HEY HEY HEY

So as some of you may or may not know, I am about to embark on an adventure of ridiculous proportions thanks to the good, and godly, folks at JetBlue and a little thing called their All You Can Jet passes.  A decent amount of people probably know about this to some degree (excessive Facebook-whorage for ticket money, catches of excited babbling on the wind that may have gotten you thinking about ghosts and just how annoying they could be etc etc) but if you do not: Mika got this pretty epic little card that is basically a month-long bus pass for PLANES and will be using it to travel like a madman for the month of September.

What this is guys, is a month to take my impulsive, couch-hopping tendencies to an entirely new and alarming level (why do the typical morning donuts-coffee-work run across a city when you can do it across a COUNTRY) and I would be remiss to not document the living shit out of it.  Preliminary ambitiousness says I will put up a new post for each location visited, brimming with tons of intriguing, unusual shit.  There will be photos.  There will be rambling galore.  There may even be video, if my camera cooperates. Should this be a rare case of extreme motivation to a point of fault, it will be short posts 5 or so days a week.  Depends on how much I value sleep in any given week, or if airport WiFi is as good as their websites brag they are.

That being said, this is not just electronic artillery against my ever-failing long term memory.  Hopefully it might prove entertaining, informative, or at least act as  an acceptable form of procrastination, to others as well.  Also, if you know of something in any given area that you think is/sounds pretty fantastic, put it up here in a comment and I will check it out.  Maybe I will even make a small cardboard cut out of you and take a picture of it at said location.  Seriously guys, someone recommended a ranch on the east coast that is comprised entirely of miniature animals (tiny cows, folks, TINY COWS)  and I am looking into contact information.  I am all ears.  I want to be like Mike Rowe, Anthony Bourdain, and Adam Richman all rolled into one tiny Asian woman with an ancient laptop instead of her own TV documentary show.

ANYWAYS, enough of this preliminary overview bullshit
