Almost dying is one of the best experiences you can ever have. This is the second time that I’ve almost died (as far as I can tell) since I’ve moved out of my parents’ house. Very few people know about the first. I’ll share the second one now. It happened this past Thursday.
I went out to Chipotle to pick up lunch for my cubemate, another coworker, and myself. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
As I was driving back, I had to make a left turn at some intersection. I was waiting behind two other cars. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
I wait about 5 seconds then look up at the traffic light. I realize that the light wasn’t on. That’s strange. I start looking around to see if anyone else notices this.
Next thing I know, I hear a loud bzzz-bzzz-bzzzzzzz sound and my car starts shaking. I look around to see if I could see anything. Nothing looks out of the ordinary but now the traffic light is flashing red.
All of the other cars are still sitting at the intersection. I decide it’s time for me to flee the scene.
I get out of my lane and pull up to the intersection. I make sure no cars are coming and fly out of there.
I don’t know what happened. I told people at work about it and they came up with all of these crazy theories about what it could’ve been.
I don’t care what it was. All I know is that I almost died. And since then my life became so much better.
I went to my favorite Thursday night hangout spot and got shown mad love. Unfortunately one of my old friends is now pissed at me and I don’t know why. Blame it on the Grey Goose.
I got to the airport 20 minutes before my flight was scheduled to leave and still made it on my plane. I did this by asking the lady who checked by ID and boarding pass if I could skip the security line and get to the front since my plane was about to leave. She looked around and said there were only two lines and she couldn’t do it. So I got in line like everyone else. Then a guy in a wheelchair came wheeling by with the lady behind him. She waved me over and let me jump the line with him. Awesome.
I went to Lord & Taylor and found an awesome polo shirt. When I went to the register to pay for it, random couple behind me asked me if I wanted a 20% off coupon. Then when I was paying for it, the lady told me I gave her 31 instead of 26. That’s because I had two five-dollar bills stuck together. So I got 20% off and found 5 dollars.
And a few more things that I won’t post.
But bottom line, I recommend that everyone almost dies at least once. It’s not fun when it happens but things do get better for a while. Or maybe it’s that you’re more aware and more grateful of the little things when they do happen.
Be well.

[...] But on the same day which I almost DIED!!!, I talked to some hot 40 year old lady while I was waiting on the bartender. [...]
Hmmm…so this is how you almost died. I wonder if it would’ve been better to hear it or if reading it was enough…
However I give you the story is the best way for you to get it!
