Random Memories #001

These entries are based on totally random moments in my life. The objective for me is to see if there is any repercussions to the timing of this memory on my current situation. The objective for any blog reader is to see if the memory sparks anything in your own life.

Breaking a tent in neighbour's backyard 
Age: aprox 6. Playing with other friends, running through neighbour's backyard. They had a tent set up, and I was running alongside or running into it. Somehow I bent one of the support beams, damaging the tent. Impulsively, I ran home to avoid getting caught. The owner of the tent came to our house not long after and explained to my Dad that he thought I had done the damage. I did not put up any resistance when confronted and did not receive any harsh punishment.

Analysis: The urge to flee I believe is a basic animal instinct. I believe that is why you see idiots on those Cops show being chased down the road, despite the fact they are riding on their rims and a dozen cops are surrounding them. I saw this very incident myself last week while driving down interstate 35-W.
