I worry. Chomsky is of my generation. If Chomsky loses his mind... Then.... What might this say about me? Noam is getting older... Same as you... Same as me... So sad....

1999 Beck was at the top of his game, in Tokyo... 2023 Not Here with us... Let this be a lesson to us all.... Life is fleeting. Beck was lucky enough to live his life so well....

Beck was just such a NICE guy... I miss him so much.

I got BECK in TOKYO cranked up so loud.... The mice on my desk are JUMPING up and down. I can feel BECK in my fingertips... Is BECK dead? I don't THINK so... Not hardly.

Where is CAPTAIN MONDAY (from Princeton) when we need him? After 10 years here... I think The Captain is OK... Wow, Men! So much I could tell you... IF you would only listen to me.....

You PUSSIES You post here... About STUPID topics... But you DONT KNOW good music. I am doing my best.... To help you get... UP TO SPEED.... WTF..... Are you FARMERS...?

Right now... I got 10 speakers going.... My Desk is <deleted> SHAKING....with BECK. I feel so sorry for you guys who are not here with me.... TURN UP THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF, MAN... What do you have to lose... ANYWAY!

Anytime I listen to the OP,... I just make sure that I have my 10 speakers going... FULL BLAST....150 Decibels...Or...MORE! BUT, I really DO NOT CARE... What, YOU do... That's.... Ups to you, As the Pattaya girls say.... What TOTAL BS, Man... No Pattaya girl can come close to.... JEFF BECK... In TOKYO... I really, And.. Truly... Feel so sorry for you....

BLAST IT!

Come to think of it.... Maybe it would be the very best for everybody if I would now just decide to... Rest on My Laurels...

You mean, "TONIGHT"? Or, do you mean, sometime around 2AM, tomorrow morning? I really have no idea...

I have...Many Times. Lost Cause, I was told.... "The best you can hope for", the Shrink told me, "is to just wait it out, and hope to not embarrass yourself too much before you die." Sure, it was the best advice, given the circumstances.... But I still can't believe I was paying USD100.00 per hour for such drivel, back in the days of "Last Summer", 1969... Those were the days... The bodily fluids were flowing... And it was de rigueur to have one's own personal shrink... I mean, I don't mind talking about it. It was the thing to do... Many guys at my school spent hours, and hours, on the couch. What is the the Last Summer?: And don't you just wish you were there! It was a BLAST, Man!

Are free samples ever offered, in order to drum up business? What about five-minute-quickies? (But never for me...)

No worries. Trolls are mythical entities, and do not exist. Everybody knows trolls don't exist. Therefore, your fear is irrational. Anyone who believes in trolls needs to see a Shrink, PDQ.

You can always come back to check for updates next Sunday, and the following Sundays...

Lesser of Evils becomes The Favorite... Simple concept. Easy to grasp... This is just Psych 101...

I have a phobia of ANXIETY! When I see anyone with symptoms of ANXIETY, especially HIGH ANXIETY, I become apprehensive, and seek a SAFE PLACE... Anxiety is a KILLER... For SURE...

Actually, what the girls in Thailand say is: "It UPS to you."

No. The answer is, "No, this guy is not normal. This guy is anything BUT normal". At least, this is exactly what I was told when I went here: Normally, when I tell my friends I went to PENN, they all think I mean that I got some kind of "degree" from PENN. But, NO. Of course not! When I say that I went to PENN, what I really mean is that I was an IN-PATIENT at the Perelman School of Medicine, Penn Psychiatry. This is where I learned what I know about Psychology, for example. It's very relaxing there at the Perelman School of Medicine, and I got to be good friends with all my nurses. I would take leisurely walks here, as in this photo of Perelman, but my walks were never unattended. The doctors would not let me out without a staff "minder". Anyone can go here, even without HIGH SAT scores. My fellow-alumnus Leon was there, too, at PENN Psychiatry. He was the looniest of them all. He didn't have any phobias, but suffered many symptoms of Delusions of Grandeur, for example. They also treated me for certain Specific Phobias, here: The program was OK, but I had many relapses after treatment at PENN when I went to live in Taiwan. There are just so many things to fear when one is living on Formosa. It's no wonder they all put us under Martial Law for our own safety... Sort of like being back at PENN Psychiatric Center, all over again. Very little freedom, and nothing to do. I am less bothered by my phobias now.. Except I have this nagging fear of my own death in the not too distant future. I cannot say if this fear is irrational or rational. On the good days, I believe that I will never die, and that my fear of death is completely irrational. On other days, I feel that my fear of death within the next two or three decades might be justifiable. The mind, especially to each individual, is not an open book. There is always that slight smell of fear around.

I was stuck in an elevator several times. I was even stuck in the SAME elevator three times, and once at 2AM with no service phone, and nobody in the building. I had to wait several hours in pitch blackness, and that was in Taiwan, a place not known for great elevators. After being stuck so many times in Taiwan elevators, I developed a phobia of elevators. My only option was to take the stairs. Sometimes I had to visit people on high floors. That was no picnic, believe me. I still don't like elevators,... And, I still hate Taiwan. Your mention of steps is somewhat similar to my experience about a decade ago. I visited a factory and fractured a femur which was replaced at Taiwan University Hospital Trying to negotiate steps is not something I like to do, and I avoid steps without railings. Here in Thailand, many outside steps at entrances to buildings do not have railings. IMHO, this is a serious oversight, and a design flaw. I normally will not use stairs without railings. Concerning the fear of steps: I would say that this is NOT a phobia, so much as it IS a rational fear of falling on stairs. I would say that this is a very common fear for those my age, particularly when negotiating stairs without railings, banisters, whatever... If I fell on a long staircase, it might be curtains for me. And so I fear going down staircases, although I have no problem going up them. Falling while going up a staircase would not be much of a problem, comparatively. My only strategy for going down staircases without banisters is to stay close to the wall, where I can at least run my hand along the wall to ensure that I maintain balance. Do I have a "stair phobia", just because I refuse to use long staircases? NO. I have a rational fear of stairs based on valid past experience. I also have a fear of returning to a wheelchair, should I fracture my other femur...on another staircase.

Important POSTSCRIPT: I NEVER laugh at the fears of OTHERS. I ALWAYS TRY to laugh at my OWN fears, although... Sometimes...It's Difficult, I must admit.

That's why I posted this thread on a Sunday. Sundays are good days for threads such as these. You can kick back, and think about your phobias... At your leisure. Nobody has time for phobias, Mondays through Saturdays...

Each to their own opinion. Personally, I laugh at fear. I even give fear the finger! Remember what we all studied in Psych 101? We are afraid because we run.

I have never contacted an Escort Service. What's it like? Are the girls educated? And, what do they talk about? Also, do poor people use these Escort Services?
