OKAY I didn't really expect to post much during my break and it is only the first day of break but there is something that I have to post about:

I almost died today (no, not in the biblical sense) I mean, literally died. I almost got killed.
How you ask? Well I'll tell you how.

I was out walking around the shopping area near my house because I had some stuff I needed to do... (well, really I just had 1 thing to do and some food to get). Anyway, I stop at the bank, deposit some money and withdraw about $20 for food and just whatever else. On my way from the bank to Happy Noodle House (great Americanized Chinese food) is when it happened:

It had begun to rain while I was in the bank and a steady stream of water was falling from the sky. By the time I left the bank there was about 2 inches of water rushing through the intersection of College Blvd. and Oceanside Blvd, probably the two busiest streets in Oceanside, and it is a big dip pretty much with the streets going upward 3 out of 4 of the directions so tons of water is going through this area. Anyway, I press the button to cross and the little green man pops up so I start walking across. As I'm walking across I hear this loud *BANG* and I look to the left of me and I see a car careening at me at around 80 mph... the driver can't very well stop because his stupid ass was going so fast he started hydroplaning on the water covering the street and he can't change direction very well because one of his tires blew out on him and he was practically flying at me sideways. Now, you would probably expect me to jump out of the way or something... that didn't happen. In a situation like that when you feel like you have a split second to react and you are pretty sure you are going to get killed, or at least seriously hurt and a few ton SUV is flying right at your face... you just freeze up... that's what I did. I just froze up staring at the car... right before the car hits me it spins the rest of the way so it is no longer going sideways, but hydroplaning backwards. The car passes about 6 inches away from me and the side view mirror pases like an inch or so away from my chin. I don't even think the driver saw me because he just drove up the hill near the gas station and got out to change his tire... asshat. Anyway, I might have pissed my pants I don't know as I was covered in water because when he flew past me he shot water all over me too and my pants were see through (ladies ;-)). So yeah, I was kind of in a daze and have been since then, but I still went to Happy Noodle House and got my favorite Kung Pow BEEF and it was to die for (lame joke I know) and um... yeah, thats my near death adventure. Scared the shit out of me and I'm lucky that car didn't hit me and I'm in a surprisingly good mood right now. (By the way this happened at around 2:30 or so, blogger wasn't working until now).

Moral of the story: BE CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN and be careful of fuckhat drivers who don't know how to drive in the rain geeze.
