My life is sooo boring

Well, at least that's the feeling I got after watching Slumdog Millionare. There's just something about movies like that that gets me thinking. Life in Boulder, Colorado presents about as much danger and conflict as running from a pack of wild marshmallow peeps. As a result I tend to idealize the dangerous and conflict packed lives of the characters in these action/drama movies. I think this is what draws Americans to these movies so much, it's a convenient place to get our fix of meaningful life experiences from. I am quite guilty of idealizing a character in a movie who for instance is kidnapped, robbed, and dropped in a foreign country. Wow, now that sounds like an adventure! This is kind of ridiculous because I'm sure if I really was in that situation I wouldn't be stoked to eat rats and sleep in garbage cans. Ok, so I've established that this situation would not be as idylic as I sometimes imagine, but somewhere deep down I still long or these types of experiences. Experiences where I can live out my masculinity. Finally know the answer to the question in the back of my mind of what I would do in a fist fight, without having to punch a random guy on the street. I know for a fact, actually it's more than a fact, it's instinct, that I was not created to dedicate my life to a
demasculating, unfulfilling, self-centered way of life. I want to live by my God-inspired instincts. Help me Lord.
