I was thinking about Secret of Evermore earlier, and i was reminded of many dreams and goals. Playing games like this, from Final Fantasies to Metroid Primes, Tomb Raiders and Secrets of Mana, i see a tack at which i attempt to take life. All i've ever wanted to do was go on an adventure like these, in some other place with so much to explore and discover, where there were other people with just as much gusto.
Am i the product of the media i grew up with? The stories I participated in? Am i just a loony bin wishing he lived in a video game?
these things haven't fallen by the wayside. I still cherish such thoughts and hopes and dreams as much as my life. It is because i think these things are possible that i might be crazy. Its because the differences someone else sees between the fiction and the real world are differences that I see as insignificant. It is because i feel i can somehow merge imagination and the real world that i might be crazy.
The one thing i haven't seen yet: the clincher, a plot point, a significant idea, proposal, discovery or action that would provide me with proper opportunity to set forth. I feel like i'm somewhat floundering. Like im in a waiting room but i can't see the door to the next room so i can just go through it regardless of waiting. Let's see if i can come up with something:
I live in a rich, ridiculous country with a strange leader, countless conspiracies surrounding the governing bodies, a multitude of servants and slaves, and all in an age of technology. The only monsters roaming around (besides all the stories told) are thugs in dark alleys, the only threats to anything are humans vs themselves via nature. No alien forces bent on using us for food, no time-warps or dimensional portals freeing long-held titans. There is a good chance there are people, in guarded places, out in the world that know at least a bit more than i do about whats been going on, what could happen, or what kind of horizons are on the way. There are places to see, but it would seem there are guards everywhere. I gotta keep food and water in my system, perhaps until i level up or upgrade later on.
Places to see....i keep on saying that. What? Details! what places in particular? I could mention some ancient temples and ruins i'd like to see, all over seas. In this day, it would seem haphazard to wander around over seas. What would it take to do so? Lots of money? Proper weapons and stealth? Or just a goal and a sharp mind...I feel so uninformed. Out of place.
I need an old inventors mansion with a mysterious machine....or something like that. Can i produce such an event just to partake in the after-effects? I wonder. If i were to build something to move and shake, it would probably be a giant robot or something.

Umm... dude. You made a robot in high school, you stood up against the government, nearly got caught, slipped under thier radar, and flew to a far away land. There you mingled with the locals, and basically started a new life. what part of this isn't an adventure?
You feel that you don't belong to this world. You feel that yoru abilities are entirely underneeded, and the things that people want from yuo seem insignificant and pointless. You feel that yoru personage would be ideally suited for some other mystical place. I know the feeling. I believe that this mutual feeling is probably one of the main things that let us become like brothers. The problem is that, untill further notice, we're stuck here, and can't very well do much about it. So we've jsut gotta stick to it and soldier on, eventually we'll make it to another place where we can be appreeticted, but untill then, life is life.
