6. Being The God Of Guitar Hero

The day has finally come. Everyone in your house has left, will be gone for hours and you're alone at last. You're free to finally do it. You're free to unleash the beast. Close your curtains, strap on your plastic guitar, turn up the volume and proceed to pretend that you are the biggest rock god to ever walk this earth as your fingers of fury tap buttons with reckless abandon and you flail your hair around like crazy. For optimal effect, leap up onto the couch, coffee table or other object (ideally not the cat, they don't like that) and process to shred like you've never shred before. For just a few blessed moments, you're not just some dude or girl. You're amazing, you're incredible....and you'll never tell a soul. Just don't get too carried away - the last thing you want is for your mother/girlfriend to come back in while you're standing in the middle of the sofa with a towel tied around your head like a bandanna, mock pen tattoos all over your sweaty bare torso and the notes from your riff still ringing out from the TV screen.
