Today i was pondering Today i was pondering,

I was pondering the thought of having a tour bus. Now i am a pretty rational person, so i think. I began to think of all the advantages of having a bus, if any, that we did not already have in our van. After thinking about it for a while i came to the conclusion that the only advantage of having a bus vs. a van is more space. So i thought of all the things i could do with *that space*. I could stand up for one, but why the heck would i want to stand up and be able to stretch when i could be cramped up in a sitting position for hours on end getting tense throughout my entire body, specifically my neck and back. If i really want to stretch while in the van i would just wait until the next stop which could be anywhere from an hour to 4, depending on everybody*s bladder control or the vans hunger. This brings us to another so-called advantage. There would naturally be a bathroom on the bus because of all the *space* we have to play with, which only means that we would not have to stop fifty times every drive we have in order to please everyones different bladder schedules, but what fun is that!! Not stopping every five minutes. Another space filler would be beds. This is definitely something i do not understand. To be able to sleep comfortably when you are completely exausted. I am just fine sleeping in the van with a tweaked neck and a bad back; even though i am not really sleeping because of all the niose of everyone and the bumpyness of the van, i am content. Which brings up personal space. In a bus, if one gets annoyed with someone or would like some time to themselves they have a choice of going to either there bed or a different lounge, since there are a couple of them, one in front and one in back. Personally i think annoyance is good for the soul. So in essence, having a bus brings only one advantage in comparison with a van, space. If it were up to me a would travel in a van for the rest of our careers. In fact after our career ends, whenever that may be, i am going to buy a van just so i can park it in front of my house so that i can sleep in it, read, draw, and do everything i already do in it at the present time. O GOD I HOPE WE GET A BUS SOON BEFORE I KILL EVERYONE! Bye bye.
