There are only a handful of things that I couldn't live without: coffee, food, water, xanax and above all: air conditioning. I dread the summer sun like Nosferatu. I hate being sweaty and get paranoid about smelling although I shower 2-3 times a day from June-September. So, I'm all about the AC....you get it.
Ever since Rich White Fucker raised the price of gas to near European levels, cabbies around NYC have been skimping on the AC in order to get a few more miles out of their tank before they get pump-raped again. I just can't take it anymore. I feel for you dude, but you've been roasting and ripening in a yellow sweatbox for a 12 hour shift and when I get in the back seat it feels and smells like someone locked me in a supermarket dumpster on a 100 degree day. I know some of that hot funk is going to get on me and my clothes and when I'm around friends I'm going to smell like cabbie pit and ass--and I can't live like this. See you in September.

Truth! Preach on, my brother!
Also, after all these years of KNOWING they are not talking to me but talking on their headset to their third cousin in Sutanuti, I still think they're talking to me when I first get in.
And what do they put on those backseats? Astroglide? Every time the dude jumps a curb or cuts off a rival cabbie I shoot from side to side like I'm riding the Scrambler at Nelly Bly.
I love summer. I love to sweat, and I think I smell great when I'm just a wee bit funky. You've seen me in such a state recently, fresh from a hot wet bike ride. Yum. It feels like the whole world is about sex.
I know you find me disgusting, and I feel for ya with the whole big dude in the hot sun, but I'm never more active nor feel more alive than when the thermostat's in the 70-100 range. Anything below and I have to break out warm clothes, and anything above and heatstroke becomes an issue.
But I hear ya on those cabbies. I always demand they put 'em on. I also make them turn their fucking radios down, and if a guy's not using a headset I order him to use both hands when he's driving or no goddamned tip. I'm merciless with cabbies, but I tip really well.
Are you a reptile?
I hear u about the heat and its aphrodisiacal effects but other than that: fuck. that. noise.
Nothing turns me on more than some crunchy leaves, a cool breeze, warm brownies and a fucking nap.
Fall is coming... look busy.
My name is Robert Kegan and i would like to show you my personal experience with Xanax.
I am 19 years old. Have been on Xanax for 60 days now. I have periodic panic attacks, particularly at social gatherings, riding in cars, and walking into rooms full of people (i.e. late to class). I felt that the medicine worked, but I felt that it created urges to take more than directed when the rebound anxiety hit, so I switched from alprazolam to clonazepam (Klonopin). I think xanax is great for airplanes and adjunctive treatment with ssri's, but by itself I don't think xanax has much too offer except as a short term treatment for panic attacks, klonopin is less sedating and seems to prevent future anxious episodes without causing cravings, and tolerance seems to build up much slower than xanax does.
I have experienced some of these side effects -
I sometimes felt invisible, like nobody could notice anything I was doing. Occasionally it would make me fall asleep if I had to stay in one spot for too long. After a fairly short period of time I would feel moderate rebound anxiety.
I hope this information will be useful to others,

I was suffering from panic attacks for over a decade. I am now 39 and towards that time of the month it becomes worse. Today I went to the doctor to get some Xanax and I was surprised to learn how fast acting it is. I fell like I could go to sleep though. But I sure am feeling better already.
