Earlier this spring, my friend Garret got into a car accident that was caused by a drunk driver, and a couple days after they were saying he will never gain 100% of his body use back. And he just posted a 20 second video on FB of himself, he's strapped to a wheelchair and is wearing hand braces, and the only thing he says is "They said I'd never lift my hands. *raises arms* "Happy 4th of July everyone."
I feel like such an asshole after watching the video, I'm gonna try to go see him tomorrow.
I love feel good stories like that Go inspire him some more
I actually met him during Red Fang at mayhem fest two years ago, became pretty good friends, I didn't see him much up until before the accident.
But he seems to be doing better than everyone was expecting him to, which is great, and he just asked his girlfriend to marry him recently and she said yes, so everything will hopefully turn out ok, despite the shitty situation.
Not that easy unfortunately. If it wasn't known I work at a fireworks store so we have been balls to the wall all week. I'm in rough shape right now with a sinus infection and I have a heat rash all over my face. With this heat rash on my face it makes me feel wicked self conscience when I'm talking with people because I can only imagine what they are thinking.
But yeah as far as why I can't call out is because I'm one of two people who work there all year long everyone else is part time pretty much just for this week. So I'm the guy that has to work the floor and run out back to these huge containers that get hot as fuck to grab more fireworks and stock and whatever else.
Pretty much I don't want to leave them in a tight spot right now.
Death is not the worst of evils.
You can't be down, when you're always high.
I use to drive a Peterbilt that said "Little Donkey" on the sleeper one summer when I was working for my dad. I didnt have a "handle" at the time and didnt really care, just wanted to make extra cash, so everybody called me Little Donkey.. >:P
The day you need a gun and don't have one, may be your last.
