i hate flying in airplanes

tomorrow i leave for texas for a week.. im flying in a comercial jet liner then we land in houstan then a turbo prop or something small to dallas..

i hate flying.. i dont enjoy it.. how can people enjoy this kind of thing.. couple miles up in a metal tube in crampt spaces.. the only part i like is landing.. and i hate take off.. which i get to endure two times tomorrow.. i bought a book to keep my mind busy.. but i dont think that will work.. ive tried the dramamine stuff.. no use my will to not die in my sleep keeps me awake.. maybe ill take some tomorrow so ill be in a constant drugged state.

Drive? I've come to dislike flying too. Some guy tried to take away my cigar cutter at the gate. Lame.

I have become phobic of flying...I have flown, but ever since I got cable TV and watched several shows over the years showing how little it takes to make a plane auger into a cornfield at 600MPH I'd just as soon avoid it altogether.

What kind of competition requires a hacksaw? I hope it's robotics.

I would say just have a drink or two before you get onboard but other people might notice.
