Out of Step

Hey,
I'm 19, male, high school graduate, typically atypical thought provoker, free thinking, and at the moment unfortunately very cynical.
Over the past six months, after having been kicked out of my house by a narrow-mindedly oppressive step father, I've been rejected student loans for a school I was finally accepted to, slept in my car throughout the entire winter season, lost my shitty retail job, and eventually(just a month ago) lost my car.
Now I'm living on my best friends bedroom floor for a few weeks, after being kicked out of my cousin's apartment because I couldn't find another job soon enough for her... if i still cant find a job by soon, I'm back on the street again.
I'm fed up with searching for a shitty under-paid, corporate slave job and getting nowhere with my efforts for finding one, even if it's something temporary.
I want to travel. I bought a bike with the little savings I have left. I have ambition. I have common sense, and a brain hungry for knowledge and experience.
I'm sick of trying to fit into this disgusting, terrifyingly inhumane and thoughtless American culture that I so obviously can not see myself lasting another month in, so I want to leave my area, and see if there's anything worth living for in any other part of this country, or maybe in some other country.
I just wish I could find something to make my life worth living, as I've stated in the title of this thread, I'm young, and I'm poor, so I've got nothing to lose... So I'd like to start looking as soon as possible.
I came across this site, and registered in the hopes of maybe finding some useful travel/sqauting tips/advice/general knowledge, and perhaps, people I could join who are already doing it, or people who would want to join me.
I will be completely ready to leave soon, I just changed the tires on my road bike and sold everything I had except for this computer and the things I can carry on my back.
Let me know if there's anything you think I should know before I do this, or if you're interested in joining me or having me join you.
I'm pretty serious about this, despite how noobish or juvenile this post may look to some of you who are experienced with living on the road or off of the earth, because I'm running out of options I'm comfortable with.
Also, I play music (various instruments) and have above average drawing skills(nothing I could make money off of as far I know).
Looking forward to any response, negative or positive in nature, although I'm much more hopeful for the latter...
Peace.
