Funniest Line I Have Ever Said

At work, on AIM, in conversation with Tal, having nothing to do with this road trip:

BlindRC: So when are you going to the movie?
Crisisamoron: I don't think i'm gonna go anymore. I think i'm just gonna go home and take a shit.

Austin's First Attempt at a Money Making Scheme

I guess he figured out one way to make some money to get the bus converted. He's right and i quote from his mouth, "Portland is extremely sexual and into Experimental Sex."

Nerd Creeps on the Bus

What else can be said?!?!! There's going to be a group of idiot nerd creeps riding around to who knows where. i hope we get lost, i hope we lose our minds and i hope we meet plenty of insane maniacs that will help us out along the way. When's this dumb adventure going to begin?

What $1300 Can Fetch You

There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

As I was putting together this blog and trying to come up with a name/title, I remembered this photo of the four of us at the beach in Florida (along with 3 other amazing idiots who I equally love in word even though in deed I ghosted them out of the picture). To me the photo is an homage to our years in Florida and how we all became friends in that sun-soaked, fucked-up state. As I kept staring at us (fully clothed bafoons at the beach mind you) I thought of that Crimpshrine song "Tomorrow" when they start singing "the sun'll come out..." which in turn reminded me of that HORRIBLE cover of  "I Can See Clearly Now" from Screeching Weasel's My Brain Hurts (the only album I actually like by them; Josh wanted me to mention that he even deleted the song from the album). I'll admit that the title is extremely cheesy but it reminds me of growing up in Florida listening to one of my favorite punk bands. I added the bold accent to WILL because it felt even more feel-good like a bad self-help book or a made-for-TV movie (wink, wink) about 4 retards driving around the US on a "special" bus. I thought it also might keep our parents from likening us to that poor soul from Into The Wild or at least increase their chances of appearing on Oprah when we accidentally drive off a cliff in Colorado. Speaking of which, the only other working title that seemed appropriate was "There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out."
