Who am I?

I am a lovable cuddly innocent and timid creature.

Thanksgiving and RoadTripping








Well, I arrived in motel 6 St Louis, they have wireless Internet... anyways, so the drive went well... I had an almost perfect moment today, as I am driving West the sun is right in front of me... I am experimenting with music, so I was listening the majority of the day to Madonna... anyways, around 4pm... the sun began to set and it was right in front of me and it was glowing and orange and beautiful, then it was the song Ray of Light on the Ipod and I must say I was really really moved... I imagine the times in the old west, when they were moving there and building the train and trail blazzing and all that stuff... when the Pilgrims or whom ever were moving from the East to the West, they must have been amazed... it can be snowing and cold (and it is....) and then you just follow the sun... it is very unique... I wanted to text my dad and tell him thanks for just that moment made the entire thing worth the while... I took pics.. but I dont think it can really expose the moment, some moments you just have to experience... Maybe it was more spiritual as I had just passed the biggest cross I had ever seen in my life just moments before that... (I also took a little film of that... I see Jesus everywhere) also saw signs like "If you died today, where would you spend the after life?" as well as "Jesus Is Real"... The rest of the day I was listening to Christian radio... you know... I am a spiritual person.. yesterday I even heard a proper anti semitical sermin for the holiday... "these are not regular people he was dealing with (mathew) these are the circumcised... lawyers and professionals..." I must say it was indeed uplifting... actually what I did hear on the radio was a long 3 hour show, intellectual show with guests prof from Stanford uni and music producers and stuff about the music and work of Bob Dylan, I recommend listening to him read a poem he wrote in memory of Woody Guthrei amazing... 5 page poem he read ... great great...
Thanksgiving was OK. I thought, I as hoping it would have substance... but not really... the food was ok... that is an improvement on the food I have been having... bla.... I woke up hungry this morning so I had breakfast, the rest of the day I felt sick so no more breakfast... I went to a place called big boy... I got the doll :) that was the best thing that happened from that experience... So I spent the evening in Silver Spring, MD, and then woke up early and left to Columbus Ohio... a very very long drive, but it went ok... Rested and watched TV in lack of Internet presence...
I actually enjoy driving alone and singing and just relaxing... you know I realised that I haven't honked the horn once since I began driving and I haven't heard one being honked either, thus far I have driven about 1000 miles more or less... also they are nice Americans overall, even when you go into the gas station places they all say hello and smile at you and the men will hold the door for you and that in itself makes me feel more like a human being not to mention a lady :p than in many cases back home...I guess it is a factor of being less stressed out... it is nice, they call me Ms. and I am not a freak... just gives one ease...
Driving at night could be better though, I think that I may need to update my glasses... :( 
Anyways, I think I will go look for a laundry room now... so that I can wash my clothes... :)
More to come soon :) yet to tell you about the voyage from NYC to Newark... not that big a deal, just a very very very long time :)
