Ride Warrior

I was thinking the other day about the ups and downs of life. I was trying to remember my downs. You know those times in your life when you feel like you're on that part of the amusement park ride falling just because you decided to get on this ridiculous ride thinking it'd be fun. And if you're like me you try one of two things, number one; ignore it and suffer through til it's over. This usually goes like this; close your eyes and try to go numb. When the ride is over you will have a headache. Or number two; enjoying the thrill of danger which makes absolutely no sense. Your bodies system are telling you fight, flight, or pray- loudly and audibly. You keep your eyes open, your stomach tight, scream, and raise your hands like the rest of the fools on the ride who needs danger to feel alive and prove how tough or cool they are.

And so I've done both in my life. I've keep every thing bottled up in my times of despair and pain in a macho kind of way, and I've been vulnerable and open explaining my heartache to anyone who seems like they have a shred of a heart in their tin shell. Quite honestly, I don't like either of these two extremes. I'm not much for looking like a punk, because I really don't know that person. Dad raised a son "tougher than pig iron." But I don't like to stand alone either. So what's the happy medium? Well, I quess it would be to find a solid friend or two and stick with the Friend "that sticks closer that a brother."
