So here I am, at this huge thrill seeker, problem blocker, busy memory filled, yummy food-smelling, big open space filled with laughing, screaming, conversations, and music... Because saying six flags is too mainstream. I'm with my two acquaintances or "Besties" that I've been friends with since before i knew what acquaintance was. We're all girl-ifyed with our cute summer tank tops, short shorts, and converse. We've got our make up on to attract the boys and we're just ready for a good time.
My personal favorite ride was batman or bizzaro, but then the Goliath was built. My friends Maddie and Amanda, and I saw the line of this bright green neon and blue coaster and it was intimidating. I honestly am not scared of any ride. I will literally ride any ride/rollercoaster, you name it. But sence that line was so long we decided to wait and go on the one and only Bizzaro. The sun was shining it's hot waves on our heads and faces. Thank god it started sprinkling rain and cooled us down. The anticipation was killing me. We were at the gate of the cart in which held many bodies of thus wanting to ride. It slowly opened and the smiles of my firends and i were priceless. We put our belt on and lowered the yellow safety bar on our lap. The employees quickly ran down both sides of the cart and tighten all of our belts. Tappin my feet with excitement, I look at my friends with a huge smile. "ALL CLEAR..WHOOP"! says one of the employees over a microphone. "WHOOP" , says all of us coping it's noise. I guess it's a tradition persay, to make that noise before a ride at six flags The cart starts shooting forward quickly and i grab my friends hand. Eminem starts playiing in the speakers of the seat while we go up the track. It makes a clicking noise everytime we go up higher. It's neverending! WIth the clicking, high view, and bass of the speakers, it gives us all a rush of excitement. I have the shaky\excited feeling right now as i'm writing this! As we get to the top, eveyone's hands are up and we start to lean forward... BAM. In a split second I'm falling rapidly towards the earth, my stomach's in my throat, and i'm not focusing on anything. The wind is blowing my hair everywhere and there's screaming. I don't know what to think. It all happens so fast. We hit other smaller drops and twists. We look at eachothers relieved faces and messed up hair. We laughed because it was just amazing. We get off and run to the Goliath which is more intimidating than bizzaro. As we reach the front of the line we notice a fearless 11 year old boy who decided to ride with us. He wasn't scared at all and has ridden it a million times. Unlike us, we havn't experienced the mightly Goliath, and lets just say it was totally worth the wait!
The bell rings and we all bolt out of that terrible prison we call "school". I walk home in the cold, the snow crushing beneith my boots, I wait patiently before crossing the street. The cold air makes my eyes water and nose red. I finally walk to my house and enter the warm presence of my cozy kitchen. I say hi to my mom and talk about my day until she has to leave to pick up my younger brother from school. I lock my door and hide in my room. I turn my stero loud with the bass turned up all the way. As i'm jamming out to Green Day, I see it. There it is with its shiny screen reflecting the surroundings of my room. My pink IpodTouch 5th generation 32gig. I pick it up and feel it's thinness and smoothness. I click the home button, type in my passcode, and it brings me to the endless pages of social media, music, games, photography apps, and everything imaginable. I honestly don't remember what I was doing with my life before I got an IPod. I had my old one for four years and it didnt have a camera and was outdated. So i went to the apple store with my saved money and perchased the brand new Ipod. I was so excited. It has panaramic view also, so you can take long range photos. I go on many apps including facebook, youtube, twitter, instagram, kik, ect... It's basicly my life. Sometimes I'm too distracted on it, that I don't do anything productive. Which doesn't bother me, but I know i should be trying to establish a hobbie. I get to talk to my friends and be creative on it, that's why it's addicting. Just being able to hold this technology still shocks me. I don't understand how we can go from being cavemen and living off of the eart to now having everything at our fingertips and haveing any modern technology. It honestly blows my mind.
Im many ways my two valueable items are obviously different, but if we look into the deeper meaning of theese things, they are a little alike. My ipod and rollercoaster drops have the same reaction by me. They both are simply, exciting. I get excited about every little detail. For example when I'm first in line for my favorite ride, Or even when I'm buckled up waiting for the people to do a safety check. It just gets my anxiesty and adrenaline pumping. Another example would be when i have wi-fi, or a new notification on facebook. It can just be the simplest things that are valueable too. Roller coasters and my Ipod give me the feeling of blocking out my problems. When i'm hitting zero to sevnty miles per hour in the course of four seconds, do you think i give a crap about anything? Other than the fact that i have a chance of plumiting into the earth and possibly dying. And when I'm on my ipod watching a funny video or watching my favorite youtubers vlog, I'm getting rid of all the negativity I have by watching or doing something that makes me happy.
Now on to the obvious ways they are different. My Ipod compared to the size of a rollercoaster is like a grain of sand on a beach. It's tiny but can hold a lot of data. Ipods are smooth where as roller coasters are most likely rugged or rusty. Lets move aside from the physical difference. Roller coasters are dangerous and give you a rush. My Ipod is safe and can give your mind a rest from anxiety and just listen to a song. I have to focus on the meaning of the lyrics, but during rollercoaster drops i'm not focusing at all, and my mind is blank during them. You can be indoors and hiding from the world on an ipod. On rollercoasters your outdoors, Out in the open, and high in the air. These two items are similar yet different.
I value My IPod, because it is basically my life. I value rollercoaster drops, because the feeling of them is too intense.I show my value for my Ipod by using it every day. I value the price, and how it's very expencive. I'm very lucky to have one, because most people do not. I value the exceitment and experience of rollercoasters. They are expensive to build and to have a whole park full of them is incredable. I value both of my items deeply and value them in lots of ways.
Many things are valuable to me, Weather it's priced or priceless. I believe everything is both priced and priceless, Rollercosters are priced due to the tickets to ride them, to build them, and to get in the park. But they are priceless too because of the amazing rush they bring. My Ipod costs money so its priced, but the way the music makes you fell is priceless. It;s important to truely value and appreciate eveything you have, because others aren't as fortunate to have those items. So just take the time and think to yourself, right this moment. What do you truely value?
the end .
