OT: My injury |
I was on my way home from seeing a girl yesterday at about 10Pm, when I
started walking along a small roadside ridge about a half metre tall.
Completely sobre and in high spirits, I had no idea the roadsign had
been placed there yesterday and was at forehead level, and was
surprised that I hadn't seen it until after it made a gash in my head
the size of a Happenny at normal walking pace.
I may not post for a couple of days....owww.

I *HATE* it when that happens! I once opened the (top) freezer, bent
over to pick up something from a supermarket bag to place in the
freezer,
and nearly knocked myself out when I stood up under the open door.
Talk
about feeling stupid!
Amateur! I once had a spider run across my foot, so I jumped up, bashed
my
knee on a corner, spilled hot coffee on myself, jumped onto a piece of
broken glass, jumped back off of it and landed with my other foot on
another
piece of broken glass, stumbled back, fell over hitting my head and
pulled
a
pile of books down on me! My life is a Jerry Lewis movie!
Or there was the time I was in the act of coitus, when her ex-boyfriend
broke into the room....I jumped up and fell ***** backwards off the bed,
crashing into a book case, causing a porcelain unicorn on the top to
fall
horn first into my groin and smacking my head on the bed frame as I sat
up
in reaction!

When I was 5 I stood behind a kid on a swing. He didn't know I was there
and I didn't know he could swing so high. The wooden swing smacked into
my forehead resulting in a bloody cut that required 4 stitches. At the
age of 6 I was accidently pushed into the path of the same swing set.
This accident required 3 stitches right under my nose. At the age of
eight I was playing ball with a friend when the bell rang. I picked the
ball up from the ground and turned around to throw it to the friend who
in the mean time started to run for the doors. His forehead collided
with my mouth knocking me out. He required stitches (I have no idea how
many) and I ended up with 3 loose teeth and a concussion.
This explains why my idea of a good time is poking myself in the eye
with a fork.
The moral of the story is - If you get another sign from God, hide your
forks.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then where does evil come from?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

I've done that many times when I open a kitchen cabinet door and
forget that it's open.

"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is
a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the
crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due
to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious
indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility
corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of
nature and of our own being."

Oh, come on. Unless you blinded yourself, or you got hit so hard you
still think it's Friday the 11teenth and you're Donald Duck, there's no
need to abandon usenet. If the cut is gaping and doesn't want to close
itself, or you can see bone or like that, apply a great deal of
disinfectant and then glue shut with Krazy glue. If not, never mind.
It's nothing.

Hmm. Speaking of that sort of thing, I just got rear-ended by some
stupid Vietnamese kid in a riced-out Honda. He never even braked. I'm
beginning to notice a slightly sore neck, back, and left forearm. The
seat collapsed into the back, and the steering wheel is 90 deg. out of
it's usual orientation. I guess the left hand must have been the one I
was hanging on with. Better yet, it was a sedan borrowed from Mommy. She
wanted me to take her dog somewhere for her. She claimed she hadn't time
to walk it. Since her dog recently got sprayed by a skunk, there was no
way I was letting it in my shiny newish truck. On the bright side, I
suppose it could have been my truck that got totalled, not her crappy
Mazda.

It's been an interesting week. Mommy-dearest's computer died, too. It
was pushing 5 years old, and running a copy of NT my brother er, ehem,
something something, from a detested former employer. We decided it
was best to replace everything, but she wanted to keep a couple of her
ancient peripherals. Stuck with another Windoze box. One Apple machine
might have been made to work, but it would have cost twice as much to
do it that way. She'd never be able to figure out Linux. She can
barely use Windows. Oh, well. Not the easiest thing to find drivers
for the scanner, printer and SCSI Zip drive that would run under XP.
So I got to go shopping for most of a day, then hang out at her house
and eat her food for a day, whilst I set everything up. The left arm
is still kinda thrashed, but everything else is fine now. For once,
I'm glad work is slow. So I mentioned shopping. Probably as close to
gay talk as I get.:)

Five seconds in the microwave (on top of a coffee mug with a little
water in it) and you'll get good light show, and an antique looking
escutcheon looking thingy.

