Chasing Roller Coasters

I’ve said it before; I don’t like amusement parks. It’s only now, at 33 years old, that I understand why.

A roller coaster is artificial excitement. It’s completely safe and you know it. It’s why we get on them.

We want excitement…as long as it’s safe.

My life is an adventure. I’ve been skateboarding for 23 years. I lived in Kaua’i and took chances in the middle of God’s creation. I climb mountains. I planted churches. I’m blazing trails literally where no one has gone before. I married an amazing woman and have two kids and we go on these adventures together.

My life is full of excitement…and it’s not safe.

I have scars, physical, emotional and mental. I have titanium parts in my body. I have memories that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I have friends and people in my life that are priceless.

Why would I pay 60 bucks to wait in line for hours for a few seconds of excitement?

Sounds boring to me.
