why does this shit have to happen to me
so yea
went up to bulls yesterday to take damien home, had an awesome trip up,
i parked my car at the cow shed and we went for a run on the quad bikes,
so after that i was takin my car back from the cowshed to his place on a conspicious gravel road, naturally i go fast and do some donuts on it,
and appears this narrowish bridge, as im drivin forward and no longer doin my tricks, the car starts to fish-tail and i start losing control,
so naturally i apply the brakes, and the tyres eventually lock up leaving me pointed in the direction of the side of the bridge
bear in mind ppl that i wasnt intending of goin off the bridge, im serious
and so off the bridge i go into the dirty liquid that some call a 'stream', the forces fling my inside the car and i end up restin my arms on the roof, as the car landed on its roof with the bonnet pointing towards the ground and the boot stickin in the air.
in rushes the 'water' as the windscreen has broken, and thankfully hasnt shattered
heres the FUCKEN scary bit which will stay in my mind for a long time to come
as the water rushes in i feel the coldness cover my head (as the car is upside down) and the mirky shit-fest water go up my nostrels,
i panic, (of course) but eventually calm down enough to realise that this isnt the end of my life and there is still a chance of my life continuing
so i navigate my hands to the seat belt and after a quick breath-less scurry manage to get my self free,
i sumhow spun round and after wat felt like ages, and found an air hole
the strange thing was i didnt know it was an air hole but for sum reason i took a breath
so then! in fear of rising water, i had to find a way out > the doors, so i try and feel my way around the car to find the door handle
i hear damiens quad bike over the rushing water, and yell out 'damien!' and in a short while he climbs in the river and rips the door off.
i get the fuck out of there and grab all the floating things i can and dump them on the side of the road
and then the cleanup story begins, which i dont need to go into much detail about.
cept that i was covered head to toe in 'virtually' shit, tho it didnt smell, well, i dont smell now so im still approachable :P
so after i was all cleaned up at damiens place, we ventured back down to the car, which at that time had been pulled out of the water and put back on its wheels
sifting through my dead car and seeing possessions covered in mud ripped my heart out, u cant believe how much it hurt to see my things deemed useless
List of things off the top of my head that were damaged in the car
1: 027 Cellphone motherfucker that pisses me off, although my fone was a piece of shit, it means i gotta get a new one, and i just put $20 on it yesterday
2: my awesome black speakers, this is a bummer coz they were good as and gave my room a bunch of decibells more power with my rock music, now they are floatin in the river back in bulls, totally useless
3: my MP3/CD player worth about $160 which i managed to bring home, so i can take it apart and play with the motor hah, also the charge and remote and headphone for it are phukt
4: my wallet, that was in my pocket, all my cards, id's and paper things that were in there got soaked, still fixable but im gonna need a new wallet :( sadface
5: my schoolbag, which was loaded with:
: my jersey which now weighs 2tonnes
: my cd case, im gonna have to go through and have to clean all cds =.=
6: the most depressing thing (other than #7)>>> a plastic bag, that was open when i crashed, containing approx $80 in cash, mainly coins, this was my collected money to pay for the petrol. pretty much all of it left the bag and floated away, i managed to gather about $15
7: and of course the most important thing i lost, was the car, it currently sits on a field with the necessary stuff taken from it, with a huge, and i mean, HUGE dent from the middle of the windscreen and pretty much bends down to the back seats...
my injuries amazingly are limited to just a cut left palm, and a shaken mind with shock written all over my face
and to think, if i had been knocked out, if my head was slightly forward, i would have died.... drowned to death.... my biggest fear in the world is drowning, gimme a gun to the head anyday, i can handle that, but drowning....
most scary thing, object-wise, was that damiens new $1500 computer was in the boot, the only things of his that were damaged was the speakers for his computer, and his mp3 player
the end, tune in next time for "dangerous shit that happens to lyles life"
