Cars....not a huge neccesity but a good thing to have for travelling quite a distance.
My first car was a 1991 Navy Blue Honda Civic, which I so appropriately named Beastly, after the little furball from Care Bears due to the fact when you started up the car, it sounded like Beastlys' laugh.
That car caused me trouble and cost me lots of dollars for upkeep. Time went on and that car had died and was finally out of my life.
Now I have a newer car, a 2003 Hyundai Accent I bought from my uncle, and it has been great, until now. Just recently coming off a bad (in my mind) radio show this past Thursday night at school, I walk to the parking lot, get in my car, start it up, put it in reverse and then.....it starts coasting forward. After letting out a few loud profanities, I called my dad to come help me out. We were able to get the car out of the spot but not much further. As of writing this blog my car is still at the garage as I'm waiting to hear officially what went on it.
I was able to get out for a walk today, loaded up the mp3 player and took off, and I got to say I probably would not have done that had my car been working.
We all get caught up in things, taking stuff for granted. It happens, we're human.
I was able to remember though that on the right day, with the right mood, a walk can be perfect when you find that right song to compiment the other factors. I was taken away. I felt seperated from all the rest of the world. A really awesome zen-like moment.
The only thing that kept it from being perfect was finding a secluded lake to sit by, that would have been bad ass.
I will keep in mind that when I finally do get my car back, that my feet do not require gas, nor costly maintenance, and that the perfect get away is just a walk away.
Recommended walking songs by me are:
Hard Road - Sam Roberts
Downtown and Where am I Going - Matt Mays
Nothing More to Say - Joel Plaskett Emergency
Next Year - Foo Fighters
Anything by Elliott Smith
Just a thought ;)
Until next time, Keep it rockin.
