Breathing in the Winter

Sorry folks.  It has been quite a while since I have blogged because I have been rehearsing/performing a fantastic play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and partying with the cool cats from the cast.

But a lot has happened since I last typed to y'all so here it goes...

I am currently suffering from show withdrawal but at the same time I am excited to have time to do things like study, sleep, and play floor hockey again.
I have joined my dorm ice hockey team and we have our first practice this week.
I have watched the greatest movie ever made - Citizen Kane -
and the worst movie ever made - The Room -
(I STRONGLY SUGGEST WATCHING BOTH OF THEM IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO)
I made some amazing theater friends.
I found my inner Hamlet and had incredibly insane and angsty moments on stage.
I walked around campus at 4:30 am (twice in one weekend)
I caught a snowflake on my tongue.
I shook off the snow on my jacket by dancing.
I made some snowballs.
I jumped off of random things and fell into the snow.
I was told to "Just wait for an actual snowfall..." by a Chicagoite ??
I danced like a fool.
I had a strawberry milkshake at Steak n' Shake.
I had a hot fudge sundae at IHOP.
I fought imaginary pirates with a plastic sword.
I gave orders to have the English King execute Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
I murdered Polonius.

I did lots of other things too but there is one thing in particular I would like to focus on.

Breathing

It is only in the winter when you can see your breath. 

Your breath has moisture in it. When you exhale into very cold outdoor air, the moisture-laden atmosphere from your lungs becomes chilled to the point where the water condenses into a fog. 

It looks like a a small cloud is formed from your mouth or nostrils.

It kind of reminds me of the "breath of life" God gave to Adam.

I associate certain emotions with seeing your breath like relaxation, happiness, love, comfort.

We all need to breathe, it gives our blood oxygen and is circulated to all parts of our body so our cells can make energy.  It is necessary for life.  Just like love, happiness, comfort, relaxation.

Look even David Blaine needs to breathe...
