I was told don't come back without ice cream. So I walk in, and there were trees made of candy. A trapeze school and a fountain that had a light show. it was glorious! You might think i'm joking, however it was pretty amazing.

As for my birthday, it sucked. We were up early and stayed up late. But thats ok, because today when I checked my email I had plenty of well wishes from people.

Somethings that have annoyed me:
Someone left my bag in the rain without telling me so all my shit smells like mold.
not doing laundry.
feeling lucky when I get to take a shower every other day.
people who don't understand I don't know about drum corps.
people who lie about having a girlfriend.

Somethings that I love.
traveling.
this is my job.


anyways I should go do a load of laundry.
mad love.
call me.
