OMG!!! New Post!!!

Well I am on a cross the country trip currently in Albuquerque after two days of traveling from Chattanooga. I got a couple of stories and some info about states you should(nt) visit.

First:
In order to get ready for Nationals, I had to stock up on some food and drink. So I wonder over to the GNC store which sells anything from vitamins to gun powder. If you havent been into one then let me give you a little layout. The cashiers desk is in the middle surrounded on all sides are certain sections one with vitamins, whey protein, gels/bars, pills for football players, and the untouched herbel-natual-vitamin section. The employees are not some typical teenager but a really big-muscular-body-building-freak who-for-some-reason-has-very-little-patience and-has-a-high-temper working at the desk. I go in looking for muscle milk (for the ladies and the taste) and some gels. He is talking to another meat head while I head over to the muscle milk section. I listen in:

[macho man talk/on]
Meathead: Yeah...I work out like...5 days a week. You know the biceps and all.
Employee: Awesome
Meathead: I was wondering if I use this type of protein powder it will help me.
E: Totally...this protein powder helps you build muscle and recover quicker.
M: Cool so when do I drink it and stuff?
E: After each workout session.
M: I like to eat chicken not much of a read meat person but I try to when Im doing like 3 hour workouts.
E: Yeah...so what flavor you want?
[Macho man talk/off]
*at this point I have succesfully found my strawberry flavored cytomax muscle milk..tastes awful but i know its fine within the doping controls AND its on sell!!!*
[Macho man talk/on]
M: Where's the chocolate? Yeah I dont want none of that girly strawberry stuff
E: Yeah chocolate is the best flavor
[Mach man talk/off]
*I stare down at my discounted-strawberry-flavored-muscle-milk and almost cry but I manage to compose myself and hide the label from 'em and quickly escape to the gel and bar aisle.*

So I have been to a couple of states I have never been to before: Arkansas and Oklahoma. Arkansas was alright saw the Mississippi River through Memphis which was nice. Anywho, Fort Smith, Arkansas was home to a very nice Marriott and the Lil Wayne concert down the street. After being asked and declining...oh say...10 offers to buy Lil Wayne tickets I decided to drink my strawberry muscle milk instead and watch some TV.
Oklahoma is pretty much a flat Alabama. Bad roads, hot, and no teeth.
Texas or the panhandle part of Texas, also known as hell. I mean there is NOTHING in this part of this desolate country. It looked like something filmed off of No Country For Old Men. The wind was howling and the heat was brutal. Carpenter summed it up best, "David, you must really hate this place, flat, windy, hot, and desolate." I responded, "I guess this is where Satan spends his winter and spends his summer in Belgium."
After driving through my hell, we appeared in the great land of New Mexico. Just take Texas and take the macho-Texan cowboy motto out and add a little bit of green and some taller shrubs and that sums the first part of New Mexico up. The second part of New Mexico is hell for everybody else as it is mountainous. We got caught up in a cool lightning storm outside of Albuquerque so New Mexico is moving up on my list a bit...So tomorrow we head out to the border of Cali and Arizona. Should be nice and hot....
