So I'm back in Canada after a month down south travel all along the west coast, into Mexico twice and back up the Bible Belt. My feelings are quite mixed to the whole experience thus far. I met a ton of new people and seen cities that I probably would of never visited otherwise. But the truth is I am quickly going to forget about most of those people and the majority of the cities were fucking useless and full of racist hicks. I can not understand for the life of me how anyone could have pride in a country like the United States. I couldn't take a shit in the midwest with out seeing swastikas, white power or ICP carved into the wall. A women wouldn't sell the bass player in Ill Intent smokes because he has darker skin. He even had his ID ready. I watched the vice presidential debate one evening while in KC. The women who is running under John McCain is unbelievable. She doesn't believe that same sex couples should receive the same benefits as 'normal' couples. Wants to see church be more involved with state and is push for abortion to be made illegal nation wide. First off all, if church wants to have any part in state then they should start paying taxes like any other business that brings in a revenue. The scary thing is, I have met people on this tour that can get down with what this moron from Alaska is saying. Complete ignorance.

I spend a lot of time in the van and around venue just thinking. Im broke. Well I will be when my phone bill comes out in the next few days. I'm not complaining because I would much rather be with my friends than working 8 hours a day. Though to be honest, I am looking forward to getting back to Club Penguin. I really miss the people I work with and I am intrested to meet all the new hires. Its pretty cool that Alex works there now. He'll always be one of my favorite people in the world, no matter how different he gets.

I really should be writing about tour and all the craziness that has happened thus far, but there is just so fucking much of it. I could go on for days about getting a guns pulled out on us outside of a strip club, lighting off fireworks inside of some douchebags house, spending three days with an Ex-Juggalo, getting robbed by cops in Mexico ect ect ect.

I am excited to be home. Im leaving tour a bit early and taking a bus from Calgary to Kelowna on the 9th. I really want to see the BANE show and have no real interest in going to Edmonton. Im excited to see my family and friends. Especially my brother. Im also stoked to see my dog too. I really need to need to make money so I can go visit Sam. Hopefully work gives me the time off too.

Though my feelings about the tour have been mixed, it is something I want to do more in the future.

So were still at Tracy's house in San Jose. We played some little shit town yesterday in a backyard. We made a grand total of 8 dollars and sold no merch. Thank fuck Im not in this band.

San Fran was pretty chill. Saw the Full House house, but didnt go across the bridge. We saw it though. Good enough for me.

Today were going to Oakland. Its hard as fuck. I cant wait.

For some reason I am not able to receive any txt messages from anyone right now and that really pisses me off. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to see if it works itself out. I really fucking hope it does because calling Telus is going to be expensive as fuck.....fuck.

Alright I'm off for now. Peace. Love. Straight Edge.

Lots of malls yesterday and today. I didn't buy a damn thing. Everyone has fresh Vans except me. Maybe I'll get some soon. Maybe I wont.

Partying last night and tonight. I don't drink. But I dance a lot.

San Francisco tomorrow. Going across the bridge. Seeing the Full House house. Maybe a haircut. Looking forward to it. Actually.

So here is my second entry for my tour with Horizons around Western North America. We are currently staying in San Jose at Dan Don's girlfriends house. Its actually really nice here.The 11 hour drive was unreal. L:istened to so much good and shitty music. I think the highlight would be the Van Mosh Pit to Throwdown. Too rowdy for words. The weather is hot and were ready to hit the town. Theyve played two shows thus far that were not too bad I suppose. Decent draws, however they each had so many other bands playing. I hate shows that have more than 5 bands. Its just too fucking long.

I don't think we have another show for 4 days so were going to be chilling here for a while. Hopefully we spend lots of time out of the house because I don't wanna go stir crazy or whatever.

It was really nice seeing Sam even though it was only for two nights. This next 40 days should be a really good test for us to see how we deal with long distance and very little contact with one another. I'm really looking forward to November.

I'm at this really weird stage in my life, kinda like back to middle school. I find myself feeling awkward and out of place a lot of time. Sometimes not even comfortable with being me.Like in highschool I had a ton of confidence, but I just feel like I kinda lost some of that spunk......I dont know. Maybe I've just totally lost it.

The First 2 Days of Tour....

...hasn't really included much touring at all. What it has included is sketching around Westbank for almost 2 days. But I suppose it was needed as the van would of been totally sketch without. I dont know how many awkward hours spent in  Tings dads shop. Truth is i know nothing about cars. So walking around pretending what I knew was doing was a task that I spent a lot of time doing.

So once we got everything figured out we had the daunting tasking of finding a way to make the boarder believe 6 hardcore kids were going to a Mogwai show in a huge 15 passanger van....Luckly we got some chill (gullible) women and she let us through without so much as a bit of a hassle. As soon as we got across the boarder we headed straight for Jack In the Box and Beer, neither of which I  took part in. Ah well at least were in the Land of the Free

Tomorrow will be great. I finally get to see Sam. I still cant believe we didnt make it to that Tacoma show to see her. That was retarded. But tomorrow will be totally awesome. Time to catch up and do other cool stuff. eh? eh?

Horizons plays there first show with some pretty not good Christian Metalcore bands in Vancouver Washington. Looking forward to getting to meet the Ill Intent dudes.

Hopefully this starts going at better pace then which it started.

Peace. Love. Straight Edge.
