The Fear

    Is there anything that you're afraid of?

    I was having a conversation with a few of my mates the other night and one of them mentioned how much they were afraid of spiders.. When I said that the idea of death scared me they looked at me as if I was a nutjob. 'Sure that happens us all'.. 'dying isn't a big deal.. don't be a hypochondriac'.. this is what they say while harboring a deep seeded horror of relatively harmless creatures!

    What's more rational; the fear of death or the fear of Irish spiders? I'm not even that scared of death.. I just don't want it.

    I'm afraid of the loss of control i.e. if you're underground, in a tight space and you get stuck - there's nothing you can do about it. Or if you get stuck under the ice in a lake.

    No money at the end of the week, panic sets in regarding bills, food on the table etc..... Self employment is crap at times.

    Spiders too. Creepy crawlies. Oh,i'm not scared of dying, but i do have a kinda fear of drowning or getting burnt to death.. Once it's not either of them two,i won't be scared of dying.

    If it's any consolation it'll only be one or the other and not both.

    Also, those spiders are big bastards.

    The idea of crawling through a small tunnel makes me lose my breath.

    And being eaten by a lion or bear, wouldnt fancy that either.

    Misleading title is misleading.

    Almost had me telling the story about the gorilla trying to break down the door one night.

    Just say no kids.
