To speak the truth, I'm incredibly jealous of Peter Pan. I mean, not only is he young forever (though, this means that he will always act immature), but he can also fly. What we saw in the movie was Peter being able to fly all on his own, but in my opinion, he probably needed a lot of help from a certain Tinkerbell in the beginning. If you've seen the movie (or read the book), then you would know that there were times when Peter Pan ignored poor Tinkerbell and left her alone and depressed.
Dang. Peter Pan is such a jerk! (One of the negatives of not growing up is that you never grow out of your stupidity.) Does he not know how lucky he is to have his own personal pixie that's filled to the brim with pixie dust?
Pixie dust. If I had a plastic Wal-Mart bag full of that, then I would finally be able to fulfill my dream of traveling the world.
I want to visit every country, meet all the different kinds of people in the world, experience all the amazing cultures, and just see it all. (Though, there are some places that I have no desire to step foot in. Like Greenland and Antarctica. A high of -1000°F is just not my thing.)
There's just one tiny problem. Well, first off: I do not have the money for this. Second off: I do not have the time for this. Third off: even if I had money and time, my parents would not take me anywhere and probably wouldn't let me go anywhere alone either. Fourth off: this was definitely more than one tiny thing.
And that's basically the reason why I'm here, writing this blog post. I want to experience the world, honest to God I do, but for the time being, I'll just have to substitute the "real traveling" part with some "real Google-ing."
And there we have it, ladies and gents: The reason behind the madness and the blog title.
I am going to travel and I am going to learn about cultures and places and people. The only thing is that I'm going to be doing it in the comfort of my own home, sitting on this rolly chair.
Lame? Probably. There will never be anything like real traveling, no matter how advanced our technology is in the future.
Interesting? Hopefully. I'll try at least. Maybe I'll be able to compose a nice little travel guide book through this blog.
And if all else fails, at least when I actually do travel, I'll know something about something.
