** She said she was eighteen **
Have you ever done something so dumb you were ashamed to admit it? Not me, i revel in my stupidity!
Last year on the fourth of July, my cousin had a party at his house. It was designed as a family/friends party and lasted all day. The family came during the day and barbequed, you know typical family 4th of July stuff. Then when the family left, the friends stayed on and the real parting began. Two kegs, firepit, jacuzzi, the works. The barbeque was kept lit all night, and most of the guests were too.
Also at the party, was a trampoline. This in itself probably wasn't the best idea, but coupled with booze AND that someone placed a kiddie pool right next to it . . . this was obviously too much for me to handle.
I felt myself being slowly drawn by it's power and before i knew it i was bouncing in the air. Bouncing, bouncing, and then flying toward the pool. Aaaaggghhhh, splash. No harm no foul. The crowd roared. It was great, and i should have left it alone.
Never one to tempt fate, i climbed back up to the launch pad and decided to try something new. Let's say . . . a 1¼ flip pening up to a belly-flop. Sounds like fun huh?
What really happened is i over-rotated, pulling a 1½ and landing on my neck. A hush fell over the crowd and I woke up the next day with blood dripping from my ear, and took this as a sign to go to the emergency room. I had a ruptured eardrum, i chipped a tooth, bit my tongue and my neck was sore too.
I think back on it now and realize that it really was a dumb idea to put that pool so close to the trampoline.
I think there's video out there somewhere, i'll try to find it if anyone's interested.

** My Favorite Sites **
How do you get to know people in this day and age? How do you really find out what makes them tick? In days of old, you could talk to them, go to lunch with them, watch them from the tree outside their bedroom window, or steal and read their diary. Today, they give it to us, freely. Aren't we dumb?
I thought i'd present to you the list of sites i frequent. I visit these ones almost everyday, and won't bore you with the standard ones, like Google, MSN, and Howtomakeasandwich.com. Here's a little glimpse into my mind. Please don't leave any nose prints on the window.
This poor (FUNNY) guy is a huge black man in Japan teaching English to (what we'd call) middle school children. They have this game he loves to play . . . it involves his ass and their fingers. No it's not MJ, i'll just leave it at that . . . Kancho!
Sweet! Astronomy pictures. APoD
I send a lot of people here to settle bar bets! Most excellent movie trivia site. It's probably superfulous that i even mention it. IMDB.com
Do you have red blood? Are you and American? Skip this one if you don't like baseball, Commie. MLB
DUDE, Did you FEEL that????? Earthquakes
Do you like retards? Have you seen them do funny things? It might take you a day or two to read through these, but you'll thank me later. (This site hasn't been updated in a while, so i don't go to it everyday) but start with Riti's archives, and be sure to read her disclaimer BEFORE you get offended. TardBlog
Of course there are others, but this is a family site. What? It's not? Perverts.
And finally, the really wierd sites i go to:
