Jack Kerouac's On The Road is one of mt favourite books and has had a huge impact on my outlook. It also instilled me with a wanderlust and romanticized view of life that I've never been able to shake. In part it was one of the driving forces that sent me around the world, but I still have a need to travel the country much like Sal and Dean.
I long for the summer, a car and the open road. A little company would be nice as well, but just like my trek around the world I can usually find some cool people.
It might be a little backwards going around the globe but you can't really see your own world if you haven't seen everyone else's. Other than Quebec and Ontario I haven't seen what else this country has to offer and I'm sure the other provinces are as foreign as Asia or Europe is to me.
Maybe that's what I need to break out of this doldrum.
I need to wake up in a car, in a new city.
