i swear to god the stress is getting to me - not getting cross country, that's no problem, but getting out of new york! see, you only get your first checkpoint 1 freakin' minute before your slated starting time - and i have a feeling its going to involve us getting out of NYC. so i'm talking with dad and he's really got that "you're the navigator" look on his face.
to that end, i gotta figure out where we stand as far as technology - so, i start chatting with pops.
dad: your job is to get us out of new york and to vegas, i'll drive.
me: okay - no problem. (which is "jay speak" for "fuck!")
dad: not gonna be a problem, right?
me: nah... piece of cake. (same "jay speak" definition as above)
dad: good. i bought an atlas.
me: cool. (which is "jay speak" for "an atlas?!?! wtf good is an atlas gonna do us, do they even make atlas' anymore?!")
dad: i got one for each state too.
me: cool. (see above)
okay - so here i am thinking, we gotta get our asses out of NYC as QUICK AS POSSIBLE. last thing we want is to be stuck in the freakin' city with a hangover. (yeah - i'll be hungover, sorry dad)
that brings us to... the "navigatory" toys (that's more "jay speak") - here's the gear for the trip;
- dell laptop p4 with 17" monitor.
- mobile gps unit (mio c220).
- blackberry pearl with mapping function and internet access.
- canon elph 7.1mp digital camera.
- sony mini-cam video recorder.
- scientific calculator.
- mp3 player loaded with nothing but legally downloaded songs (screw you RIAA!)
