View Full Version : Today I Celebrate A Special Day...
It's an anniversary of sorts...
It was two years ago on this day (August 10) I crashed my bicycle on the corner of 48th and Tenth Avenue.
I broke my left collarbone which required two surgical procedures and stainless steel pins and wires to put it back together again.
I made today extra special by staying the Hell away from my bike - I thought of going for a ride but I really didn't want to jinx myself.
With this in mind, I thought I would pass on to you some important safety tips.
1. Red Means Stop I cannot stress this enough. If you are going to follow any rule in your life, it should be this one.
2. Always Wear A Helmet And I just don't mean while participating in sporting activities. I mean all the time. Some are very stylish and can complement any wardrobe.
3. Cycling Shorts Look Good On Everyone But Me
Not really a safety tip, I have body image issues.
With that in mind, I hope all of you stay safe and use common sense in whatever activities you participate in, or you'll end up like I did; sitting on the couch for ten weeks with your arm in a sling doing nothing but watching TV, going out drinking every night, sleeping late every day, all while collecting disablity.
Stay safe!

no but you can have the rain, its been raining for days

Watching TV and sleeping all day...if only there was a less painful way to go about it...at least for a day or two during school.

Well...at least you had a good reason to break your collarbone...whenever my sister tells ppl how she broke hers they just laugh...a door fell on her when she was like...4.
