im goign to get really psycholo... psychologika.. ...thinkie has there been a point in your life when yousuddenly see htings clearly, you know like a wakeup call mine was last xmas when i came off my bike & was out for a fraction of a second, when i came round i saw some people standing over me calling an ambulance & asking if i was alright life was jsut really clear it was a shock to the system & since that point i have always lived like i would die that night but planned like i will live forver. anyone else had a moment liek that?
Yes I had one back in 1993 when I lived in South Africa, had a huge accident on my racer bicycle, hit a car and almost died, I have cool scars now :dude: I was also shot at (but luckily missed) a few times back in SA too.
I will! I can't say I have had a turning point. But I've tried to live "realistically" in any case. I guess the only way I can explain it isn't so much "live as if you'll die today" as much as it is "You're going to die soon, you'd better get s**t done before you go."
Had one of those moments when I was 11...flew out of a driveway on my bicycle and got sideswiped by a motorcycle. Had a respect for how brief life is after that. Ironic that most of my enjoyment now I get out of my motorcycles. Wouldn't mind checking out on it, either. I'd just feel bad looking back on my life and thinking that I went out wrecking one of my beloved machines.
Nope. I haven't... But something close. Just don't give a **** as much. Like, uh, "friends" and the popularity contest in high school, all that stuff...... I don't care about it. It doesn't matter and it won't matter. Get a few good friends and get through the dumb ass collective we call high school.....
Skateboarding I was holding onto the car on a skateboard going about 40 mph. When I started to get squrrelly. I let go of the car and started to slow down and regain control when all of a sudden I swirved out of control and slammed into the road at about 30 mph I'm guessing. I made it out with just a scraped knee and arm but I could have died if I hit my head. Ever since then I try my hardest to drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour without puking. So far I've drank the whole gallon of milk and made it 2 hours before puking. - Repress

Me it was when my cousin died from leukimia (sp) at the ripe ol'age of 9, and another cousin of mine died at 14 months... something about those small caskets. Since then I've lived life knowing that you can be gone at anytime. It made me realize that family and friends are the most important of all, I don't let things like work or **** like that get in the way.
I got hit by a car when I was much younger, about 5 or 6 ? I was crossing the road. I was crossing on a similar road to that above, and the guy indicated left, so I started to cross, next thing I know I am flying through the air, went quite a way as I recall (but then I was small) Took the idiot some time to stop, went to hospital and after a load of x-rays I found out that I hadnt broken or fractured anything. From then on I thought I was invincible, until recently, I was opening the bath room window and just pushed on the glass, my hand went straight through it and it caused a nice couple of DEEP cuts on my hand and arm (all the way to the bone). Its all better now... you have no idea how hard it is to use a computer with just your left hand (if your right handed)... brushing your teeth with your "other" hand... try that go on go on Fortunately I can write with both hands
just got a dremel, hacking up a new case with one of the crappy normal wheels, no goggles and the disk shattered. i felt it shoot past my forehead and thought "that could have been my eye" and being blind would f**k up your life.... so now i wear goggles yea.. i lead a sheltered life
everyone has different things but they all centre around mortality or making life difficult another one of mine was when i was rally young i was born deaf & the doctors said i could gain hearing but if not i would never learn to talk, one day snap i could hear everything, took ages for me to learn to talk tho. i kno how bad it is not being able to hear but it must be worse for people who lose there hearing, sight, whatever in an accident as they knew what they were missing, i did not until that one day wierd huh
i slashed my hand open due to the actions of a bully (god i hated school) & damaged 2 of the ligaments for the fingers on my right hand & im right handed it makes ti difficult to type & i hope i never get into a fight as icant fully pull those 2 fingers back ps im ambidexturous as wel - i can write **** all with both hands
Heh heh, man I know what you mean about the hearing thing, even people who wear glasses can feel like that, as we know what we are missing, but heh such is life. I hated bullies :/ I went to two secondary school, got bullied a lot at the first one, so became a loner, got to thank those bullies actually for I wouldnt know as much about computers now as I would have if I hadnt speant all my lunch times and crap in the library. The school tried to expell me on alligations of copying word 7 to a floppy disk .... just goes to show how stupid they are/were, so I moved school, at the new school within the first week some kid smacked me in the face and knocked me to the floor. The two schools are in the same kinda area so their mates must have told them I was a bit lame. I wasnt gonna get bullied again, so I kicked the utter crap out of him, he was in a wheel chair for about 2 weeks. What their friends at my first school forgot to inform them about was that I was a 3rd dan brown belt at karate at the time, and had just started urban combat training, goes without saying that no ones picked on me while I been at that school since then. The members of the PE staff put me on the Rugby team, and the school boxing club the next day heh heh ALevels are over now, so no more school WHEE And now I am a 3rd dan black belt, and have 3 stars at urban combat, and I box at amater level.
