Adrenaline
April 6, 2008 | 5:34 amHave you ever felt the *NEED* and the *WANT* for an adrenaline rush ? If so, what do you do satisfy that desire ? I am really interested in what you have to say.
As for me, i usually try to satisfy that by playing a contact sport, or going to a relatively empty highway and driving fast (hopefully without getting a speeding ticket). Unfortunately, due to the “nice” weather i’ve been seeing here so far, my first option is virtually impossible. On top of that, since i relocated, the only “highways” near me are one-lane streets that make their way through woods, and i *really* don’t want to risk hitting a deer (thus rendering my car virtually useless).
Argh, the only excitement i’ve been exhibiting lately is either by writing an exquisite piece of code (sad, i know), or by making some nice progress on my research. Ahhh, that could be considered pathetic. So there is some excitement, i am working on a nice little interface enhancement for blog aggregators like qwaider planet, as well as another really exciting web application. But still, an extra boost of adrenaline couldn’t hurt (at least i think so).

On April 6, 2008 | 6:24 amI get hyped up by driving on the hwy. and getting tickets didn’t make me stop. it just made the occasional over speeding a lot more fun….
I get hyped up driving downtown on Yonge St. at night…every time is like the first time to me

On April 7, 2008 | 8:28 pmJasim: Yeah, speeding seems like the common way to get a jolt of adrenaline in this modern urban age. Although, it is a bit harder for me to speed in the city.
Dandoon: Hmm … just don’t risk it and jump at the train when it approaches … i think that’s way too much adrenaline
Qwaider: Yeah, i will definitely contact you once the code is done. Unfortunately the progress is slow since i am swamped with school stuff now.
Sharifo: I agree, i bet that most Palestinians (specially Gazans) back in Palestine do not share this craving for adrenaline since they get plenty of it on a daily basis. Luckily, back in Ramallah we didn’t get nearly as much “bad adrenaline” as you in Gaza.
Jad: wow … that’s extreme

On June 3, 2008 | 2:06 pmEven though I am a programmer I never actually get a programmer’s rush LOL! As you can see I am nonchalant enough to not host and design my own blog
So good thing for you!

On June 3, 2008 | 2:24 pmOla: hmm .. that might solution.
KJ: Ahhh .. i haven’t had that rush in a month
.. i have been extremely lazy for the past month .. so i hope my momentum picks up 
.. as for the blog .. i really did nothing other than set up wordpress .. i used somebody else’s theme with very very minor modifications.
As for skydiving … thanks but i am honestly too scared to ever do that
