Ticks

Isn't it great to fear? Fear pumps us up! The adrenalin rushing, to sweat without a purpose, the tought of what a wonderful life we could have had just going through our minds in a second... The fear of speed, the fear of heights!! The numbness we can feel just by looking down... Aaaahhh... A joy of life...

But if fear is such a great thing why do we have to have phobias? Can't we just live with fears? Wouldn't that be great? Phobia, a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous, so says Mr Google and he is correct, as always...

I don't like Ticks! Well, it isn't that kind of normal fear we feel... It just messes around with my entire body and mind. Has anyone read Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer"? I started it a long, long time ago but after a few pages I just threw it away to a drawer. The damn kid was exchanging a Tick that he kept in his pocket with a guy! That's the only thing I remember from that book... And although I love pets, whenever I see a Tick on them I tend to avoid the animal for days.

I'm huge in comparison to a Tick, I know that, but when I see Ticks killing giraffes in the National Geographic channel I really have to wonder if size doesn't really matter... Everyone knows that we can't kill a Tick just by stepping on it and that it can reproduce herself if its whole body isn't taken out from the animal where the unholy bug was and that is if we can find it in time. So the thing is: will I be safe if a Tick gets me? Let's just hope that Ticks have a HUGE phobia about me...

When reading Mr Google's saying, I realize I'm just a normal person... Ticks are just my thing, my phobia! I can find a million reasons to run away from the blood-sucking and disease spreading Monster but I can also see how the Tick can be harmless... Well, at least I'm not afraid of fireworks!

Let's just all hope I'll be able to fall assleep tonight, me and my harmful bugs free cat... Both in my bed... Both with our eyes closed... In the pure darkness... Withouth seing a thing............ OK, I'll just go watch a movie instead!




And I've kept another one of my promises... To you
