It changed me. Every strong emotion I can think of having all revolve around sharks. Love. Fear. Obsession. Honestly, I can't see a photo of a great white or a scene in a movie without either a little shriek (if I'm not expecting it) or at the very least a highly increased heart rate. <br /><br />However, as obsessions go, I had to be Ahab and hunt down my white whale, and I recently got back from a week long cage diving trip off of Isla Guadalupe. Saw a total of 9 great whites, biggest one being a 17 footer. It was surreal. To this day, it doesn't feel like it happened. I don't think my brain can process I actually did that. It's like being in the presence of a god.Johnny D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-21661341193577598922011-02-01T15:26:29.721-05:002011-02-01T15:26:29.721-05:00I like your list.

The opened bloody maw of the great white shark is surely one of the most blood-freezing sights on this planet. And it turns up in my nightmares all too often.

Something about the Jaws poster scared the bejeezus out of me when I was 5, tormenting me for years with nightmares (even today my worst nightmares have sharks in them), and I still can't look at a wide gaping maw without my palms breaking into a sweat and having to turn away after a half second...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-48973548420342048192010-03-13T02:48:46.676-05:002010-03-13T02:48:46.676-05:00Headed to San Diego in July, gonna jump in the oce...Headed to San Diego in July, gonna jump in the ocean, if i'm, not back, a shark got me.oducerproducerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849607649137693554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-90924498818776180922010-03-13T00:33:15.693-05:002010-03-13T00:33:15.693-05:00Blech, sharks scare me more than venereal disease....Blech, sharks scare me more than venereal disease.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-11442177860172151342010-03-13T00:05:04.263-05:002010-03-13T00:05:04.263-05:00The last time I decided to go for a long swim in t...The last time I decided to go for a long swim in the ocean (straight out perpendicular to the shore), when I turned around to see how far I'd gone there was a crowd of people running up the shore in my direction, pointing to where I was and screaming "Shark!" <br /><br />My only immediate thought was whether I'd be able to see underwater there or not, so I tried it; the salinity wasn't pleasant and I couldn't see but a foot or two away.<br /><br />That was the one thing that really bothered me about the whole situation. I didn't mind the thought of possibly getting destroyed by a shark nearly as much as I hated the fact that I'd probably not get to see it happen. <br /><br />Maybe that means I like horror movies a little TOO much.Hhhhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646466488248975018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-79143840291686813062010-03-12T22:39:10.272-05:002010-03-12T22:39:10.272-05:00I like my sharks the same way I like my werewolves...I like my sharks the same way I like my werewolves ... trapped within the confines of a two-dimensional screen where they can't get to me.<br /><br />I made the mistake of reading up on the famous Sandy Point, N.J., shark attacks a few days before visiting the Sandy Hook beach when I was a kid. Needless to say, I didn't do much swimming that day.Cousin Barnabashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100748097966533023noreply@blogger.com
