Lately I’ve been doing things in an attempt to make myself into the person I need to become. A chance to be a better person. It was a difficult road getting here and somethings were harder to do than others – some in the end were easier than I thought. My Something New was about finding things that would better me and find things that I could be interested in. It was meant to broaden my horizons. So, I think the next step in all of this is to do something I never thought I could.

Sometimes the unexpected happens and an adventure can happen.. Late one Saturday night two friends took a detour on the way to the Broadway Bar in Downtown Los Angeles and ended up in a far different place. What started out as a simple outing became an unplanned road trip to Sin City.

As always, a week behind and a dollar too short. This Something New is really the Something New of last week and I still have yet to find one for this week, but ignoring that, let us continue.

On an unassuming Saturday morning the ocean called to three men brave enough to step up and master its wily ways. They faced grueling obstacles both man made and nature caused. They faced sleeplessness, searing heat, and poison yet they returned home triumphant! The ocean was no match for these brave men and in return it opened its bounty to them and showered them with splendor.

On July 2nd, 2008 AD the universe conspired to put into place a series of events that would turn what was supposed to be an ordinary day for two young programmers living in los angeles into the “Best Day Ever”. The story involves a burger, a magic glove, and lyrics to an old Disney song. Interested? You should be.

A roadtrip is a nice way to get away from it all for a period of time.  Last week a friend of mine, Arman, got into USC School of Accounting and decided it would be a good time to take a roadtrip.  Our plan of escape, hop in his car and head east towards Arizona.  Our visit included a visit to meteor crater and a visit to Arizona’s Petrified Wood Forrest.

I am pleased to say that his car thoroughly smelled like cigarettes after the trip and that the biggest surprise to us that there was  snow in Arizona – who knew?  I thought Arizona was a desolate wasteland that the rest of the country had forgotten.  I was mistaken.  So along with the Grand Canyon, Arizona actually has something worth visiting, even if the way there was plagued with flat barren land.

Unfortunately for us, Arizona was in the middle of a cold spell and cold, strong, gusty winds were present the entire trip.  1234 miles later and we’re back in LA and back to the grind.  Whoo Hoo.  To those who didn’t go, be glad – if the wind didn’t get you, our farts would have.

The roadtrip is a favorite experience of mine.  To me, the journey is sometimes more important than the destination.  It gives people a chance to bond all the while experiencing America at it’s finest.  I love stopping at rest stops along the way and comparing them to other rest area’s that I’ve been to.  I love stocking up on beef jerky and drinking energy drinks to keep me awake as I drive.  While this roadtrip was nowhere near as long or as spectacular as my “Sponge Bob Visits America” roadtrip, I must say it was still quite enjoyable.  Here’s to seeing you on the next roadtrip…
