- It's snowing. I'm only in North Carolina. I forgot about how cold it will be.
- I should have put my ham and cheese sandwiches in the fridge last night. Now I don't want to eat them. I think the mayonnaise went bad.
- I'm taking a few pictures of the mountains while driving. I wish the camera previewed the shots on the screen. For now, I'm guess and testing.
- (I count how many times I use the brakes on the highway. The fewer the better. I don't count breaking when exiting) First and second brake use - right before and right after Charlotte.
The second time, a 18 wheeler swerved in front of me. - A silver Toyota Matrix just flew by driven by the fastest grandparents I've ever seen on the road.
- I love Earthbound Remixes.
- Jimi Hendrix time. Great for drum practice. Not to complex. (I drum on my steering wheel and other parts of my car while driving)
- I'm in Virginia now. A sign says "Speed limit enforced by aircraft."
- 2:20 pm. I get my first speeding ticket of the trip. To my dismay, I was not pulled over by a turbo jet. Oh, and my court date is on my birthday. wth? (Fortunately, I don't have to go)
- OMG I just passed mile marker 1337!
- 3rd time using my brakes - a little past Virginia Tech.
- Filling up the tank of gas and getting junk food.
- West Virginia.
- I've now driven 500 miles. My energy has been depleted. I feel like a nap. I'm actually scared of narcolepsy. That reminds me, I've been wanting to listen to my old Third Eye Blind CD.
- Drumming to Third Eye Blind wakes me up.
- Maryland.
- 4th brake use at 668 miles. 18 wheeler cuts me off for the third time. Ruining my record.
- Why am I still seeing Cracker Barrel billboards? How far north do I have to go?
- I gave in and bought McDonald's. The southern style chicken sandwich really doesn't taste that bad.
- At Chris Occhipinti's house. 13 hours after I left. There's a lot of snow in his yard.
- I'm going to buy a huge coat in New York. It has to be New York-y and I will keep it for the rest of my life.
All packed up and, apparently, I love the color blue. Hm. An eye opener.
Going 80? Isn't this how all road trips start - with an awkward picture?
Part of the mountainside in either North Carolina or Virginia
I took the scenic route.
Aging speed demons.
The cop pulled over both me and some other car. He used his flashing blue lights to get me off the road, but for her, he just pointed at her as she drove by and said "Here. Now." I'm serious.
I'm only posting a few of the total pictures I've taken. At the end of it all, I will post every one of them and each will be nicely labeled.
I turned off my GPS tracker now that I have arrived in New York. If I left it on, my phone would die within an hour. It's really bad.
Tomorrow: a full Friday in New York! I get to be that guy. That tourist that takes pictures of everything. Everything. Also - keeping my wallet in my front pocket. If I suddenly feel aroused, I'll know I'm being pick-pocketed. Did I cross the line? Yea.

I really enjoyed this format. Lots of laughs.
Que diviertese! (Which means have fun!)
What is this Earthbound Remix of which you speak? lol
Please tell me it's the Earthbound SNES game. And if so, please share!
Hey CJ, sorry for the late reply. YES! They are remixes of the SNES Earthbound soundtrack.
I downloaded a torrent full of lots of different Mother remixes (just go to a torrent site and search for Mother / Earthbound music)
My favorite of all of the remixes is from a collaboration called Bound Together which can be found directly here: http://www.wushuplaya.com/boundtogether/
Thanks man! I will be downloading these as soon as I can. :-)
Have you heard "Funky Bookas"?

It's one of my favorite Earthbound remix songs.
That's a sweet remix. Where can I get more stuff from the people who did it? Also, let me know what you think of Bound Together.
I only know of Funky Bookas and his Bus remix:

The Bus remix is pretty short, but decent.
I'm currently downloading Bound Together. Thanks for the tip man, I know I'm going to absolutely love it. It's gonna bring back tons of memories of playing Earthbound. Such a sweet game, and such amazing music!
Do you have Twitter?
Yep, this music is so awesome. It brings back floods of memories of playing Earthbound. :-) Earthbound is the only game that I was so incredibly glued to, that I actually fell asleep while playing. I remember waking up at 7am the next day, realizing what happened, and then just continuing to play. lol
So yeah, thanks again for the tip.
haha, yes. Love the Earthbound memories. My first experience was watching my 16 year old cousin (when I was 13) beat the whole game. We fell asleep after the first 8 hours, then woke up and finished it in 8 more. A few years later I found the game for five bucks at a flea market. Best five bucks I ever spent.
I don't have twitter, but I am on facebook. My name is Chris Henderson and I'm one of Ryan's friends.
