walk this way...

see the drunkard of the village, falling on the street, can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet, he loves his old laughing lady cos the taste is so sweet...

many moons ago, I was having a few beers at the Chanticleer (now Lucky's) in Montecito with a friend...afterwards I drove home...but I took the back roads because I didn't want to meet up with any cops....and I began thinking that I was playing a little cat and mouse game where I was the mouse....after some consideration, I decided not to drink anymore...I didn't need to, it was simple conditioning that says we must have alcohol when having dinner or in a bar....7UP is just fine...alcohol just takes up too much energy...

now there's a city cop that was arrested for allegedly jerking off outside or at the beach in front of two teenage girls...this is another thing I don't do anymore....cute teens nowadays could carry mace with them and..well..the risk: reward ratio is just too high...we adults are in a constant struggle to control our impulses, aren't we??

now speaking of jerkoffs..I think we've seen some in the news recently....Tony and Peter, and of course Steven Tyler, the once gifted singer from Aerosmith who recently fell down in his apartment and busted his face up.....we know Steven has drug and alcohol problems, so he was probably drunk when he beat himself up...

I think it all boils down to fear of authority and social anxiety..once you overcome it, you are less likely to act impulsively...because in the end, you're just looking to get caught..for some attention, like a liitle child looking for direction and help from an adult....

Overcome Fear of Authority

What effect do certain authority figures have on you?
Maybe you feel self conscious or perhaps they make you feel that at any moment you could say the wrong thing and get yourself or others into trouble.
Perhaps authority figures give you a vague sense of distrust or anxiety, making you unable to think clearly.

Respect, not anxiety
You may have been taught and conditioned to automatically respect figures in authority but respect can easily cross the threshold into fear.
We fear what is powerful and can potentially damage us in some way.
Whether that damage is locking us up or showing us up we can still fear authority figures without ever analyzing just why we fear them.

Authority figures as parents
Sometimes we learn to fear authority because the authority figures almost inhabits a parental role and if we we had strict, over-bearing parents they can push the same buttons.
Perhaps teachers at school were strict and taught us how to fear those 'in control.' Are your buttons easily pushed?
Many people who fear authority also suffer excessive guilt and are more likely to feel they have done something wrong even if they are not always sure what.....
well, never mind..if you fear authority this much it's probably because you're a wuss!

wow, it sure is nice weather lately....maybe I'll hit the beach today!!
