BEING IMPULSIVE


...is what you don't think of, when you think you've got it all under control.

…is "Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead" in any direction.

…is that motivation that makes you run, when you only intended to think about walking.

…is the doing without thinking

…is the tasting without drinking.

…is the speed of an athlete, mixed with the planning of a fool, and both happening simultaneously.

…is the quick way to something that nobody wants you to try for fear it might work.

…is an incitement for the mind, excitement for the soul and a rebirth for inquisition.

…is "four to go" without the "one for the money and two for the show". "Three to get ready" is still in occupational therapy somewhere practicing.

…is the excitement of a tie, the panic of overtime, and the intensity of sudden death all wrapped up into one moment in time.

…is the reaching for life, liberty and the instinctive pursuit of everything before it is lost.

…is an unpremeditated act for which you can be restrained for life.

…is the taking off for the clouds, before you realize you don't know how to land.

…is an X-rated play, that everyone claims they don't want to see.

…is the chasing of the butterfly in the beginning and in the end.
