I never thought I would live to see the day...
Something happened yesterday...which I knew, sometime before I died, I would have the not-so-pleasurable chance to experience. People tell you things, about how they have never done this or done that...and it blew my mind, because I thought that everyone slipped up once in awhile. I don't know I guess deep down I thought that maybe for once I wouldn't have to feel uneasy and disgusted by what happened. I know many of you out there are wondering..."well, what the hell happened?!"...and some of you already know! I don't know a polite way to describe it...it was atrocious, yet hilarious, like I said something that I thought I would learn about, let alone be there to witness it!....
so last night.....
I was walking out of the computer center...(what danni did you think this was gonna be about you?)...and apparently my mo-jo has been off or something, because I went to walk up this incline to a set of about five stairs. Around stair number 2, I caught the tip of my toe, stubbing and losing balance...from here it was such a flurry of events that I am not sure if this is the correct order or not...After the split second it took my toe nerves to register the war of stabbing pain being waged by the concrete stair, I tottered and for that brief moment thought, I had saved myself from complete embarrassment...was I wrong. As my weight shifted once more I tumbled forward reaching for the hand-rail to catch myself, while trying not to slam my left hand, and cell phone, into the waiting concrete wrecking block. At this time, my upper body is about parallel to the waiting stairs...shit!... my knee slams into the corner of the next step...my left hand (and cell phone) scraping across the top of the case, meanwhile the last ditch effort of grabbing for the rail misses, but it didn't miss in a way that I just fell onto my knees and hands....no that would be too simple....I missed, but simultaneously wrapping my right arm around the rail and slamming the inside of my elbow into the cold steel prefabricated column. The right side of my body, now hinged around the hand rail, scrapes my hand and knee across the cement, until I come to rest...I learned about this a long time ago...The law of inertia, a body will stay in motion or rest until it is acted upon by another greater force...well my body swung around that hand rail until my head found a greater force...aka the cement post that held the rail in place. That is right folks I managed to not only hit my left hand and knee but also to scrape them up, while also bruising my right inside elbow, and obtaining a large lump on my forehead! What would be the first thing you would do?...Nope didn't do it! I got up and walked to my car while laughing and continuing my conversation. It wasn't until later and early this morning when I felt the true pain of the fall...it sucks getting old!
So if you ever say that no, something like this has never and will never happen to you...be careful for what you wish for...I got knocked the "shuck" out! (Thank you to the age old classic..."Friday" if you haven't seen it, we may not be able to be friends anymore!)

"sucks to be you"
and maybe if you gave me the credit is due me.....I would be nicer :)
