getting over your fears

props to mikey for the forwards....


one of my fears... well really just my OCD nature.. is that i have a hard time going number 2 in public places... i even have a hard time doing it at friend's places... i would rather drive home, do my business, then come back...

there are only a few places i could go that i consider "public"... work... becuase 10+ hours here... sometimes u just gotta go... and then the other place is "airports"... some would think that is the most public place u can go to... and if i don't have a problem there, then why do i have a problem anywhere else? well... i don't see the airport as dirty, i see it as clean... think this stems from my eurotrip when we would come to a train station or a airport, the first thing i would do is my business because i know that this will be cleaner than anything else i see during the day until i get to my hotel room...

so anyways... back to the topic at hand... back in UCLA, i did this psychological study to overcome your fear is to face it head on... one of my fears was public speaking, and so what they had me do was give a speech while being recorded, but the catch is that you can see yourself on TV... in fact, the study was that I was to maintain eyecontact with myself on TV, knowing that i was being recorded... it was pretty crazy, but it did help after a few sessions... i hated myself for doing the study at first but looking back i am glad that i did it... so how can this relate to public restrooms?

well ladies and gentlemen, i present to you... THE MOST public toilet... EVER





it is a public restroom made entirely of one-way mirros... you can see out... but nobody can see in... or... so you may "think" right? i mean, how can you really tell? what if as soon as your ass hits the toilet seat the mirrors will become see-through?? i've seen crazier shit on japanese tv shows...

anyhow... this public restroom is in houston... and a part of me wants to try it just to see if i could go through with it... HAHA!!!

this next one could be a bit nerve-racking... but i guess it would help for those who have fear of heights... or for skydivers who are always in for a rush...

imagine peeing and looking down seeing this



i wonder if i'd pee before i hit the toilet... or if i'd be so scared that i couldn't pee...
