| It's a long road... |

Maybe you haven't noticed, but for the past 8 months I haven't been around. I haven't been anywhere near around. I guess you could say I went on a journey to find myself, as cliche' as that sounds it's true. I've seen many things, I haven't before. I've done many things I haven't before. I don't know if I found myself though. Either way I've decided to turn back on this road I'm on. For now anyways. It's a long road and I've covered much of it, though there is still plenty more to see. Some may think this is the wrong decision, seeing how I've come this far. But I think I never really needed to find myself. I always knew where I was. I just needed to wake myself up. I needed to live a little. I did just that. I am more aware of things now than I have ever been before. Just because I'm turning back for now doesn't mean this road ends for me. The people in my life where I once was mean too much to me for me to continue. If I were to continue I would never see them again, this I know for certain. Life on the road is far too interesting for a person to just turn around. It did suck me in and it's taken me a long time to come to this decision. It wasn't easy. I don't even know if it is what I want to do for sure. I've saved enough money to go anywhere, yet me aim is for home. As much as I may talk down about Michigan, it will always be my home, and it will always mean more to me than any other place. This much so far, I've learned. The more places I've been, the more pride I got out of being from Michigan. I won't live out the rest of my days there, but I do want a couple more before I leave her for good. Then I don't know where I'll go. I have more to see, before I decide on anything. California looks good, but I can't conclude that until I've seen more... I will see you all at the end of April... |

If you like Bill Maher, or think religion is kind of hilarious, you should watch Religulous. I thought it was good. |

So there's this movie that came out last year and is now on DVD. Yet I've never heard of it until now. It's called "HEll Ride". Awesome movie. Scope it out. |

It makes me feel good when I walk into a Wal-Mart and pick up the display guitar for Rock Band 2 and wow a crowd of 11 year olds. I was only playing on hard and it wasn't the most difficult song, but I don't believe I've ever got more compliments in my life. Thank you 11 year olds, for making me feel like I've made a difference in the world. |

Forget it. I found the answer. It was "Mother Of Pearl" by Roxy Music. Which brings me to this...
Well I've been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of life's inner meaning
And my latest fling
It's the same old story
All love and glory
It's a pantomime
If you're looking for love
In a looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
I've been looking for something
I've always wanted
But was never mine
But now I've seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing
Very Holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus: even Zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian Club love
A place in the Country
Everyone's ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't change you
For the whole world
You're highbrow, holy
With lots of soul
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into-view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throwaway kisses
The boomerang misses
Spin round and round
Fall on featherbed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
We'll forget your past
Oh mother of pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture cameo
Oh mother of pearl
So so semi-precious
In your detached world
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl |

Is anybody else as excited as I am for new episodes of Survivor Man? First episode of the new season was sweet. |

So I'm working in a bean canning plant right now. I'll be purchasing a Motorcycle pretty soon I think. As much fun as hitchhiking across Alabama was, I need to get too and from work here for the time being and people seem to think my luck won't be as good here in the desert. We'll see though. I'm thinking come spring I may head for California. It depends on how things are going here, whether I have my own place here, how much money I have saved, and how my social status evolves over the fall and winter. Peace and love, Briskey. |

So the past 3 weeks have been pretty crazy. Alabama was good but not good enought to stay when certain people didn't show and ride opportunity presented itself. So I am now in Tucson, Arizona. We're staying at Chris Johnsons moms apartment. We arrived yesterday and today we already started looking for jobs. It's looking like we're going to be here for some time. If we do get sufficient work, we may even get am apartment of our own. I know I said I was going to walk a lot of this, but hitch hiking has been working, and we met a trucker going to Arizona, so that worked really well. We only did a grand total of about 60 miles of walking with our packs in Alabama. Anyways, leave me comments because I enjoy reading them. What's going on in Michigan, let me know. Peace and love. Briskey. |

I'm not proud of what I did today. But I think it needed to be done. |

|
| I'm in Missouri right now... |

I'll be on a train all day tommorrow and I have no book to read. Evidently people in Missouri aren't big readers either because the selection of books around is piss poor. This irritates the shit out of me. I'll be back in Detroit after a 15 hour train ride tommorrow. Fun shit. |

Let us be lovers,
We'll marry our fortunes together.
I've got some real estate
Here in my bag.
So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
And Mrs. Wagner's pies,
And walked off
To look for America.
"Kathy", I said,
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
Michigan seems like a dream to me now.
It took me four days
To hitch-hike from Saginaw.
"I've come to look for America."
Laughing on the bus,
Playing games with the faces,
She said the man in the gabardine suit
Was a spy.
I said, "Be careful,
His bow tie is really a camera."
"Toss me a cigarette,
I think there's one in my raincoat."
We smoked the last one
An hour ago.
So I looked at the scenery,
She read her magazine;
And the moon rose over an open field.
"Kathy, I'm lost", I said,
Though I know she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and
I don't know why."
Counting the cars
On the New Jersey Turnpike
The've all come
To look for America,
All come to look for America,
All come to look for America. |
