    How did you leave?

    This is mainly directed toward those who up and left after high school, or ran away and never went back, or got their degree and said 'fuck a job'. Or however you gave the farewell and hit the road. The question is: How did YOU do it? What was your situation? Did you leave a note? A voicemail...

    Music theory is good for any musician

    Great stuff. Yeah, I definitely think music theory really helps one to get his shit together musically. I used to be an arrogant three chord punk thinking I was hot shit writing songs on my guitar and thinking I was cool because I could play shitty 12bar blues renditions on my piano. Sheeiiit, I...

    Communes?

    I've been planning a nice long traveling session when I take a year off of college next year. I've been researching heavily and I've found that there are a lottt of communes all over the US. These communes have various different prerequisites for entrance. So my question is, in YOUR...

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    Welp, been about a week and a half and I still haven't even seen him since, so I doubt I'll be drinking with him soon.

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    It's always the biggest, baddest dudes with something to hide, hahaha. Funny shit.

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    Well, see, that's the thing. Me and Joel can handle our liquor for the most part. We keep within what we can drink. But we both have noticed that Tony tends to start acting funny after one. And he's really not faking it. I think he may have some sort of chemical imbalance where alcohol affects...

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    Very much agreed. I probably won't even have a beer with him again.

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    If it weren't for my other friend taking his knife and if it weren't for Joel being there to stop him from choking me out, I'm pretty sure I would have died. I don't think it sounds that far from a murder situation. It definitely could have resulted in death. I mean, Joel was restraining him...

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    I mean, me and Joel drink like that frequently without incident. It was just him being there and not being able to handle his liquor. He overdid himself and no one could stop him because it was his liquor, he bought it and he fully intended to drink as much of it as possible. But I don't know...

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    It was just.. not a good night. On top of that, the next day... excessive drinking + drunken deathmatch = full body hangover. Everything hurt. Still does.

    So, my best friend tried to kill me last night.

    Yes, there was alcohol involved. Lots. But he wasn't just stupid drunk like he usually gets. He was "I fucking hate you and I'm determined to have you die at my hands tonight." drunk. And I'm not exaggerating. There's a bike path that runs along a river in the small town I live in. It's about 3...

    Anyone seen a young guy named Colin from WA State?

    Nah, he said he hated StP. Don't think it'd be him.

    Anyone seen a young guy named Colin from WA State?

    If you get in contact with him, just mention me as the guy in front of north station who gave him a cigarette and was talking about how he wanted to go out on the rails after high school. That's probably how he'll remember me.

    Anyone seen a young guy named Colin from WA State?

    Blond hair, got a UP tattoo on his forearm, has a black lab? Believe he told me he's 20, been traveling for 3 years or so, and originally from the Seattle area. Last I saw, he was with 2 older dudes who's names totally escape me, and this dude named Monty, who walks around with a sunhat and...

    When Friends Show Their True Colors..

    I agree. It's just funny how, the more I get involved in this side of life, the more distant I grow from those around me I consider close. It's an odd feeling.

    Advice for a newbie

    Oh no man i'm not mad. I'm glad someone older is calling me out on that. I guess it's just I'm still sort of feeling like an outsider to this whole movement because I haven't gotten into it that much yet because I couldn't, which is why I want to go next year because I'll finally be able to with...

    Advice for a newbie

    I was being sardonically humorous about the record thing. I really don't care. No need to snap at me. Sorry a question about how to not come off as an asshole makes me sound stupid. Sorry I'm turning to people who know better than me for help with an issue I have. No need to be pretentious...

    Advice for a newbie

    Ah, so it was you. I'm not asking how to act. It's pretty common sense 'How to act." No. Maybe I worded it wrong, but I was asking what NOT to do. What to avoid. Stuff like that. Having street smarts is a pretty obvious necessity. I just see a hell of a lot of posts roasting "stupid kids" and I...

    When Friends Show Their True Colors..

    So, I tried explaining this whole adventure idea to a couple of my closest friends, and they just don't understand it. When I told them about my plans to hop a train, they responded with, "Why don't you just buy a train ticket? Or ride buses cross-country?" Shit like that gets me. It really...

    Advice for a newbie

    I've really grown to like StP a lot lately, but I see a lot of posts here about "dirty arrogant kids" this, "d-bag kids" that, whatnot. I'm only 17. When I turn 18 I plan to take the first train out. And just go. And with all these posts going around about "fucking kids" I'd like to know how I...

    Dear kids...

    I really enjoyed this post. As a kid who's gonna be hitting the rails and whatnot soon, thinking about how I'm going to be making money and assessing and re-assessing my street smarts(?) it's good to hear stuff like this so I start right and stay grounded. I'll definitely remember these.

    East Coast Kid Looking to Live.

    Always on lock man. Today ain't a time to be getting caught off guard. Always keep myself reading and learning, getting smarter, and hopefully getting wiser and trying to spread that to others. A wise man once told me knowledge turns to wisdom when it's shared. Try to get it, try to give it. And...

    East Coast Kid Looking to Live.

    I can't though. I would love to go now, but I need to finish high school, at the very least. I have a year left. I was planning on next June. I don't know. All I know is that I'm gonna be gone eventually. I just don't know where. And @keg, the reason I'm planning it out is because I'm not trying...

    I'm a 17 year old kid from Rhode Island developing an ever-growing obsession with adventure. I've always wanted to get away. I've spent months planning, plotting.. Sharpie to Road Atlas. Printing pictures. Researching hitching laws, researching train routes, types and stations; organizing places...
