Great, now I've got that song stuck in my head. So I've been in the same damn small town all my life, and it just feels like it's getting smaller. After my last trip, I drove down the west coast and across the US on I-40. I had the time of my life on that trip. Then I came back home about 3 months ago and I'm pretty much miserable here again like i was before I left. I've got a job working with my dad, I've been living with my folks since I got back, and now I'm feeling the same pressure that makes me want to explode as I did before I left. So now, I'm at the point where I wonder if I should just quit my job just before summer and help my dad train a new crew member and head out, or if I should stick it out until winter. and I haven't been coming up with much reason to stay. Even though I feel like I'd be abandoning my dad, I know that he could easily train somebody more efficient than me. I'm off my game here, I've got my head in the clouds and can't even focus on work. I make good money, but everything I buy breaks so I'm not feeling like putting in 40hrs/wk for that. Also, When I was on the road, people were noticing things about me that people have never noticed before, I was noticing things I hadn't noticed before. I was practicing guitar nearly every day, I was learning, reading, socializing, walking TONS, and having a blast.
I feel like I've already convinced myself, I don't know why I feel the need to post it here. I suppose it'd be nice to talk about it to somebody from a travelers perspective because nobody in my home town can relate.
Maybe if somebody's on the west coast and wants to get out as badly as I do, we could plan on teaming up. I tend to prefer traveling via automobile, subaru wagons are my preferred vehicle of choice. I'm pretty damn good at gas jugging, sign flying, and I love finding a nice place to busk. Also, I'm pretty good at hitchhiking, forget putting out a thumb, I'll walk right up to a gas station and find a ride WAYYY quicker. I've never hopped trains, but I'm sure somebody will talk me into it one day.
I'm 23, live in Washington state, wanna get the hell out. what d'ya think?
