Hello, and thank you for taking time to read my very first post.
The name's Nick and I love making stuff up as I go along just for fun, for example, I recently had an idea about a silly little story which basically involves anything that popped up in my mind while writting it and I always wanted to share it with other people for a number of reasons, mainly to hear opinions, but more of that another time, this is about who I am and what I do with my life.
Let's start with the basics, shall we?
This is how I look like (it's the worst smile ever... I know XD)
Now that you have a small glimpse of my "disgusting" image, let's share some more info, yes? Besides, one have nothing to fear if they have nothing to hide, or so I've heard... anyway, my favourite thing to spend time with is, by far I might add since it's literally half my life, sea-scouts.
Some may say "that's pretty lame" and I understand that, everyone is allowed an opinion after all and most people that think otherwise have spent more than a decade with the damn thing to begin with, just like I have, I've been a sea-scout for about 12 years now and yes, there will be a time when I will stop being an active member, but there are several things I want to do before hanging my scarf and letting the next gen take over, it's something that I simply can't just stop right now, I've been through so much as a sea-scout, climbed mountains, sailed seas, even had a couple of near-death experiences, but what's life withought a little risk, right? There's even an inside joke between me and my friends that I hear every year, just as christmas time approaches they start telling me "I will never understand your logic man, while we're all excited about spending time with our families and girlfriends/boyfriends, you are excited about spending 3 days on an icy mountain top or a snowy mountain side" and of course it always make me laugh, because when you go through hardship of mountain and sea and ending up not even feeling the need to wear a damn jacket during December, you know you're in a whole new level
Coming up next on my list of favourites is, of course, Judo.
Having spent 5+ years of training, I'm currently a blue-belt on the way to brown belt, thankfully I never broke anything during all those years, but I haven't competed in an official match yet either, that however is about to change after this September since all the paperwork I sent FINALLY got approved, so until the time comes when someone will probably beat me senseless, I have some other things to take care of, for example: find a more efficient way to deal with quick and agile opponents, in other words, my female partner (who will remain anonymous as she requested) that's giving me hell every time we spar, to be honest there's no reason to be ashamed in having trouble facing her, we both started our training at the same time and know very well that, since she is almost half my size, if a make one wrong move I will never know how i ended up lying to the ground, but if she fails to break my balance and i get a hold of her... well it's pretty much over. To us, it's a classic battle of strength vs agility, we respect one another by never holding back when facing each other and so far she has the bragging rights of most victories, because god save me every time I get on my knees while sparing with her, but hey... it's all about having fun in the end
Last but not least, I like just sitting back, relaxing and... just imagine things, you know, making up stuff, just like I said at the beggining, maybe a little story, or a poem, or something that is complete nonsense, it doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it is unusual, let me give you a taste.
Imagine yourselves, resting on a small hill covered by grass, nothing too much or too complicated, just you, a hill and clouds of all shapes and sizes of your preferance, suddenly one of the clouds takes the shape of a butterfly, you reach out your hand towards the sky to reach it, then the cloud starts shrinking and moving towards you, as it reaches your hand, it makes a small flick of its wings to remove the cloud and reveal an actual butterfly now sitting on your index finger, its weight is so small you can barely feel it, then it does another flick and you realize you can barely feel the ground beneath you. Now you're floating, you're just as light as a butterfly, let the wind carry you high in to the sky, just you and your butterfly companion, take a look around you, from up there you can see everything, as far as the eye can see, two massive mountain lines stretching all the way to the horizon, a forest covers everything around the mountains and at the highest peak, a humble eagle circles around its nest, teaching its newborns how to fly and make the sky theirs, at closer inspection of the forest you spot a clearing, inside it lies a small waterfall that fills a small lake and a deer appears out of the woods to quench its thirst, from that lake the river continues under the trees and throught the forest, as you follow its course with your sight, you turn around and see the other side, large crop fields cover the land like giant blankets of random colours and in the distance, the massive ocean stretches until the horizon makes it one with the sky, at the coast line you can see a small city, its red rooftops creating a small dance between ceramic red and ocean blue, after a while you notice that the city also has a port and just outside it, tiny sailboats are going back and forth with the waves, before they enter the port and let new ones take their place, suddenly strong wind currents carry you away, to the mountains, then they seperate you from your butterfly friend, who seems to deal with the wind just fine, it's used to it after all, but not you, your normal weight returns and you start falling, faster and faster as you see the rocky mountain side coming closer with every second, but will you crash or will you float again?
That, my dear friends, is up for you to decide, simply because this is your imagination, I was merely a guide to this whole thing, your mind holds an entire world of your own, just for you and anything you allow to exist in it, just be careful not to get lost in it, because your place is in the real world and while you may add your friends and family in your world, you may accidentally remove yourself from the real world, and when you have everyone's company, no one will have yours.
Our world, at the end of the day, is just that, a happy thought, right it down somewhere and it'll be here with you... and so are we, for a little while at least.
Thanks for being with me for a little while as well, next time you'll see a post from me turn on your fantasy detectors because I'll be taking you through a crazy ride of a story about dimensions, war and, of course, a little love.
Have a nice day
