Near Death Experiences
Today I almost died. A giant truck came speeding around the corner as i was crossing the street and, no joke, stopped just barely 4 or 5 inches from me. My only reaction was to put my hand up as if to say "sista, please" and look at the truck in a slightly annoyed manner. For a moment I really thought I could stop the truck with my hand and immediately after the event I had the following two thoughts:
- Man, can't believe I just thought I was going to stop this stupid truck with just my hand. Who do I think I am, Superman?
- Hmmmm, I wonder if the new Superman movie comes out in Chile this week.
If I had died my last thought would have been about the new Superman movie. I need to acknowlegde my cat-like reflexes and to appreciate how important my life has been to me that when I am faced with death I think about something completely insignificant. I don't even like Superman! Then when I told people about 'the incident' later on you can take a wild guess what they said...."Oh, you have to be careful." Did I mention anywhere that I was THROWING MYSELF AT SPEEDING TRUCKS? No sir, I don't believe I did.
That's all I have to say about that.
- E
p.s. The guy who was standing next to me on the corner before I almost died was totally fighting with the truck driver about it afterwards because I — being a freak and at the same time totally freaked out — just kept crossing the street. I just want to say I appreciate that guy because he really gave that truck driver a piece of my mind, except for the Superman bit. He kept that to himself, thankfully.
