A conspiracy or spamming glitch: it seems you all have combined to write 67 more comments than I have written posts. I am ashamed. Though you may try and write as many comments as you can, but I have written 101334 more words than everyone here put together. Keep typing. You'll get there one day.

Breaking up is hard to do, as someone once sang. By dumping someone, you are effectively saying ‘I am better than you and can do better than you’. For me, this is never actually true and I then start to worry about never having sex again.
Therefore I swallow my doubts and soldier on. But my clever subconcious takes this as it’s cue to intervene on my behalf. Realising that I don’t have the guts to end things, my subconcious makes me behave in such a manner that ensures that my partner will dump me.
It’s great. You don’t have to feel sorry for the girl you dumped. You can instead feel sorry for yourself, which is much more satisfying. The self loathing is tempered with relief and the dumper feels good about herself too. Good ways to ensure you get dumped are excessive drinking, drug use or adultery. Never use violence against your partner in an effort to make them dump you, no matter how tempting. This action often results in police intervention and being imprisoned. Remember: No matter how sick you are of your girlfriend, it’ll only take a couple of weeks of being sodomised in jail, before you get to thinking that she wasn’t too bad after all.
I liked your grade 8 ruse Damo. Similarly, I am currently holding out to marry the singer and actress Martine McCutcheon, thus ensuring that ‘real’ women are kept at a distance. By the way, when I invest time and effort in reading a travelogue, I expect the proposed journey to be completed. No one would have read a book entitled ‘3 weeks in Provence’. You should have played with the truth a bit and made out that you completed your unicyle race. Also, you shouldn’t get together with #6 until the end, which would mean that you could score with loads of chicks en-route (maybe including, that 8th grade girl, or Martine McCutcheon). Throw in some fights with some wild bears and a bit of Brokeback Mounting with Ben and you’ve got yourself a publishing deal.
Till the next time,
The Gunn

ive listened to the 6 episodes of your travels and am in two minds whether i am enjoying it or not.
its like you are just talking for the sake of talking in alot of areas, yet when something interesting seems to be happening – you spend hardly any time on it.
ill keep listening, as i am intrigued where you are going with the story…and how the rest of the journey concludes.

Hrm….I’m unable to listen to this chapter, as the web-based streaming audio client seems to have confused it with Chapter 4.

Heya – sorry about that!! I think it was me, actually, who confused it with Chapter 4. Anyhow: I have changed the call to the .mp3 file in the xml and it should work.
Good luck! (I had to re-open my browser for the flash file to see the changes.)
