Selachophobia

I have Selachophobia.

I am scared snottless of sharks.

I am working very hard to get over this...I have done hours of research, watched countless documentaries, and even visited small sharks at Big Al’s Tropical Aquarium store (oh sorry Blu, I meant Big Gal’s). Even the hammerhead shark/man/undead guy in the new Pirates movie freaked me out. I believe the more I know about sharks, the less I will fear them. As a result I know so much about these razor sharp toothed, blank staring solitary killing machines that I could write a book. Still this phobia persists. How irrational…I mean I live in a land locked province for bloody sakes, there are no sharks within a very large number of kilometres from here and since there is no such thing as a “Land Shark” I really just needed to get over it.

But I am not alone…..oh no my freinds….there are some famous selachophabians out there: Christina Ricci thinks sharks will find their way into her pool. Charlie Sheen bought a beach front house thinking he could get over his fear of sharks but it did not work and he moved inland.

Well, it is “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel running July 30-August 4. Look It Up…if you can….I dare you: http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/sharkweek.html

My Kind Of Club…

I saw a very cool hoodie a few days ago that I really thought was clever.

“Club Sandwiches Not Seals”

I want one. I want one but not because the hoodie was cute and would keep me warm but because of the message it conveys. I will not go into one of my usual rants about how humans can be so cruel to animals or my opposition to the Canadian seal hunt.... if you want to find information on this, check out the WSPA web page: http://www.wspa.ca/.

The Oddness That Is Me....

Sometimes I am at work or home with my head propped up on my left hand....I will look down for some reason....like to look at my keyboard...and I think the freckle on my left wrist is a spot of melted chocolate....I try to lick it off...only to be very disappointed each time...that freckle is definitely not chocolate....and with all the years of licking...it should be farirly faded by now....



I am so not kidding.....
