Adventure!

Jan 18, 2009 11:34

I think what is missing from most people's lives, including my own to some extent, is adventure. Who doesn't love a good adventure? Okay, Old Lady Naffsinger down the street doesn't seem to love adventure, but she's an old biddy anyways! But everyone else...? I'm talking adventure, excitement, and a slight case of danger, folks! I won't speak for others, but I dearly love it! The thrills, the chills, the senses shattering fun!

...and yet, we as a species, especially now, seem to be content to sit at home watching tv or something on the internet to fill the void of adventures we ourselves could have. I do not accept the excuse that it costs money to do thrill-seeking excursions. Last time I checked I paid nothing to climb a tree or take a walk.

I know it's a tired saying about the road less traveled, but will it really hurt you to find out what's down that lonely road? This could be your only time on this planet. Are you content to live in mediocrity? Are you happy with the doldrums of everyday life? If you are, I'm happy for you. If not? Why don't you do something about it? Nothing is stopping you. As a society are we that scared of randomness, the chaos of not knowing what the next day might hold, unless it is planned out? Are we so settled in the straight path, that the winding one is unthinkable?

Fuck! I sound like a car commercial! Well, are you going to enjoy the luxury of neutral in your rich corinthian leather bucket seat, or are you going to enjoying nitro-burning, tire-screeching, fuel-injected, no-fucking-brakes-on-a-slippery-road-without-a-god-damned-license fun?
