Eddie Vedder

Hiking, running, walking, laying, whatever it may be; Eddie Vedder provides that spirit filled melody to accompany you on your adventures. I remember watching “Into the Wild” on Netflix one evening when no one else was in the house. I was maybe an hour or so into the film when my family walked through the door to begin the evening rampage. My brothers returning from baseball practice and my mother yelling at them to remove their shoes and go straight to the tub.

As a rising sophomore in college I have been feeling the urge to move out now more than ever. I want to get out and start living my own independent life. Well, it just so happened that I wasn’t able to continue watching the movie when my family came home. Instead of interrupting my progress, I decided to walk to the nearest Mc Donald’s to finish it up. I bought a cheeseburger and a coke that I mixed whiskey with and got back into it.

The film was great, however, this is not why I decided to write this particular blog. As I left my house to go to the Mc Donald’s I decided to put headphones in and listen to some Eddie Vedder for my walk. His music just seemed to temporarily fulfill that longing to escape from my current reality. Isn’t that what music is all about?
