Snakes and tall buildings. Not being on the tall buildings but being on the ground next to them and looking up at them fucks me up bad.

Snakes, I'm fine if I see them, I'm scared of the ones I don't see, the ones that surprise me.

Spiders, but less than I used to be. Centipedes are nasty little fuckers. Dentists, too.

Wait a minute here... you can't leave us hanging on that. That traumatic experience must be shared!!! PLEASE.


Side note... I'm betting that my roasted brussels with garlic, bacon, walnuts, and a balsamic honey reduction would completely cure this fear of yours.


But I gotta hear this story first.

All right... let me chime in here too.

Heights are my kryptonite. My knees buckle and I have severe mental problems when dealing with the heights issue. I even have trouble driving over certain bridges like the Skyway bridge in Tampon. I was in Charleston SC a few weeks ago and I had to pull over and let my wife drive over the new suspension bridge they have there (it's better than the old one that used to be there... but I say fuck both of them).

Anyway, several years ago my wife and I went to Costa Rica for our anniversary. My wife was dead set on doing this zip line that started on the top of a volcano in Arenal that was the world's highest and fastest zip line. She left out the part about it being the world's highest. So I had no idea what I was getting myself into. We were staying on the Pacific coast (Playa Conchal) and hired a driver to take us half way across the country to this fucking volcano. I wasn't going to wimp out despite my extreme fear. If I could tell you this story in person with my wife present... you would really understand the magnitude of the situation. So I fucking toughed it out and went with her.

Here is a video of just one of the stages of this zip line. I can't remember how many of them it takes to get to the bottom of that fucking volcano,,, but it was many. One of them reaches speeds of over 60 mph as I recall in my nightmares.

My wife is smiling and waving right in the front of this vid while standing on the edge of the "death zone". I gave my camera to one of the guides to video so that I could see what I went through later when I got home... that's because I fucking kept my eyes closed the whole time I was going across a line. If you look closely... at 37 seconds in, you can see a guy sitting in the back righthand corner of the platform staring away from the start of the zip line. That guy is me... I couldn't even look at it. The vid will show you just how high up it was. I did wave to him when he started screaming. Which you can see if you look closely... but I never looked.

This was extremely difficult for me to endure. I will NEVER go on another one. I took one for the team that day though.

If you're asking me...

I have absolutely no fear of flying.

Well, unless my Dad is the pilot. He has purposely scared the crap out of me many times through the years. I solved that problem though... I will never get in a plane he's flying again.

This probably comes the closest to me being afraid of flying, but even then, once you're up there, no reason to be afraid. You're either going to die, or not. So it's a 50/50 LOL.

Seriously, who gets on a plane or boat or in a car if Liam Neeson is a passenger? Its common sense.
