The journey begins

Thought I should start this one off with a few words about the evening of Friday the 25th of March 2011.  It may have been a little over the top with the fire department, cops (Billy), and later on the Land lord, but I appreciate all my friends that came to send me off and even more to the friends that can read (brought me a mixed cd).  Ask someone else about the party details.  I'll miss most of you guys I'm sure. haha.

I'm all packed and I hit the road after watching UND destroy Denver. As the picture shows, my car was packed to the brim.  I have downsived my life enough to fit just my essential things into this small car.  Humbling to think what we really need just to live on, which could still be a few less things then I have haha.  Staying the night in the cities and tomorrow I will be meeting up with an old friend, T.J., in Chicago.


235/3,600 miles down and only 3,365/3,600 to go, I'm basically there. 


As I was driving today one of my favorite songs came on the internet radio, swing life away by Rise Against, which was perfect for the situation at hand... the best verse sings,  
      
      I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
      The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
      Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

      I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
      But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
      We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

Interpret as you will
