a wreck.

i have been going back and forth on what to write… my heart has been heavy about the incident that occurred on ccu’s campus yesterday, but i don’t think i want to talk about it yet.

so on a bit more lighter note… i have a story (shocked?):

every day, i take a motorcycle taxi to (and from) work. i love it, and would much rather be on one of those than in a taxi. the fun (and dangerous) thing about riding on a motor-taxi, is that they can weave in and out of traffic to get you to your destination faster. and when traffic is bad, per usual, it’s like a maze trying to go around and between cars. i have the same driver in the mornings, so i feel like we’ve bonded – even though we never talk. well today, our relationship grew even stronger…

he was trying to get around a bus and decided to go around the right side. the only trouble was, he did not see another motorcycle driver approaching from behind… but i did. and so i braced myself for what was about to happen… which was a crash. i got in my first wreck on a motor-taxi, guys! i know, this should probably scare me, but it doesn’t. it wasn’t a bad wreck, although i think the other guy might have a bruise on his left leg… but other than that we were all fine. and since i ride with this same guy every morning, i can vouch for his usual awareness. is it bad that i really enjoy the danger of riding these things everyday?

oh yes, also, i talked with bradley hamilton on the phone (via skype) and it was the best conversation i have ever had in my entire life…. (happy?). he did mention how there wasn’t any juicy gossip to report… and then i told him it was because i wasn’t in the States anymore. [insert laughter here]. too bad it’s semi-true though. wahmp waaaahhh.

i think that’s all for the moment.

and since i’ve been in a gene kelly mood lately, here’s a classic:
