"So that's the famous Jack. What's he doing sleeping on the floor?"

As much as I would like to read "On the Road" more often, I have lately found myself with little time. Fortunately, I find the book interesting enough to squeeze time in to read it. I have followed Jack all the way to Denver, where he continues to partake in numerous shenanigans with Neal and Allen. I am still fascinated that I have not gone crazy with the lack of punctuation or editing either. I am extremely anxious to find out what really becomes of Neal. Also, what other crazy situations does the "gang"get in? Neal has already cheated on his wife, with another girl who does not know. He promises to marry Carolyn, and the complicated situation becomes worse. Well, enough of short plot summaries until next time. I am anticipating the turnout of Neal's predicament and I hope to find out soon.

College apps like to consume my life, by the way.

Do you have any time I could borrow?

College. College. College. Personally, I have become a little sick of the word, even with wonderful thoughts of this time next year in my head. The pain is getting to next year.. Surprisingly, I thought I would only have to fill out one college application. There's an interesting story about my position of filling out three, two of which I started a week-ish ago but we won't get into that now..
            My real point (other than to provide a very needed excuse for mercy, and time) is to talk about the current book I am reading. "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, is to say the least, intense. The great thing about it however, is I don't have the edited, appropriated version. I have the original scroll, no paragraphs, no chapters, no dialogue spacing. Most importantly, there's no editing. This book is crude, in the greatest way possible. I'm only a couple dozen pages in, but the real, gritty sense of Jacks journey is completely evident, and I cannot wait to have the time to read it regularly again.
        
          I'm sorry, you said you can't give me any time? Well then, I suppose I need to keep moving.
