I think the only error I made was in believing we we're off to Whitehorse, with good reason. Thank you, come again. |
No. A lot of us are guilty of putting in 'Whitehorse to Cordova' instead of Dawson Creek. I'm taking the blame on this one. re:

Went for my ride, followed it up with some tuna fish, took a shower then went to get a fruit smoothie! Man, that was a good smoothie :(. http://www.juiceitup.com/products_menu.html#smoothies (Lava Flow). Got it not for the nutritional value (which could be questionable at best), but because it is dang good! One of the few times in the world when coconut doesn't suck.

Some of you out there may think that Dawson Creek is a city in British Columbia. Boy are you wrong. Dawson's Creek is actually a television show that so was megahugely popular that it catapulted every single person who ever graced the screen into megahuge superstardom +1. To clear up the misconceptions, let me break it down for you: Dawson Creek is not a town in British Columbia known for being an agricultural town that is connected by railroads and highways. Dawson's Creek is actually a vehicle for selling stuff. Like music. A lot of music that snobs wish never became popular. And other stuff too. No one is really sure what Dawson's Creek was all about, but whatever it was, it was popular. The fake Dawson Creek has some crazy page all up on Wikipedia that is obviously made by ignorant folks. They must have made up at least 99% of the bullpoop written on there. Here is an example (fake source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawsons_Creek ) Quote:
There are even fake pictures to try to lure people in: http://dev.atlas.gc.ca/site/english/.../alskhysgn.jpg Alaska has highways. RIIIIGGHHTTT. LIES. http://www.roadsideattractions.ca/hockeysticks.jpg Giant hockey sticks? Since when to Canadians even like Hockey? HAH. WOOL OVER YOUR EYES. http://www.pris.bc.ca/artgallery/images/artgallery1.jpg They were obviously getting desperate, trying to pass off a set of Elevators in their art gallery as art. FLAME ON. No, truth is that because of Dawson's Creek we now get to live the lives of the biggest names in Hollywood, and possibly the universe. James Van Der Deek (Dawson) - Leading man extraordinaire. Star of nearly 10,000 huge blockbuster films, and nearly an equal amount of award winning arthouse and indie films. Michelle Williams (Jen) - Extreme humanitarian and adopter of the entire continent of Africa. Also figurehead for PETA and the NRA. Joshua Jackon (Pacey) - After starring in a few teen-horror flicks, decided to give up the limelight and focus on his studies. Now a Nobel Peace Prize winning author for his book, Limes. They Make Mojitos and Things Katie Holmes (Joey) - Faded into obscurity. Last seen in Las Vegas trying to get married at a 24 hour wedding facility to a large balding man with bad personal hygiene. +++++++++ Next up, EDMONTON, ALBERTA CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New York City is a pretty big place!! I spent about 20 hours in New York City, and spent a lot of that time wandering around in Central areas, the surrounding areas where there are less tourists, and in the downtown area when I found out one of my friends was in the area. I attached myself to his group of other people (I think 8-9 of the other people knew each other, my friend knew one guy). It was a lot of bar hopping, hookah smoking, and karaoke!! I wasn't too interested in the bar or hookah stuff.
