wind mage..

you can just tell from the title that this is gonna be a weird one right? yeah you can...
I'm gonna tell you bout somethin I do now and then. When I'm walking down an open kinda street or somethin, I just spread my arms out to either side like im about to fly, and the wind just picks up, swirling all around me, feels amazing. Heres the funny part though, if your imagination is strong enough you can make it such that you are the one summoning the wind and making it fly here and there. This is not akin to the other forms of magic, since those mostly require a master-slave approach, with the wind however, the caster and the wind are associates. There are no commands, only requests.
I've always told anyone who was interested in listening that of all the elements, the wind was my favorite. Somethin about the freedom inherent in the wind just calls out to me. At the end of a hard day, I've found myself wishing so many times that I could just transform into one of the many winds and just fly about for a while. High over the lands, where no one can see me, and no one can judge me. 
Another thing I love about the wind is the way in which it plays with my hair. One of the reasons why I like having long hair is because, it looks so cool when its being swept about by the wind. Therefore in order to have long hair which sweeps about I make a sacrifice on the overall quality of my appearance, meaning, I go out looking like a caveman.
The seaside is amazing in that respect, it is so windy and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is so cool. Mountains are even better, not the real cold ones, im talking more like, the grassy meadows kinda mountains. There was this one show on cartoon network a long time back, and I've seen it in passing, it was called heidi, and even though the show was essentially queer  the setting was amazing, it was set somewhere in the swiss alps. Now that I think about it, there might have been a geographical inaccuracy there, since as far as I know the alps are snow clad most of the time, and in this toon they showed the mountains as being full of grassy meadows and the like. My word, they looked amazing.
Another comic which I was crazy bout was Asterix, I loved the adventure the humour and the setting. For a while in my childhood I think I actually started a search for gaul so that I could relocate there, I mean come on...even the barbarians looked friendly and as long as you knew a druid you would be ok. Everything about that comic was cool, the camraderie it portrayed, the simple life versus so many complications brought in by the romans. I appreciated greatly the way in which the authors had addressed so many serious issue by means of something so funny and innocent. I never get sick of reading Asterix, irrespective of how many times.

thats it for now dudes,

magus.
