I occasionally feel an overwhelming urge to get into a fight. A real fight.
If I get involved in an altercation with an other driver a part of me hopes he will get out of his car to escalate things thereby giving me an excuse to go berserk.
I don’t even care if I “win”. At my age I probably wouldn’t. I just want the release.
Release of what?
Not sure. But whatever it is it’s the same urge that is behind my nostalgia for getting blind drunk…
I suspect it has been too long since I climbed a mountain.
This made me laugh out loud!
I am really enjoying your current posts. Not that I didn’t enjoy previous posts but, perhaps in common with my own place of mind, I am preferring contact with the ‘marrow’ of life rather than the intellect.

That is interesting. I’ve dabbled in martial arts most of my life, still in tai chi practice. Wanting to fight is aways an undercurrent, but tempereed by a ‘let them initate – then respond’mindset. Evntually you chill to level that stops primary reaction.

Yeah it’s my kicking its toys out of the pram because life doesn’t always turn out the way it thinks it should.

I’d like to get angry. Let loose. Thankfully it doesn’t happen often. Instead I let loose a stream of F&$!s – then I hide & isolate myself from everyone.

I once wrote a blog post years ago whose content was “Fuck, fuckity fuck fuck. Thanks that feels better”. It was picked up and reblogged by Loic Le Meur (who had a huge following at the time) and the result was that I was the No.1 “fuck” on Google for about 24hrs!
