Re:The fragility of human life/intellect (Score 1)

It is truly tragic when something like this happens. I personally know what it is like to be in a very little car and get hit by a very big truck. I was stopped waiting to turn in my 1990 nissan sentra last august when a full-size GMC truck rear-ended me. He was doing probably at least 50. The whole back of the car was smashed in. If I would have had rear seat passengers they would have been dead or at least severly crippled. Thankfully when I was pushed into oncoming traffic by the collision I got hit by another car which saw me in time and was breaking when it hit me instead of a truck or something like that. Luckily I came out of the accident with only a fractured rib(which hurt like hell for about a month) and a severly bruised collar bone. I still have scar tissue on it probably will for the rest of my life. And as for the guy who hit me. Well, he was able to walk over and tell me he was sorry while I was sitting in what used to look like my car. He didn't get a ticket or anything. That kinda made me mad. But anyway, the point of this story is this.

Prior to the accident I was very busy...doing so many thing....life was way more complicated than it should have been. I was working 50+ hours a week and taking a college trig class also. It took know that I could have died in that accident to make me realize that there is a lot more to life than school and work. Sure programming neat stuff and working at all hours of the night might seem cool at the time but what is really important is that you just take time to enjoy the simple things in life.

Get well soon Jason!
