The Hobbit

I've being reading lately... yeap... from time to time i like to read... u'll find it funny if i tell u i've being reading a book i've already read two times before.... i can't help it! i just love J.R.R Tolkien and i've being reading again "The Hobbit"(and i'm reading it in spanish... sorry for those who don't like translations...). Ok, i'm reading a children book... yeah! and i like it! who cares what they think? Ok... the point is that the book has given me this time new things to think... and thus to write.

I guess most of those reading this should know a little bit of the story... if not.. here's a short summary of the plot: The story is about this hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who as most Bagginses like to be at home and not to have any adventure. However he has some genes of other big hobbit family called the Tuk.. who enjoy having a little adventure from time to time... This hobit is encouraged by the well-known wizard, Gandalf the Gray, to go in an adventur with thirteen dwarfs that are going to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their treasure from the dragon Smaug, but are affraid of making the expedition alone cause they are 13 and the number is of bad luck. Well mostly that where i can get without any spoilers...

Well, i'm thinking.. what if I'm Bilbo? (Well i guess that for http://www.chriswetherell.com/hobbit/Default.asp i'm more like: Fastolph Trample of Woody End, but i guess u get my point) What if i'm just too emotionally bounded to my house and my stuff and i'm not wanting to take the risk to go outside and see what the world's got to offer? What if i'm loosing a 14th of an enormous treasure? what if have no Gandalf in my life to encourage me, and i have to encourage myself and be my own Gandalf? yeah i'm getting existencialist over a children book... any problem with that?

Well... if i am... i don't know what to do.... i guess i'll get stucked waiting for this incredible adventure to show up and give me the chance to take it.... after all it took Bilbo several years to take his... maybe he wasn't ready b4.... maybe i'm not ready yet... maybe it will come... after all i guess i'll wait here... in front of my pc as always.... wainting... with the patience of a hobbit... as i'm inside myself... small to these world... small to what happens around me.
