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.
