Holy shit Florida is DIFFERENT. I've only been here in New Smyrna Beach for two days and it is a whole different reality. Cheap strip malls, muggy weather, and filthy trailers. We can hate on how podunk Portland feels at times, but it's a megalopolis compared to this place.
Anyhoo, this new perspective makes me stoked on how much the west (best) coast has going for us. I mean, being a teenager out here, the rebellious thing to do seems to be to listen to Insane Clown Posse and have children in your 20's. Jobs are hard to come by, all the houses/malls look the same, there's nowhere to skate!
I got to meet three cousins, an uncle and a grandmother in law. My littlest cousin just turned three, and my dad decided to open a college savings account because he is totally awesome. Then he had too much birthday cake at her party and ralphed all over himself because he is totally awesome. I've got big shoes to fill...with puke.
I saw my cousin WIN a rock band competition at the Om Bar and Chill Lounge last night...it was pretty brutalepic. Actually it was four people pressed up really close against a tiny TV trying to play Rush and Metallica songs.
Tomorrow I fly to New York with pops...I hope we're not eating barf sandwiches on the plane.

Welcome to the Excellent Odysee
Whats up! This blog is here to document my Epic Journey to Florida, New York, Minneapolis, and Colorado as I make my way to San Francisco.
I am conceptualizing this trip as an Ultimate Wonderquest, and Excellent Odysee! I will use this blog as a space to store my thoughts and relay tales of adventure and mystery. Check in periodically to monitor my infinite reality, where space is the place, and the place is my face, and we're listening to the facemelter podcast.
What other trippy things can help describe my vacation?
My Mega-Itinerary is as follows:
Orlando: August 27th-August 30th (there is an August 30th, right?)
New York: Sept 1st-Sept 24th
Minneapolis: Sept 25th-29thish
Colorado: October 2ndish-October 20thish.
Portland: October 22ndish-November 3rd
San Francisco: November 3rd-Horizon
If you have ideas for any and everything epic, dymaxic, or facemelting that I can encounter/experience on my superior expedition, do tell.
