" I smiled; I didnt say anything. He was a great coluble bum, and a bum who didnt drink, he was an idealistic hoboa and said 'That;s all there is to it, thats what i like to do, I rather hop freights around the country and cook my food out of tin cans over wood fires than be rich and how a home or work" (117-118)
This quote i know what i love it. This is the guy we should all really be this is a guy who is happy, who dosnt how to resurt to drugs, or alcohol or sex to be happy either, he just is. Hes doing it dilibritly, He knows this isnt the life that anyone wants to have growing up and hes knows it not 'ideal' or excepted by society. But hes happy and to him thats all that matters and when you get down to it. strip life of everything but the bare essientials thats what really matters. Are you happy? not how much money do you have? or what have you done iwth your life? Who gives a damn if you end up with that hallow void. The void that is their for my guess is 99% of the people in this world and its not nessisarly a bad feeling i dont think. The problem is its not a good one. It dosn't lift you up and make you feel like you doing somthing worth wild, for you. And for this guy its travilling its seeing the world and what it has to offer studieing society and it changes and happits and lifestyles. And at the end of the day really being what you want to be. The bum is AMZING.
