They say all we have to fear is fear itself.
But thats a lie, there's clowns, and needles, and heights, and one of my personal biggies, roller coasters. Lots of people like them, heck people pay lots of money to go on them when they are usually just 60 seconds of sheer terror. I have always found them horrifying, even as a small child I didn't even like the little roller coaster on out local FairyTale Town.
For me though it was never the actual height or the speed of them, it was feeling I got when I went on them.
Some people are adrenaline junkies, they crave that rush, the pressure in your chest as adrenaline floods your blood stream, and the euphoric lightness of being as your limbs become tingly as the euphoria melts away, that feeling; that some say is the closest they've ever felt to god, I've always hated it. It creeps me out, I feel as though I am having a heart attack, or dying or some other even more horrid inconceivable thing is happening. To me that feeling is the worst thing in the world.

When I graduated from high school, I moved from the security of my Sacramento suburban home, to the great city of Chicago. Chicago has given me some great opportunities, friends and experiences that I interpret here on my blog. It gives others a look into the way I think, and experience life. My blog is a peek at my mindmap, or spidergram if you will.
I'm trying to think of anything adrenaline flooding that we've ever done together... And nothings coming up. Its interesting to me to see how people can either love or hate different stimulation. Such as the adrenaline rush from a roller coaster. Interesting.
