learn about dosages.  It WILL save your life.

This is what happened to me three months ago.  It was the tuesday before the new year 2012.  I went ice skating with my family in the midway. (Hyde Park, Chicago) I don’t get to do too many things with them now that I’m at University and have my own life and barely any spare time between working my terrible job in food service 20-25hrs/week and taking 18 credits. 

My 8yr old sister bekah was holding on to my belt as I was pulling her along the ice.  Sister stuff right??  Then she lost her balance and in her attempt to regain it, she pulled me down.  I just so happened to be wearing leather gloves, so when I put my hands out, they slipped right out from under me and bam!  My face hit the ice.  

The cut above my eye was surreal.  All i could think about was how much my knee hurt and how there would be a bruise for days!!  That was the least of my problems.  The interesting part is, I didn’t even know my face split open  until I saw my blood on the ice.  One drop.  That’s all there was, and it seemed like time slowed.  All of a sudden, i saw my blood pouring onto the ice in little drops. It was comparable to a rainstorm.I never lost consciousness and a good 8 hours and 2 hospitals later, I went home with 16 stitches on my forehead.

Looking back on this, I’m glad I still have my eyebrow and there was no serious head injury, but I’m also glad it happened.  Glad I got to experience it.  The feeling of slowing time is similar to the one right before you faint.  A calm almost. Can anyone relate??

This was my winter break during Junior year at Loyola. 

I would very much like to make a cut out of this and place it on some inconspicous street in the loop.  Sit on the side lines, get high, and watch all the cars and street walkers reactions to it.

If I tattoo myself, I hope it will be as artistic as this.  Otherwise I’d feel like I was ruining my body.
