[over the mountain]

i was numb to the pain there. i was in pain but so much pain and morphin etc i was a zombie thoo.

my chuck norris moment came 2 years ago during the playoffs. me and my girl are cooking all this food before the games, getting everything ready for an awesome 8 hours of football.

i try and pry off the top part of one of those glass peppercorn grinders with a screw driver. i crush the glass, my thumb is split the f open. blood all over the place. i know the cut is deep and not good. i know i should go to to the hospital but my girl is freakin and i dont want to go to the hospital and miss the games and ruin our perfectly planned day.

i say im going to the hospital, she should stay and enjoy the day. she wont have it, insists on going to.

so i say F it, i dont need stiches just a trip to CVS.

so we eat, drink watch the games. monday morning i act like im going to work but head over to hopkins to have it checked out. they said that i needed stiches but 2 days have passed.

that was one of those "fuck my bleeding hand, football is ON" moments.

to a point made earlier in this thread about how hispanic people were mad when you got pulled ahead of line for an emergency. the same thing at hopkins happened that time. im waiting in the waiting area to get a spot in the waiting room. (lots of waiting going on) full of crack heads and old people with breathing problems.

a nurse walks by me, stops, does a double take, then motions me over to the intake lady. they called a doctor from the back to look at me right there. after some tetnis shots i was on my way. there are benefits to being a professional looking white guy.

sorry i talk so long on here fellas. its what i do when im at work
