>Hey UD,
I frickin HATED those scary rides...I barely survived a ferris wheel ride!! I deplore all of those, and any, fast or high or whatever, ride. And that was going back to 8 or 9?
The only thing that EVER gave me a rush was/is good, loud music! I have been a drummer for about 38 years, and the deeply emotive intensity gave me these beautiful, powerful bathing in light feeling. No drug has EVER come close to replacing it, or nearly even close. And at 52, I LOVE a ton of a bit older and even a lot of new music. But, performing it and listening, gives me goosebumps....I showed that to a bandmate of mine once, when we were listening to an awesome piece of music, and he could feel the hair standing up on my arm. It's like, what I imagine is, the most incredible heroin trip ever. Oddly, tons of musicians have long history's of mental illness.
Here is a good example of a similar face I always made playing:
