I think it's only fair that I talk about something a little bit meaningful. Daydreaming. Oh yeah, call CNN, we've got some serious stuff here. haha. So, maybe I'm just ADD or something but I often find myself in my own little world, usually determined by the music that's playing through my headphones. But isn't it kind of nice? To be able to create your own reality around yourself, that's yours and yours alone. If you don't like something about it, just change it. I think that having a good imagination is something that cannot have a price put on it. Who doesn't love to imagine? Who doesn't wish they could fly? Who doesn't wish they swim deep in the ocean without coming up for air? Who doesn't want to live in a perfect world? Well, the fact is, we don't live in a perfect world. So, why not have your own little world to escape to? Food for thought.
So I was watching a horror movie last night and it hit me, why do people get so much enjoyment out of being scared? I enjoy being scared. Well, okay, let me rephrase...I enjoy the adrenaline rush. I don't enjoy the bone-crippling, gut-wrenching, angst that accompanies the trips to the doctors office. [In case you didn't know, my biggest fear is the fear of needles. Oh yeah. Big time. I'm talking shaking, sweating; the whole she-bang.] Anyway, I love that adrenaline rush. Like, I hate heights, but I love going on amusement park rides that drop you straight out of the air 400 feet towards your impending doom, then screech to a perfectly timed stop right before you meet your untimely demise. I think that if this world didn't have fear, life wouldn't be exciting. If you weren't afraid of the dark as a child, you would have had an uneventful childhood full of sound sleep and pleasant dreams. I guess I'm weird but if I ever have a nightmare or something, when I wake up, no matter how ridiculous the dream, I turn it into a simulation. Running through my head what I would actually do if that situation occurred. I'm not saying run out and rent every slasher flick you can get your adrenaline-junkie hands on. I'm just saying, next time someone jumps out from behind a corner and yells BOO! scaring you out of your wits...just take a minute to realize how much more exciting your last 5 minutes was because of it. Then, if need be, give the scare-er what the scare-er deserves.
