what are you afraid of?

[layinback]

No limbs cut off in bathtubs?

well as a mater of fact, i've witnessed an amputation. surreal now, unimaginable. i've seen violence that eclipses anything in a movie.
i was more afraid of my fellow criminals than law enforcement.
contrary to popular belief, we ALL did drugs. imagine a group of
psychopaths with closets full of cash, kilos of cocaine, thousands
of quaaludes and machine guns.............

scarface was unrealistic on so many levels. most notably was how
tony montana would go on pedestrian drug buys. anybody in the
business will tell you that *the boss* would use cowboys for buys
and other grunt work. the final scene where an army of assassins
descended on tonys estate is completely lame. a simple pipe bomb
or a hit at a restaurant would have sufficed. the idea was to minimize
heat and make money

I saw someone get stabbed in the throat over $40. I'm sure it is insane when large amounts of money are involved.

 

[layinback]

somehow i doubt most cocaine dealers looked like pancino and steven bauer...

actually you might be surprised. there were plenty of good looking guys
we had TONS of cash and cocaine. i was personally banging 5 chicks a
week on the average. well, toward the end i had no interest in women
or sex. an oz of coke a day will have that effect lol

 

[GUARDIAN]

heights & small spaces

.... well, toward the end i had no interest in women

never will be my problem!

 

[milo hobgoblin]

what are your fears? how do you deal with them?
i believe most men have a difficult time admitting
that they have fears. women seem more open and
honest about anxiety and fear. i guess this is natural
but none the less, unfortunate.

fear is the corroding thread in our fabric that
short circuits our ability to move forward and it
stops us from realizing our full potential. until
it is recognized and dealt with, it wields a lot of
destructive power.

i believe a lot of folks here are on some form of an
acknowledged path of change. changing your body
through fitness is usually an indication that something
deeper is cooking.............

losing my freedoms to a socialist and tyrannical government.

 

[layinback]

i imagine you had to deal with certain shit as a result

never had any problems and there were plenty of white guys in the trade

our entire crew was white. the cubans were typically level headed and

damn good business men. they were very friendly and would close a 20

key deal while playing dominoes lol. the columbians were loose cannons

in general. if someone owed money and were a lil late, these fuckers

would still fuck you up or kill you..........after you paid them!!!

not to mention they had poor personal hygiene. no shit they all smelled

of body odor covered up in old spice after shave lotion.

all the pilots and BIG BIG dealers i knew were white. we purchased from

columbians and cubans. never encountered one black guy though.

 

[Spartacus]

oh god that in the joint story makes me so hawt

lol

 

[stilleto]

i was in the import business in south florida early - mid 80's.

ah.
my father was in prison with noriega (in florida) for the same reason. Homestead.

 

[the_oak]

Ultimately.....failure to achieve my objective.
I have faced my physical fears one by one until there was nothing left.
Now there is just the psychological.

 

[heatherrae]

I have a fear of drowning and sharks, yet I'm an avid scuba diver. Go figure.

I fear failure, and that holds me back lots.

I fear stupid things like renewing my tags. (I know that is weird) I cook up weird scenarios in my head where I end up going to jail for an oversight. lol.

I'm weird.

 

[Raptorex]

Don't worry about sharks. It's the spiders that want to KILL everyone. A spider once kept me on my front porch(groceries in hand) for about 30 minutes! It was jusr sitting on my door handle...just giving me the evil eye. Finally, someone showed up and killed it for me but it still sucked. I had been throwing stuff from the grocery store at it, trying to make it leave. I was throwing rolls of paper towels, a box of garbage bags, and a bunch of other stuff. My night was ruined. I'm not even gonna go into the shower/spider story.

"Our most tragic decisions are based on fear"

^^ I said that. LOL

I have never been more terrified of life than I am *right now*.

I have to find a way to not be, or I will fuck up my dream.

oh lol this sounds like something I would do.

Except one type of spider. The 'hanging out on the wall' spider that never moves. He's friendly. The small cute looking one.

 

[cindylou]

I have a bad fear of heights

public speaking

It's funny because tarantulas don't bother me...maybe it's because of the pretty hair they have. I am HELLA scared of all other spiders.

being burned

we probably all share this fear. i always had this fear for

my boys when they were little. in our home it was understood if

dad caught you with matches - lighter or any fire source or combustible

your ass was going to be on fire

 

[drsketch]

Last year my neighbors house caught on fire, the neighbor I share a yard with or used to share a yard with.. By the time the volunteer FD got to the house flames were through the roof, it was the worst morning I ever has in my life.. and even worse for the neighbors... Insurance covered them though and they rebuilt so all is well.

You're no fun. Some of my best memories growing up were 1.) simulating a napalm attack on my GI Joes with a lighter and a can of WD-40 and 2.) starting a bonfire in my driveway with a magnifying glass.

 

[myway]

being burned

I have bad dreams about people thinking I was dead while still actually alive. I could feel the burning of cremation and the feeling of 4ever being trapped in a coffin. I think I'm gonna demand a tomb...just in case.

 

[the_alcatraz]

too much fear up in here

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

snakes, alligators, excessively hairy people...

I have terrible nightmares about my friends selling me out and me getting my ass kicked and possibly hurt really bad.

I use to do the same thing with my mom's hairspray and I would act like I was godzilla and melt all my lil plastic Army men.

[AztecWarrior]

I fear nothing that can happen to me but more what could happen to my love ones. I'd gladly go through life in pain if i knew my family were taken care of and were safe for the rest of there lifes. I love my family very much.

I once had a pet tarantula. I like spidies.
