A Hop Skip and a Jump Past Obvious.

The running joke these days is that I’m living in a bad made for TV movie. This part of my life I think just lends itself to that sort of cliché. Newly graduated and trying to enter the “work force” things just all feel like a re-run of My so called Life or Felicity. I’m not sure the road trip, my love of old cameras or running boys down in alleys is really helping matters however. Either way I’m pushing forward and packing up, this isn’t my first big change or it certainly won’t be the last, I wonder how many times over the next ten-fifteen years I’ll bounce up and down the east coast…

The deeper I get into these plans however the more I feel like nothing I do has any legitimacy. I think maybe the cute nostalgic nature of my car is what started it and Walter’s general cuteness defiantly does not help. If he was a golden retriever or a bit bigger and a little scruffier he’d be the perfect made for TV dog. If I were driving from NY to California it would be worse but Georgia to NY is not to much better. I’m hoping that the next three months or so start feeling less like they are happening inside a television screen and more like they belong to me.

As I am a nervous person by nature I’ll have to keep an eye out for outrageous characters and silly road side attractions to snap and share. I can’t wait to drive through Tennessee it’s the kind of state that lends itself to outrageous road side attractions and I know that on the way to Tenn. in northern Georgia there is a giant pig sign I can’t wait to catch a few shots of. For the most part I’m pretty excited about the trip but my biggest worry is that my little old VW Beetle will breakdown in the middle of nowhere Kentucky, I’ll be stranded and my story will take on a horrible slasher movie theme. I’d be ok with something a little more bubble gum and cherry soda themed.

Update: planning to be out of the Highland place in 7days. Walter and I will be shoving off in 11days.
