The Continued Journeys of Spike the Foot

When Spike last left off, he could be found attacking the back of Matt's head in a sick Dodge Charger somewhere in Kansas, and as well in a decorative floral motif. Since then, Spike has continued his pursuit of hitting every state during his lifetime. Here is an update on the latest travels of Spike, my foot:



As the holiday season approached, Spike got excited for the opportunity to spread holiday cheer. He decided that the best gift to give others was a little piece of himself. So he put a bow on top and gave the gift of holiday cheer!








With Christmas behind him, Spike started decided that he must bring in the new year with a bang. He threw a massive party and just as the clock hit midnight, toasted in the New Year like never before! For Spike it had been a year of self discovery; a year in which he truly began to understand his heritage.





Entering into 2009, Spike was given the opportunity to interview for a position in which he would be traveling extensively. Spike decided this was a pleasant idea, and interviewed. Shortly thereafter, he began embarking on journey after journey across the U. S. of A. From coast to coast, Spike could be found taking in the rays on the beach, mingling with the locals, and celebrating his true roots. Along the way, he managed to snap a few photos.


Spike's first trip landed him in the woods of Alpharetta, Georgia. Unfortunately for Spike, there wasn't much time for fun. He was dressed for business and spent the week in heavy labors!


Spike next journeyed into the land of buccaneers, taking full advantage of an opportunity to lounge in his casual wear by the pool in Tampa, Florida.




May approached and Spike knew that with the passing of another month he would fulfill another year of life. He was happy to celebrate with family and festivities.








Spike didn't have much time to recover from his birthday before it was time to celebrate again. Cinco de Mayo was an important part of his true culture, a festivity in which his descendants celebrated winning one battle during a war in which they were massacred! Spike dressed for his annual Mexican dance, ate frijoles and arroz, smiled and was happy!







Spike needed some exercise to burn off some of the festivities from May. It wasn't long before he decided to take a trip to Zion's National Park in Southern Utah. Hanging freely over a drop of a couple thousand feet was quite the invigorating experience. Taking a dip in the river was most refreshing after a long, hot day on the red rocks.









Another vigorous month of working travels followed, and Spike, under orders from those in charge, decided he best find a balance between work and life in alternate destinations. While doing a second week in Tampa, Spike managed to find an amazing beach across from Crabby Joe's where he sampled the local fare and caught sweet rays on the white sands of Clearwater beach.

The travel circuit continued, next taking Spike to the lush environments of the Midwest. Minnesota was up, and Don'cha know, Spike had an amazing trek through the spectacularly large MOA (Mall of America)! In the process he even even learned a new word, UFFDA!

While at the MOA, a modeling opportunity arose. Spike capitalized on this opportunity, and did a full layout for Tiffany's as a result.

Spike was beginning to feel very fulfilled with his endeavors, and felt as though it was time to return to the place where it all began some 18 months before, Huntington Beach, CA. It was there that Spike was able to once more take in the open surf and fresh smells of seaweed.




Most recently, Spike has had the chance to travel a bit for pleasure. Most recently, in October of 2009, he went to U2 in Las Vegas. He couldn't help but wonder at the amazingly massive stage. To put things in proportion, he took a glamour shot next to it!







Wrapping up this month's circuit, Spike looked to get cultured. He got a little of that when he visited Old Paris, uh hum.... That is, the Paris in Las Vegas.

Spike has had a most excellent adventure during this year's travels. With the future lies uncertainty, but one thing he can be sure of, is wherever goes his master, there he will be also!

  1. From the back of my head to the Sodom I mean Las Vegas version of Paris, Spike has truly had a journey of epic proportions. I would personally benefit from further elaboration on how your foot became Spike. I bet that is a ripping good story...
