Hi to all. I just left class.The weather SUCKS in Houston. Hope it clears up here by Sunday. My teacher was making fun of "people who jump out of air planes". No one in my psychology class knows I jump. She said something about having a id and haveing too much of something .

When she said that there is a unconsious force that drives all people. She said our instincts to go to war , to do drugs, and people that jump out of planes have too much thanatus in our brain, thus yea we have a death wish.( WHATEVER)
She is soooo F-ing Wrong. I have no death wish. I love to skydive. I am very careful to ensure my safety every time I jump. People fear what they do not understand.

Found this a while back.....
SKYDIVING and the BRAIN
People have always craved new and exciting experiences. The reason is that such experiences bring pleasure. And the feeling of pleasure is caused by activation of groups of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain. These nerve cells communicate with each other and with nerve cells in other brain regions by means of chemical messengers called "neurotransmitters" which transmit signals and activate nerve cells. The part of the brain which is activated by exciting experiences is the "limbic system", which is composed of the oldest part of the brain, "the rhinencephalon", the emotional part. SKYDIVING "kick-starts" this part of the brain activating the amygdala, which is concerned with emotional memories especially those arousing feelings of fear and avoidance, as well as the septal region and hypothalamus, "pleasure centers" of the brain. Activation of these regions by input from our bodies during the act of SKYDIVING causes nerve cells to release the neurotransmitters "seratonin and norepinephrine",which in turn activate other nerve cells locally and at a distance.The amount of seratonin and norepinephrine bathing nerve cells in different brain regions, regulate moods, from exhilaration to despair, from moment to moment, as well as over longer periods of time. Activation of these regions of the brain are responsible for the complex set of feelings we feel when we jump out of that airplane.
