Still driving in nowhere-TRW

Still driving through this crazy place, still folloowing the naked girl sillihoutee on the mud flaps of the truck and wondering if there was an actual model fort those.

TRW here.....asking why me? Because I'm suppose to learn something. The Kid is laughing at these sites. He's never seen this stuff. I point it out, and The Kid gawks...and I don't blame him.

Rustic stick fences, made out of the trees that were cut down so they could make the fence and have acres of weeds. Somewhere there's a good reason there, but I doubt it. Acres upon acres of land on both sides of this 2 lane road, and I'm still driving in the opposite way of the highway. The land is dotted by a house or a shack here and there or a little toe head running about.

So I drive with my knee and write these words. Dangerous? It depends I suppose. I can drive perfect with my knees. If you can't then don't do it!

Kickin it in cracker toe head central, that's right I'm down with the FL whitey clan (for now).

Off the beaten path-TRW

TRW here.......We left at 6am, and now it's 9am. We were flying through Fl cow and horse country when suddenly bam!!! Traffic. It sucks when you have to go from 95 to 10mph. Wtf mate?

Now, suddenly, I275 is closed. That's damn convenient! 4 lanes of free flowing, fast moving traffic suddenly has to come to a screeching halt with in 1 mile. If that's not bad enough, we have to merge into 1 lane. Then they tell us to get the hell off of the highway. I guess that's fine and dandy for all of the gps yuppies, but me? Well, I'll just follow the big trucks, they usally know where they're going even if it is in the direct oposite of where the highway is, who am I to judge right? if ti wasn't meant to be, it wouldn't happen.

So I drive through a cemetery of old road side fruit stands, dilapidated old tin roofed cracker houses that people are still struggling to live in, and mail boxes on the side of the road that don't seem to belong to houses. i wonder if there were houses for these mailboxes at one time, or if they just started putting up mailboxes in hopes people would move there? Cow breeders, horse breeders; this is where the future rodeo animals come from, and I question the sign: "Watermelon Park" Is that a city? Is it a road? Is it a town? Which one? I guess they just added the sign, and the locales know what ti is and that's all that counts.

Signing off....somewhere around this watermelon park, and have no want to spit the seeds out.

Comics - Learning devices

Comics are often seen as ridiculous and stupid by adults. I guess back in the day, they were pretty brain numbing. The comic books of today actually delve into important social issues and ideas. Here are a few articles on comics of all sorts.

Peanuts are in a classification of their own. the learning that can take place in them, is phenomenal! I suggest anyone pick up a small book of Peanuts. If you have learned or taken away something, I would be greatly surprised.

www.associatedcontent.com/article/2016256/peanuts_history_textbook.html

- Yes, You read this right. This is an article as to how Peanuts can be a historical textbook. Yes, it is possible. Why wouldn't it be? The Peanuts were written in the middle of the time that they were speaking and making commentary on. Whenever an author is writing about the time he is in, you get an insight you don't get from the historians. This is what the Peanuts comics are doing.

www.associatedcontent.com/article/2016094/fantagraphics_printing_complete_peanuts.html

- That's right! All 50 years of peanuts are being reprinted. How cool!!



The following links are articles on how to begin collecting and taking care of your comic books. If you're interested in beginning the collection, or you're interested in comic books - these articles are for you.

TRW on Dunkin' Donuts

Damn dunkin Donuts! That's right, I said it!

I fuckin TRW said it - DAMN Fuckin Dunkin Donuts!!

You don't keep America running, you keep America misspelling Donut.

Is it really that hard? Is it really that hard to spell the word? The morning creation has been around a little longer than you guys you know? you didn't invent the damn thing. In fact you haven't even changed or perfected anything. You've merely copied what great icons of America such as Winchels and Krispy Kreme have done. The only thing they have done is added some "different" coffee. OOOOOhhhhhhhh!

So we should be ok with that and let them tell the youth of America that the correct way to spell a pastry that is made with "dough" and was the "nut" of the other pastries, or the left over parts which is why it is called a Doughnut. But, that damn place either couldn't get the rights or their wanted to be clever and said we'll call them donuts. Then they slanged out the first part to "dunkin' " That entire name is so improper, I want to take an axe to it every time I see it!!!

Damn Dunking Doughnuts!!

www.associatedcontent.com/article/2015768/the_new_gi_joe_toys_compared_to_the.html
- I'm old enough to know the difference between old GI Joe, and new GI Joe. I remember when GI Joe first came out. I remember when GI Joe was a new novelty. Now there are a number of kids that arte flocking to the toy store or throwing fits in front of GI Joe action fingers. But have we missed the great ideas of GI JOE? Especially when the movie preview is accompanied with "American Bad Ass" by Kid Rock.

www.associatedcontent.com/article/2007636/a_way_to_have_kids_build_their_own.html
- Let the kids build thier own toys, and ohhh wow. Kids of all ages, 2 to 99 will love this creating of their own toys. Toys, toys, toys, there's always room for toys.


www.associatedcontent.com/article/2007628/making_foam_bath_toys_for_kids.html

- For the younger of the new generation. Stop buying expensive shit. We're in a new economic environment. Don't always think you have to buy stuff. As the new ALlstate comercial says, "maybe we have learned what's important." Well, the pieces and creativity of making your own stuff is less expensive than going and buying it. Even at Walmarty prices.

www.associatedcontent.com/article/2013804/mattel_is_taken_down_by_the_rightful.html

- Mattel is going down. Mattel got rocked. Mattel, yes you deserve this. For once, the rightful people got their due. Bratz - They were never mattel's to market. Bratz-A stolen idea. Bratz-That's right, those little pouty faced girls were stolen from their creators, and now Mattel has to pay them royalties and more.


