If you know me personally you know I’m a huge Jack Kerouac fan, I’ve been reading his amazing prose since my junior year of college at Marywood; just about everything from On The Road to Good Blonde and Lonesome Traveler.
My parents just bought me The Town And The City for Christmas; I’m really looking forward to diving into it soon. From what I’ve read about it so far it’s him finding his real literary voice and tone.
His works have had a really profound impact on my life; my point of view, take on life, excitement for what some would call “commonplace things” and my zest for travel and discovery.
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!”
I love that quote to death, so I got really excited to see that Google is using it as a springboard into their Search Stories campaign.
This is really good stuff, check it out…

Not really grasping what Search Stories is… what's it about?
