Into the wild!!

I have discovered my calling…. watched an awesome enlightning (Seems to be my favorite word these days ) movie last night – Into the wild …. encapsulating the true adventures of  Chris McCandless who takes takes up the Identity “Alexannder Supertramp”…..

The movie portrays the adventures of a great wanderer who truly gives up his life to call the road his home… It made me wonder is this whole carreer nonsence a crazy invention of the 21st century … do you really need a job to satisfy yourself & to say that “You have Lived”??? do you need to go through the motions of  what we have come to call a life – school – college – job – marriage – retirement – death… what would happen if there were more people like chris who made a radical change of lifestyle … If you need a movie that makes you think (Must watch it stoned the next time) A movie that has an awesome soundtrack – a great cast – some great quotes – & a strong message on life or what we called it…

 This movie really hit something in me. I never feel complete in society. My job, my house, my friends, my parents &  all of my useless crap. And I work to keep it and build on it. But it’s not what I really want. It’s all about keeping up with the Jones’s. It’s so blah living this day in age. All that we work for is the sugary, fatty frosting on top.
I want to feel alive to really live – to meet people that actually say what they …feel do whatever the fuck they want to whenever they want to…It is only on the road when I travel that I get this experience of “There’s more to life” – The road is endless…
This is where you realize your raw potential. You stare the world right in the eyes and say “take me if you can”. But not without the world demanding respect. Am I making any sense to you people?…
