Hypochondria & Cell Phones

I developed hypochondria at age eight. During a family vacation to Niagra Falls, we went to the Ripleys Believe It Or Not wax museum. One of the displays were of kids that have the disease Progeria, which is some rare disease where they age seven years every birthday, so even though the kid is the size of an eight year old, he looks like hes fifty. It was intense and traumatic and I was convinced I had the disease.

Forget that it was rare and that only one in every ten million people are inflicted....hence the reason why it was in the Ripleys Believe It Or Not museum, rationalizing logic doesnt apply when your eight. After all I believed in flying reindeers, being inflicted with an illness that actually exists not that far fetched.

Anyway, knowing that I was sensitive on the subject, my older sister put baby powder in my hair while I slept. Then when I woke up she acted all distraught as she brought me in front of the mirror, and pointed out my head full of gray hairs.

I was horrified! And as I ran my fingers through my powder was coming off my head! I figured it was a sign of aging. Old people have dusty heads, I dont know, I was dying and that sucked!! Anyways after a couple hours of constant crying my sister let me off the hook. Looking back on it couple hours? kinda excessive?

And because of this experience I have a hypochondria of brain cancer, and thats why I wear an earpiece when Im on the cell phone.

Censorship


Some people believe Censorship in America is needed to protect the children, but break it down logically it makes no sense. The argument for censorship is that “kids are ‘impressionable’ and they watch television, they see violence!” All right they also watch television and see Vin Diesel, Jennifer Gardner, people with incredible physiques, yet American youth ‘obesity rate’ has never been higher; yeah, I don’t think these kids are quite as impressionable as we’re led to believe...
If you want to take something off television for there safety, start with a Bacon Double Cheeseburger commercial...."Wanna buy ice cream? That’s a two week waiting period Junior."
“But when kids fight they use Guns!?!” Well, that’s because they’re to lethargic to use fists...
Besides Children’s Fairytales are horrible stories!! Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, there all the same, where some young hot chick, for whatever reason ends up unconscious...and the only way to save the day is when some ‘dude’ she doesn’t know kisses her on the mouth...

Yeah that story happens in real life, than it ends a court of law... “Your Honor I know that I do not know that woman, but she was unconscious and I was trying to help!!”
You know like the movies, kiss her on the mouth, music starts playing, animals are dancing...” Well none of that shit happened, so I panicked and got scared...so I really tried to wake her up.”
