Covert

If there is one personal thing I love to do, it is being covert in various ways that are fun and amusing.

Life Lesson: "Simple things amuse simple minds," (a quote from my grade 9 gym teacher) is WRONG.

If it's simple, it might be hilarious, which ultimately may be amusing to all minds no matter how complex they are! If they don't find it amusing it just means they have a different sense of humour. That's my reasoning, disagree all you want. Anyways, I tried a small simple covert mission last Friday morning when I arrived at school. I love to people-watch and get into the minds of others. It is fascinating how you can act in a certain way that will lead people to believe that nothing is out of the ordinary! There was a girl standing in front of the Chemistry bill board figuring out her lab schedule, I decided to walk up beside her and pretend to look for my name and information as well. She obviously had no clue that I wasn't even registered in a Chemistry course this term or that I took that course last year (and she shouldn't, she doesn't know me)! It amused me to know that she will always think that the person beside her at that very moment was a student in her same lab (well, until she notices that I did not show up at any of them). I guess it wasn't covert in a physical sense because I wasn't disguised... but that's not the point. The point is, I created a false thought process and she will never figure out that she, essentially, was deceived! Don't worry, I'm not a creep who does this for sick and twisted kicks. It's just simply fun and amusing. Also, she was very pretty, maybe that was part of the reason why I did it; but again that's beside the point.

Speaking of covert missions, the two men in this video accomplish the most thrill-seeking covert mission ever. They are referred to as "birdmen" who are involved in a crazy extreme sport in which they sky dive/glide in flying squirrel-like suits. They jump into fjords and canyons and also jump from the peaks of mountains. It's UNREAL! Here, they disguise themselves in order to jump from the newest tallest building in the world, The Burj Tower in Dubai. Take a look!
