Thanks for noticing I've been gone for a month J.
I guess I shouldn't miss a thread that has my name on it. I was on a trip to tour the battlefields of the American Civil War. For some reason, I stayed up for about 38 hours straight when I got home. I never got tired and finally forced myself to go to sleep, it was weird. Here's a copy of my post in another forum:
I just got back from a hectic month long tour of the mighty United States and I hope to get settled back in soon. We drove from southern Colorado to Pennsylvania down along the east coast and then back through the south, down to Texas and finally back home. Our main stop point was Virginia as the purpose of this trip was to tour the battlefields of the American Civil War and overall it was a blast, though pretty crazy. Went to D.C. and numerous other big cities, took countless pictures, picked up 8 billion brochures and souvenirs and even went down to Mexico. (they're a little crazy in those border towns, I tell ya what.)
A couple notes:
-From Kansas to eastern Ohio was the longest stretch of NOTHING I have ever seen in my life.
-Northerners(aka Yankees) can not cook worth a damn. If they had to prepare a meal to save their lives, the entire population would perish. How I cherished my short time in the South (Louisiana) and finally being home.
-Queen (the band) fucking rules. I listened to very little outside of that group for almost a month.
-Richmond is the nicest big city I've ever experienced and Washington D.C., while interesting and historic, would be the greatest pain in the ass of a place to live that the human mind could possibly conjure up.
-I rode a train for the first time.
-The American Civil War is one of the most epic events in history and without a doubt the defining moment of this country.
-I have to re-iterate the fact that I didn't eat a decent meal from home until Gettysburg at GENERAL PICKETT'S BUFFET. That's sad.
I hope I've offended some of you with those statements.
