magic bus

1) Before this, i was so determined to run away. Run away to a remote island. Just me and Him and nature.


2) I watched a movie yesterday entitled "Into The Wild". This movie really really creeps me out.


3) Chris McCandless grew up in suburban Annandale, Virginia. After graduating in 1990 with high grades from Emory University, McCandless ceased communicating with his family, gave away his savings of approximately $25,000 to Oxfam and began traveling, later abandoning his car.


4) In April 1992, McCandless hitchhiked to the Stampede Trail in Alaska. There, McCandless headed down the snow-covered trail to begin an odyssey with only 10 pounds of rice, a .22 caliber rifle, several boxes of rifle rounds, a camera, and a small selection of reading material — including a field guide to the region's edible plants, Tana'ina Plantlore. He declined an acquaintance's offer to buy him sturdier clothing and better supplies. After surviving more than 100 days, he died sometime in August and his body was found, in early September, by a couple and a group of moose hunters.


5) This was exactly what i have had in mind. The end of the movie had Chris wrote "happiness is only real when shared". This really got to me right in the head. The search for happiness only ends up with a conclusion that you can't get happiness if you are alone, leaving the ones that you love.


6) This movie really got to me. Thank you Allah. :-)
