Thinking...

"Have you ever crossed the road, and looked the wrong way? A car's nearly on you? So what do you do? Something very silly.  You freeze.  Your life doesn't flash before you 'cause you're too scared to think- you just freeze and pull a silly face." - from the movie Snatch, in 2000.
     
      OK, so I know what you're thinking, why put this? Well, I'll tell you:)  So, when I'm bored or just need some inspiration to think or some motivation, I look up quotes.  Sometimes they're funny, sad, quizzical, or from specific movies or people.  For this one I just searched  "movie quotes".  This popped up as one.  I find it interesting because it's true, now that I think about it.  If you see the car before you cross, you run fast across or you wait until the next big gap between cars.  But if you are halfway across and turn and see a car, you freeze mid step.  Like you don't know if you should go back or not.
      I've personally had quite a few experiences with that feeling, none ending badly though, so that's good, but it, I don't know... I just found it really interesting.  That split second or less of pure mental and physical block where you just cant decide what to do because thousands of scenarios are flashing through your head about what could happen and your body's trying to tell you what to do... I'm not sure why, but this one quote just caught my eye.  I felt somehow compelled- however cheesy that sounds- to write about it. 
       And who knows? Maybe next time I'm in a situation like that I'll think of this post and just kinda go in a circle with my thoughts, what should I do? I wrote about this... did I say what to do? what's more logical? I don't know... but I found it very interesting and relate able to most, so... ya:)  Topics are kinda hard to just think of to write about, so quite a few free posts will probably start with a cool quote or some lyrics...  So think about it.  Have you ever experienced this???
