Okay, this sucks. Majorly sucks. Weeks ago, I told Casey that I never could think I could leave the city. I told him that I probably couldn't even sleep without the rumble of the subway overhead. Shouldn't have tempted fate that way, huh. Splinter drops this bomb on me. I'm going to leave New York? Where would I go? What would I go for? Splinter won't say, said he made a grave error with Leo, telling him the trip was to teach him to be a better leader and all and that that put undue, Splinter said, not my words, his. I swear, stress on old fearless. It made him think he had to prove something by being the most perfect leader this planet ever spawned, and be a regular model for all other soon-to-be leaders to look up and emulate and shit, I bet.
But Leo was a great leader before he left on that trip. And, I swear I hate to admit it, but he came back ten times the leader he ever was. And if Leo's reading this notebook, I didn't mean a word, not one stinking word! Even if I have ta pound your head in, I'll make you forget ya ever read it! Compish? I'll smack the green off ya! I swear!
Splinter said that I can pretty much choose where to go. The only conditions are, I gotta pick a place that is not too crowded with humans, and not where Leo's been. Like anyone can pay for me to go where Leo's been. I ain't going to copycat nobody, especially not Splinter Junior!
Still, Alaska might be worth it. I ain't much into books, but I did like the stuff that London guy wrote about the dog that gone wild, the wolf and that fool that gone and froze his ass off in that one short story, shit like that. Maybe it can by me proving how tough I am. Yeah, that might work. I'll even see if Casey would like to come whit me some of the way. April might want him to pick up something that way. That would be a great reason to go on a road trip, hop a few bars, and kill a few bears. That kind of thing. Yeah, this could be fun.
Still, would rather stay in town though. A year away from my bros is about a year too long. Well, too long from Mikey. I could stand a few months from Don. Not sure about Leo. Let's hope I still got bros when I get back. Even Don. I'm mad at him, but not so made I want him gone, ya know.
Well, this enough scribbling, cause I ain't no writer. Got a month or so ta get gone. I got to get ready. Could be exciting. Still would rather stay, though.
