Atlanta Bound


The next day of our trip was a driving day to Atlanta. After a delicious homemade breakfast of eggs and bacon from Vivian Irene Pierce it was time to hit the road. Our drive took over eight hours, but it never feels that long when Shakeshift and I drive together. On our way out of North Carolina we had the pleasure to witness one of nature’s most mind-boggling acts, road rage.

There it was right in front of us, two cars who looked like they were following each other. Only when we got stuck at a red light the car in front wasted no time to jump out of his car, in heavy traffic, and stomp over to the car behind them. Once the angry looking man got to the car he bent over to yell at the young girl through her window and wag his finger at her. After a minute of yelling the man stomped back to his car and drove off after holding up the line of cars. As we pass the girl in her car I turn and see her crying.

 It seems so ridiculous to me how upset people can get at another person over driving. Sure we all experience road rage, I am no exception, but I would never get mad enough to get out of my car just to give someone a piece of my mind.

As we started to enter Atlanta I got more and more excited to see Jessica Nova and the Lady Julie. When I worked with them last year I had such a lovely time. Lady Julie was so hospitable to allow us to shoot in her home. Her husband and her are such truly kind people. They always want to make sure all your needs are met. They even provided Shakeshift and I with our favorite Tab soda and a plethora of food. And their cats are the best! I would go over to their home just to roll around with her dozen kitties. 


I remember last year when we shot a Bionic video of me running alongside the car I fell and hurt my leg badly. Jessica Nova ran over to me and picked me up fireman style, like the white knight she is, and carried me back to the car. Once we arrived at Lady Julie’s house Julie took care of my wound and nursed me back to health; but not before Shakeshift could use my bloody leg in a medical shot for the Bionic video.

  1. I love the Weiner Works. The chili dog with extra chili sauce, melted cheese, chopped onions and bacon for $2.50 was AMAZING! We should go back sometime so that I can properly pig out and eat ALMOST as many corn dogs as you can. I also loved the fact that it's the south so one of the options as a beverage was Kool-Aid for 50 cents a cup, lol.
