Fantasy. Do not Attempt.

there's this car commercial (nissan, i think) where some commuters are in danger of being late until the beautiful woman driver takes things in her own hands and drives up a ramp and launches the car onto the top of a train, which carries them towards their destination. the last shot shows them getting there (whereever there is) early.

and at the bottom of the tv screen, there runs the warning "Fantasy. Do not Attempt."

and you think "duh." until you remember just how many really stupid people there are out there. including myself.

no, i would never be brave enough and or dumb enough to drive like that. i can rarely bring myself to go over the speed limit even. but yeah, once upon a time, i thought perhaps that dreams would come true for me. and i attempted to allow myself to dream.

and yeah. that didn't work out so well. you should never attempt to live out a fantasy. because the difference between the dream and the crashing reality is really just too wide a chasm to ever get over.

so now i don't deal in fantasy. at all. everything is, just what it is. and will continue to be, exactly what it is. and i stick firmly to that.

Fantasy. Do NOT attempt. my motto.
