On my (not so) peice of shit car

         I drive a '94 dodge neon (no it doesn't deserve to be uppercase), four door, manual transmission, rolling piece of shit. But something struck me yesterday, i may be taking it for granted, i mean, yeah it burns oil..and leaks oil, it has four bad struts, the turn signals only work when they want to, the engine sounds like a gerbil is trying to escape it using a ball peen hammer, and it has no cd player....or radio for that matter.  But, it still runs, even if barely, i have taken it to Colorado, up the mountain, and back home to Michigan (adding two quarts of oil every 300 miles or so).
        But how can i complain, before the invention of cars we had.....horses, there's no way I'd make a 1,300 mile trip in under 24 hours on a horse. And when i want to go out to the bar or even just to pick up a pack of smokes, i don't have to get my car prepared, no rigging of saddles or reigns, i just turn the key and go, and when i get back, i just walk away from it, no need to wash it down or feed it. Even if it is on the low (LOW) end of luxury automobiles, it's still one of the most advanced modes of transportation available to the public until the invention of the flying car.
        Seriously, just think of what it took to transport a pioneer family out west before the car, you crammed you, your spouse, and 5 children into a wagon, traveled for months across harsh terrain, with Indian attacks, and dysentery killing half of your party. And now if i want to move somewhere on the other side of the country, i get in my "piece of shit" car and arrive at my location in a day or two, depending on how much red bull i can afford.
    Did i mention i only paid $300 dollars for this car, and have yet to put any money into it (besides the oil it chugs) even after something like 5,000 miles of abuse ?
    So next time you complain about how much you hate your car, just remember......Horses.

Happy Birthday 'Merica

On Being A Nomad

     Besides having an ever racing mind, i also have a restless spirit. When i stay idle to long in one place i get an uncontrollable urge to move somewhere else, its almost a madness at times. Because of this flaw, over the last decade I've spent five summers living on an island, spent a couple years in the trucking industry, and Moved to Colorado and back with plans of moving out of state again within the year. The life of a nomad can be fun, I've had many interesting experiences, some good, some bad, but in the end there's always a good story to be told.

       The only times I've managed to feel OK about staying put is when in a relationship, but as soon as I'm not chained down i make my escape. It always feels like I'm trying to find a place that feels like home, I think that's what I've been searching for all theses years. The closest thing that makes me feel like im home is my best friend, which is the reason i made my return from Colorado. It wasn't that i didn't like Denver, it was an amazing city with great people, i loved my jobs and loved hanging out downtown. But it just didn't feel right without her there to experience it with. There were so many times when I'd see or hear something that i wanted to tell her, or hear of a cool event or pass by an interesting bar, and then remember the only person i want to share my adventures with was 1,200 miles away. 

      They always say home is where the heart is, but I'm learning home is who has your heart.
