T-7 and counting

You dont know me from the guy picking his nose in the car across from you but I am you. Today marks one week from the day that I will be homeless and unemployed in the worst economy since the great depression and riding around the country oh hope and God's will. Why? Cause I have to. For both of us. This is the essence of the adventure I will embark on...oh wait...who in the world am I? Elliot Axiom and I think I'm a poet, we will soon find out if I'm any good because thats how I will be financing this trip (buy somethin dammit!). Presently in NC, orginally from NYC (dont ask "Y") a member of the bull city slam team, a walking billboard against stereotypes (6'5" 300lb bald black ex-jock frat boy who writes poetry) who is infected with "wanderlust" and yearns for the road. Disclaimer:Dont try this shit at home...or alone! I plan to ride for a lot of reasons.
Catharsis
Curiosity
To See
To be Seen
To hear and to talk
To take pictures of places we forget or dont know exist
To ride Blue Highways (great book by the way)
most importantly to find out if there is something more...or is this all there is. If you wonder the same things but for whatever reason cant make the journey I invite you to ride with me.
