Minneapolis, Minnesota

Here we are, the farthest west I've ever been. Passing a Holiday Inn in Chicago a sign read "The Journey is the Reward." Somewhere else along the way Scott quipped, "It's like those people who see Jesus in a potato." So far, not a bad trip. We drove straight through to Sheboygan, Wisconsin and spent the night there. Stopped in Green Bay today and saw Lambeau Field and the Packers Hall of Fame. I was standing amongst three NFL Championship trophies. Unreal cool. The Twin Cities are enormous and impressive. Tomorrow we'll stop at the Mall of America. What else could people from Jersey do? Also gonna hit up the Metrodome. The skies from GB to here were immense and filled with stars. I really needed this time away.

Happy Stinking New Year

I have to drop out of school and get a second job to pay my bills. Mom and Pop are sick of carrying my sorry ass. I don't blame them, I would have given up on me a long time ago. They are the energizer bunny of unconditional love. Spent three days last week at Shawnee. Had a great time snowboarding and got to see Tanya for a bit. I can't get Nikki of my mind. She's smart, fun, ambitious, great looking, sexy as all hell, and 19. I see this ending badly.
I saw Rushmore on friday. This movie was INCREDIBLE. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to make movies. This saturday me, Frank, and Scott leave for our 9 day road trip extravaganza. Minnesota here I come.
