Into the Wild, Into Colorado

1. Where would you go? Why? Where is it on the map?

Assuming that I'm only allowed to travel only within the continents boundaries I'd like to live in Denver, Colorado. The reasons are that the people there are friendly, they're eco-friendly, crime is near minimum, and it is filled with nature. You're surrounded by nature, everywhere you look, every corner, behind every building there's a reminder of nature. Mountains fill the land, rivers passes through cities, forests surrounding every city. You're literally engulfed by mother nature herself. That's why I wanted to go visit Colorado.

2. How long will you be traveling?
I'd say that I plan to travel for a years time. Spending my time meeting new people, seeing new places, and living. I've done the research and saw that it would be an average of 1,823 miles for me to reach my destination. Using Google Maps, it would take 573 hours if I walked and 169 hours if I rode a bike. Guessing that I would half walk and half bike I would reach my destination in approximately 371 hours. Taking in hours needed for sleep, eat, self-time, enjoying surroundings, it would take about 2 months time for travel, by itself.

3. How do you plan to travel? Why are you choosing this mode of transportation?
I'd plan to travel by bike, and if i get too tired to petal I'll walk with my bike besides me. The bike is an ideal mode of transportation, since it would lift excessive amount of weight. I would not only carry necessary living equipment, I'll shorten time of travel and save money. Although at one point when biking seems to be too much, I'd plan to sell it save the money for when I want to bike again I'd simply go to a junk yard and buy another one, cheaper preferably.

4. What will you need for your trip? How are you going to provide food/traveling expenses while you're on the road?
For my trip I plan to take a pair of light weight set of clothes. My sketch pad, pencils, and a camera - are explained later- I'd take some good book to read when I needed a break from everything, where I'd drown myself in the lives of others. I also plan to take some money with me for my food. I'd buy cheap foods that are able to keep my stomach content. I would earn money buy running errands for people who'd want to help me. I'd plan to stop in a town long enough at a time to get a short job and earn as much money as I can before moving on. As for expenses I really wouldn't buy anything unnecessary since it would only lead towards dead weight. The only thing that I might buy while on the road would be even more books.

5. What do you plan to accomplish on this trip?
I plan to accomplish freedom, independence, confidence, and to live life to the fullest. To experience life's hardships and to gain patience. Although it sounds easy, and the phrase, 'better said than done,' does applies here, the main goal is to gain the courage to do things different. To be abnormal, stay from normality, live a bold life saying, 'that's right, I did that. I was stupid but I did it.' And finally I hope to accomplish trust, to follow my heart, and desires.

6. How will you record your experiences?
I will record my experiences by taking a sketch pad, art pencils, and color pencils. I'll draw what I see and who I meet. But just in case I'll also take a camera, one with a roll inside, that way it doesn't need recharging, and will always be convenient no matter what happens.

Searching ...

Found an interesting blog that'll scare the socks off your feet. It's called Self Inflicted Insomnia, and it tells really creepy stories. Stories that'll make you think twice of closing the door to your room, think twice to check under your bed, and watch out for haunted possessions. Though heave warning there are frightening pictures.

This blog is all about Science Fiction and Fantasy. It gives a whole bunch of recommendations and synopsis. As you read all the different and amazing books there are, the more you'll be dying to get your hands on them. This is just the beginning of dragging you towards the wonders of books. Its called SciFi Lovin' News and Reviews.

This blog is all about the universe, science, and more. Didn't you ever wanted to know about the multiverse? To some people the word 'multiverse' isn't even a real word. Do you know why? The word Universe means one verse. That's right ONE. While the multiverse means many verses, many universes. The word multiverse also keeps the idea of parallel universes alive. Want to know more?

And finally, for the scariest blog I've ever witnessed, I present 3AM. If you wonder why is it called 3AM maybe its due to the trauma you'll receive once opening the page. Its filled with indescribable horrors. It's filled with GIF's and pictures that will keep you awake until morning. I find this website amazing because its so scary I can't keep it out of my mind. My mind wonders back towards it, as thought I was hypnotized, and  I'd wonder what's next? Is it real? Is it scary? Perhaps you'll love it as much as I do.

Think Different


     While watching the video, 'Apple- Think Different' the narrator talked about change, about a different world. He spoke of how the people that stood out were the ones that makes us individuals. How the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the young ones, the one who see things differently, the ones that think they can change the world are the ones who changes our lives.

          In a way the narrator encourages people to be different, think different, be unique. But for change to come, for great minds to arise, for a different world it all starts with us. It starts with the young ones, the ones that can see through the evilness, the corrupt, the misguided and to correct them. That we hold the keys to the future, that we ARE the future. To think different, bring change.

          I agree that change is needed, that we need to change. This video applies not to just one life, it applies to all life. It makes us think, 'what will tomorrow bring'? Will we live in shelters underground because we were too late to change our ways? Will we live with gas masks on our faces and wear hazard suits because we didn't strive for an effort to be green? Or will we live in the harmony, peace, equality, and CHANGE? It all starts with us, it starts with us to think different. To make our home, our planet, a better place to live.
