I got hit by a car going over 80 miles an hour on a road that was under construction so his tires blew out and he ran me over on the side walk. I luckily pushed my cousin out the way in time so it just hit me.
I also fell of a tree high up in the air when I was in 2nd grade that ended up ripping off all the skin on my face. 
I got stabbed by a sharp stick through my nose because of some kids playing star wars.
I broke my neck playing american football at a young age.
All those times I felt like I was going to die.

My goodness man! Get yourself a plastic bubble. You got pics of the gnarly scars?

When I was 10, running from a neighbor's house back home during a really bad thunderstorm. Lightning struck about 10 feet away from me. Something made me jump in the air at the time (call it a guardian angel, etc) Might have saved me from getting electrocuted. Yeah, I might have survived on the ground too, had sneakers on, but that was as close a call as I've gotten. I tell everyone that computers behave around me because I have an electrical charge from the incident. (I work in IT and people are baffled that their problems go away just by me being present ;) 

Although I have not been struck or near lightning afaik, I have the same gift. I do IT as well and have the same effect - things typically just work when I come by. Always baffles people.

I had a piece of re-barb get caught by a saw at work and it flung right past my head at deadly speed. Also when I was in that cave in Afghanistan

I don't know if it really happened, but back in the old days when I was 9 years old we had swimming lessons at school. We were kinda fooling around near the end of the lesson and I was at the corner doing some diving when some other kid jumped into the water and hit me. The next thing I remember is that I was lying outside the water while the teacher was beside me checking on me and some other kids standing around us. When it seemed I was OK they left and I was kinda alone. I went slowly back into the water asking myself what this was all about...No one mentioned that something like that ever happened to me, so I am not sure myself. Must be a fake memory.

Rule number one always check the wood you are cutting first.

My grandfather lost his grip on my inner tube in the ocean when I was like 2. Luckily someone who was out much further than most people would go was able to grab me before drifting further out to sea.

There are other instances as well I suppose, but those were within my control.

In the end, it wasn'y really that bad at all, but here goes:
Was driving home with a friend in the middle of the night, on a freeway, when the battery connection thingy in the car broke. So the car just slowly stopped. No lights on the street, and we obviously had no lights either. A car came from behind, most likely above the speed limit, and hit us from the side somehow. I think they panicked, and while trying to avoid us they went too far to the left and then came back to the right and rammed us.

I saw the car in the mirror, thinking "Its gonna hit us o.o" and I said nothing. My friend faceplanted the car panel, and the door was ruined, but that was pretty much it.

If they had crashed into our car from behind, or if it was a large truck or somehting instead, we'd probably be dead. Maybe, I don't really know ^^



At least once a week i suffer from sleep paralysis.. i wish it upon no one lets leave it at that.



I trust no one, not even myself.
