Sometimes, as I walk on my way between where I was and where I'm going, I become inexplicably afraid of falling. For some reason unbeknownst to me, I anticipate a malfunction in my foot, and I can see it tucking behind its counterpart, ceasing their forward progress. My upper half, however, is unaware of the critical meltdown in functions below

Since I started taking a martial arts class I have really enjoyed falling.

I'm actually sorta hoping that we get to do some of that stuff in my class too. I think I could enjoy great benefits from knowing how to fall properly.

no offense, but this sounds a little pathological.

[katryxx]

I'm not ashamed to say that I have my moments!

I fall down a lot.

It hurts most of the time.

[katryxx]

Yes, but boys seem to have this resilient quality. Maybe it's testosterone, maybe it's machismo, maybe it's just plain stupidity. But boys will keep on getting up and doing it again, for some reason. Part of me really admires it, and part of me knows I couldn't do it quite the same.

I break as easily as, if not easier than, most people but if I were to stop I would have the time to reflect on my lack of accomplishment and the futility of not surrendering myself to a life of sandpaper masturbation.

My mom fell like this the other day, no hands to break her fall. Right on her face because of a puddle of water in the slick garage. Because it also happened to me last summer, we related the stories of how the thud is felt in your face and nose for weeks. Neither the fall or the impact is anything like a "moment of release."

You could always jump out of a plane.

Hmm, the plane thing sounds like a good idea. With a nice parachute strapped on, too. Nothing like reality to kill the idealism, eh?

Want to go skydiving with me? I've wanted to do this for ages.
