LOCATION CHANGE

24 02 2007

So, our plans have changed. We found out that Hope street no longer exists. So we’ll convene at the same time but at a different place.

Sorry for the last minute notice, but this is the new location. We’ll be meeting at Girard Ave and Coast Blvd in La Jolla at 4PM today.





The Walkstars – Day Five

24 02 2007

Ok, day five. As Josh already said, we walked and walked and walked. I’m beat and it’s time to make our final stretch in to Pacific Beach. Have a nice day and we hope to see you





DAY 5 (delayed) DAY6- We walk, walk, walk, walk, walk…to San Diego.

24 02 2007

I was not able to write last night, we decided to walk the night through. We are dead. I am fairly certain we will all have injuries for the remainder of our lives from this walk. To sum things up pretty quickly we walked through camp pendleton yesterday and had some problems, pete and I went crazy, we also ran into a “upset” marine… Please see the video. As usual there was some cool things to see, petes blisters are top 5 most disgusting things I have ever seen in my life, really. Sean is moving and moving…Paul, he is all good. I just want to get to San Diego- No more Marines, no more people to run into, just get to San Diego and head to Pacific Beach. If you want to come and have a good time please feel free.

In terms of my head clearing….it has been done. I now need to do things to fill it, well I think it is clear. Honestly this walking and just being alone- It was great, you gain new views and feel differently about things and people.

We are off now, drinks and food await. By the way, we stopped off to have drinks and food yesterday…FYI: not good to put alcohol in your system when it is calling for hydration. I love my shoes and my MP3 player.

To all the good people we met: Thank you for all the things. COME AND JOIN US.

Josh





Heavy BackPack

23 02 2007

We walked and walked and walked and arrived in Carlsbad just now. We’re drinking a few pints to nullify the pain. We’re at a brewery called Pizza Port, and awaiting our pizza to arrive while guzzling down a couple of brewskis. It’s goodtimes! After all that walking, the one thing you look forward to is beer and food. Eventhough I only drank a liter of water, and I can say that on behalf of the rest of the guys as well, we’re excited to stay dehydrated be drinking piwo (beer in polish). Sean and Josh’s pizza just arrived. Sean is ready to say a prayer to his 8 slice meaty cheese festival mess. Josh is munchin on a small cheese pizza and Paul and myself are witing for the Pizza San Francisco.

So tomorrow is our last day, and we’re considering pumping out a couple more miles so that we’ll lighten our load for tomorrows finale. Heck, we may as well just get obliterated tonight and walk regardless. OK, here’s the pizza….Time to sign off! Stay tuned to tonights video…It should be interesting.





The Walkstars – Day Four

22 02 2007

So here it is, Day Four. I’ve been waiting for this to upload so that I can catch up on my sleep. Tomorrow we’ll be walking through Camp Pendleton onto Oceanside or Carlsbad, depending on how we feel. Goodnite!





DAY 4: The lonely road is NO MORE

22 02 2007

So Pete’s blisters are honestly one of the scarriest sights I have ever seen, I can’t believe he is on his feet, I heard Sean backed out and in: he is the ROBOTIC MAN, Mr. Meetro himself Paul is walking hard, it is good. I wish I could report something good back to you but the fact of the matter is the walk was beautiful and there is not much to do when you are alone. I thought, cleared the mind, talked to good friends and now I am where I am…. Sitting in a comfort in with a drink in my hand…

Thank God I am now back walking with someone, anyone. It took some time, my stomach is in shambles…My back hurts…I walked solo style for quite some time. I got up quite early today And made some serious ground, you have no idea how much I am anticipating the arrival to San Diego, and we all want you to be there with us…Come walk, join us and we will have a good, good, good time.
I hate to do this, and give you the time of day but to all of you who doubted us and also are throwing negativity our way…Thanks for watching and checking in. Funny how that work isn’t it: You write negative comments and have your problems, say you don’t want to see us but yet you are reading this right now. And to all of you who support us…Thank you Again.

I am off, again please come and join if you want. It is the mind clearing experience of a life time. I guarantee the footage is going to get better and some thing that will happen will suprise you, there are many places we still have to travel and many things to do- Now I am back we will all have a good time.

I love you music. You know what I am going to do, learn some music. Music has got me through.. I recently learned some piano and guitar- I am starting a band.

Josh





The Walkstars – Day Three

22 02 2007


Here’s Day Three of The Walkstars journey to San Diego from LA. They depart from Surfside and arrive in Laguna Beach..enjszhoy. special thanks goes out to Shaun Firth for meeting up with us over beers and dinner :)





Scheduled Downtime – End of Day Three

22 02 2007

So I finished editing the video. It’s just about midnight and i’m extremely tired. It was a long long day that never seemed to want to end. We walked into the night, and pushed our aching bodies to Laguna Beach. Paul and Sean have been sleeping since about 8, and i’ve been editing this ever since we finished. However, there’s a little problem. Youtube is doing some repairs on the site, so I won’t be able to post the video until tomorrow morning. I’m trying my best to get it up through another video sharing site, but who knows.

Stay Tuned





DAY 3- The 21st. The Mind Clearing, never eating fast food again walk.

21 02 2007

Like a moron, due to poor eating….I have been held back due to some serious pain in the stomach and throat- The guys went ahead, I just stopped off to rest for a minute- I am hoping to catch up later tongight.

Like I had said before I lived in Orange County (Newport) not too long ago, and today once held significant meaning to me personally so when I say “I need to clear my mind” walking in Orange County on this date, I have no problem with it. The mind clearing is making me put some issues away like a old magazine.

We all have some pain. You know walking is a tad harder than some may think, it takes the toll, Pete has 400 lbs on his back and he is walking alright with the exception of some blister that would rival tennis balls- I don’t know how he is carrying his bag (if you don’t know what I am talking about check the “what we’re bringing” video) We are also walking with Paul who joined yesterday (check DAY 2). Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to the Urban Trekker, he Trekked soime damn good miles. Alright time for me to move on and catch thewalkstars.

Thanks again to Meetro.

I love the Ocean- It is awesome.





The Walkstars – Day Two

20 02 2007

So it’s 10:41pm, just came back from some beers and dinner while the video was uploading. The walk today was very interesting, considering we were mostly in Long Beach. Good times eventhough the bottom of my feet feel like hamburger meat. I hope to see you all in San Diego, WALK ON!

We’ll be leaving from Surfside tomorrow and end up at Laguna Beach if all goes as planned. Feel free to stop by and say hello :)
