What Made Me Sick

I am glad to be back home.  It turns out I wasn’t sick in the traditional sense.  It seems I had a severe reaction to nicotine withdrawal because I quit smoking Thursday night.

It would have been better if I knew this last night.  I got only two hours of sleep and was awaken to a roommate who was brought in.  I find it to be odd considering I was supposed to be quarantined and away from human contact.

Today I will stay at home, watch football, and hand out candy and campaign materials to trick-or-treaters.  I’ll do some campaigning in maternity wards tomorrow as time permits with my work schedule.  Tuesday, I’m off to Pittsburgh for the third “Orgies for Abstinence” and my hour-long radio special.

Campaign Schedule Set

The days I will be campaigning between Wednesday and next Sunday have been set.  The times and exact locations have not been set, but will be by Monday.

Wednesday – Pittsburgh, PA (I will be discussing how the steel industry is a leading cause of air pollution.  I will also discuss the social ills of sexual misconduct among professional athletes.)

Thursday – Akron, OH (Was originally going to be in Cleveland, but changed location due to the LeBron James fiasco.  Turns out to be a bad idea because not only is Akron Cavaliers country, but it’s where LeBron was born and raised.)

Friday – Detroit, MI (I’ll think of something)

Saturday – Hamilton, ON (Where better to discuss my foreign policy than in a foreign country?  With some negotiations, the United States can divert going to was against our neighbors to the north.)

Sunday – Buffalo, NY (My birthplace   I was raised in Washington DC, but I was born in Buffalo as my parents were driving from Hamilton to what was supposed to be Albany, NY to visit my father’s old college roommate.  I was born in the car just before crossing the border {It took two hours to cross the border that day} and I stayed in a Buffalo hospital.

I am heading to bed.  I have a long day tomorrow…

Walk-a-Thon Update and Adjustments

The Walk-a-Thon for Affordable Entertainment Awareness will begin in a little over three months.  It starts in Atlantic City on October 9 and will end in San Diego on April 4, 2011.  Most of the nights I will be sleeping in a tent with my inflatable mattress.  One noticeable exception will be on November 2.  I will be in Pittsburgh at a soon-to-be-determined hotel for “Orgies for Abstinence III.”

I am having a custom designed cart built to carry the stuff I will need.  It is like a regular shopping cart, except with tires durable enough for almost 3,000 miles of travel and the ability to push it through snow.  It will also have a shelf that pulls out so I can continue working while I am in this walk-a-thon.  (Six months without working is too long.)  A hand brake is being installed so I can stop it and not worry about the cart rolling up and down mountains.

Below is a partial list of cities I will be stopping at along the way:

Philadelphia

Pittsburgh

Columbus

Indianapolis

St. Louis

Wichita

Guymon, OK

Albuquerque

Phoenix

Yuma

San Diego

Honolulu (Time Permitting)

If you are near the walking route and you would like for me to pass through your town, then feel free to send an e-mail by July 31.  I want to have the route finalized and more details as to when I will be on any given day soon after.

Walk-a-Thon 2010-2011

I was unable to hold my walk-a-thon for Affordable Entertainment Awareness last year due to me breaking my ankle at Blanca Fest.  Barring anything stupid (broken bones, death, incarceration, getting lost, etc.) happens, I will try the walk-a-thon again on October 9 in Atlantic City.  I am hoping to be in San Diego by April 4, 2011.  I will be blogging the events on days I am in an area with WiFi.

I am planning to attend the November 2 “Orgies for Abstinence III” in Bentleyville, PA( Just south of Pittsburgh).  The location is not set in stone as I am planning on the possibility of making campaign appearances near the walk-a-thon route.  If you are near the route and you want me to give a speech in your area, please let me know soon so I can make adjustments to the route.

Just Plain Wrong

Sometimes an event happens that changes the course of one’s thinking.  The event I am referring to is the protests of the G-20 Summit held recently in Pittsburgh.   For some reason, the media hasn’t gotten around to mention that:

• The police attacked PEACEFUL protesters with audio cannons and tear gas.
• The military was arresting American citizens on U.S. soil.

Below are videos of some of the protests taken this weekend by protesters.

While the media failed to show what our government is doing to our people, they did manage to show a video of a baby dancing to Beyonce.  This is wrong and I am outraged.  I will be calling the news networks as well as the elected officials of Pittsburgh and voice my displeasure with both the way Americans are now being treated on U.S. soil and the way the media chose to ignore Americans being oppressed by an American government.

Adjustments to Walk-a-Thon Schedule

For those familiar with my campaign, I have been planning a walk across the United States raising awareness about the entertainment industry and how unaffordable entertainment has become.  The walk is supposed to start in October in Atlantic City and end in April in San Diego.  However; with the meeting of Independent Presidential Candidates slated from November 14 to 21, I had to make some adjutments to the route.  The adjusted map will be posted sometime within the next two weeks.

• I am still leaving from Atlantic City on Saturday October 10.
• Instead of walking all the way to San Diego directly, I will walk to Pittsburgh’s airport.  I plan on making it to the airport in time to fly out on the 14th of November.
• I will fly back to Pittsburgh on the 21st and continue my trip from there.
• I am now scheduled to arrive in San Diego on April 17, which is after Opening Day for the San Diego Padres.  I will be unable to throw out the first ball on opening day.

I am still looking for places to stop along the route.  e-mail me if you want me to speak to your group about affordable entertainment.
