So kids...i try not to use this as a soapbox but in this case it is necccesary.
Today i got hit by a car.
I was obeying all the traffic laws, i had the light, and i got hit by a car.
I also was not wearing a helmet.
By some miracle i was rushed to the ER and there was nothing broken and nothing to bad done to my body aside from some cuts and what will tommorow by some REDICULOUS bruising.
I cannot believe how lucky i am. If that guy had been going faster than 7 miles an hour, or if i had fallen a different way things may not have turned out so great. And the one thing people kept telling me was you should wear a helmet.
honestly the only reason i wasn't was because i dont have one at school and didnt wanna spend 20 bucks to buy one.but you can bet i will alway wear one from now on.
and this Public Service Announcement is just so everyone is aware that people really do get hit by dumb ass fuckers in cars all the time, and (at the risk of sounding corny) it can save your life
