Living Life on the Edge

When I read the article about this guy, it was just one of those very appalling articles. Shane McConkey died last March 26, 2009. Reason? Living Life on the Edge. It’s so funny how the word passion or rather how passion takes us to a level where in the whole world or even your family doesn’t understand. In a YouTube video that was made by a fan, a unflattering comment spun. Sometimes, people think we are crazy for doing such. I can’t believe that this is coming from my own mouth but sometimes isn’t it just great to live life on the edge, even though you know it could kill you simply because you love doing it. I remember someone once told me “If you haven’t found something to die for, you haven’t really lived.” Playing it safe is causing people to stick to the same routine, and I don’t like routines. It’s damn boring and it makes people fat—-literally. I don’t know the scientific explaination but I just felt like saying it because that’s how I see people and I have tested and proven it into my own life. Shake the stress away and stop controlling your own life. Set it free!

McConkey was…
