| The Need For Adventure |
|
As human beings we need food, water, air, and maybe a few other things that are commonly noted. I think we also need adventure. I'm starving for it, but I do remember it:
When I was younger I was transfered around for my job and sometimes when I was in a new town I would get lost on purpose just to see what I would find.
When the Toronto Blue Jays opened their new baseball stadium me and some friends decided at the last minute to go. We had no tickets, no where to stay and no directions. We scalped some tickets, caught the last six innings of the game and then did some sight-seeing before we drove around until we found a motel.
A friend of mine in Pittsburgh was telling me how much he missed his girlfriend in New Jersey. I said, "Screw it! Pack some things and let's go." We did. The girls mom hid us out because her dad was real strict.
After seeing a Hall and Oates concert at an all girls college I got stuck in the dorms past bed check and had to hide in a closet until I could be snuck out.
I was at a bar that was still rather crowded around closing time and I stood up and invited everyone back to my place. By the time I got there my place was rather crowded and the two guys I shared a house with were just shaking their heads.
I had a friend at a large university and he wanted to throw a party. I called every sororiety on campus and invited them. Needless to say, none of them showed, but it was still fun.
There were a lot more but you get the idea. I miss those days and I am determined to find them again. My idea, if I am ever single again, is to take out an ad looking for a woman who wants to go on an unplanned trip with someone they do not even know (me). It's either that or skydiving.
