Fear, it's all in your head. Right?

When i think of my fears the first one that throws itself at me is heights. I am absolutely terrified of heights but at the same time i love them. Weird, I know but fear gives adrenaline and you can't beat a good adrenaline rush. Heights have always terrified me but when i was younger there was very little that could stop me from doing something incredibly stupid involving them because it was just too much fun, i loved the buzz as the fear kicked in. Now i'm less incined to do these stupid things not because of the consequences if something goes wrong but the fact that i simply don't have the energy for it anymore. i can't even bring myself to run unless it's a necessity. I still love the rush and i believe i will never tire of it.
Death is also there. However it's not so much a fear of death itself as a fear of the inconvenience that is running out of time. I'm not ready to die, i've hardly even begun to live my life yet and there is still an unfathomable number of activities i have as of yet failed to attempt. The highest on my list being, without a shadow of doubt, skydiving. I outright refuse to die until I have done this atleast once, which conveniently links back to the fear of heights.
I think the only true fear i have is pain. I don't mean the pathetic pain endured from a cut or staved joint, I am talking about the unimaginable pain felt by someone who has just recieved a number of bullets to the body or who has been mown down by a car at high speed. That is the only concept of dying that scares me, the few seconds of excruciating agony before you finally kick the bucket.

peace out

Blogging

To be perfectly honest at the start of this class I was reluctant to start writing blogs but as it is part of the course I soldiered on. Six months later, here I am and I'm beginning to enjoy myself. The concept of writing my ideas and feelings down for all to see was alien to me and it wasn't exactly enticing. However, after some criticism both counstructive and complimentary on my lecturers part I'm beginning to enjoy posting my views online.
As of yet I have not opened my blog to the public but instead kept it only to within view of my classmates but I think after this class is done I will continue to blog and will get round to adding tags to allow anyone to read them.
After reading a multitude of blogs I am aware I don't quite have a grasp on what a good blog consists of but it's something I will pick up on as I continue to write. Well I'll see how things go.

Peace out
