This place is rough.

I'm just sitting in the library rockford, and for the second time this week a policeman walks behind everyone and looks over my shoulder. Someone told me that the reason they always ask for my ID is the "patriot act."

What the heck is that all about? It smells like paranoia to me. I couldn't get on a train in Chicago without ID.

Terrorists? What if it was a fake ID? Most of these people have never seen a british drivers license before..

How are they gonna know it's fake or real? I swear I've never seen so many police before, like they have here. I like police, but a paranoid policeman with a gun worries me a little. Remember the guy in London shot 11 times in the head from Brazil/ What did he do? NOTHING.. He's still dead.. that kind of fear causes people to make fatal errors. I hate to be involved while out minding my own business.. I'm having a hard time..

But I'm alive, dig?

Well, enough ranting, time to find a salad bar..

Oh, by the way, I ain't making this up!! Thanks for reading, it gives my day porpoise..

Oh God, don't get me started on the gorram Patriot Act. Bastages. I'll end up on a stump, preachin', and then things'll get political, and we can't have that. Gotten so you can't go in a library and just read without someone putting their nose in your business. Soon they'll be stopping us and asking for our papers in the street.

Honey, you are in a bad, rough, ugly place. Honestly, if you can get up some scratch and catch a bus to Texas, you'll find work. It doesn't pay much, but you'll work! Get out of that ugly place...goodness!!!

Or Colorado...playing for the ski bunnies.

Dang...You keep safe!

Ouch , a lot of bad luck there mate . Hope things improve for you .

Wow! I know Rockford, my ex lives an hour west. Imagine needing to drive that far *to* Rockford, on purpose, for shopping etc. because it's the only city around. Yes it's a pit of despair, surrounded by miles and miles and miles of corn and soybeans.

The only bands I remember seeing there are local guys playing bars for under $100/guy. No original scene except maybe some kids.

The KISS Family sounds awesome! I know it's tough when you're hungry but just try and enjoy the ride. Take some pictures!!! That scene is priceless, it can be a key moment in the road screenplay you write about this tour. When add in scary masseuses and strippers you've already got better material than most people, think how cool it can get if you mix in some fiction!!!

Hey dude,

I was in similar situaton a few years back when i travelled half way across the world with a girl and we ended up breaking up in Lisbon. Problem was, when we broke up she took my money and threw my wallet and my phone into the river. All I had left was my passport and papers. I ended up sleeping on the streets for a week until I met a gorgous English girl who was on a working/Holiday there. She let me bunk with her. She also payed for me to apply for a work visa so I could get some money to either get home or go back to London with her.

We ended up staying in Lisbon for 6 months together and i worked in a soccer store while she worked at her firm. I earned enough money to get back to Australia but chose to go back to London with her. When we arrived in London her Ex started hanging around heaps and It made me feel eally uneasy about the whole thing. I decided to leave london and come home 2 weeks later.

Too this very day I still recieve 2 to 3 calls a week from her, as well as countless facebook and myspace messages saying that she was sorry about what happened bla bla bla.

So yeah, things work out, but can then screw you over straight away. You have to be strong enough to know when to walk away, especially when your chips are down. I guess what Im trying to say is, hang in there. Brightness is aound the corner

Thanks, It ain't easy.. I had a girl invite me to live in Bondi beach. I would've, but she had more hair on her body than me.. And i draw the line at hairy nipples that aren't my own..

(If i said something offensive mods, just change it...Thanks.

)

Yep, it's a dry scene musically..

$100? Shucks, i doubt if even that's the case..

Oh it is definitely worthy of a story. You can't imagine what I'm leaving out.

There's an ongoing fight between me and the squirrel. He was in the kitchen again.. i'm gonna catch him eventually...

Hmm... I better think about rabies... There's no rabies in England. Then again I only saw one cockroach in thirteen years also.

It's snowing in Rockford.. It makes things look better..

