Skiing powder on a 2 day 3 feet snow dump by myself in Aspen for my first time. Yelling and hollering like a crazy person and feeling completely content with the world. That in a nutshell is why I love skiing so much

Growing up on the Marine base in Hawaii - get out of school and head down to the beach almost every day after school. No worries about crime. Something new on the beach every day. There was a cave. There were sand dunes. You could sit on the beach at one end and watch Crusaders come in and land.

Taking a huge dump at the Bucees in Luling, TX after holding it in for 30 minutes

I graduated from college into the dotcom boom and bust.
I was laid off and for some dumb reason they paid me for almost a year, including insurance. On top of that, I was able to collect WA state unemployment that was like $800/month.
I moved back east and rented a room from a friend. I enjoyed life. A lot.
If I had been smarter, I could have invested and probably be retired now, but what fun would that have been?

Honestly? War…
This and it’s not even close. There is only “right now”. Yesterday doesn’t matter and tomorrow might not get here.
There is a scene in the Hurt Locker movie when where the guy goes back to the states and all the colors look really bleached out. That wasn’t a mess up in the film. That’s what life is like when you return.
I was only in Desert Shield/Storm. I can’t imagine what it was like for the latest guys…

At 3:00 pm on the last day of school before summer break, the last year I didn't have a job... Of course it was an illusion... I had no money, car or authority... but I was, in that moment... free.

Almost every experience related to true freedom in my life involved a boat LOL. From crossing the gulfstream to hunting a duck blind on the Columbia river in the dark nothing like being alone on a boat in a risky situation to remove worry and doubt from the mind....its about as in the moment as I can imagine....
Preach brother....
Can't imagine life without a boat...

Only takes a couple days out in Big Bend National Park to forget what anxiety even feels like.

After I almost got killed in Iraq. After that, I've felt like I was playing with house money. Was I really free? Not really. It's not like I could go home or anything. But I'll say that all the little shite didn't really matter for a long while after that, and to a large degree still doesn't.
I don't recommend going through it, but it does help with perspective.

Whenever I travel is when I have complete freedom. I can go where I want, when I want, doing what I want. It's my favorite thing to do and I try to do as much as I possibly can.

Family went out of town. Got to smoke chicken wings. Catch up on the Godzilla movies I'd bookmarked.

A couple people have said it's that time right after you graduate high school and right before you start college. For me, it was the time that started when I made the first drive from Lafayette to Baton Rouge to move into my dorm at LSU. The greatest time of my life was pretty much all of college, but those freshman and sophomore years are the peak of existence.
Living on campus in a dorm, first year of being completely free on your own, no girlfriend, no job, no responsibilities except school. Weekends with LSU Football games, tailgating and sitting in the student section. Nothing but partying, girls, sports, studying, class... the first 2 years where you don't really care what happens after graduation because it still seems so far away.
If there is an afterlife where you get to choose what you want it to be, I would just relive the first 2 years at LSU over and over again lol

That was my 3 days of complete freedom. Zero worries in the world with 3 days of liberty. I've been back a few more times, but nothing matched my first interaction with LBFM's, tropical paradise, cheap living.

Anything I do when I have no control. I mean really no control.
I did a lot of hitchhiking as a kid and it always gave me a sense of total liberation. Maybe it was the concentrated focus, maybe a buried esteem issue being addressed, maybe the option to just keep going past my destination. Whatever. But I still can remember every driver that ever picked me up.
