Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

July 17, 2018

I started writing consistently after I hit the road back in September 2011. My little green car buzzed me around America. And in the subject of my emails to my friends and family back home I wrote "Explode Into Space". It was a reference to the greatest roadtrip song of all time, Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf. And it made me laugh.

The section I like goes like this: 
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

The song feels like a ridiculous adventure. It's an anthem to throwing caution to the wind.

And with that being said, that's what I want to do now. I want to play again. I want to write again.
