("Living" is a verb that encompasses the both necessary and extracurricular activities, representing a journey. )
Wonderful phrase, there, Cash, and one I will certainly take to heart in all of my endeavors... great way to look at it, and put it to the point. More people should think of living like this....

Or it could be described as one rad glamorous roadtrip, if you do it right *snicker*
It's a good analogy...I never got the "get a life" deal...I figure I'm breathing, peeing, and eating regularly at the least so it would seem that I'm doing at least PART of it right.

I think what you wrote is quite beautiful. It would be nice if the people i hang out with at school could all read it. and understand it. and respect it. The way i see it labels are rather important to people, especially young people. We live in a discommunicated world, Everything is so swift, cold and mechanized that people begin to forget there roots (religious, cultural, spiritual, even culinary) they yearn more and more for a retreat to the past, simpler times, the more they stray from it. one of those roots is humans being clan based animals. The warm security of a family hearth, 15 or 20 people all working together, to hunt, to fish, to build, to live in a unit, has become a rarity in our time. Humans are social animals, and even if being gothic, or preppy, or part of an online forum group creates a substitue for the family unit. With divorce rates up, as you said, and the world being a generally unfriendly war ridden nazi shitehole, the angst ridden teens of today crave the retreat more than anyone could possibly imagine. and it can only get worse before it gets better. I should know. I'm 15. good luck.