Thanks, you guys are definitely giving my life a direction.. anything other than down is cool wit' me!!

I swear I'm gonna get that squirrel... i hope he doesn't carry a blade. Do squirrels actually like bread? Or is he trying to open the stale bottle of planters peanuts? He couldn't possibly smell that could he?

Well, at least he doesn't have a thumb..

DrayMiles · #71 12-01-2007, 04:25 PM

Well...

Today, I drove through the snow and we had lunch. There were 5 american women talking about immigration, mexicans, phillipinos and.... england?!

I had to listen in..

Hmm.. In america, I noticed that a lot of women will end every sentence with the word "like."

For example..

"He was.. like, telling me what he thought of her, and I was like, getting tired of it. And then, like, he like told me about her mom being illegal, cause she, like didn't tell immigration, like, about her kid like..."

Imagine 5 women using this, "like" vocabulary. I was like, stunned like..

Boy, america is definitely heated up over this immigration issue.

The girl then said that her friends were in England and she spent $100 dollars in a week, and that the ratio of pound to dollar was... (get ready...)

"like, twenty to one.."

Oh well,...

We had a drummer coming by at 1pm, he called at 10:30, and said he was on his way.

At around 12, he called and said he couldn't make it today because "his wife took the larger car and he couldn't get his bass drum in the one she left."

Yeah, right...

DrayMiles · #72 12-01-2007, 04:38 PM

uh, oh... One of the agents (not the one responsible for this mess, we haven't seen him in 2 days..) said "we have the 10th and the 11th in Nebraska for you."

Thank God!

Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled. Call me paranoid, but...

I am.

Hmm, just spoke to Jauqo, gave me the name of a drummer. I'll call him later..

Oh yes, I want to state some important information about "The agent" responsible for "The tour from Hell."

He legally changed his name to something Egyptian. Osiris? I was trying to make conversation and said "Is that really your name?" He is a scrawny little 5'2" white guy from New York..

He said "No, I changed it."

I said "Really, what from?"

Get ready for it....

"My name was originally FRED.."

"Oh... Ok.. Really? Fred?"

"Yeah, FRED."

D***, I should have known...

That explains it all, don't it?

DrayMiles · #73 12-01-2007, 04:47 PM

Hmm,

I just learned they're into something called "Wicker" and there are tapes upstairs of how to be a witch. You can subscribe to this dark haired chicks name on the box.

What the heck is going on here? I can see why/how Mid west postal workers/kids used to go mad here. What is there to do?

OOPS, sorry folks.. just having a tantrum.. I repeat, no offense intended. it's just my opinion... And you know what they say about opinions don't you? Ha!

I'll have more fun info after tomorrow's, audition and the strip club.. I promised Jauqo I'd send him a picture to prove I'm not making it up!!! (About the girl being "fit." that is!!)

I'm about to walk through the snow, bye folks.. or as they say in England..

"Cheers"

DrayMiles · #74 12-01-2007, 04:51 PM

P.S. The wonderful people giving me encouragement, like Txbasschk...

Bless you, thanks....

See you on monday.

I hope...

jondog · #75 12-02-2007, 06:08 AM

Squirrels are edible!

punkbassistfc · #76 12-02-2007, 07:01 AM

Hey dude, one thing you should try when your chips are down is to get arrested. You get a free meal in Jail.

WayneS · #77 12-02-2007, 07:19 AM

It all sounds like crap to me. If you think America is so bad, stick your happy ass on a plane and head back to England.

"It all sounds like crap to me. If you think America is so bad, stick your happy ass on a plane and head back to England"

Man...talk about overreacting?? The guy has said nothing bad about the U.S. and only nice things about everyone here who has encouraged him. He is plum in the middle of Red Neck Anytown and observing life in small town America...how do you think you would feel if you lived in New York City and all of a sudden found yourself in the middle of a cow field in Scotland or Wales?? Lost that's how.

Well, you're obviously human.
