Sometimes it needs to be about how many hamburgers you ate

February 3rd of the second year

I swiveled the computer chair around to greet BJ coming up the stairs at his house in Austin. "I have too much time to write and it shows. I'm just going on and on and on about little things and blowing up my thoughts into huge journal entries." He knew how easy this was to do. Sometimes it's necessary, other times it isn't, and "Sometimes", BJ replied, "it needs to be about how many hamburgers you ate".

Remember when I said I had more than my fair share of serendipity on this tour? Well, considering that I am obsessed with the Lord of the Rings, reference it a billion times throughout the journal, like to pretend I'm a halfling and read "The Hobbit" for the first time while crossing Texas, this encounter just seemed to make sense. And look! I know all the characters!

WEEEEEE!!!

Why does it look like those eagles are carrying people?
I cycled passed the sign. Then I saw the Shire. "HOLY SHIT THOSE ARE HOBBITS!"

Thror's map.

Shadowfax. He is the Lord of all Horses and has been my friend through many dangers.

Eeeeeeee!!!

"'Do we really have to go through Mirkwood?', groaned the hobbit. 'Yes, you do!' said the wizard, 'if you want to get to the other side. You must either go through or give up your quest... there are no safe paths in this part of the world.'"

HA!

The Wargs of Wilderland!

Are you seeing this?!?!!

Bard and the Black Arrow :-)

Me treasures!

Never too old to be a kid.

About the author:


	My name is Charles Tronolone and I'm attempting something a bit unconventional; I'm trying to make a living by writing while on a perpetual bicycle tour. How I got to this point is a story in itself, but suffice to say that I refuse to be just another cog in the machine. There's too much important work to be done and too many eyes to open for us to be content with personal goals or riches. In late 2006, I managed to escape the machine, and now I'm setting off to help bring it down. Whether or not this website proves to generate the revenue required to keep me on the road remains to be seen. I understand that the odds are heavily against me and that this means of income requires incredible amounts of time I simply won't have. However, it's the content that is going to accomplish what actually matters in the end. Should I fail financially, there's pride in knowing that I have already succeeded in purpose -- I have helped to liberate my peers to spread truth and meaning into their own lives. If you're interested in helping my cause or have found the articles on this site to be personally beneficial or simply entertaining, please check out a couple of the ways you can help contribute. Aside from a kind donation, there is actually an easy way for you to earn $20 while simultaneously helping me on my mission. It allows you to *withdrawal cash from any* foreign ATM without paying a fee, and it's something that has saved me a lot of money while traveling. Click here** to learn more.
