Day 12
Well, it’s the 12th and
final day and once again we are on the road but this time it is
going to be a little harder to get off the bus, only because this
is our point of departure.
I feel over the past few days
the friendships on the bus went through some good times and rough
times. Each and every person on this road trip is original and brings
a little bit of knowledge for all to share.
With the distance between all
of us it is going to be hard to keep in contact with everyone, but
email is a wonderful thing! My time is up for this journal entry
and for the road trip. So at this point, I would like to say good
bye to yall. I’m really going to miss you all.
Sincerely,
Matt
p.s. Boys, I’m coming home! You better have a case waiting
for me!!!
Day 08 to Day 10
ok first of all i would just
like to say that bobby is the biggest idiot i have e ever seen.
what kind of guy quits a contest that is more then 3/4 of the way
done?like he thinks that quitting leaves him with some respect!
lol! i don’t think so,if anything it makes him look like a
even bigger loser! ok enough about the bus xxxxxxxxxx.lets talk
about the conflict that has formed in the past few days! rob hates
monica and monica hates robert but the thing is, we have to vote
someone of the bus today. and no one knows who they are going to
vote of because there was an original alliance between monica,rob,kyle,Sheenah,Jenny
b., and myself. the alliance formed as soon as we heard that we
would have to vote people of,and we decided that we all got along
so we would be the ones making it to Halifax. now that it is almost
time too go home the alliance has fallen apart and with the prize
of $5000 to be one i would probably do the something but the money
isn’t worth losing great friends and the experience of a life
time(for free).well that's enough talking about the bus. allow me
to tell you about our night in toronto. it all started when we arrived
(via greyhound bus) to the hostel in t.o. after dinner we had all
night to ourselves so we all decided to go to a club(no drink allowed
though!shitty!). we ended up getting into the "GSpot. i guess
that a few weeks before we arrived there was a shooting there so
when we walked in they patted us down and made us empty out our
pokets. the club was sweet there were tons of hot looking chicks
there! i don’t think i got the chance to look at them all!!!after
the club we all went back to the hostel and past out cause it was
another early morning. when we woke up we had breakfast then we
jumped on the bus and head too the go-carts races. all i can say
about the carts is that if you every do. but that's all for now
i ran out of time sorry tune in next time for the conclusion.......
p.s.
i’ll be home soon julie you better be awake!!!!!!!!!!!
(miss you lots!!)
Day 07
Hello to everyone that is tuned
in!Hope you all voted for me cause i really need the money for a
car!so for the past day or two we’ve been stuck on the bus
with very little sleep and even less room to move around. Now mind
you we did stay in a motel last night,but my 5 hours of sleep was
interrupted when the film crew came into my room a woke me up for
a challenge! i was so tired and groggy that it did really matter
what the challenge was i probably would have done it any ways. after
they woke me up they put a pillow case over my face and tape over
my eyes so i couldn’t see. Once that was said and done they
taped m y hands behind my back and then guided me out the door for
a nice walk at about 5 in the morning. When i arrived at the "spot"
i was ordered to stay put,.so of course i did , but while i stood
there i felt i was part of frosh week. i was waiting for a big wooden
paddle to smoke me in the ass,but it never happened. the only thing
they did was try to scare me by jumping me. The one thing i thought
was funny is that the challenge wasn’t for everyone(weird!!).
On a different note what this i hear about bobby being in first
place??? i think that is SHIT!! the guy totally does not deserve
the money. Put it this way any one deserves the money more then
him. That's ok if you want a total nob to get the $5000 then keep
the votes the same. See yah!-P.S.
i just wanted to say hi to my mom,corey,courtney,and cody-love you
guys
and to julie i’ll be home soon babe,miss you!!

Day 03 and 04
-if your a guy and you’ve
ever ridden a mechanical bull you know how painful it is, but there
was one catch for me. when i was riding the bull i stretch the muscles
in my groin area. yeah it really sucked, it was hard for me to move
around for a few hours but then i realized that if i had an injury
i would get the boot, so i sucked it up so i could continue.
-all i have to say about the
bus is that it is really cramped and mess!!!! very messy.
-Bungee jumping was the biggest
rush that i have ever felt. free falling backwards for 40 metres
was crazy. i have to give Kyle a hand for going first (Fatty) and
to Jenny a.k.a-Neuf for having enough balls to jump.
-although my group for the scavenger
found the most points on the list, we only got second place, which
was cool cause no matter what place my team got the whole day was
great. when we first started we were taking cabs everywhere then
after lunch we were told that for each dollar we came back we got
a point. so as annie, jennifer, curtis and myself left the mac’s
store we waved down these two guys to see if they would drive us
around for the day for a few buck. as we drove around we went by
these guys that were wearing gorilla costumes and sings that said
"honk for hillbillies" so of course with annie and curtis
in my group we stopped and got a pic with them. the funny thing
about the two guys that drove us around was that it was their prom
night which started at 5 o’clock but they drove us around until
4:50 so for that we had to give them enough cash for a case of beer.
one of the challenges was to go swimming in the lake. now curtis
was from around the area and he knew what was in the lake but he
still went in! this lake was the sickest thing i had ever seen.
where we went in there was a dead first right behind us and lots
a sea weeds. the sea weed was so long and thick that it would actually
pull you in deeper. after that we took a cab back to the Bootleggr
store that we started at after that every one was so wiped out we
just talked about our day and chilled. well people i'd hate to cut
my novel in half but my supper is ready. big thanks to mike and
claton for the help and congrats!!

Day 02
ok ive got one question, where are all my
voters??? come on people you know you want to vote for me hell i
want you to vote for me, cause you know what i looked at the web
site and i don't like what i see. i'm here to see all of Canada
so i need you guys to vote for me.
But on another note today was very wet and
cold!!! today we went white water rafting down the Thompson river
in the coldest water i've ever felt. I was so cold but i was so
pumped at the same time, the rapids were wicked i wish we could
do it all over again. Our river guides were excellent they bused
us to our boat launch where we took it easy but wet ride to a picnic
area were we all got to feast on some great food! (good job guys!)
after lunch we got back on our rafts a hit some insane rapids, i
mean these rapids would make you think twice about going on this
ride, but once your on the raft the only way of was to go for a
swim. i think the funniest thing about the rapids were some of the
names, like "frog rock"this rock actually looked like
a frog trying to jump out of the river, and the "DEVILS KITCHEN"
this rapid was nothing but whirlpools!! very intense. Well, my time
is up for today there is so much more i want to type but that will
come another day. So remember every body your votes count.
