and while i'm at it

i've made a decision! the summer after i turn 21, which is also the summer after i graduate, i am going to tour the country with just my car, my guitar, some clothes, books, and food/gas money.

3 months is enough time for me to fulfill this dream, i think. it'll make a nice cushion between college in southern california and finding a job in new york city.

the endless possibilites that exist in the seemingly neverending roads of the country are soothing. i want to drive, drive, drive far away from here. i want to rest my head in a new place every night. i want to meet different people, find new perspectives on life and everything in it. i want fields, abandoned shops, cities, horizons, smoky bars, live music, books that are meaningful, paved roads that lead nowhere & dirt roads that take me to places we have only dreamt of, coffee, cigarettes, weatherbeaten faces whose lines and wrinkles tell all kinds of stories.

i can't wait.
