However, I sometimes rode my motorcycle recklessly. I would not put myself in such danger now. Interestingly, I have a cousin who jumps out of airplanes and parachutes to the ground. He says it helps him to relieve stress and depression. When I was in high school, I ran long distances - as much as 12 miles (these days I just walk pretty much every day). The endorphins that are released after a long run made me feel much better. I guess that endorphins are also released when we do something dangerous that makes us feel afraid. Some people love to go to scary movies for the same reason. Perhaps I will write a post about my motorcycle riding days. :) Well, the adrenaline rush did help me to feel less depressed.

I don't remember the joke, buti remembered it was totally unexpected, therfore was funny. Wow, i did not know that... it seems kind of dangerous... but well, the adrenaline rush is worth it? i guess :) Yes, i think they are the same… i saw the show twice, the first time i hated it and the seond time, i simply fell in love with it!

There is a group of performance artists who are called Blue Men. They cover themselves with blue clothing and blue make-up. Then they do all sorts of mime movements. They have a traveling stage show and they sometimes do TV commercials. Are these the same guys that do your show? So, what was the joke about the central sewer system? There was a time when I liked to go fast. When I had a motorcycle, I would sometimes drive very fast on the empty highway late at night. I got up to 105 mph one night. I blew past a few trucks like they were standing still! I have not seen the blue man show. There is a group of performance artists who are called Blue Men.

Placed in wadi al sir is the hub for cars service shops and modification hidden shacks, it has always been related to the youth with pimped cars being recklessly driven.

I am fascinated by the possibility of finding life on Mars. There is apparently water, or at least ice near the surface, so there could also be life. I hope there is! Ok, I get your point though. If I had to suffer the disgusting smells of sewage on a regular basis, I wouldn't have much energy to spend dreaming about Mars. It sounds like Jordanians use a lot of septic tanks, or possibly cess pits. Those do require periodic pumping out to remove accumulated solid waste matter. In the U.S., septic tanks, connected to a field of septic lines (to drain the waste), are mostly used in rural areas. Cities tend to have centralized sewage treatment plants that are fed by a network of gravity flow sewage pipes and pumps built into the system. Occasionally, a sewer pipe will break, releasing foul odors, but mostly these systems work quite well. So, in Amman, the city does not have centralized sewage treatment plants? I could understand ancient parts of the city not having such a system, but how about the newer, more modern parts of the city? Do you have modern water and sewage facilities? Being schooled and trained as an engineer, I am curious about such things. So, your young men like to drive in the fast lane and hate to get busted by the cops? Its the same here. ;) Well, I have always been a major fan of NASA, at least when they are doing things right. I am fascinated by the possibility of finding life on Mars.
