While I was looking around my room a few things caught my eye I noticed a few things, my towel slumped over it self like a crippled old man who has had a very long day. My broken TV old and uninstalled sit it self on top of my dresser that holds more dirty clothes than clean ones. My closet with disappointed hangers do the lack of clothes actually hanging. The trash bin standing in the corner surprisingly more kept together than most things in my room. But the pride of my room just so happens to not even be in my room, it actually the beautiful view out the window, with the broken blinds. Once you get past all the ugly distractions in front  the scene you get a glimpse of is one to behold.

Living Cather Hall is an unique experience do to the communal living and the close proximity to your fellow room mates. Which means you also have to share very tight restroom and bathing areas. I can remember the last time I took a shower having a very long and quite comical conversation with myself. As I looked down at my showers shoes, which make me chuckle every time I see them, I start to think why exactly we need them. The chance you could get sick from the bactira from everyone who uses them before is what I was always told, but I thought to myself what if that was not the case? What if the reason we have to protect our feet from hitting the bottom of the shower floors was do to there being chemical that seep out from the drains. Something similar to what the “Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles” encountered. The result of the contact with it could be the reverse turning us humans into Old age Mutant Samurai People.

Last night my parents left  UNL and leaving me here to fend for myself in this new surroundings. It is a ten hour drive from here back to Dallas one we have made once before. I am confident in my dads driving abilities, but with at drive that long I had to be somewhat concerned. I simulated what I think the drive would be like in my head over and over. Nebraska to Dallas is a trip headed south and in a car you will spend some time driving in every state in between. After you leave Nebraska you will hit Kansas, next you will enter Oklahoma, and lastly Texas then smooth sailing to Dallas. That’s the plan I knew I will give them a call as soon as I woke up.

My favorite class in high school was definetly football, since I lived in Texas the sport was considered a class you were graded on. You did not get things like standard test but you were graded on how hard you worked. Performance was not grade able either because for those who did not play might have worked harder than those who are playing, but just not as talented.

            The most recent argument I had with a friend that got really heated really fast was over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. They tried to discredit all of our success as an organization. People simply do not like you if you win and that is what told him. His side was every time we win there is always an asterisk, meaning there was always a rule broken or bent.

            Right now I am thinking that this work is very, very time consuming and as soon as I get it done I have another class to start on. My spelling is terrible and saying my grammar needs work is a huge understatement. Now being in college the little things that used to get passed up in high school wont fly.

            When I think of home I imagine my high school football locker room surrounded by all my old teammates from all past years. Our head coach is giving us one of his famous old school country pre-game speeches. We laugh insanely hard and got out a play an amazing game of football. What team are we playing?  Is  it a home or away game? The game was amazing but did we win?

How would the world be different if fear did not play such a big role in our lives and our community? After listening to “Invisabelia’s Fearless” the first thing I noticed as the story progressed was, I was totally fooled by the title. “Fearless” at first look it kind of sound like it would be a motivational piece but to my surprise it was totally blinding. After reading the article I did find some thing very interesting, the story about the lady born not being able to feel fear. Her brain can literally not feel fear, which is crazy to think about. Not being able to be scared seems like a recipe for failure, but she has survived it states that she does have common sense, but in my head being scared of something causes you to avoid it, avoiding it keeps you safe. that process seems like common sense so it shocks me she is still alive.

The question “How would the world be different if fear did not play a big role in our lives and our community?” is one that came to me reading the article. Imagining a world with no fear to me seems like it would lead to a world that lacks respect. A lot of people combined fearing something and respecting it, world leaders like Kin Jong Un ruler of North Korea is very respected simply through fear. Although the respect you get from fear is only there as long as you are in control it still very much exist. Growing up in my parent household they raised us in fear of being whooped for making the wrong decisions. By doing that my siblings and I were more cautious at a young age, respecting other and things better than most of our peers.

            One thing is for sure that society has changed over time do to fear kids have less freedom do to concerned parents seeing stories on the news about abductions and petrifies on the streets. They aren’t willing to put their kids a risk so they restrict and have tight leash. People walking around with more and more concealed weapons in fear of being mugged or assaulted. The families that only have one parent working three jobs in fear of loosing shelter for their kids.

                                 

            I feel this question could be answered by so many different people give a wide variety of answers, ranging from pure and complete peace across the world or true and utter chaos though out the globe. With such a wide area of responses this question is perfect to get people minds working trying to put themselves in a mental simulation of a world where fear is none existent. My only concern is that the one trying to answer the question wont be able to get a vivid picture of what their reality would be like with no fear, leaving them unable to provide a answer the truly believe.
