Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt.

Well its looking grim again . The guy I was supposed to go with decided he wasn't going to get a new truck, so now I am stuck searching again, and to make matters worse I have until tomorrow to find something!!! I am still sitting in the truck I have been in, but this guy is getting it switched over to the new company tomorrow and has a driver coming in tomorrow. This bites, I have been sitting here now for a few days with absolutely no money, ran out of food, ran out of cigarettes. BAH!!!! Now I am bummed again. Anyone need a driver ASAP? :P
Not to mention I am sitting in Reidsville, NC, close to Eden, there is NOTHING out here, not even a truck stop to try to sell something at for quick cash.
