Ann Arbor, Michigan

After the Hall of Fame we drove to Ann Arbor, Michigan because Electric Forest Festival starts tomorrow and it is only 3 hours from here. We found a little hotel, then went out to Thai and then went downtown to walk around. It is very green here. Down town is awesome. The University of Michigan is here so it is a real college town. We walked down the main street then walked up another street where we found a cool alley full of art. I wish that art and color and imagination would be everywhere but its not. This alley was covered and it only made the city more beautiful and interesting. I have traveled to a number of places already and seen so much wasted space. I have also traveled to some awesome places where they paint fire hydrants and alleys dont go un noticed and walls are plastered with art. I crave crave culture and color and shaped and creativity, it boggles my mind that not everyone does.

Tomorrow Electric Forest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love rock and roll

We went to the Rock and Roll hall of fame museum in Cleveland today and it was absolutely amazing. Artifacts and collectables and old clothes and guitars and sheets of music from all the classics from Ottis Redding, The Who, Jimi Hendrix old school drawings, Big Poppas jersey, the beatles, I mean the list goes on and on. That place gave me chills because all those musicians are people that said "fuck you" to everyone that said being a musician would never pay off and put them down for following their dreams. Those people are role models to us all. I remember after my brain tumor one doctor said i would never dance again, well a year later i was the lead Arabian role in the Nutcracker and in the news paper and a paid guest star with the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra and was on the advanced dance team at my high school. I remember when i had a dream to start a music festival and people didnt believe in me, its called Wonderland Entertainment and people asked me if they could be in my festival for free. You can do anything, and i do mean anything you want, you just have to really try. We spent a good 4 hours in there.

Pittsburg

Philly was a great time. Maybe part of the reason was that there was no boyfriend there so Kelly could breath and be the Kelly I know. Maybe part of the reason was that I could breath and not be ignored sometimes. Maybe part of the reason was that Philly is awesome or maybe part of the reason is that the people we stayed with and I met were awesome. It’s definitely a combination of all of those things. But then the boyfriend came by train from Boston and met us and the imaginary sign was let out. So then we drove to Pittsburg and stayed with one of Kelly’s friends from Colorado. She was great; she took us out and showed us around. The next morning we went to the University of Pittsburg’s Cathedral of Learning. There are classrooms in there from every country, an Italian classroom, one from Israel, Russia, Ukraine, the list goes on. People from that country were brought in to build these rooms. It was amazing to see beautiful rooms and chandeliers and carved chairs in classrooms when all we have now are plastic chairs with cold tiles as floors. After that we went to FatHead and ate giant sandwiches and then drove to Ohio. Well we got to Columbus and now we are staying at a Holiday inn. I had to get my own room because I am about to crack.

I am going to let it out and spill a little bit. Kelly and I were supposed to travel together this summer, two girls that are great friends on an adventure. Then she goes ahead and “falls in love” with Taylor who I introduce her to by the way and she informs me, no I don’t mean ask I do mean she informs me, that he is coming with us. After weeks of holding my feelings in I tell her I don’t want to do that so I will be doing the trip alone (i'm only going to be with them for another week then I'm off being free again!) and I have to ask for an apology which I do not get. I get one a few days later but it goes like this “I'm sorry you feel that way but…” Oh well, what are you going to do, im over it. So they have a relationship talk when im sitting in the car so I have to put on my ipod and then we run out of gas on the road and have to wait for AAA for a while. When we finally got here I peaced. We are going to Electric forest festival on Thursday then after that I am going to continue my adventure by myself, the way that I know will be great. There, I vented.

The room is amazing. I walked it and it was huge, wood floors, a huge bathtub that has a glass wall looking over the bedroom. I am glad I have this night to myself although it would have been great to couchsurf. What I want to do has been put on pause for a few days, but that’s life right.

Tomorrow we are going to the rock n roll hall of fame. That is right up my alley and I'm so exited for it.

so electric forest festival is in michigan on thursday and kelly and tay have their tickets but i dont have mine. i have the receipt but i think the ticket is in long beach. so the plan is we are driving to pittsburg for the night then ohio then somewhere in michigan then the festival. i have the receipt so ill try to get in with that. im sure ill get in, im not stressing

well the guy sucked. i miss being in love. oh well, i guess i just got to wait it out. its going to be a long wait i think, but what you gonna do

Philly

Philly is so awesome. Its got the city feel like New York and the chill feel. its so cute and everyone walks. We went to Mac's tavern today, Mac from its always sunny has his own bar.

so last night when we were at this bar called Dirty Franks some dude came up to me and introduced himself to Kelly and I and asked me if i would like to go out with him tonight and got my number. He called me this afternoon and we are meeting up at 7. very interesting and i love that men have the courage to just walk up to you and say what they want. college boys dont do that but real world men do. So i decided to go because it might be fun and it will definitely be an adventure.
