Déjà vu all over again ￼

As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today

What is something you really want to do or experience again?

Ahh the wit and witticism of Yogi Berra…

Have you ever seen those videos on social media, I think they’re usually a TikTok, where someone listens to a particular band or a particular song for the first time? Usually, in the comments, someone will say something along the lines of “I wish that I could hear my first metallica song again for the first time” as an example. I think a lot about the things that I really enjoy in life and I would like to revisit those moments where Certain passions of mine were first ignited

I’m not sure that I could limit this to just one thing. To be quite honest there are several things I would like to experience again for the first time. Some of the things on this list I would like to re-live again for the first time. Others I’d like to watch younger experience for the first time – like Uatu The Watcher from What If…

Watching Star Trek for the first time

I’ve written several times on this blog about how important the Star Trek franchise is to me. And while it’s far from the best episode of the franchise I’ve ever seen, but I think I would like to be able to watch “encounter at four point“ the pilot episode for Star Trek: The Next Generation again, for the first time. At this point, it’s difficult for me to remember exactly what got me hooked on the show.

Falling in love

I want to fall in love again. I want to be able to experience all the emotions “devil may care” attitude that you dive at first into a relationship with. I don’t think, knowing where I am now with the wisdom of accumulated over the course of my life, be able to really accept all of those overwhelming feelings and emotion soap blindly. But I think it would be fun to feel it again for the first time.

Relive the day that my children are born

I don’t think that I take the birth of either of my boys for granted at all. But at the same time, it’s kind of like your wedding day: it happens so fast that it’s almost impossible to process the magnitude of what’s unfolding. You just kinda have to go through the day and leave it. I think it would be absolutely surreal to either experience the birth of my sons again, or witness it from a third person point of view. Plus re-experiencing the birth of Lid 1 would also mean seeing The Old Man again.

Bungee jumping

I went bungee jumping once when I was in college I think I was about 19 or 20 at the time. It wasn’t something I had set out to do. But my friends and I were on a spring break trip to Florida. There was a place in Orlando That had a bungee tower. Some of us choked around about it and I decided to try it. There were some definite fear as I was getting ready to go, and I closed my eyes for most of the actual jump, but then I remember the moment where I first felt the court retract and I knew that I wasn’t going to die and this incredible adrenaline surge that rent for the course of my body. At that moment, I felt like a God. When they loosen accord, and I landed on the mat below and got up, I felt like I was 10 feet tall.
