Some weird stuff has happened in the past two days.
Yesterday while I was getting my mail, this guy ran up to me and handed me a business card. Then he just stood there and didn't say anything. I was like "...ok..what's this?" and he said "uh, it's my new business venture" and there was akward silence. Turns out his new business venture is a lingerie store...
TODAY, I was riding my bike to my car to get to work. I went off the sidewalk to pass this guy and then started to go back on the sidewalk. You know how when your tire gets stuck in a rut or runs paralell to a curb it really fucks you up? I completely WIPED OUT off my bike at top speed. I mean we're talking body-catapuled-feet-through-the-air fast.
It was crazy, but it was over in a matter of seconds. All those years of martial arts training really paid off, I ducked and tumbled without even thinking about it and just rode out the impact in a series of full body rolls across the ground! I sat up completely unharmed, facing my bike 5 feet away.
Completely exhilarating!
I'm such a badass, I can bite it on my bike at top speed without so much as a scratch. But that doesn't protect me from the awesome power of the corporate office filing cabinet. DAMN PAPER CUTS.
