Getting Away With It All…

The song is fantastic but the 20 second intro has made me think about what thrills me.

Fear! It’s like a good burger I guess. Hundreds of versions delivered by a million different sources.

When I rode bikes it was what’s past the next turn, I wonder how far I can lean this thing before I start scraping pegs or parts, how fast will this thing go? 162 mph was my max btw. Fear? Didn’t have time to think of it. Things happen really fast at speed, when you can only focus on what is directly in front of you… you know you’re hauling the mail. lol

Now the bikes are gone, kayaking is the next ex hobby I guess. As far as thrills and being a creator of fear, it rises far above anything I’ve ever gotten myself into. I rode bikes for hours to hit a good turn and get a 2 second rush. I’ve kayaked for 3 or 4 hours and returned with 20 minutes worth of oh wows. And it all happens going all of 5 to 8 knots. Pretty cool huh.

“Fear’s a man’s best friend.” Absolutely it is. It brings out who you really are. Sometimes you run from it, sometimes you attack it. But the best is when you face it and draw the line knowing it will not beat you.

I still have a few of those lines to draw myself.
