X

Listen to the Beach Boys "Just Because"

Listen to this because it's my ALL TIME favorite Beach Boys tune.

‘WHAT ARE WORDS?’

X is for XENOPHOBE {someone who has the fear of people who are different from them self}

XENOPHOBE what a strange thing to be. Where I live, in the Caribbean people are different. Very few people are actually native to the island I live on. Many of them come from other islands in the Caribbean, some from the US and other countries. It should be an interesting mix but I have found that there are many a XENOPHOBE here. I’m wondering, if you’re afraid of people who are different, why on earth, would you come to a place like this?

I read an interesting story yesterday; a little trick that might work great for a XENOPHOBE.

This guy goes into a bar…not any bar BUT XENON’s Lounge in Reno, NV (a real place or so I’m told. Sadly, it’s not there anymore.) Anyway…after a few drinks (alright a lot of drinks) said guy plays the same song over and over and over and over again in the jukebox, until he clears the place out of everyone who unlike himself, really likes that particular song. I don’t think he’s a ZENOPHOBE but this little exercise would sure help anyone suffering from this little phobia clear a room of folks different from themselves.

And you thought X was going to be hard.
