now back

NOW BACK AT HOME AND HAVE ONLY DONE 7 OR 800 MILES. I FINALLY GOT MY COUSIN RUM AND MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND SMOOK TO DO THIS WITH ME. RUM WOULD FILM WHILE SMOOK WOULD DRIVE. AFTER MY COUSIN SAMMY DIED ONE YEAR TO ON THE SAME DAY MY MOM PASSED. I CALLED THE CANCER SOCIETY AND TOLD THEM THE TRIP FROM HERE ON WOULD CHANGE. I HAD TO SWITCH IT UP, NOT JUST CAUSE OF SAMMY, BUT DUE TO THE LACK OF RESOURCES. IT WOULD COST TO MUCH MONEY THAT WE DIDNT HAVE NOR DID MIKE OR JOE EVEN THOUGH THEY WANTED TO, BUT IT WOULD DEFINATELY TOO COSTLY. SO IN EACH BIG CITY TO CALI. I WOULD RIDE A HUNDRED MILES TO AND WITHIN EACH CITY AND THEN BACK TO HOUSTON TEXAS WHERE I WOULD STAY WITH MY CUZ ROBBIE, AND HIS WIFE CHRISTINA , CHILDREN NICO, AND MONICA. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO FUNDRAISE AND PROMOTE THE TRIP AS WELL AS MAX MUSICK. MAX MUSICK IS THE LABEL OWNED BY JOE FORTUNA AND MAX SANTOS OF AVENTURA. MAX IS THE ONE WHO MADE THE SONG FOR ME BASED ON MY FIRST TRIP TO CALI OF MY STRUGGLES ON THE BIKE AND ABOUT CANCER. SO WE MADE A FILM OF US SPEAKING TO PEOPLE WITH SIMULAR CANCER EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS RIDING THE BIKE. REMEMBER THERES ALOT I DIDNT SPEAK ABOUT, LIKE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY GIRL, THE FIREMANS TESTOR LIKE US SLEEPING IN THE VAN MOST OF THE DAYS, OR WHEN RUM AND SMOOK GOT MAD AT ME IN CHICAGO. THEY BOTH WERE GOING TO KICK MY ASS. OR BEING IN THE BADLANDS OR THE BLACK HILLS OR SLEEPING IN THE HOOD OF CHICAGO OR MT RUSHMORE, AND YELLOWSTONE AND VISITING CRAZYHORSE.IT WAS STILL AGREAT EXPERIENCE . RUM AND SMOOK WOULD FINISH THE TRIP BY RAISING AWARENESS.IT WAS COOL WE WERE ALL ON FOX NEWS WENT FISHING ON THE GREAT LAKES AND EVEN HUNG OUT ON 8 MILE WITH ONE OF SMOOKS FRIENDS. ALWAYS GOTTA THANK MY FAMILY, ALL OF YOU AND MY FRIENDS INCLUDING VINNY P., NANCY B., CHA CHA. THE FARMER FAMILY I AM FOR EVER IN YOUR DEBT FOR THE KINDNESS YOU SHOWED US. ALWAYS THANK YOU TO MY POP FOR KEEPIN ME AFLOAT ON THIS TRIP AND ALL MY OTHERS AS WELL AS THROUGH MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU POP!
