Kanan Across America an (Re?)Introduction


Its been a week since I returned home from Kanan Across America, only like the greatest voyage of our time. So where did I go? I didn't make it to all states, but I did visit 44 of them in about 6 weeks, which combined with past experiences I can now say I've been to 48 states, yay me! This is important, Americans have long depended on me not just for pleasure and protection, but also inspiration!


KAA was simply my way of saying: 'America, babe, I'd like to get to know you better!'

The plan was: there is no plan, and I executed magnificently! Seriously, I knew I was going to 2 places for sure: Seattle, and Texas, and everything else was just gravy. I had a vague idea of places I wanted to see, but by and large I winged the trip every day. By and large would also make an excellent porn name for either a hefty or a well endowed bi-sexual.

I did get the opportunity to visit friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in years, and it was amazing. I cannot thank them enough for being so supportive, y'all are KAA Plutonium Sponsors for Life! Fuck, I thought Plutonium would be neon green! :(

My friend Irene suggested that I write a blog about my experiences, and she's a great friend, despite the fact that I had started a blog about my trip and she didn't quite read it :P I did stop blogging on the road for several reasons, but now I've had some time to reflect on my experience I'd like to start again from the beginning. You can read the first few notes of my first blog attempt at:
I'm also going to be posting reviews of some of the restaurants and other attractions I visited on Yelp!

What I'll do is I'll write a blog chronicling each day on a regular basis, unless I get a book offer (YES, I'll write a book!) and ummm, we'll see where it goes. Movie rights also for sale! I'll also have pictures, lots of pictures, because I'm like a sorority historian and I photograph absolutely EVERYTHING!

I'll save you the link, here's a copy of day 1 from my old journal:

I didn't expect today to be very eventful since I've driven the I5 to and from Seattle a couple of times.

There was a horrible accident right outside LA, all I could see was a large rolled over RV, there were pieces of it everywhere, I hope the people will be okay.

I saw Sacramento for the first time, I was asleep the 2 previous times I was there. Its much larger than I thought it would be, also that's what she said.

I didn't check out Sacramento because I wanted to enjoy the scenery at Lake and Mt. Shasta, named so because that's where the water for the soda comes from. Sadly I didn't make it before nightfall, should've toured Sacramento :(

I did make it to Oregon before midnight, I like Oregon, its one of the few states that seems to have its shit together.
Your American Hero,
