VII

Hello, friend. Sorry. Is it okay to consider us to be friends already? I tend to bestow that word more quickly on people than most. It’s likely because I’m so trustworthy, that I assume everyone else is too – that is until they’re not. And isn’t that the main difference between a stranger on the street corner compared to your best friend? As I said, I don’t have many friends. But, the ones I do have I’d trust in a hostage situation with one bullet to take out the bad guy, and not me, their friend, IX. That is unless I’ve just recently hit on their wife or girlfriend. At any rate, I digress. Now, where was I? You see – you’ve got me thinking about sex again. These thoughts already consume about 9/10ths of my day, so it’s already rare that I have a clear head in between to get some real work done. Not that that work isn’t highly important, but it doesn’t pay the bills. I’d need to move out to California for that to happen! Ah yes, that’s it! I was going to let you know that I’ve decided on taking a cross-country trip out to California.

After being inspired while playing through GTA V recently, I decided I wanted to fully immerse myself in the real thing. Only why not journey to California using The Mother Road herself? Why not see what Americana has to offer? I look forward to stopping at all the major attractions and everything in between. I anticipate meeting some more friends from the cities to the ghost towns I visit. Perhaps there’ll be some fellow lone-wandering TRUTH seekers along the way? Not to worry though! I’ll keep you updated as I go so you feel like you’re part of it too. I’ll be leaving later next month, so excuse me. I need to get back to my planning. See you again next week, friend.-IX
