Near-life experiences

Those of you familiar with fight club might remember the part where Mr. Duerden talks about near-life experiences. I am here to elaborate this idea, and to explain in detail what I think constitutes a near-life experience.
Most people spend their life in a daze. By a daze i mean not feeling the power of 100000000 nerve endings screaming at you. This only happens in situations where the body is pumping a lot of adrenalin into the blood stream. Medical dictionaries might tell you that adrenalin is revealed to your bloodstream only in times of fear, panic and emergency.

All I really have to say, is my favorite moments in life are these. Whether it's clinging to a rock face with just my fingers or the adrenalin that comes with writting a really hard exam it'll be my drug of choice when i attempt to experience life at it's fullest.

Quote of the post

"Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ''the rat race'' is not yet final."
