Sensory Deprivation For Fun

Recommended Pairing: A ton of salt for the water.

Generally speaking, I keep to myself. I'm not a loner or anything, in fact, I'm mostly an extrovert. I love goofing around, pitching bits and jokes, searching for adventure, and trying to squeeze as much fun out of each minute that I can. That being said, I hate people. Not individuals, per se. I mean a lot of them do make me want to dive through a window, but I can deal with some of the kookiest with a smile. Crowds on the other hand, no way.

A lot of my friends are way better at relaxing than I am. Scratch that, I am the least relaxed person most people know. I just hate sitting still. I'm the kind of guy that feels like sleeping is wasting time, so I stay up all night literally wasting time.

Recently, it has been suggested to me that I try out a sensory deprivation tank. It was brought up like this:

"Hey Mike," My friend said. "You like taking mushrooms right? I think you'd really like this isolation tank thing." To which I replied, "Go on."

My girlfriend is not into the idea of voluntarily climbing into a warm water coffin. So I had to scour around for a lot of positive videos that might help alleviate the claustrophobia. Rhett and Link made the most compelling case I could find. 

I don't think I'm going to encourage my lady friend to check out Joe Rogan, even though he seems to have some of the most passionate pleas for people to jump into a synthetic Dead Sea. And I definitely don't think she should see this guy from Vice, or I might not be able to ever go myself. 

Man, I gotta try this shit.
