"When the virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward man, and the road away from Here seems broad and straight and sweet, the victim must first find in himself a good and sufficient reason for going.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

— John Gillespie Magee, Jr

The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk. ~Jacqueline Schiff








Walking takes longer... than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed. ~Edward Abbey, "Walking"

And the light that fills the world.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

"My old man told me, before he left this *****ty world, never chase buses or women, you'll always be left behind."

Marlboro, from "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man."

A lot of great quotes from that moronic movie, and this one has nothing to do with life or hiking, but I think it's fantastic advice:

My old man used to tell me, before he left this *****ty world,
there are five rules when shooting a game of pool for cash.
Lesson number one.
Always shoot with a cigarette hangin' in your mouth.
Lesson two.
Always know the table before you shoot.
Lesson number three.
Make sure you chalk that stick real good before each shot.
Lesson four.
Never make a bet... if you can't pay the debt.
Lesson number five.
If you lose,
stand up straight and tall and walk like a man.
Ahh...it's better in the movie.

Wow, did someone actually just quote "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man"?

In on of my former lives, I actually reviewed movies for awhile, and if there was ever a more deservedly reviled film (I think it came out around 1991) or a film more worthy of bombing miserably, I don't think I can remember it.

Mickey Rourke was in some truly horrible movies back in the day (Rumblefish, Year of the Dragon, Angel Heart, etc.) but this one may well take the cake.

I'm trying to think of anything I saw in that period that was so irredeemably sh***y. Maybe Stallone in "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!" or maybe "Highlander II" or "Hudson Hawk."

This was not the golden age of American film.

JT, you're killing me. I usually look forward to your comments, but I think this is extremely short-sighted. Clearly this was an awful, awful film, but are we so cynical that we can't appreciate the "good bad movie?" A movie so unforgivably and unashamedly bad that it somehow goes all the way around the circle of value and ends up back in the green?

This is how I imagine "the pitch" back in L.A. in 1991: So, there's these two buddies, one wears a ridiculous leather NASCAR racer outfit and the other wears chaps and a cowboy hat. They're both men among men: drinking, smoking, screwing, and fighting. They live in a an America that has fallen from grace, where lawlessness and crime bosses are the rule of the day. Gas costs $3.98 a gallon and Die Hard 5 just got released (both of the prior two things actually are shown in the opening sequence of the movie, and are remarkably prescient, albeit 12 years early). A white collar criminal whose cover company is a huge bank is secretly the primary supplier of the newest, most toxic, recreational drug "crystal dream." This nefarious villain crosses our heroes by demanding some ridiculous rent money from the owner of our heroes' favorite roadhouse. Our heroes decide to fight back by robbing the villain's bank. Violence ensues, all of our heroes friends and acquaintances get killed by the banks army of bullet-proof-leather-trenchcoat-clad henchman, and the movie climaxes by the villain getting killed. Throw in a healthy dash of gratuitous nudity and classic one-liners, and you've got yourself a cult hit. Then cast Miami Vice's Don Johnson, your local rapsheet's Mickey Rourke, your local coke dealer's Tom Sizemore, an obscure Baldwin brother, and a horde of skanky women, and you've got a cult masterpiece.

Clearly, I've seen this movie about 12 times too many (which = 12 times), love it to a disturbing degree, and have no taste. And I'm proud of that. The rest of you critics can go sit through "The English Patient."

I'm heart-broken to say this, Mr. Tarlin, but I once eagerly looked forward to looking you up on my '10 thru-hike. Now, however, I'm not so sure we can be friends. I'll sleep on it.

Ummmm. Well, close. Thomas Edison. But they both had "e", "i", "n", "s", "t" in their names, so I can see how you got confused. And both lived in New Jersey. That can be confusing, too. So does Bruce Springsteen, who is inspired and perspires. Very confusing. I'm glad I cleared this up for myself.

Jack, if you can hang with Swayze, then you can hang with me.

My brother found a "Patrick Swayze Action Pack" of DVDs and give it to me for Christmas two years ago. Red Dawn, Youngblood, and Road House in one convenient set. Who thought of that marketing idea? Keep in mind that these are three bad movies that are 20 years old (not Harley Davidson bad, but bad nonetheless). They probably sold about 4 nationally.

My hero, Jane Goodall, wrote about this and tried to describe her feelings in a poem when she was 20 -- the poem was about the beauty around her and the feelings she had when gazing up at some geese flying over head - and her eyes met with one of the geese and she writes:

"and in my heart, the pain of joy
that such a thing could be."

Can you imagine a public official- any public official, much less any President- saying that today? Great quote.

"I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks."
--Daniel Boone

During the fighting in Italy during WWII, a British officer was seen walking to the front with a complete civilian camping kit strapped to his back. When asked why was he carrying all that stuff, the indignant reply was "Well! Just because one is in combat doesn't mean that one has to be uncomfortable!"
