On the road//again//by and by

so me and j-loheim(holding his freshly mastered darling cd in hand)
those suckas are gonna go like hot cakes

anyways
we're outside talking in this beautiful stint of warm weather
when what do I hear him say to the world
but "I hate on the road"

screeeeeeeeeeeeeech [pause] record needle ripped off of the turn table
dishes dropped in the kitchen
all of the birds stopped their squaking
and I stood their dumbfounded

it was like a christmas story but only jeff hadn't said "fudge"
he said the mother of all word against a novel that changed the
way people looked at the world and life.

now maybe I am blowing this book up a little more than it needs
but it really was a great ideal, not just book to look at our country
and people.

I have definitely gotten older with my years
and the initial grip of on the road has faded slightly
but it still moves

who cares if the things really isn't that well written,
and the story really doesn't go anywhere,
that is what makes it such a beautiful book
the desire to escape the monotony of life and live your dreams
suncrested by a gorgeous sunset or starlit skies
the search for oneself and one's country
crossing over this land of ours

I never understood why most of the girls I know
never liked the book, I mean I have yet to know a girl who
actually liked the book.
I guess I can understand it is a very mascu-centro
(I think I just made that word up) book

I mean, this was the first book since "a catcher in the rye"
that actually made me enjoy and in general "want" to read
(and travel for that matter)

"...all jedi had were a bunch of muppets"

anyways here's one of my favorite lines in the book

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
