sudden urge

[scaredyclassic]

for the record, we went to see a place today, I loved it, it’s theoretically fine, my wife didn’t get the right vibe. I am not permitted to make an offer. so it goes…

[scaredyclassic]

i see many listing for mcmansion at $80 sq ft in murrieta. they look like theya re going for more than 50% off peak. but if prices in san diego come down, won’t these come down too? my view is, interest rates spike suddenly sometime in the next 36 months, prices come down. and it doens’t matter at all whether buy now or then, the payment will be around the saem. so we might as well just keep looking for a place where she gets the right vibe.

urge to move to alaska has faded. i just want to stay here.

Glad to hear you’re going to continue gracing us with your presence here in So Cal. BTW, I agree with TG. When I look in the areas that have already dropped ~50%, I feel exceedingly envious. We just can’t get over the commuting issue in order to buy “out there” (lots of places qualify).

Anyway, fear is good. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. 😉

That is the point!!!! The odds are in favor of you surviving but the odds of you being crippled with fear for the rest of your life are 100% if you don’t. You don’t have to do it regularly, just do it once.

Most great people can point to a pivotal point in their life where they overcame fear or overcame insurmountable odds, skydiving is relatively safe but will create a scenario for you to man up.

I did it a number of times, I’m still here, I consider it medicine for certain ailments. Okay, story time. A little more than 20 years ago I’m hanging around my fraternity house and someone suggests it. I succumbed to suggestions of vegas trips, Mexico jaunts, nude runs, you name it, I usually said “I’m in.” But I was scared to skydive. I wasn’t an entirely confident young man, still strugled with talking to people sometimes, especially women. So I go along, maybe 4 of us went the first time, we weren’t the “facemen” of the house, probably could be considered the dorkier guys. We survived, we walked into the party that night and we were like rock stars. We didn’t even mention it but people noticed a glow about us. Not one of acted shy, not one of us woke up alone the next morning. Once the statistical anamoly was revealed, others wanted to go on the morning of the next big party, and even though the group that next time was somewhere around 8-10, the same results occurred. It cost about $100 back then so it was reserved for special occasions, maybe it was all in our heads, but it worked and it’s stuck with me more than 20 years later, in more ways than just having the gumption to hit on the hot chick at the party.

Maybe it’s money, maybe it’s rejection, maybe it’s failure, but whatever you afraid of, cheating death for a few minutes will give you a new perspective, make you see that no matter what, you made it, the rest is just gravy. You could always survive a heart attack, fight in a war, survive a P.O.W camp, complete an iron man or a marathon, save a life, there are lots of things you can do, but that is the one I know of where you can make an appointment and be home for dinner.
