The Movie Moments

Many guys are in this game for different reasons. Some want to add hundreds of notches to their bedpost...some want to find their dream girl. Some just think it's cool and want to have the "power"...and some simply have no answer. I've fallen into all these categories at one point or another in the quest to see what truly drives me and why I'm in this game.

My answer? Because I want the movie moments. I want the adventure of the unknown and to have my life something that someone could write a book about or make a movie on. I crave the moments where I think "OMG is this REALLY happening...this is incredible". Even when things go bad and I think "OMG is this REALLY happening...this is horrible" it still is an experience that adds to the movie of my life. That's my one big comfort no matter how bad things get....the bad just makes the good that much better.

I look where I came from, a guy who stayed in every weekend playing Magic the Gathering by himself, to where I am now and it's INSANE! My reality has been shattered countlessly and I love it.

Just recently I was in Atlanta at an upscale hotel party swimming in a pool with 4 gorgeous girls chasing me around and was staying in the hotel room with one of them. The entire party I could see the jealousy in every guy's eyes and was being checked out by every girl...some creepy guys even filmed me in awe. I remember a moment where I looked around seeing the beautiful buildings lit up and where I was and thought "OMG...THIS is my life". For many guys nights like that happen a few times in a lifetime if ever. However I've already had countless experiences like this. Here's an exerpt from a recent LR.

So we're walking along the docks and I see this green thing floating in the water...I tell her I have a crazy idea and untie one side and pull the green floating thing in with the other. It turns out it was a floating mini golf course! I hop on, and with some convincing, get her to come on and then push ourselves off onto the water with our makeshift raft, only having a thin rope keeping us tied to the dock We start looking at stars and just lying there and then begin to make out hardcore and go at it...definately a moment where you think "damn is this really happening?"

These kind of movie moments don't always have to centered around women though. Traveling is huge and something I plan to spend a lot of my life doing. Also trying new things to develop a lifestyle gives you these moments.

The point is I see so many of my friends who are stuck in the same patterns and do nothing for themselves. There idea of adventure is going out to get drunk. When they get together they retell the same stories over and over back from highschool because nothing exciting has really happened since.

However you need to go out and make these moments happen. You need to take risks and be willing to have the bad moments. Do you want to look back at your life and remember all the crazy things you've done and have stories that many wouldn't even believe...or do you want to feel regret for wasting the time you had?

I know my reason for being in this game, do you?
