My favorite musical is the Pirates of Penzance - Perhaps it's because I saw it such a young age. Maybe it's because it was one of the first movies we had on VHS so we could watch it over and over again. Whatever the reason, I want to be a pirate king.
I used to believe that I could accurately mimic an entire orchestra with the sounds from my mouth. I spent quite a while of my childhood running around the yard while convinced that I was recreating the soundtrack of Indiana Jones or Star Wars. Strangely, I caught myself doing it again just last week when I was walking around my yard.
The guy in the mirror looks nothing like the guy in my head. One thing that bothered me about the Matrix movie was that the people in the Matrix looked like their physical bodies even though Morpheus explains that the Matrix is a projection of what people think they look like. If I were Neo in the Matrix, well, I guess that I would look like Keanu Reeves too.
I am not a morning person. I much prefer to stay up late and wake up late. It has been this way for me since I worked third shift at college. I stay forcefully energetic in the mornings as a way to keep myself from just dragging through the day.
I don't like being next to ledges and railings because I kind of want to throw myself over them and see if I can stick a superhero landing. Granted, this urge has decreased over time. However, glass balconies are a double threat to me because I also continually suppress a desire to jump through glass like an action hero. … I have to have similar mental arguments to keep myself from pulling fire alarms (something that I have also not yet done).
In a similar vein, I am nearly convinced that my mind has locked away the ability for me to levitate and fly. I occasionally have hyper-realistic dreams with me doing just that. It involves pushing down with my arms while in a mental state that recognizes the energy forces surrounding us. Thankfully, I tend to stay away from ledges and railings.
Well, I think that I've worried enough people for the moment. I should probably get back to staring at this PowerPoint.
