Things that creep me out sometimes

Nov 01, 2009 23:15

Watching a movie with some friends, there was a reference to exhaling slowly then pulling the trigger. The characters were practicing shooting, and one was a novice shooter. I explained to my friends who were also watching the movie how there is a natural pause in breathing after exhaling which is the optimum time to squeeze the trigger because you have a natural stillness during that pause in breathing. I then recoiled slightly, at how naturally that explanation flowed out of me, and how that explanation flowed out of me as if what I had said is common knowledge.
There are times that I subconsciously forget that I was in the army. There are things I know which are almost reflexive. At times, I don't even question how reflexive and natural this knowledge seems to me. That creeps me out. It creeps me way out.
I don't know why... but it does.