Read these articles for the fun and enjoyment of toys! Toys are fun. Toys are the reason most of us work.

TRW - the trip begins

TRW here....So we're racing down the Fl highway. Making great time, hitting the booster and loving life. Passing the cars like it's nothing, and watching the fog roll in. You just have to stop and take a gander at the beauty that is the early morning fog. Wow! The fog builds and builds and builds and then just can't help itself and it spill out over the road, and the sun catches all of the beautiful sparkles of the dew....is there anything better? Why of course there is. fuck why not? But, I'm just saying this is great! And if you're not here right now, right at this moment then you'd miss this.

Who cares what's going on with the job, the kids, the anything - just sit back, sip your coffee and watch the fog roll onto the highway as you barell into it. As the big trucks fly into it, you can see the air current s suck into the fog like a divit in a donut. Donut....are you serious? That damn dunkin donuts! I'll get into that damn place later!

Well just getting on 275....and the trip begins!

TRW posts--Chad

Ok, folks....my loyal few readers.

The TRW posts are slowly coming in. As soon as I get the e-mails, I put them on the Blog. I've received a few, but they're hard to piece together. Alot of them are jumbled up...like pieces of thought. He told me to string them together, because damn it I'm the writer and he's not. The only thing I can say is, I'm too busy for that. So, what you will be getting are exact e-mail cut and pastes. This is TRW in full form.

In between the TRW posts, you'll see my writings...please look at them. You never kn ow if I've provided info that just might help you out.

TRW 1st post

OK folks, well here we go. We're traveling the country and hell why not. Chad has allowed me to write to you guys and I'm glad he did. He's a good fellow, and a good writer. Me? Well, I'm just a good bullshiter I guess.

A little bit about the trip - Me and The Kid will head out of the ranch here and head on up north. Final destination seems to be the Rocky Mountains. We're off on a journey, let me correct that, I'm off on a journey of self discovery and, correction of my life path. As for The Kid, well he's not writing this post so I don't know what the hell he's doing. I guess I'll ask him.

He says that he's here because I'm here. See, this si why I don't ask him in depth questions like that. I want to see the US for what it is, and what it isn't. I want to see if my old thoughts and ideas still hold true to the realities of my past, and if my old thoughts are still mine. Maybe I have seen another world and another version of life since I've come back to the States, who knows. That remains to be seen. Maybe this is just a shit hole like I left it, and my entire trip will lead me to the realities I already know. To quote Writer Jackson: We are traveling to see the person we are and already are, we must just be reminded." Well, maybe he's right.

So we go through GA, TN, a little bit of KY, scoot on over to the IL and then truck on into the MO. After all of that, we cross the good old MO into KS, and traverse KS to the great state of CO. After we hit CO, we're Mountain bound.

Well that's the trip, and we're heading out. Should take about 2 days full driving. What's waiting for us? Who the hell knows....

It's not the destination it's the adventure along the way.

The beginning of TRW-Interview

Interview with Thadious Robert Wizner aka TRW


If I'm going to have TRW be a guest blogger, I figure you should know a little obout him. So, here is an interview I held over the phone with TRW. I figured it would be best to keep it raw and uncut, so you would get the real and unadulterated TRW.

Me: Wow, Thad how the hell are you? I haven't heard from you in...

TRW: It's TRW. Chad, you know I never like that name. Why do we have to start like that?

Me: Uh...Sorry. Haven't changed much....

TRW: I'm a completely new person, and a new creation. But, I just don't like that name. It's TRW or Thadious. Period. So, cool 'bout the blog thing?

Me: Definetly. I was wondering if I could interview, and if that interview could be this conversation? I mean if you're

TRW: Cool. That's awesome. They should know somethin' 'bout me right? Let's see...I was born from the fire of a god spitting out the dredge of the world after he cleansed it. I named myself upopn realizing my creation, and stood for all that is perfect.

Me: Seriously.

TRW: Fine Chad. You ask the damn questions then.

Me: OK...sorry. Um, well...let's start with the beginning. Where do you come from? Where were you born? Why should people read this?

TRW: You don't give interviews a lot do you?

Me: No why?

TRW: You're suppose to ask one question at a time. It's ok Chads, I'll work with you on this. I see I'm still teaching you. {A large explosion is heard}

Me: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!

TRW: I don't know. Ok, me huh?

Me: Thadious. That was a huge noise. What the hell was that.

