A Rabbit?

You may be wondering, "Why would someone blog about such a random topic such as rabbits?" Well to be honest, I saw a rabbit on my way home from CCD last night, so i had my mom stop the car so I could chase him/her for a while. I've always wanted to catch a rabbit. I don't necessarily know why though. I would never be able to keep it on account of my parents and my hyper-friendly dog. I would have to let it go after taking a few pictures showing my accomplishment. That is probably why, the accomplishment in doing so that i have tried to do for so long. If I ever caught a rabbit my long quest would be complete and my life would be a little better. But this doesn't only apply to rabbits, you know. Everyone has this mindset that they should do something seemingly impossible or at least highly improbable, but they keep trying anyways just to say that they did it in the end. For example, there's this carnival game at the fair. Like the one where you get a machine gun and have to shoot out the star. It's relatively difficult and the prizes are not that great. Most of them in fact are just inflatables that would flatten in a week. But you see everyone trying this game. Many times it isn't because they can't shoot a machine gun anywhere else, because lets face it, almost everyone has an airsoft gun these days and could set the same thing up in their backyard. Or if they don't, they'd get a videogame, as most kids also do now a days. People play the game so that they can say they did it. They'd be the coolest kids at the carnival if they walked around with that inflatable for an hour or so and told everyone they won it at the machine gun game. This gives the kid utmost authority over the other kids playing the game, and it brings the game great business because now all the kids want to try to show the kid up and then be cooler. Really, this is a business tactic from the carnival, but it shows my point. Do something improbable, and you will be highly looked upon. Its a simple fact of life. If you shoot a full court basketball shot with your eyes clothes and backwards and make it on the first try, you will always be remembered as the person who did that. So, if I caught a rabbit bare handed, I would be remembered as the guy who caught a rabbit and would have such a cool cover photo on facebook.
