Into the Wild

So I've always wanted to backpack, go on an adventure, meet new people, run into different cultures, search for my soul, etc.

I was getting ready for work and on t.v. was Oprah. She was interviewing Sean Penn and Emile Hirsch. Sean directed a new movie called, "Into the Wild." It sounded so fascinating, Sean brought clips from the film and the sound, the music, the color, everything looks fantastic. Anyway, the story is what caught my attention the most. . . and it's based on real events.

It's about a man named Christopher McCandless. After college, he well, traveled. Here's a link to his story. It's so interesting.

Now, yes it didn't end so well, but it was LIVING. It was excitement. It was seeing what the world really entails and breathing in every bit of it. I'm so jealous he had the nerve to pack up and just go. It seems like now I'm in a rut and thrill-seeking is moving quickly to the bottom of my to do list. For now I guess I'll just bask in the mini adventures I encounter everyday.

Anyway, more info on the movie is here. I hope you all will be like me and attend opening night. . . I plan on taking notes. ;)


Oh and by the way, I was late to work on that day. Thank you Oprah.
