A new day

I woke up very late, way past my checkout time, a little old ladie came knocking. Its now 12:30pm and I'm still feeling the effects of the last couple of days. Just like everyday I want to lay in, but the money thing wont let me and the thought of losing a day in Texas wont let me stay. The 8 hour tylenols I took really helped and they're good for my knees too. I wound up leaving Ammarillo at 1pm and I needed to do atleast 90 to a 100 miles to get to New Mexico in Clovis. Just like yesterday besides the rain it was the same riding, flat with miles of farm enclosed by wire. There are so many miles of wire that all I've been wondering is that someone laid that, and I wondered who did it and how long it took. I'm very sluggish today, even on easy rt40 terrain. I've been going faster than 10 mphs but I stopped many times to sit and chill. The sun had come and gone, and its 8pm now, and I'm still about 2hrs away from Clovis. Cold and tired I stopped at Loves travel stop in Clovis to see where the next cheapest motel was and it was very close, just a mile off the next exit. There was really not much of a difference right away as soon as I got into New Mexico, but for some reason you feel it. I stayed there for about a half an hour and didnt even notice him pull up because I guess I've had a million other things on my mind. It was Florensio changing gear, and motor oil on his car. If you could see his car you would wonder how that thing is still moving but it is. We talked for a while. Talk about 2 people who were lonely, I know I was and he explained to me that it was good for him to give me a ride cause he too just needed someone to hear or talk to. I knew exactly what he felt. Besides the night I spent at Kevin and Betsy's house basically I've only spoke to people for a handful of moments, and me being someone who likes to be around people, speaking to yourself the majority of the day and night I tended to get frustrated and not even realize it. He said the day in Ammarillo with friends and family was nice, and shared with me the reason why he was took the trip. This I think to me is ironic. His best friend in Georgia shot himself on September 11th, the day I left, he said he needed some time away, and his birthday is July 25th, the same day mommy died. I thought that was so crazy, almost like I was suppose to meet him. He reminds me of a cross of A.G., AND E Dubs. He asked me if I wanted to travel with him, but he was going the same way I was going so I declined. Now if he was traveling west than I thought maybe, so I took a shot and said I would go with you if you wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, I know its out of your way but we could go there and see the Canyon and I would pay for the hoteland you could just leave me there. whats funny is that he barely understood a word I said and didnt even know what the Grand Canyon was but he agreed and listened to what I told him and actually drove some and navigted and told him when to stop. He was very nice, he was young and short so I felt no threat. We took off from Clovis and went to Albequerque and stayed at a motel 6 as usual. He said he would of just slept in his car as he did every time he would stop. he was very appreciative for a room to stay in. I kept thinking that all together I would take off about 450 miles off my trip, but I was going to finally get to the one place I've always talked and dreamt about going too. I felt so lucky cause my route wouln't of had allowed me to visit there and I was also going to be able to see Sedona. If I ever write a book I'll tell you how we got there at the motel 6 later in the early morning and how he called up an escort service and how she took his 140 dollars and how he came running out in his underwear yelling for me while I was in his car to get my attention to stop the girl. He thought he was getting sex and didnt realize he was just getting a show and that she wanted tips on top of that 125 and when he only put out 15 extra dollars she bounced and he had no idea why. Anyway you live and learn if you only have a limited amount of money, dont let someone do unto you that you could do unto yourself in a bathroom
