My God! Everything is a fuckin hassle! I sent off an email 2 everyone, pricey it was $8 for 64 mins! I think, so very pricey but it's gone yay! Hope everyone got it. So I go to check in thru customs, same 20 questions "Why are you going to New York?" "Do you know anyone in Canada?" It's like I've done something wrong! Geez, I can't wait until I get into New York! It'll probably be a breeze! It's weird sitting here , no one speaks Aussie, they're fairly nice though. I'm not game to eat yet as it's still 5:30am in Sydney. I'm trying not to sleep too so I can be zonked when I get to Jersey! Just think, I'm almost in New Fuckin' Jersey! I've decided I get 2 24ths of July cause I miss a 5th of August. I'm watching TV it's a music show, yay and cool! Footloose is on on Saturday! I don't have much else to say. I found Junior Mints in a shop and laughed, It's a Junior Mint! Fuck I'm tired, can't sleep, clown'll eat me!

OK, I'm on the plane now, it's 2:50pm in Vancouver and 7:50am in Sydney, we're now taxiing as they call it, I'm mutantly close to the TV screen, so I can actually see it, I bet we get shitty movies. My captain doesn't have a name. It's 28 degrees in NY, Yay! It looks like we'll get in early, I'll come back when we're in the air. OK, Brain Monif is his name. 5 hrs and 9 mins in the sky, it's now 9am in Sydney, I've forgotten what the time is in Vancouver, my headphones are broken, only the right one is anyway. It sucketh and I think Air Bud 3 is on! I DO NOT want to miss that. I'm officially over Pretzels and Coke Classic, I'd really like to be asleep but want to try and sleep in NY time so I'm not too out of whack.

Cool! The old guy next to me is making Little paper cranes, that is so cool. He puts a square of paper down and traces a design almost native Indian like. When he makes the crane, the colours are on the neck and head. The dude has about 200 sheets of paper, you go crane dude "Woo loo loo" PS. I get it.

OK dinner, I can honestly say I've never eaten Beef Strogonof at 9:30am and I still can't cause I had lasagne, but even so, I've never eaten that at 9:30am either. OK, I've been asleep, missed Air Bud 3 and we're on our descent into NY, getting a bit nervous and I'll c ya there. Bring on the Big Apple.

Holy Crap! I'm in New York, USA, we got off the plane and JFK airport is awful, noone tells you where to go, I assumed the carrousel was ours to get my bag, got it, didn't have to go thru customs, so all my stuff got thru! cool! So I go to get a cab, it's weird there's no fare, I got to negotiate the price so we settled on $75 US and off we go. New York smells! What's one of the first things I see? A poster for "Bon Jovi, One last wild night" on VH1 on July 29th, YES my shows are on TV, un fucking real! Can I be any happier?

We went thru the Linclon tunnel, cool, I saw about 10 garbage trucks and a dude wheeling his hot dog cart down the street. We finally found the hotel after the cabbie pulled up at a set of lights, tooted the car next to us and asked for directions. He did it again at a gas station, that chick was cool. So I get to the Hotel, it's cool. I'm not sure but I think I have a view of Giants Stadium from my Window. Then I turn on the TV, VH1 is on and so is a fuckin Bon Jovi special! Jenna from Survivor is hosting it, I bought a Grape Soda. Could it be any better, a fuckin Jovi special and the gig on TV on Sunday!

It's 1:54am, I'm not tired, I'm pumped, Jovi on TV, I'm in Jersey, it's the best! Cool, it's now 2:39am and I'm watching Howard Stern!! I'm not gonna sleep tonight, Ha ha! Good morning, it's 11:16am, I just woke up and I'm still tired. Stupid jet lag. I had the radio on all night on 92.3 K-Rock, the best station I have ever heard! Howard Stern does the Brekky show. I've booked my tour for 2morro, Yay! I'm gonna get ready and I think go and see New Jersey. Might try and find a "Mall" Rock on! OK, I opened my window and I can see Giants!! Holy crap it's gonna go so fast! SHUT UP! Bob Barker and the Price is Right is on! $18,000, a bit steep Mary. Oh, god, what a mad prize, a Hawaiian shirt colletion. OK weird, you know how hosts usually say "Goodnight and thanx for watching" well Bob Barkers was "Help control the Pet population, have your pets spade or neudered, goodnight" What? OK, anyway, it's now 1:32pm and I'm gonna go out and try and find something to do.

OK, I'm back, it's now 6:35pm and I went to a mall, the Mill Creek Mall. I'll tell ya what, it's about 36 degrees outside, it's smoggy as hell and it stinks here. So I got to the mall and milled for a few hours as it is the MILL creek mall. I decided to go to McDonalds. The menu is weird! Their burgers are called sandwiches, so do I ask for a Cheese Burger Sandwich? No, no I don't. P.S. Cheese burgers here REEK! The cheese is bright orange and shitty tasting. They've also got the monopoly ame thing here. I got Vine St and a Train Station.

