Destination: Somewhere Only We Know

Ever dreamed of just getting in a car and driving somewhere, anywhere but here, for an extended period of time...? I bet you have. And I bet you have also wondered who to take with you in such a trip. After all, it is not an easy decision to make. Said person must be one of intestinal fortitude, one that can laugh at your jokes on anything from pigs to clowns to drunks staggering out of bars, hell, even family members. Said person must be one that sees the proverbial "big picture". After all, a trip such as this deserves attention to this type of detail. You must ask yourself questions like, will this person be ok if I have to borrow their deodorant? Will this person be ok if I light their underwear on fire while they sleep...? Will this person be totally ok with me driving in my briefs with one foot out the window...? I know what you are thinking...who does these things..? Well, it just so happens that such are the only kind of people that can make these kind of trips. The kind that spell out things such as bar fights, and dream escapes; epic, legendary travels that constitute of wicked things and even crazier stunts.

It isn't healthy, and it's probably not recommended by the FDA, or religious cult groups in middle-America - but it's there for the taking, the idea of travelling out of state, out of mind, for days on end, sleeping in your car, bathing in a pond (or someone's shower if they leave the window open...).

Bring on the rock and the blues and the myriad of delicious but corrosive items such as sausages, and hot dogs and burritos and BBQ sauce lathered wings. It's time to make some of our own magic out there under God's blue sky. After all, we either get busy living, or get busy dying.

Road trip 2012 baby!

  1. I am compelled to post.....for the simple admission that I choose you! I'm glad you have no problem with midnight underwear burning sessions, as that just may occur. Let's do this!
