A Nice Hard Slap - Nick's Daily Blog - Page 21

When I was 18 I was a passenger in an accident where the car got written off, but luckily no one was injured, it does shake you up pretty good. I remember everything going into slow motion, watching the cracks in the windshield creep across the glass in front of me, and loose change from the coin tray flipping through the air like they were in zero gravity, then hitting me in the face, it was all pretty surreal. The driver learned nothing from it, and is still the shittiest most reckless driver, and his rich dad got him out of any trouble.

Made me a perhaps overly cautious driver though.

I'm glad you and your family are safe, Nick. I've had a couple near-misses like that before in my life - alone and with family. I can understand the thoughts and feelings running through your person. It certainly makes you appreciate the ones you love and the experiences you have with them even more.

My best wishes to you and yours, Nick.

This blog really hit me hard.

First off I'm glad everyone is ok, you are a gentleman Nick and the world needs more like you.

As for the reason it hit me so hard it's because my Dad had a heart attack las Thursday so mortality and the time we have with our loved ones is really playing on my mind. He is on the mend now but it's this sort of stuff that makes you stop and think.

Nice blog Nick.

And about that near-miss car crash. Thank the maker - or whoever - that you and your family were ok. My son is 16 months old and I routinely curse the arrogant pricks - or bitches - who insist on driving down residential streets at 40+ miles an hour. The speed limit is 30. That doesn't sound like a big difference, but believe me it feels it if they are in a big 4X4. And what the fuck do they need those in West London anyway??

But I have to ask, Nick: If you were driving your daughter home from lunch why were you drinking a 'big glass of bourbon' ??

The whole family was there, and I had a drink but one drink means nothing to me and we walked around historic Roswell for a couple of hours after lunch. I have incredible tolerance, and one glass of booze is nothing. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to drinking and driving and would NEVER even come close to driving under the influence.

I see, got it. Despite being quite large I'm a lightweight when it comes to booze, in fact I hate to drink more than half a pint before driving.

Wait, people actually use "adult beverages" as an expression? In a non sarcastic way?

Huh.
