Hello Xanga! It’s been a while since my last post. I wish I can say that I haven’t been updating because my life has been so filled with many wonderful events. But unfortunately, the only thing my life has been filled with is work. I’ve been getting skinnier by the day, losing more and more hair, and I think I’m starting to get acid reflux. (BTW, … what’s that valve on your esophogus that closes to keep the stomach acids from coming up? Is that called the epiglodus (sp?))
Things are unusually slow for a change today, and so now that I have some time, I’m finding difficulty in trying to think of something to write. It sucks when all you do is eat, sleep, and shit, work. I swear, … I’m so stressed, I even dream about work.
But enough about me bitching about work. I did see something interesting yesterday. I witnessed a guy get run over by a taxicab.
It was scary and funny at the same time. Yeah yeah, … now before you tree huggers start getting on my case about how sick and demented I am for being able to find humor in such a topic, let me explain.
So I’m driving in the city, sitting at a red light. As the light turns green, I see a tall, skinny, goofy looking guy come running across the street from my left trying to get across. He sorta reminded me of Clay Aiken, except with glasses. So naturally I don’t go on the green and let him pass. As he’s running across my car, a taxicab comes racing up from my right and *SCREEEEECH* *BAM!*
The guy goes flying about 4 feet backwards and lands on his ass. Everyone stops. The cab, the guy, the people on the street, … me. I’m sitting there with my mouth open in disbelief, thinking to myself, … holy shit, … I’ve just witnessed a man getting run over by a car!
But before I even have a chance to gather my thoughts, … the guy just *pops* back up again, …. does the little crouch over while sticking out his hand, almost like a gaining composure sort of a gesture, … and then hurriedly says, “I’m ok” and continues to run across the street.
And that’s the funny part. It’s the way he just *popped* back up. Like his cat-like reflexes just kicked back in again. Am I mean? Whatever.
But then I thought to myself, … what the fuck?? This guy can’t smell money even if it ran over him! HAHA! Get it??!! Get it??!! It ran over him! Get it??!!
Oh btw, … help a brother out. Sign this petition please. As Starsky would say, ….
Do it! Do it! DO IT!!

i’ve heard that kind of reaction is pretty common and that you don’t even feel the injuries until later. he’s an idiot.
its the lower gastroesophageal sphincter
and yes, GERD or acid reflux disease is very common and very bad. i have it pretty bad – i’m going to be on medication for the rest of my life. you have to avoid the following:
chocolate, vinegar, citrus, caffein (especially coffee), carbonated drinks, fried foods, and (the big one) NO SPICY FOOD.
if you keep eating/drinking whatever you want, and the symptoms get very bad, then you’ll end up like me where i throw up for no reason because of it. boohoo.
you’re losing hair?……gotta start using rogain…or nioxin…it really works..
hey bro acid reflux is bad……. I’ve had to deal with acid reflux for some time and still do.
epiglottis prevents food from entering the larynx and the trach while you’re swollering. it helps food go down the esophagus instead of your lungs
i don’t get it.
are you kidding me? if you dn’t stop correctly my grammer; i’m going to kill you!
and your purpose would be to…? be completely annoying to your fellow peers? haha so kidding.
i don’t get it…..ha.
heyyyy…so THAT’S what acid reflux is? looking at one of ur comments, i think i might have it too…crap.
That guy shouldve asked for the taxi’s ID and stuff. He might be injured but don’t know it yet.
this post is gay!
epiglottis
That IZ funnie…wonder if the cops were on him or sumthing….
or worse.
his EX. lol
Hi hyung. It is called the Esophegeal Spincter. Just took human physio last quarter. I hope it is just a passing phase for you. Don’t stress out too much! Take care Dr. Eveeel!
Embarassment + Adrenaline gives superhuman strength. That guy could have five broken ribs and popped back up like nothing was wrong simply out of fear of being a fool. Jokes on him. He was most likely very far from alright.
But for all you folks who think he could have gotten paid… I heard back when Giuliani was the big man, NY made a deal with cab companies – capping damages at $10,000. Meaning getting hit by a cab really sucks. But that could just be a rumor. Anyone know?
it was probably because he was so shocked by the whole situation. he was most likely in a lot of pain 30 minutes afterwards. my friend got hit by a car and the same thing happened to her. immediately, she got up and said she was okay and walked away. 30 minutes later she was sobbing and in pain. it’s the shock of it all.
HEY YOU!
new post w/lots of pics… check me out!
happy birthday!
happy 30TH bday…..hhahahha i love saying that…..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
you’re old… hahahaha

I once saw a guy get hit by a car. He stayed down for a few seconds and then got up. I think he was really really drunk, though. Probably saved him some of that world of hurt, at least for awhile. Police showed up, etc.
I hear it’s your birthday. Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday, Susie’s fiance.
