Claustrophobia

Hey guys,

I was in my building elevator today and a previous memory came to my mind. It was a time when I was with my brother and friend in Baha and we got stuck in the elevator of this empty hotel which used to be a hospital. I was so scared, primarily because I thought we were going to plummet to the ground floor. I was also scared because I have claustrophobia, which means that I am scared of going into closed, small, tiny spaces. I was scared at that time because I thought I would be stuck in the elevator forever!

I dont really know where this phobia came from, but it exists, and sometimes I have really bad dreams of being buried alive in a grave or a coffin and I am screaming my lungs out and no can hear me. I hate it so much when I am lying in the open grave and I see everyone standing six feet above me, looking down on me, and I am screaming my soul out and all they can see is a dead me. Man, I get so scared.

Anytime I am in an elevator, or going through a small tunnel or a narrow passageway, I get scared. I feel like I will be trapped and will not have air to breathe.

Man, its scary if you think about it.

The Pinky Finger

Hey everyone,

you have to help me guys. I see a lot of guys here in Dubai and Saudi who let the nail grow on their pinky finger, which is the smallest finger on their right hand! Does that mean anything? Are they trying to get a message across? I had a meeting with someone today and he had a grown fingernail on his small finger and I so wanted to ask him but did not. Please help me!

Alone at the Shopping Mall

Hey everyone,

I remember one time I was at a shopping mall in Jeddah with my family and we were one of the last ones to leave. Since the food court is opened longer than the shops we were hanging out there. The path we took to walk back to the main entrance was an awesome one. Why? Becuase we were literally the only ones there and all the shops were closed. There was that eerie feeling that there could be a mad-man at the next corner, or some wild beast following us. However, the experience of being the only one at a three level mall was somewhat exciting. I wished I could have run off and spent the night alone at the mall. Would I be scared? What if there were some wild people on the loose there? Wait a minute! There is a movie based on the premise! Dawn of the Dead! But what would be exciting is that if I were there alone in the mall and I could make use of the all the shops– hang out at the electronics store, watch TV in their home theatre display case, try out the new clothes, eat at the food court, play endless video games, sleep on the bed at the furniture shops– maybe there should be a reality game show based at the shopping mall!

Anyways, I am out of here,

Delicious…

Hey all,

Have you ever noticed how in the cooking programs shown on tv, every single time someone who has a taste of the dish made, goes: “mmmm-hmmm, delicious” without even swallowing the first bite. Its like you have to say that the dish is delicious. Have you ever heard someone say: well, the dish is not tasty! The typical positive reaction of people tasting the food is annoying me!
