When I thought I'd be taking a mini road trip I was thinking more along the lines of 2-3 hours...I was wrong. Roma Texas is about 5-6 hours south of San Antonio. In my opinion it should be considered Mexico.
So I hopped in my new little red suv with my pack of V-8 Virginia Slims (I remember why I don't smoke...there are too many reasons to name)animal crackers and headed down 281. I was in good spirits I set all the radio presets to the stations that played the best music had the wind blowing in my face and was ready to conquer Texas.
As I past Corpus Christi song #2 for the soundtrack came on...Bidi Bidi Bom Bom by Selena (may she rest in peace). At this moment I came up with the idea of naming my car (triggered by a scene in the movie Selena..."Selenasis car") I was having some difficulty thinking of a name until I past a sign for a town name Falfurrias (I like to say it with an Italian accent...roll the r's it's fun!). I instantly starting laughing so hard that I almost peed myself...
another town that made me almost pee my pants was Glass Cock hahaha okay so I'm really tired..or just really immature. But anyways back to Falfurria...It's a small town about 2 hours outside of San Antonio...when I say small I mean small...the population was about the size of my high school. So little Falfurria and I ventured into town just to check it out...it reminded me a lot of New Orleans probably because it was a ghost town. I think that's why I liked it so much.
I spent the rest of my time singing..talking to my car..almost crashing my car...driving in the sun...driving in the rain...killing approximately 600 butterflies and one lizard....and planning my next road trip.
At 4:24pm I arrived at the headquarters! I walked in and felt a little out of place...and it wasn't because I didn't have my red cross vest on. I am by far the youngest person down here...by about 35-40 years! Thank God I have a small patch of gray hair growing on the side of my head...I will be making sure those hairs stick up for the next 2 weeks. After talking to about 6 different people trying to figure out what the hell I should be doing I met Joanne who pretty much kicks ass. She's about 75 years old and is taking charge like nobody's business. She filled me in on everything to know and by this time it was 6:30...I was getting pretty damn tired so I found out what hotel I would be staying at....I'm the only one staying an hour away from headquarters. But it is all good my dear friends because now I get to continue spending time with Falfurria and singing to myself...also word on the street is that this hotel has the best free breakfast buffet!
Well it's been a long adventurous day and also one of the best but I am off to bed!
Peace Out