Perhaps not, but somehow I thought these words were appropriate
to someone who got bonked by a sign:

To your sign language.
You're taking advantage,
Bringing me down.
Then again, I know I'm going w-a-a-a-y out on a limb to
reference Bob Dylan these days. :)

I was on my way home from seeing a girl yesterday at about 10Pm, when I
started walking along a small roadside ridge about a half metre tall.
Completely sobre and in high spirits, I had no idea the roadsign had
been placed there yesterday and was at forehead level, and was
surprised that I hadn't seen it until after it made a gash in my head
the size of a Happenny at normal walking pace.
Oh great, now I've got that stupid Ace of Base song running
through my head:
I saw the sign
and it opened up my scalp
and I am bleeeding now
Anyway, take care.
Damnit. I have to find out a way to make you pay for that :)
Oh dear "lord", this isn't going to turn into another one of those
annoying song cascades...is it? Of course it is!!!!
"Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?"
/fundy
DUH! Watt's a sign?

You must have been at a high arc in your stride - sliding your
forehead up against the edge of the sign. Sort of my kind of luck when
I'm caught unaware.
Had a box of junk coming up the basement stairs, sober, hit my arm
against the wooden doorjamb; the angle must have been just right. I
was fortunate that I had a bunch of 3x3 and 5x5 gauze patches and tape
left over from eye surgery. (detached retina and vitrectomy)
Still have a nasty looking scar. It's not going away.
Avoid infection, friend - keep it clean and dressed!!
Cheerio!

In Scotland, I was carrying a large starter motor for an Onan
Generator under one arm and was going one-armed down the vertical
runged ladder when a boot slid on a rung with water or grease on it.
Needless to say it was a free fall situation with one hand trying to
grab any rung when my left knee impacted a rung under the knee cap.
That brought me to an immediate yelping halt and I grabbed the damn
rung and climbed down the rest of the way. I'm sure I was limping for
awhile.

Somehow my breaking my ankle while playing frisbee seems terribly

Ankles count, too!! It just takes any body part taking on an
inordinate amount of body weight coupled with inertia at the wrong
angle in any given instant. My high school shop teacher, returning in
the spring from a vacation and being an animal lover, put up a ladder
to fill the bird feeder, unaware of the ground's softness due to above
average rainfall that year. The ladder sunk, he fell, breaking his
ankle, and his wife ran out to help him and broke her ankle. You can't
make this stuff up.
People may say that god gives us tests, works in mysterious ways, etc.
The truth is that ***** happens, and no matter how our bodies came to
be, they get damaged, heal, and eventually die, and nobody can predict
or prevent it.
I found some ice when I got home tonight. Due to off-center force
vectors coupled with diminuation of coefficient of friction re my
footwear due to the aforementioned ice, my ***** succumbed to gravity
and traveled to the solid earth at a rapid pace about 2 hours ago, and
stopped instantly, resulting in energy being directed unexpectedly to
various body parts I'm sure I'll be able to identify tomorrow, no
doubt.
The 8-pack of beer I was carrying is extra foamy now, too, and Tylenol
PM is coursing through my blood, along with some alcohol. And, Damn
that 8-ball - I only got it in once today, dod gammit! But I made good
shots anyway. Years ago I played pool against a man in a wheelchair,
and once against a man with the lower half of his left arm missing.
And I'M bitching?
Yep, some ***** and moan, the rest talk about it and life goes on. Yep
- ***** happens. It bees that way sometime.
To paraphrase a comedian (Steven Wright, I think), each time you wake
up, you've set a new personal record of consecutive days of being
alive.
And when Poe was my age, he had been dead for about 13 years.
Aren't you really glad you know that now?
Peace, and stay intact and unbruised.

Surprisingly enough, that fall on the butt didn't affect me today. The
injury from the fall last Wednesday morning has been jolting me awake
repeatedly, but it'll go away and I'll be back. I tried some 8-ball
today, got my ***** beat. These people are league players and their lack
of disdain for my lousy performance today is encouraging. They all
remember their bad days, too - and they know that a large part of the
game is how to handle failure, too.
Thanks for the real good words!!! I'll be fine in a few days.
No genie in the sky to brag or complain about. Or to blame. Feces just
occur, and decent humans like you understand.
