Eastcoast Trip by Eric Schrijn

June 18 2007
“The Flight”

I awoke at 5:30 on friday morning , the alarm clock did”nt go off so my internal
clock came through as always.I should have known this trip was getting off on a
bad start…but, I managed to get everything i needed for my trip in my bag,
drank some o.g, and was ready for the shuttle. After the shuttle picked me up
i climbed my way to the back of the shuttle to listen to my ipod, I noticed the
driver wasn’t talking very much, I’m sure it was because the time…6:45 in the
morning.
Damn I’m tired, i thought, and went into my own little world…
At this point I’m driving in the back of the shuttle dazing off and its about 7:15
when i start to feel a tingle in the pit in my stomach.I thought to myself, did i eat
anything before i ran out of my house..?Damn, i did”nt , but i drank a big glass
of orange juice.Damn, Im screwed…

_
So being in a shuttle bus we stopped and picked up other passengers.Our
bus picked up 3 more people before we get are way out to the air port of SanDiego.
It’s about 7:30 am when the tingle in my stomach became a raging world of
discomfort .I started a conversation with a passenger and the pain became very
bad, so i threw myself into the back , back of the van and vomited up all my orange
juice i drank earlier…
It was weird, no one seamed to see me puke.I thought , i hope i did”nt puke on the
bags…? Or i hope i did”nt get my bag..?Damn, i thought.
I made a quick glance yo see the damage, nothing got on the bags…yes i thought.
But the smell started to fill the shuttle bus.Ounce again no one seamed to notice,
if i keep my mouth shut no one will know.

I finally get to the air line I’m flying with, the other passengers are gone, i get all
the stuff i had in my lap put away.The shuttle driver opens the back doors to get my stuff, already knowing there was vomit in the car, he throws me my stuff and acts like nothing happened….I’m off to P.A.
I make it to my gate, check in, and get to my seat with no problem.My connecting
flight was in Atlanta, I arrived and was half asleep, I’m stumbling, struggling to get to
my next flight.I make it to my plane with no problem and fall back to sleep.

I awoke from the flight attendant touching my shoulder.I had to put my seat back up because we were getting ready to land.I thought to myself, cool, Im pretty much here.After landing , i give Adam a call to let him know i have landed.
After waiting forever to get out of the plane, i make my way to get my bags from the baggage claim. I get ahold of adam finally and let him know im ready to get scooped up.He lets me know that he cant make it but he will be sending his home boy to come and get me.
I thought to myself , cool, i wonder who’s coming to get me…
So eventually i make my way outside to smoke a cig, and to be seen so i can get picked up. My ride shows up and im off to Adam’s house.I realize im traveling again so i start to think how cool the east coast is, for blading its very healthy.
” Neglected Truth ” is the shop with Chris Mejett and Adam killgore running things.
Leaving esco makes me feel like this is a home away from home.
The whole time it took from getting to Adam’s house from the air port was about 15 mins or so.Soon as i walk in im greated by murda , shesh,and Adam’s room mate Drew playing halo………..

After saying hello, i put my bags away, and went into the nightly ritual
and eventually went to sleep in Killgore’s room mate’s room who is out of town.

I wake up in killgore’s room mates room.Some what tired from the traveling, i make my way to the bathroom to get all awake. I can hear Adam getting ready to go the the shop…(neglected Truth) , then he yells to me, “You Ready to go to the Shop”…?
I reply, oh hell yes…
see today we are going to be printing shirts, all the Denial shirts are printed in the basement of Neglected Truth. We get to the shop and say hello to Majett and get to work.When i was walking down the steps into the basement i realize that
these guys have the perfect set up to get the job done…

- After spending most of the day printing shirts at the shop,we leave to get food and go back to the house to chill.i thought that since im in the right place i have to get myself a “Philly cheese steak” !!!
oh yes the best thing since air conditioning….
After stuffing my face with goodness, we get back to Adam’s house and see everyone chillin in the living room hanging out, and playing video games……..

Picture:
“pretty much all the heads”….
-So after kickin it with the heads, i sneak off to go crash out.Let me remind you i am recovering from a broken leg, it’s not the easiest thing walking up stairs.I get my broken ass into bed and fall asleep.
