is it weird that i am seriously considering actually walking or riding a bike around the country? i dont want to fly, or drive....i guess a train is an idea...as is a bus (well, lets be honest..a bus isnt really an option...fuck that shiot, buses suck ass)...but, the more i think about it, the more i really just want to walk or bike to wherever i might want to find myself next...is that crazy?

i guess i have always had this image of me just kind of roaming around, following my feet wherever they take me...in my mind, the journey is really what it's all about, more than the destination...when you reach your destination, thats when you 'lull'...thats when you settle....thats when the journey is over.

i dont want to settle. i dont want to 'lull' anymore.....i want to keep moving....i want the journey to never end. i never want to get to used to one place again...i want the feeling of 'newness' to fill my life as much as possible. i want to see and experience everything and everywhere. i want to meet everyone. i want to talk to them and hear their stories, and share their smiles. i want to take pictures of the world and everyone in it. i want to go to places nobody has ever been. i dont want to have a home. i dont want to have a place to hang my hat. i dont want an over abundance of things and objects that weigh me down. i dont want 20 pairs of jeans. i dont need 100 tshirts with beer logos on them. i dont need three computers. i dont need all this shit.

i just need to keep waking up.......and to feed myself from time to time....

...and i can do that anywhere i find myself.

and no matter what anyone tells you...life is different depending on where you find yourself....and i want to experience it all. i want to feel like the new kid in town over and over and over again. i want to polish myself up all nice like and re-introduce myself to the world.......

...i cant wait.

in all honesty...i may not last the rest of the summer....there are so many moments recently, now that i have concretely decided that this is what i am going to do, where i have wondered why i am waiting....why dont i just pack a bag and go tomorrow?

we'll see.....

..stay tuned...lol.

  1. Nah, not weird. I have read multiple books where people have done this, they were great books. :) My favorite was Walk Across America. You should read it before you go. Or while you are walking. Whichever. :)