TRW: I don't know chad. I don't really care. Can we continue? Good. It doesn't matter where or how I came about, only that I am. I have created who I am, what I have. People have helped me, raised, loved me - That's all that matters.

Me: Ok, TRW. Come on. Why shoudl these people read this?

TRW: I don't fuckin know. They read it or they don't. They either want to hear what I say, or they don't. Whther a whole bunch of people read this, or a few peopel do really doesn't matter to me.

Me: So why did you want to do this?

TRW: My gut said it was a good idea. Plus, I wanted to talk to you and I knew you needed to be in my life again.Mayb e for you, maybe for me.

Me: O.k, lets go with that. Do you remember when we first met.

TRW:{A very loud grinding sound occurs. TRW yells over it} Jesus fuckin Christ ChadZ. What the fuck? The past is but the past. We are in the present. We live in the now! We create our future.

Me: What the hell was that sound!

TRW: Exactly! Good question. That is happening in the now. Good job.

Me: Well?

TRW: What?

Me: The sound. What the hell was that?

TRW: I don't know. Don't really care.

Me: What? Fine! {The sound of me kicking my chair across the room is heard} What about this kid. Who the hell is he? When did you adopt a kid?

TRW: Ahhhh....The Kid. He's fuckin great. You have to wonder about the youth of today. He's a good kid. He's been around me for about a year or so. We've had some good times.

Me: Where did he come from?

TRW: Do we have to have the birds and the bees talk Chassy?

Me: I mean, is he your...um.....biological child?

TRW: He's my kid...but my genes don't make him up. It'sw nice though, because I don't feel bad the parts of him that he can't do anything about. Liek, I'd feel bad about giving someone my nose. But he was given all that shit pre-me.

Me: So, you're nbot going to tell me anything?

TRW: Nope....that's what the blog is for. To tell a whole bunch opf stuff.

Me: Well, I look forward to reading it.

TRW: Me too. I'll talk to you later.

ME: OK.

Training the Pole Vaulters

Do you know a pole Vaulting enthusiast? Do you pole Vault? Are you a pole vaulter? Do you coach pole vaulting? Are you an assistant coach in pole vaulting? Then these pole vault articles are just for you. The pole Vault is a very unnatural sport to learn. The Pole Vault is the only sport in the track and field world that you have to throw awazyt everything you know, and then start over again.



These are a few links to a few articles that you will find quite valuable to your pole vault and track team, especially the vaulters. I hope it is helpful, and if it is let me know. I have a lot more info stuck in my head, and I'd be happy to help you out.


www.associatedcontent.com/article/2007704/how_to_train_someone_to_run_for_the.html

- link on the exact training process of teaching someone how to run in pole vaulting. It's odd, I know. But running as fast as you can into a pad is just not natural to most.


www.associatedcontent.com/article/2007688/excersises_to_increase_pole_vaulting.html
- Great excersises that will build up every vaulter. The nice thing is you don't have to get weight room time for these.


www.associatedcontent.com/article/2007662/how_to_teach_the_pole_vault_hold.html
- How do you teach someone how to hold a pole? This is a tried and true method.

An Adventure? Already?

I know I just anounced his arrival back to the states, he's already on the move. Ever since I first met him , TRW is always one the move having some adventure or another. I've never know where he gets his money, and he always just says: "There's so much money out there. Why woory where that stuff is coming from?" Yeah, whatever that means. I get the idea, but I don't know how it would work.

So it turns out that TRW and The Kid are heading west. I don't think they're going there to live, since they have the "Christ Chex Ranch" somewhere in South Florida. The following is the e-mail transmissions that went back and forth:


Me: What do you mean? You just got back? Aren't you going to relax for a bit?

TRW: This is Relaxin' chad. Ever think of changing your name to something that sounds cool?

Me: I mean, why are you heading West.

TRW: I need to see what the Americas have to offer. Been away quite a while. When you're my age, you want to check out the world a bit to see if it's exactly what you thought it was when you were young and bullet proof.

Me: But, you said you were going to be a guest blogger. I already introduced you and everything.

TRW: Welcome to the 21st century Chad. Still don't like the name. No - i still want to do your bloggy thing.

Me: When? When you get back? You know you could buy a laptop and send me stuff as you drive.

TRW: Two steps ahead of you chuck...nahh doesn't fit you...This is why I e-mailed you in the first place. Figured I'd send you various entries from the road off my Itouch or The Kid's Blackberry.

Me: Cool. Speaking of The Kid, want to eleaborate on where he came from. How you adopted a kid. Anything?

TRW:OK, so I'll send you stuff from the road. We're leaving CCR and driving out to CO. We'll be out there for a bit, and then we'll come back. I'll send you various posts....hope you like them (No, I really don't, but it sounds nice. lol lol lol lol Hate those "lol" things, but people use them all the time. I personally prefer that old ha ha ha Ok, next time I e-mail you it will be posts.

Talk to you in a bit - H....Yes. That's what I'll call you.


And that's it. I'll put the posts as is, and maybe a commentary of mine or so. I guess the title of his posts was accurate......meandering misadventures. This should be interesting to read.
