  • Be careful about what you say......

Well, I have to tell this story, its just too weird and ****ed up to not tell.

Last week, here in Denver we had a strange accident. A brand new Nissan crashed off I-76
into a bunch of propane tanks. The 21 year old driver was doing over a hundred, and was
taken to the hospital with serious injuries. I remember turning to my mom and commenting
on how stupid the driver was.

I didn't think anything else of it, crap like that happens all the time across the country.

Well today I got a text from a friend, telling me he just got home and to google his name.
I had not heard from him for over 5 days, and had no clue where he was. Still, I was not
worried, I'd lost contact with him for about 2 years prior to finally getting a hold of
him again.

So I google his name, and low and behold, the first ****ing thing that comes up is this
crash in I-76. Turns out my friend was driving the brand new Nissan to the Dealership for
work, and decided to test it out first.

I didn't even know a good friend of mine was in the hospital. Not to mention my personal
comments about it on the news.

Thankfully he is home now, and while contacting him is hard because he is in such great
pain, at least I know where to find him.

He is lucky to be alive, not to mention he has used up more lives then a cat at this point
(flying off the motorcycle under a truck used about 6). But damn, talk about the news
hitting close to home. I think the next time I see something like that I'll insert my foot
in my mouth before I say anything.

Those be fighting words...

*edit* Someone edited their post... Don't insult fleets. It's just not right. If the fleet has
wronged you, there are better ways of resolving the issue than to spew random
comments in a thread that has nothing to do with said fleet.

I'm not saying that he is not dumb for what he did.

It was stupid, even he admits it. I just regret saying rather harsh things about the
accident, without knowing it was a good friend.

I know what you're saying. My girlfriend carries a deep burden similar to your situation.
She was young and her and her brother got into a fight. She said "I wish you'd die".
Little did she know those were the last words she'd ever say to him. The next day he
died of cardiac arrest while swimming at school. A genetic disorder.

Be glad your friend is still alive. It's probably best to avoid harsh words all together. I
slip and say things that are extreme at times. But I always try to remember things like
this.

I saw that on the news :P

I'm glad no one was seriously injured, especially since a lot more loves than his were at
stake.

I stand behind your first thought. He did something stupid and everyone and his mom should
say how lucky he is and not to do something like that in the future. And then we should
all take careful note not to follow his example.

a responsible friend would not hesitate to tell him how much of a ****ing moron he is.

i drive my truck across this nation everyday and the amount of stupid people behind the
wheel never ceases to amaze me.

he is lucky to be alive, and should have learned by now to SLOW THE **** DOWN!
