False Securities and Alternate Realities

Right before I took the test this weekend, I called my saintly mother and explained to her that all of these grammar rules are made up.  First red flag.  Then, I felt strangely confident-euphoric might be the correct word, actually-going into the test.  Second red flag.  Lastly, I was highly distracted the entire time I was studying for the test.  Third, and final, red flag.

What I learned, and what I am continuing to learn, is that I need to identify these "false security" red flags before  I take tests, make commitments, or otherwise engage in activities of weight.  I understand that this will be at least a life long pursuit, but I can start now.

The first thing I have identified that is a sure sign I am falsely secure is living in an alternate reality.  Let me show you what I mean.  When I called my mom to tell her all the grammar rules are made up, part of me genuinely believed that.  Granted, it was a mostly lame attempt at hilarity, but there was an element of truth in my statement. 

Summed up, my takeaway from MCOM 320 this week is simple: I need to identify when I am in a false security mindset by identifying beforehand alternate realities.

I feel like I have a "ways to go" before I can identify false security before it is too late.  Enjoy the video, the band, the music.

Rock on.
