Crazy Upgrade

[Blixt]

The day before I moved out of the country, I went on the highest hill on the golf course, and streaked my way home. Now, I am a relatively docile person, (no drugs, nor alcohol, etc), so I believe that this was a major step up for me. Though I didn't get plastered and knock up the local barmaid, btu I believe I had major stones doing this.

What has been your "crazy upgrade", or your hidden urge to do?

I've always had a hidden urge to run over the elderly on the sidewalk...But that won't happen.

You scare me.

Crazy Upgrade: I am an extremely unsocial person, but after working at a restaurant for 2 years and Wal-Mart for a year and a half, I am now much more comfortable to talk to people.

Hidden Urge: Ask a girl to a date. Evey time I try, I seem to be denied, and I loose some of the courage to ask others.

I thought saying 'have a Jell-O shot' was weird, but...wow.

I once had amazing sex with a girl in a river in the middle of a rainforest in Malaysia the same night I met her, then we walked home naked and I never saw her again. I think that's about the most adventurous thing like that I've done. It was an amazing experience and I wouldn't call it casual because it was passionate and it did mean something, but the fact it was one night only made it kind of special for me, and not just in a "yeh, I totally just did that!" kind of way.

Hey...Over the past year I've had a hate for slow driving Elderly people. And slow walking seems to be the same for me. Except Polish drivers...they are fast and usually help me avoid speeding tickets while I tailgate them. Heh...Anyways. It's a hidden urge. No more than the other urge to drive off a cliff.

I totally know what you mean! That feeling's awesome.
Although I can't say in quite the same way. Me having a girlfriend and not being able to afford travel and all.

I once sold everything I owned that wouldn't fit in the back of my car and drove over 1,000 miles, with my dog, to interview for a job I wasn't sure I'd get. That wasn't the first or last crazy thing I've done, but it was the one that convinced me there wasn't much standing between me and the things I wanted to achieve but fear. Make fear your ***** and you've got it all.

While that's probably not part of the Litany against Fear, I'm definitely writing that down.

I once jumped out of a moving car that happened to be going roughly 50mph and landed(visiously rolled) without a scratch on me.

To this day I'm still not sure what urge possessed me to do that.

There's a comfort exercise a disgustingly successful person called Tim Ferris advocates;
Lie down in a public place (Bar, Starbucks, Sidewalk) for a ten-count. Best not to talk, but if you must respond to anyone, "I just felt like lying down".

Could you expand on that? That was like the seasoning finale, a huge cliffhanger. It sounds like an amazing success story, had it worked.

Life is a cliffhanger. If you spend your time with one foot hanging out the door, waiting for signs of success, then you'd probably never take a journey like that one.

But if you want to know what happened to me (at least part of it) you can read all about it HERE [http://www.falsegravity.com/?page_id=41]. I'm not sure whether, in the end, it was a success or a failure, but it certainly set me on a life journey and, in no small part, put me on the road to being where I am right now. So that's something.

i agree. free fall all the way, baby!

to whether it was a success or failure: if nothing else, you've learned something new; and as someone who cherishes wisdom and things learned, i would consider any such step an immense success. ask me why i have jumped headfirst into new things, countries, environments. it was all for the same thing: to learn something new. about what? about myself, about the world, about why... but never about how.

You'll look back on that night for the rest of your life, I guarantee it. That's one hell of a story.

Become a god and ravage the world, remaking and reforming the universe around me the way I see fit...

You said this was an UPGRADE

In reality, I'd probably just you know, go out to town as a crazy bachelor
