Second Star to the Right and Straight On 'Til Morning

Man so I'm never done this much driving before in one sitting. I used to think driving 3 hours is long. We're talking like 330+ miles here, give or take an hour or two, providing how many gas station/fast food places you stop at to satiate your most basic of needs. I just got done driving back home, finally getting home at midnight, and it took literally 7 hours. We started driving at like 5:20pm. We did stop a couple times to get food and other things though. It takes a lot out of you. It was fun though, heck of a weekend, but man, it takes a lot out of you. It was worth it though, we had fun and the people we visited really enjoyed our visit, asking us to come back and visit again. Maybe not in the near future, but we will. It's always nice to make some new friends and just get to know people, you know. Branch out a little and extend that comfort zone. Gigs are great.

Road trips are fun. Generally it's about getting there, not getting there. Well it is and it isn't. Fellowship with your friends, stopping at gas stations along the way and drinking Arizona Green Tea, chewing on Jacks Link's Beef Jerky or a nice Slim Jim. The obligatory sight seeing. Nature. Enjoying God's Green Earth. Breathe, take it all in. Inner reflection. Good times. I do cherish these times. A temporary release from the hustle and bustle of one's everyday schedule, eschewing it for an ebullient escapade of epic evanescence. You are on a journey with an ultimate destination, and every waking moment brings you closer to that destination. My friends, I leave you with this for today.

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
There's not much left today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
