Parkour (French pronunciation: [paʁˈkuʁ]) (abbreviated PK) is a training discipline that developed out of military obstacle course training. <br /> <br />Practitioners aim to move from one place to another, negotiating the obstacles in between. <br /><br />The discipline uses no equipment and is non-competitive. <br /><br />A male practitioner is generally called a "traceur", a female a "traceuse".<br /> <br />Developed by Raymond Belle, David Belle, Sébastien Foucan and other members of the original Yamakasi group, <br /><br />parkour became popular in the 1990s and 2000s through a series of documentaries and films featuring these practitioners and others.<br /><br />A ghoul psychiatrist would probably quite at home with Jung and his thoughts on the shadow, the collective unconscious, etc!<br /><br />Like you, I believe bad boys are usually bad news!<br /><br />Steampunk Princess:<br />Great breakdown of why zombies appeal to our collective unconscious and our own fears of our own dark natures.<br /><br />Don't be a stranger!<br /><br />Shelly:<br />I'm glad you liked the post.

Perhaps you need a ghoul or vampire psychologist ( a Freud or Jung type) Might be an interesting angle.<br /><br />Bad boys are a pain, in the neck and elsewhere. They've been fantasized to be bad boys with a heart of gold, but then this type of story appeals to young girls and those women who likely have had little experience with that type of guy in reality.<br /><br />It's that sense of danger that appeals, but the sparkly versions are far from reality.<br /><br />btw - liked that parkour roll vid the other day. Hubs had heard that doing that started in the outer edges of Paris (poorer neighborhoods).<br />D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
