this morning while longboarding to catch my bus i performed what can only be described as a valiant effort to emulate superman. i was cruising along, not paying much attention, when all of the sudden i realized there was a garden hose crossing the path of my immediate future. without hesitation, i was hurled from my chariot into morning traffic along cornwall ave. i don't know if this is something unique to me but it seems whenever i am put in a situation where i am no longer supported by the ground against my will, time seems to slow down. as i was attempting to defy gravity i happened to notice that the bus, which was careening toward the curb in an attempt to avoid turing me into road pizza, was in fact the 331, the very same bus which i was planning on boarding. had i not hurled myself in front of the bus i probably would have missed it as there was nobody at the bus stop and this guy was hauling ass. i guess the world works in mysterious ways. long story short, i fell, bus stopped, i got on the bus, and i have a skinned knee........... and then i found $20.
