i was riding home from camp, along Commonwealth Ave West. going at about 28km/h. things were good. nice song was playing. i think it was jenny was a friend of mine (live at RAH).
looked up and saw taxi. about 10m away.
at this point in time i wondered if my life would flash before my eyes. sadly, it did not. all that went through my mind was "omg omg i'm going to smash into the back of that car omg omg how should i cushion the impact??". i got very very scared.
jam brake.
back wheel fishtailed out, front wheel jumped, and i halted about 2m behind the taxi.
after that for 5min my heart was beating like crazy.
right now, i am very sad that my life did not flash before my eyes. i wonder what it would be like.
OH MY GOD DES THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE ALRIGHT ): ):
ReplyDeleteYeah please can you try not to do that again??
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wonder if that ever really happens, the life flashing thing. I doubt it! What would the scientific basis of that be?
