i just got back from a week of driving across the country.

it really helped to smash most of my stupid redneck myths about south dakota.
(sorry south dakota, i'm sure yer great)

and i got to witness all the interesting geography that is the entirety of our beloved United Stated of America.
and i can say i've driven from San Francisco to New York City (although not in the same trip).
and i got to see swanky college friends whom i miss dearly. *sniff*
and i got the drama i wished for, even if it wasn't _my_ drama. ;p

and i saw chickens being transported via 18 wheeler.
and i begin to remember why i chose not to support such an industry years ago.

(but i'm still a weak-a$$ $ellout)
