Crime: The Path to Adulthood

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

I came across an editorial in the Winchester Sun calling for Kentucky to allow all juvenile court proceedings and juvenile records to be made public at 16.

Crashed on the couch in Ben’s house last night. Woke up and wrote a bit this morning, then Ben made me breakfast. It was really interesting being there, because there were so many people coming and going all the time. It’d be so cool to […]

Crap, day 21 that is three weeks. I have been living on the road for three whole weeks. That is an amazing amount of time. I feel like I’ve been doing this forever, I’m really getting used to it. The first night I went insane […]

Today was probably the least eventful day in awhile. I started out at the hostel, got a shower and got back on highway 1. I was really behind schedule, I was a day behind and after looking at the maps & itinerary I didn’t give myself nearly enough time to […]

Win or Lose; Kill or Be Killed; Lets Wipe Out Them Towelheads

The Wisdom of Change defines the War on Terror:
This is a war in which one side must win. Because there is a disagreement on culture. The radical Muslim forces we’re fighting against will not compromise on many of their stances. If they win, we will not be able to vote, drive, or hold a job. […]

This morning I went looking for a Catholic church, I found one and went to mass. It wasn’t a huge town so I think they knew I was new. They were all very nice though. I made some oatmeal after church and then hit the road.
And wow, […]

Ozzfest a Shameful Embarassment

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

At Iron Maiden’s last show as part of this year’s Ozzfest tour, their set was shamefully sabatoged by Sharon Osbourne and the other folks running the tour. While trying to perform to an audience of 40,000+ the band was pelted with eggs and other objects, had the PA turned off on several occasions, and […]
