Jimmy Failla Is A Dick

This guy is a dick. When I first saw this story I hoped that it was fake. Like that one porno I saw where a guy went down on a woman for more than ten seconds. I mean, come on with that. That's not a real thing. Anyway, this New York cab driver named Jimmy Failla that calls himself a comedian and author decided to prank people by putting a big ass Burmese python in the back of the cab with passengers, locking the door so they couldn't get out, and filming it. Why? Read the first sentence of this paragraph again.

A prank to me is silly, harmless things. Not putting a fucking snake in the proximity of someone who is not expecting it. That's called being an asshole. These people are trying to get somewhere. No one rides cabs for funsies. Can you imagine trying to get someplace and suddenly a snake is dumped into the backseat with you? My reaction although I have no fear of snakes would be to stomp the shit out of it like I'm listening to Kirk Franklin. Jimmy is using the snake and passengers as a way to promote a book he is doing about conquering fears.

Fear Everything And Nothing

What is your greatest fear? Mine is heights. I confronted this fear by taking hiking classes and walking to the edge of cliffs and standing there cheering triumphantly. Watching the news will expose you to all sorts of new ways to know fear.

Don’t eat peanuts (and now pistachios). Don’t walk across the street because someone will hit you and toss you off the hood. Don’t hang out in anyone’s house that smokes since there is this new 5th hand smoke that can get you. North Korea now has a rocket that can hit the West coast. Don’t ski on bunny slopes without a helmet as you may get brain swell. Don’t drive because someone will t-bone you. What do you do in this dangerous ass world?

Nothing.

Keep doing what you do. It makes no sense walking around afraid of the world. The news is meant to not inform everyone about news in the world, but to make you dependent on fear. We live in a culture of fear that makes no sense to me. I remember hearing that humans are the only creatures that can make ourselves afraid. If Jesus fell from the sky right now and said, “Take my hand and you will live in peace forever…” we’d still be afraid and skeptic. “Can I bring my jacket with me?”

On the news tonight I cant remember there being one good thing mentioned unless you follow a sports team. Everything is just bad ass news. I want everyone to stop watching the news for a week and see how good you feel. I end up catching it on accident as background noise. But for the rest of the week I will shut it out. Let’s see how this goes.

Rockets.
