People,

So I was thinking this morning about how strange it is that humans have the ability to map their feelings onto almost any situation. I mean, I guess that's why cartoons and stories about talking animals work, but I was especially thinking about video games.

During the Halo party of Tuesday night, we were all rendered as virtual characters on a video screen. There was no real danger, but I found myself becoming scared when I was alone and comforted when I saw Pete or Paul coming up to be with me. I mean, it's silly, but I actually felt physically and emotionally safer when we were fighting together.

And when someone attacked my boys in the game? It was the same adrenaline rush I imagine I would experience if the real thing happened in some bar in Missouri on tour. Every time I rushed in and did my best to put the beat down on the offender. Even if I died, it was great when the other one of us would live.

Anywho, it's wacky. I actually have way more to say about it, but my boss is now up my ass. Dag.
