Hello! My name is Steve and that's all I am willing to share for now. When I'm not updating this site, I enjoy playing guitar, watching horror movies and using company time for shameless self-promotion.

Fear of Regifting

Both the regifted and the regifted can experience a Fear of Regifting. Roles can also overlap when someone gives a gift to someone they initially received the gift from. This pseudo-swap creates a perfectly awkward circle of gift exchange. Receiving a gift you know you don’t want and need to pawn off on someone else […]

Fear of Time

“Time and tide wait for no man”. This is a proverbial way of saying “you’re not that important and life will move on with or without you”. Ignoring the self-esteem crushing aspect of that message, there is an important point about how time will continue to move forward even if we don’t want it to.

Fear of Spending Money

In today’s economy, it is more socially acceptable than ever before to spend money on things you don’t actually need. You might be inclined to make an impulse purchase only because someone suggests a good idea mid-paragraph. For example, when you read “you should go buy the first Things I Fear book which is available

Fear of the Cloud

The cloud is not your run-of-the-mill Fear. While most Fears are tangible objects to be afraid of like Jell-O, or Snakes, some can also be frightening concepts like public urination. Or the ever-awkward family gathering. Or in this case, the cloud.  Having a Fear of the Cloud means you not only acknowledge there is a

Fear of Clowns

When you picture something that makes children happy, clowns do technically check off a lot of the boxes. They are colourful, energetic, make a living through slapstick humour, and wear comically large shoes. Of course, clowns are also downright creepy and should never be left unattended with children. It’s a weird paradox but it makes

Fear of Texting First

In a world where people spend less time staring into the eyes of another human to converse and spend more time allowing their phone to do their bidding by communicating through the internet, instant messaging apps and text messaging, it’s no wonder society has developed an obsession with their phones. More importantly, it’s no wonder

Fear of Halloween

Remember when you were younger and there would be that one kid who would say, “what the H, E, Double-Hockey Sticks!?” and you would have no idea what they were trying to communicate? Halloween is spelled like that too what with the H, A, Double-L, O, Double-U, Double-E, N. Of course, nowadays no one speaks

Things I Fear Reviews: Anacondas: Hunt for Blood Orchid

When a terrible script, awful acting, and an illogical plot meet, they can create something truly spectacular. This movie is a masterclass in all things that can go horribly wrong in the Horror movie genre. It’s also proof of why a single half-decent idea can spawn some of the worst knock-offs. Here is the Anacondas:

Things I Fear Reviews: Midsommar

Okay….okay. Okay so this was one of those movies where you kind of get the feeling it’s going to be really bad and then all of the sudden get the sense it’s going to be really good. Then it ends and you’re left wondering what just happened. Prior to watching it, I’ve heard good and

Fear of Voting

Whether election day is around the corner or you have at least 4 years before the next one (assuming no impeachment or other creative ways to get someone out of office), the idea of having your vote be the difference in who wins or loses can be terrifying. Therefore, having a Fear of Voting just
