joy kicks darkness

lord of the rings if it was written by kerouac:

There were some kicks in The Shire but the world was calling and Frodo's offer seemed to stir something almost holy in me. We had a few more drinks then called on Merry and Pippin for a laugh. We were never ones to travel heavy but the extra voices sounded good in the night and by the time the sun was up we'd raided Bag End for all the smoke we could carry and had decided to follow the directions the old man had given us, even though it seemed unlikely he'd ever really join us at the Pony. I tell you all this because what happened after the old man didn't join us is a tale that's too good to tell and you can either believe in it and feel the spirit of what were beating out of the countryside with every footfall or disregard it as an entertaining bit of fiction. Either way, it's my tale to tale and that's the way it started that summer.

crazy,man.
