The blog

Well as my hundreds of readers probably know I have begun to not be able to write everything down in the Blog as I would have nothing to tell people when I got back home. So I will just give another update. I am currently in Red Bluff or something in California. I saw the Rays and they have an awesome church. It kind of makes me want to brave the heat and move down there for awhile maybe I will. It was really nice and I got to meet probably the coolest person I have met to this day a dude names John Ma'ea or something like that. Being down in that church really hit home with me that something was missing in my life back home and in general. I used to be excited about religion and God and then something happened I just stopped. I realized down there that I have always been a happy fellow but with the church I am even happier. This was a great realization and I can't wait to come back home to the Riv and begin living life as the true Alexis that laughs with the world instead of at it. Also I'm going to a monastery and I'm stoked about it.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. It has made my top ten things to do before I die to go down and explore it for a week or so. However that will be a different adventure.

Arizona

So on this whole trip of mine since I left I have not been pulled over or even really seen any cops. Then coming into Arizona I got pulled over. So the thing was that he was looking no real surprises here for pot and he was quite rude until he had searched my van and found nothing. Then he felt bad about being a hard ass to a nice guy like me and he tried to make small talk and told me some places to go in Flagstaff so that was all well and good. So hanging here in Flagstaff has been pretty fun so far I have only been here for a little bit but Katie and James Matthew have been awesome. This once again shows to me that the friends I have are the best people on the planet. Everywhere I go people open their homes at a moments notice and they are just so nice and generous. So thank you to everyone I have stayed with you guys and ladies all rock.

Oregon

I am having a wonderful time here and it makes me kind of sad because I don't really want to move on but it is getting close to being time. I can hear the road calling to me. From here in Monmouth I will be heading south to California and then to Arizona. I'm looking forward to seeing the redwoods.

Journey

So I just wanted to point out for the record that this trip was not embarked upon so that I could see many places. I came on it to see people that I love and get some personal time to be able to think about my life and what I want from it. If I only made it to Canada I still would have considered it a success. I have been having a wonderful time here in the mainland so far.

I am hanging out with Matthew (My step-brother) and then I'm heading back up to see Kristen for a hippe/pirate (oh yes that's right) festival and I think I'm going to go up to Portland and roam around the city that inspired Elliot Smith. The first part of this post is a little bit pointed so I'm sorry for that but I thought I would make that clear.
