Day 12
Well I made it to the final
8, which is a beautiful feeling. But all good things come to an
end, and this trip was great, so a major ending it has. Monika was
voted off this morning. It was a shitty feeling. A lot has happened
in the last couple of days. Last Wednesday I had 3 votes strike
against me. I thought that was it for me. I’ll for sure be
the next to go. But soon came to find out that the three votes against
me were mostly cause people didn't know me as well as the others.
I was asked the next day by Monika and Jenny to come and join their
alliance (12 days with cameras in my face, I got used to them; 12
days on with the word "ALLIANCE" and it’s still a
cheesy reality show word.). The 6 in this alliance were Kyle, Rob,
Matt, Jenny B, Monika and myself. We six banded together tightly.
But as I said before, it will come to an end. Yesterday morning
Monika woke up with a thought to vote Rob off. So the day turned
to shit. Rob and Monika either avoided each other or threw their
personal and verbal wrath. I tried to steer clear of them both the
entire day. It’s none of my business.
Shout out to Monika: I never
got to say goodbye babe. You saw all you wanted to see. The rest
is just ‘tangible’. Good luck in Miami.
Would like to quickly give props
to Bootlegger and the rest of our sponsors for giving me an amazing
12 days. Its been a bit dramatic at times, but was a great holiday
for me.
My girls back home: Prepare me a shot of tequila, cause my mouth
has been dry for 12 days.
To my family: Thanks for you
support Luv ya!
For all to the cast and crew of The Great Canadian Road trip, I
am still "sleep drunk" when I say this, "Rock out
wit cha cock out!"
Day 02 and 03
Its coming to an end of day 3 right now,
and I am sitting here having a great convo with the produder about
everything. We are completely SLEEP DRUNK right now. Having difficulties
getting this journal entry fiinished (started even) cause we keep
babbling like drunken sailors, complete non-sense.
Soooo, yesterday (Day 2) we went rafting
down the Thompson river, as most know. It was great. Annie, Monica
and I were fighting over front of the raft. It was adorable, the
guys were all hiding under their lil yellow rain hoodies. While
none of us fell outta the raft, the instructor attempted to throw
me in. The food at the lodge was great, props to their cooks at
'KUM SHEEN'. Then we had a long ass haul to Banff. Slept for a whoppin
2 hours woke up and began driving again. Sounds fun? Actually it
is, weird.
Got to calgary, had the most un-pleasurable
ride of my life, made my legs tighten, shake and made my inner muscles
sore, but the mechanical bull was okay. Hehe. April had best time,
and she put on one hell of a show. The bungee was the highlight
though. I was shocked, i never got any butterflies. When I jumped
I felt a lil adrenaline rush kick in and was so relieved to reach
the point of the spring upwards. I had to take on the role of the
'motivational speaker' for a few. So proud of Jenny ,the Neufie,
concurring her fear. But was sad to see Julie H decline and get
sent home. Im not ready to have anyone leave just yet. I cant stress
how wicked this cast is.
Speaking of the cast, the guys here are
super, but im sad to report that there are no sparks flying in any
general way from me to the male species at his present time.
I am happy to report that I have gained a great friendship with
them. I just had a convo with two of them about my dad and my pendant.
so, about my pendant. It is called an ONK ( donno if thats how you
spell it but whatever) It's an Egyptian cross meanin the key of
life. If you make it to 'heaven' you get your key to your eternal
life. It is the last thing my dad bought me. While we were in Eygpt,
one of the last times I saw him. And he told me that he has accomplished
so much that he wanted to do in his life, that he could be given
his key of life now, and be happy. I know he's still happy.

Day 01
Props to Earls for giving me time off. This
is already worth it, I can tell just from day 1. I cant believe
how crazy everyone got, including myself when we arrived in Bootlegger
yesterday. It was like a buzz of adrenaline shot right through us
all. Like, the journey has STARTED. The clothes are wicked. I felt
so spoiled wearing my evening wear on a cruise ship last night.
The food was great. The cakes was AWESOME. Seeing as I am from this
area it’s not as exciting for me as it is for most of the rest
of the cast. They are all going crazy with their cameras every time
they see a mountain. It’s a good thing though cause it makes
me stop and realize what I might be taking for granted. And I know
that I’ll soon be doing the same thing once I get to the east
coast of Canada. As for personal feelings and all that on the bus
right now. I can already see some people getting worried, and kinda
‘watching their backs’ which is more interesting then
anything. Everyone always thinks they could ‘win’ or do
better when they are the spectator, but on the bus, i can see the
pot getting stirred already. I think that if everyone just stays
positive, and remembers WHY they wanted to participate in this adventure
in the first place, we’ll all have a blast. So far EVERYONE
on this cast is great. And we all clicked right away , as if we’ve
known each other of years. Its weird. Its a great thing to share.
And I’ll be really disappointed the day we all have to separate.
But for now BRING ON DAY 2 BABY!!!
