Christopher McCandless
I am on a journey of my own, it often starts on my couch, I exhaust the urge to do wild things, from the comfort of my home, I don't seem to get hurt that way, I drink and drive my couch all over the universe, I don't seem to get hurt that way, I recently watched a movie that took me and my couch a long ways away from here, to help me on this journey was a friend Eddie, me and my couch were hurt at the end of this journey, watching Chris McCandless celebrate his life and the folly of his end, me and my couch will never be the same, I learn so much about myself through others, I exhaust my urge to do wild things on the comfort of my couch, blasting the sound track to Into the Wild.
Thank you Eddie for singing the life of Chris McCandless for me and my couch!

haha it is!
welcome to the club! although sometimes my adventures take me off my couch onto my hammock in the back yard
great first post btw
Your couch should read the book to you. It's MUCH better than the movie.
I can dig it!

so i put 2 and 2 together and figured you must be out of your fucking mind.
that made me bust out laughing
magic bus day
If you find it send it home, because with out it I am alone, I don't use it as much as I should, at times I distrust it but it keeps me company, it gets me into trouble more often that not, but that’s cool because none of it really grey matters...

na, really i'm joking.
i'm in a wheelchair, and one of the things i obsessed about when reading the book, was what it would be like to take that kind of trip without the damn wheelchair.
so yeah, i get what you're saying.
But I am not quite the couch potato I proclaim to be I'm a 50/50 as you can see.
When my lazy is good I revel, when my adventure is good I am grateful. Thanks for reminding me I am privileged to couch not confined, mentally or physically.
Front row PJ you rock
Locks of love you rock
If you are ever in southern California look me up if your disability allows I have a two seat 4X4 quad I would be glad to take you on an adventure, as you say "without that damn wheel chair"

i agree with murders now.
oh when i myspace you back, check my blog.

Does anybody know if the book can be found with the original cover?
----Dark grin, I can't help, when I'm happy I look insane----
But woohoo! Aren't I a lucky gal? Girls, you missed out..sorry :P

I read the book, my thoughts are this, Sean Penn did a beautiful job at capturing the book on film!!! As usual the book and movie are two completely different experiences and I don't think one takes from the other at all.
The sound track, some of the best music I have ever heard, Eddie Vedder's voice is amazing, You want to set a mood for a day of insight, positive thinking and the world is great attitude, play this short little sound track and carpe diem.
Carpe Diem
One interpretation of the phrase might be as an existential cautionary term, much like "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die," with emphasis on making the most of current opportunities because life is short and time is fleeting.
I oft dream of riches reveling in my passion about how one could spend such moneys, I come from a meager family how then did I acquire such hungers, is this not an affront to my parents and my wholesome upbringing, I could not see this.
The Chris McCandless story and specifically the song society, has truly changed my life. I no longer yearn for more than I have for I am a lucky man, I have a beautiful family, my spirit and mind are close (which is not always the case), I have much brain food at hand and don’t forget about my wonderful couch.
Why is all this on the Pearl jam forum? You tube Charlie Rose interview with Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder. He put together this sound track in so little time, another person moved by this young mans story.
Eddie Vedder kicks ass
Peace to all
Chuck Bradford
P.S.
Never forget to tell the ones you love, that you love them, death is for certain tomorrow is not.
