(and why you shouldnt read this blog) http://justinwashere.com/what-are-we-running-from-and-why-you-shouldnt-read-this-blog/ Travel tales and backpacking information from Justin Jones Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nancy Deitchman http://justinwashere.com/what-are-we-running-from-and-why-you-shouldnt-read-this-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-811 Nancy Deitchman Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:43:45 +0000 http://justinwashere.com/blog/what-are-we-running-from-and-why-you-shouldnt-read-this-blog/#comment-811 Hi Justin, Your Dad and I enjoy reading your blogs. Glad to hear you are well and enjoying life. Did you know that Soolin has set a date to be married to Katch on June 20, 2009. It will be at our house in Grass Valley. We sure hope that you will be able to come home to be a part of the day. Your Dad turns 65 on Oct. 7th. We had a dinner for him in Davis this past Saturday. Everyone had a nice time and we missed seeing you. Kristen is doing better. When I went to Seattle to get her registered for Junior Colllege in May, she was not in a safe or good place. Little Sophia is getting big. Kevin and Eve are lucky to have a very good baby. That's enough rambling for me. Please know that you are in our minds and hearts. Take care! Love, Nancy Hi Justin,

I have the wanderlust. I just am having trouble hitting the road for good. I would love to be a nomad such as yourself. How did you get started? How much money should I save before I start? I suppose these are silly questions i dunno. I save up and take trips every few months but it barely gets me by. I need to live the road. I just dont know how to begin. Maybe I should just say fuck it and hit it but I fear homelessness or starvation. Any advice would be awesome. thanks and good luck! Hey dude,

" Ah, yes, SO, this blog hit me in a big, BIG, BIG way. I'm about to hit the road, and I've lived in about 8 apartment through the past three years....I miss prematurely ended relationships, friendships, comfort, etc. but I FEAR NORMALCY.....Definitely do NOT like responsibility, I'm terrified of feeling unfulfilled or having regrets when I'm old.....I don't want to become a drone, I don't want to report to anywhere with cubicles, and I don't want to have to find someone to watch my Dog when I go out of town, or pick up papers in the driveway. But shit, that's just TONIGHT....tomorrow I may be feeling completely different, thus creating a cycle of loneliness with a hint of jealously towards all of the people who seem so "comfy." Where is the fucking balance? I've always been an extremist. Highs, lows, ups, downs, kiss and make up, fight and break up, repeat. ARG. I'm just rambling now. I guess what I meant to say is, yes, I understand this blog. cheers? And that's my little selfish contribution, as if anyone cares to read about my fickle, fickle thinking and neurosis. “All those wonderful, beautiful connections that you make along the road must inevitably be broken. ” Ah, yes, SO, this blog hit me in a big, BIG, BIG way.
