What is a fantasy? A fantasy (dictionary.com) is "imagination, esp. when extravagant and unrestrained". Thats pretty much what I was thinking, something so unrealistic it seems almost impossible to accomplish.
This man has a fantasy, a fantasy of having the woman of his dreams with him. Unfortunately, that is not the case, so he has rejected reality and substituted his own-(Mythbusters.)
Take a close look at your daily life. Do you notice yourself doing this? Once you carefully examine your thoughts and actions during the day, you will realize that you too do not accept life the way it is, but change it to satisfy yourself.
I try to accept things the way the come to me, taking them head-on, not avoiding the inevitable. I try to do this, but try implies failure. I do not like to fail, but trying to not fail is comparable to playing with fire and not getting burned, the longer you try, the higher chance you have of failing.
Back to what a dream is. I had a dream. I wanted to be a urban ninja. I know, what a weird dream, but I find myself thinking things are cool when not everyone does them. Not very many people, ok noone, I know is an urban ninja. That is what motivated me to become one. But, after about ten minutes of training, I decided I couldnt achieve it. That is a lot better than spending years trying to accomplish the impossible.
By reading what I typed in the previous paragrah, you can assume a lot about me. I've told you what I find cool, which can tell a lot about a person. Now for what I dislike. "Clicks" or whatever they call them, not only the idea of clicks, but the people who feel they need to categorize people.
Over popular things. Myspace is a perfect example, almost everyone I know, except for a few choice people, have a myspace. The concept of myspace is great, but I refuse to join the boat of people making a poorly structured webpage.
Spending extra money where it doesnt have to be spent. I buy clothes just like everyone else, but I dont buy clothes that cost many times more than they need to. A t-shirt at costco costs about $9.oo, a t-shirt at a designer store costs about 2-5 times as much, for something so similar that most people could not tell the difference, unless they took a close look. I buy jeans from Ross, they cost about $12.oo a pair, when I'm at the mall I see signs in stores that they have jeans on sale for $25.99. Maybe it is because they are the profesionally ripped, or weathered jeans.
Those are a few things I dislike. I'll post a more indepth list later.
That should give you a good idea about myself, I've told you what I like, what I dislike, and tried to make you think a bit about why I like and don't like the things I do.
