So after days and days of driving through nothing but desert we arrived in another desert..Kinda cool. Well far from cool, it's like 700 degrees here. I sweated while driving, beat that bitches!
After Houston, Daish and I went to Austin for a night. Again a beautiful city but it was a quick in and out. We got to eat at PF Chang's which is an awesome chinese food restaurant and worked on some material. We needed to prepare ourselves for one hell of a ride across Texas to El Paso.
So after about 9 hours of pretty well nothing in the outskirts of nowhere we got to El Paso. What can I say about El Paso, chanty's and more chanty's everywhere but the hotel had free booze from 5;30-7:30. So we took advantage of that for sure and spent the night editing video(soon to be posted). See El paso is a border town with Mexico and they are kinda in war there because of the drug scene. As a matter of fact the hotel had a brochure that said " free 3 minute trolly to Juarez" So after happy hours(yes two) we called the front desk about that, she kinda laughed and said that it's no longer available but its only about a 10 minute walk. She followed that by saying that it's night time and that we shouldn't go if we didn't want to die. Yes and that is word for word. So a hard and long consideration we decided to not go. But it was tempting, well minus the death part. The next day we could see what she meant, right across a huge fence we could see the other side of hell...Wow it looked rough, my kinda place.
On to Phoenix we go...We had to cross New Mexico and all cars got stopped at one point to see if there were no illegal immigrants aka mexicans in our cars. They had one look at Daish(red headed sort of) and whisked us through faster than than 2$ champagne room. I did take the opportunity to asked them some questions, I don't think that was a good idea, but either way we made it.
So another 6 or so hours of nothing we finally get to another part of the desert, but wow it's a beauty here for sure. We did see some pretty crazy mountains, rocks and Cactus's so it wasn't a bust at all. We are now here in Phoenix for two days to work on some more stuff and prepare for maybe a set tommorrow night and then one final long drive to Los Angeles.
It's all coming to an end. I'd like to say that I'm sad that it's ending but not really. Living out of hotels is really tough. See because I'm moving there for about 5-6 months I had to bring all my clothes(which are really heavy), my porn collection, shoes, coors light cowboy hat, Big drinking mugs, etc. I didnt want to leave any of that shit in the Hummer so we gotta take it all in to the rooms everynight. It's really a hassle. To be honest living on the road wouldn't be bad with one or two bags but with all my shit it's tough.
So with that said I checked into my last hotel until LA...Cool! I'm soo pumped to get there and get settle and really focus on my career. Luckily I have Scott and Anetka there(cousin and his beautiful Girlfiend) and they are the best. They are party animals and just amazing people, so we're gonna rock that town together. Living there and trying to break in is not gonna be easy by any means but if I don't try I won't know. I didn't really think that I had it in me to drive this far without a plan either, but I did it. As of today I have put on over 4500Miles on the truck. That's like a little less than 8000Km's..That's insane! Luckily for good friends and great support that came along. I do have to mention that Daish(poopoo) is a nazi with Video's so that is really good. He wants to edit, and needs shit to edit so we tape. I needed that. Thanks bud!
So that's about it for now, I actually wrote this whole thing without a drink...I know, I know..that's why it got sappy at the end, haha. Humm but the good news is that this Hotel has free drinks from 5:30-7:30 as well. What a shame. One hour of drinking our own booze until free stuff, yep yep..
P.S. I bought a 3+ foot long peperoni stick!! Not gonna eat it but it can be used either as a weapon or a midget tester
Take care all!
