Goodbye Texas Hello Somewhere Else

So I know it has been a long time since I have wrote a blog it has been like 2 weeks but that is because I wanted to be able to tell you where I was going because I didn’t know if I was going to the east coast or the west coast up towards Oregon.  My boss Andrew called us the other day letting us know that we will not be going to the east coast which I was a little sad about but it is not all that bad because I am leaving Texas and not going back. YEAHHHHH : )
          Anyways I had the coolest time at this middle school in Louisiana. So the show started a little before noon and so when we arrived we had the help from 4 7th graders which they were really great we were all set up in no time. It only took us like 1 ½ hours of the 2 so we had time to spend with the kids so we were talking with them and then the topic of sports came up and me not really liking sports talk (because football is all guys like talking about) was like oh great here comes the most boring conversation of my life but when one of the kids mentioned that he pole vaults for the school I was like  OH, so me and him went on talking about pole vaulting and everything that goes with it he told me that there are only like 6 of them that pole vault between the middle school and the high school. I was just so surprised to hear that a middle school would offer such a cool event. What is funny is I probably had the most fun talking in that conversation than anyone. It’s not very often that you get to talk with people that know pole vaulting lingo.
          Just to let you know I will have meet the half way point when I get to Oregon. I will have gone to at least half of the states I can’t wait to go to more. The way I will be doing this is by doing this another year after this one. I know some of you are not gunna be happy with my decision I have made but I feel it is the right thing to do and well it is not like I will not be going to college ever I will just be pushing it back a few years. So yeah I will be graduating 2 years after all of my friends but they will not be able to say they have done the most exciting job ever in the world best of all I have no bills right now I mean if I did this job after I went to college I would be older have more responsibilities but right now I’m just loving life right now. Don’t get me wrong I love you guys and would love to be there with all of you all the time but for right now I feel that this is the place I need to be right now in my life and I will not be able to go to college if I do not have the money for it so in a way this job is great for me because I love what I do and I’m getting paid for it. I hope you are all okay with this decision. You know there is a saying that “You never work a day in your life if you love what it is that you do” and that is how I feel I’m getting paid to do something that I am extremely passionate about and not to mention I’m really good at what I do.
          The weather here is not as bad as it is in the east coast but it is quite cold here in Idaho some of the states I will be going to soon is Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Montana 3 of the 4 I have never been to and well most of those are rainy states but it is warmer than snow so it is okay.
          Do you want to know what I did that is super exciting??? You don’t? OH WELL!!! So here goes when I was in Colorado we went to go see the ice sculptures that they had. They were so cool there were only like 15 or so but still they were really cool. Some of the ice sculptures were star wars, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas sleigh, Lord of the Rings, oh and they had a slide that had little sleds for you to slide down on but some stupid little kids were hogging it and didn’t let me have a turn to ride down the slide but anyways it was cool because the ice sculpture were not just something to look at but something for you to either sit next to and or stand next to for you to take picture.        
          The other thing I was going to tell you is that well this is kinda sad, but here goes anyway. We were driving (oh course) and there was a bunch of birds that were flying and one of them dove right in front of the van and well... he made it!!! We saw him fly away safely hahaha you thought I was going to say we hit that bird didn’t you well your wrong we didn’t hit that bird we hit a different bird and well he is just chilling in our grill of the van all smooched and crammed, not to mention dead. I mean I feel bad for the bird and want to get it out of the van but I just don’t want to touch it so there it will stay until it comes out on its own which I’m sure will never happen. : ( 
Like I have been doing in the last couple of blogs I have let the readers choose the colors as long as they answer one question and here it is. What is your favorite kind of dog? Hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

So my shows have been going well just the other day we had a double school and because I have not been working hard and or doing a lot of show I was very out of shape for that day I was so tired after setting them up. But it was great because we showed the video to K-3rd grade it was so great because you would think that they are too young to even understand what was going on but no they were really good, quiet, and understood.
            Oh Oh Oh!!!!!!! for those of you who have a Facebook AND read my blog I will be posting picture real soon not many probably just the ones from my flight to Las Vegas Nevada and Midland Odessa Texas I will not be posting the others from Texas and such until I get out of this area and into Oregon.
            Okay so for my last part in this blog the first person to tell me your favorite number you will get to choose the next color of the blog so all you have to do is send me your favorite number with your color choice included and I will make it happen like for the next blog I write. I have to make this blog pink because my mother completed the challenge of the last blog which was to leave me a comment about the blog. By the way I want to know your favorite slide from my PowerPoint that I sent to you guys.

The Long Walk To Nothing

So I know it has been a long time since I have wrote a blog but I promise that I will keep them up from now on. So here goes.
            I’ll start it off with my walk to a Wal-Mart I was at my hotel and well we were at this hotel for 12 days and I was really interested in going to go to a Wal-Mart so when I looked it up  I was so excited to see that there was a Wal-Mart not even a mile away. So I walked over their it took me like 30 minutes to get there and I was looking around for a Wal-Mart sign but could not find one when I realized I was in a parking lot and it was empty. When have you gone to Wal-Mart and the parking lot was empty ya that’s what I though NEVER.  So I walked a whole mile just to get to a Wal-Mart that does not even exist it was closed down a moved to another location.  Now I have to walk all the way back at the hotel it was such a waste of an hour of my day. Not really I was really the highlight of the week because I didn’t really do anything that whole 12 days.
            One of the things I have been doing is walking around the towns that I stay in. I would say I have walked over 20 miles total this whole month. Most of the time I would walk 8 miles in one day 4 miles out and 4 miles back which I’m sure you probably could have figured that out on your own but just in case you did not want to do the math on your own.
            As I have said already I have been really bored so to keep me busy I would have to watch movie so lucky or me there was a Redbox across the street from our hotel at a CVS. I would rent 2 Redboxs each day I would watch one at night before I went to sleep and I would watch the other one anytime the next day before 9 O’ Clock most of the time I would cut it close to the return time some of the times that I returned a movie it was 10 minutes before 9 I had totally forgot that I had them. I would have been so mad if I had been charged that extra 2 dollars PLUS tax
            As all of you know I’m in Texas and there is nothing really special about the place it is as bad as I thought it would be there is nothing to do here and well there are not very many shows that we have been doing so it is nice because I’m getting paid to be doing nothing but sit in a hotel all day and just relax so I’m not complaining.
             As I do in all of my blogs I mention birthdays and this months birthday goes to my father sorry I couldn’t be there and well I hope it was a good one
As all of you know I have a new co worker his name is Zac he is 26 I believe and he is a returner meaning that he has done this job before. He has been with the company for many years meaning he is really good at what he does and so we have not had any problems with our shows so far. I have yet to have any problems with Zac like I had with my first co worker Cameron. Cameron was just different then me and we had a very different ways of settling things it’s just to bad that his ways were not always the best way and things didn’t work out between us. You know we can’t all be Anthony’s. Hahaha I make myself laugh sometimes
I’ve had a hard time getting though the month I have been quite homesick lately but I’m hoping it’s something I just need to get used to again. I’m sure not having work is not helping since I have nothing to keep me busy I will have to come up with some thing fun and creative to do like I did last semester.
So the weather has been quite nice it’s been in the good below 30’s so while I’m here freezing my buttocks off you guys are enjoying the nice 80 degree sun :P
If you were wondering yes. Yes, I did already buy a key chain this semester.
