Things I haven't seen in SL and why not? LOL

I was talking to a gifted writer earlier today and they related that SL is important to them bc their upbringing was filled with love and tenderness but a bit lacking in adventure. Having the love is paramount but you can not sell youthful adventure short. I, on the other hand, had our family's variation of love. Yeah, it was love. Mostly, as I progressed through the teens and early adulthood, I opted for adventure and ultimately minimal accountability.

Some things I did or happened to me whilst I was a free agent. This list is not all inclusive and hopefully is generally humorous...

Weirdest artistic variation: Years ago, my sister and I saw a performance artist expel canned yams from her cavity. Thank heavens we were not in the front row. To this day, I can't remember if I was laughing or screaming during this "performance". BTW, the yams were still not in the can!!

Gnarliest/Most deranged physical risk taking (multiple occasions: I lived in Hawaii for a bit short of three years. It was not a period of profound personal growth, if you catch my drift. Not a lot to do on the North Shore, so you work at night and recreate during daylight. Once I became acclimated to the speed and power of the surf I took some, in hindsight, ridiculously foolish chances with this life. Surfed big winter waves high on acid about twenty times. It was incredible, I was told I was "on". Years later my aforementioned sister had a psychic reading and was told that our deceased oldest sister served as my guardian angel. When I connect with her I owe her a major apology.

Most terrified: Early adulthood, at least chronologically. Was way down in Mexico near the border of Guatemala. Was at a checkpoint heading to a nearby rivermouth for some waves and some cheap fish for dinner. Ran into an ill-tempered crew of Federales that I imagine had been drinking the better part of the day. Ordered out of our vechicle, at gunpoint, ushered into a adjacent cantina. Wrong place, wrong time scenario in full effect. During the course of our encounter I had a M-16 leveled directly at my chest with a glaring drunk Federale sweaty finger on the trigger. Seemed like the encounter lasted forever, money was exchanged, cerveza was provided for the local law enforcement crew and we were excused. Still remmeber the feel of that same sweaty paw patting the top of my head like I was four years old and the burst of hysterical laughter that came from the cantina as we hurriedly entered the landcruiser to get the fuck out of there! Silent ride to the rivermouth. Upon arrival there, I just got out and walked down the beach about 300 yards and sat down and cried. Sometimes you can come close to a wild time being your last time. Thank you big sis in another world. Ok, this one should really not be available in SL or at last should come with a waiver and counseling.

SL is full of surprises also too! I never imagined the feminine side of Borday.:) I do relate to Crighton differently when Aeryn is in the house. It's true! The good thing about SL is that it is not life and death and it far more controllable. Escape, if needed, is just a click away. To me, IMHO, RL still has a jolt that SL does not. Life is full of trade offs, y'know?

I don't think I'd want my kids to experience these harrowing occurances in anything but SL. I don't know what else to say. Going back to that memory still rattles me...... This blog is done guys...
