Either that or God REALLY likes me and really wants me to be up there with him.

Long story short, I was driving to school using the highway when this HUGE HUGE truck carrying like 4 truckbed loads of lumber made a 4 lane change right when I was right next to him. I have daytime running lights and I was right next to his door. The bastard still made a 4 lane change without signaling and almost runs me over. Thank god for boost otherwise I'd be dead.

Here's a picture of the 168 to 180 onramp. My path is red and the blue is the truck.



Obviously I got around the truck before he hit me. But it would've been super JDM dOrIfTownedness mAd TyTe if I had gone under the truck bed. I mean they did it in the movies, means I can do it too yeah?

This is the second time in one month where a truck carrying something almost nailed me dead. Why is it that only dangerous things happen to me when I'm not doing something stupid? Yet when I'm doing a 130mph midgnight run in the rain with bald tires, faded brakes, dead suspension, rusty frame and not wearing my seatbelt ABSOLUTELY nothing happens.

Captain Picard is far superior to Captain Kirk, this is fact--not conjecture!

Now I have to listen to as many other songs as I can to get that out of my head... or turn that audio clip into a 3-minute Picard Meets Ace Of Base remix!

I had a drunk driver pull into my lane one day. She drove me into the shoulder... then I got in front of her, and she was behind me at a red light.. When the light turned green, I sat there giving her the finger for awhile, until I was satisfied that she had received the idea...

Once I get this CD made, I'm totally blasting this in my car.