Oh man, DVD's are expensive here, you're talkin $30 US, thats $60, so unless it's gold plated, signed, ltd edition and handed to me by the star of the film I aint buying any. PS. I bought 2, but cheepies, I found "Netherworld" Go Dave Bryan! and got "Brewsters Millions" Cool! Hang on! Ha ha ha! I just saw an ad for cheese and the website is www.ilovecheese.com Cool! I wonder if theres a www.idontlikeorangeamericancheese.com? There are so many wrestling figures, it rox! I also got a set of 4 TV guides with Planet of the Apes on them, cool. There are so many people that saw my shirt and say like "oh cool, Bon Jovi" Yeah it's cool! PS. Tonight at 10pm on E! Jon Bon Jovi Celebrity profile! yay! I got the free shuttle bus back to the hotel and went and bought a Cherry Coke and a key ring that says "I Love (Heart) New Jersey" ha ha.

It's weird again, I wasn't nervous today, I thought I would be, everyone is so nice, they're all like "Don't believe any stories you hear, Americans love tourists and give me your wallet." So I'm like "No" that didn't actually happen. That was my day so far, if anything exciting happens I'll pop back. Hey I forgot something. What is it with Americans and Grape? I bought a Snapple tropical punch and it tastes like grape. It was nice, so when I finished and threw out the bottle I got to say "There goes the Snapple"

It's now 9:24pm, I just finished watching "ED", 3 time Emmy nominated Ed!! Yay. I got my Cheeseburger from Room service, chek out my newer Website at www.whatisitwithcheeseburgersintheusa.com Hey, you know that cartoon? Kimba the white lion? Well you know the song, "Whose the king of animals in Africa?" ME, I AM! I just fixed the toilet, CBS just rang and want me to do my own Handyman show! "Troy's Toilet Tips" P.S. It's only about fixing them. It's 11:41, I've finished watching Jon Bon's E special. Yay, Howard Stern is on. How am I supposed to sleep, I'm gonna ask reception. They said "Turn the lights off and close your eyes." They're smart here in Jersey! C ya in the morning, gotta get up at 6 and go into the city of New York for my all day tour, then to the Stone Pony!

Cool, OK, I just wanted to let you know I hit my elbow on the bed side table, like OW!

OK, I just wanted to say that it's 3:35am and I can't fuckin sleep. It's driving me insane, I have to et up in 2 and a half hours, I must try and sleep. It's 5:35pm in Sydney, no wonder I'm up. It's gonna be a long day, always aint that right. Homer sleep now.

Good morning it's 6:49am, Wow! what an awesome nights sleep! I scared the shit out of myself this morning, I set my alarm for 5:55am, then I wake up at 5:58am, my alarm wasn't on, I must have woken up went "No way Hose A" and turned it off. Hate that. I'm off to New York City, Yay!!!!

Hello, I'm back alive from New York, I got the bus into New York, that was cool. Got to the bus station and we started our tour. Our tour guide Serge from Croatia was funny and reminded me of how the Count fom Sesame Street talks. Funny Stuff. We basically did a whole day on the bus, stopped 4 or 5 times, we went to a Cathedral of which I've forgotten the name of, all I know is it has 850 Organ pipes. I could only ount 742 though. We drove past Central Park, the Count was telling us about the gigs they have there, I wish I was there to see Gary, yes Gary Brooks and the 300,000 others. I love that Policeman song!

We saw where John Lennon was shot and where a truck load of celebs live. Didn't see anyone though, thouht I saw Steven Spielberg but it was a bush. We went thru Times square and I saw WWF New York, I'm going back on Sunday to buy!! It's really a daunting city, quite scary actually. We then went into China Town for lunch. I honestly couldn't eat, Hell it was 1:30am at home and they're trying to serve me lunch?! So I had a Spring roll. From lunch to the 107th floor of the World Trade centre, Holy Shit!! Unreal I was pissing myself cause when you come in they take your photo with a backdrop, now you don't have to buy it, but you can see it at the end. Thankyou QM3, so I took a pic and I bought it, 2 for $15, Funny, I know.

DUDES! I'm running out of money, so I'll email the rest of where I'm up to on Tuesday hopefully.

Short Note, GIANTS ROCKED! BOTH NIGHTS RULED and for the Jovi Crew, ALEC JOHN FUKIN SUCH got up on the 2nd show and played Wanted, I almost cried! As Brue Macavaney would say it was "Special!"

C ya soon, stop missing me and Rhys, PS thanx for the fuckin call at 4:30am the other day you bastard! I was actually SLEEPING!
