You wait until I tell you about the Grizzly bear!!

Wow so much has happened in the last couple of weeks eh? The trip to Canada was pretty damn awesome but I have over 2gb of photos to process and once that is all done..only then can I sit down and type about the awesome.

Other pretty cool things have happened too, like driving down the motorway, having a 70mph collision after being hit by another car, spinning across three lanes, being hit several more times by oncoming traffic, also at 70+mph, flipping over and rolling across the hard shoulder before sliding down an embankment on the roof. Then finding your car filling with smoke and being unable to kick out the windows like they show in the movies (lies!!1) and having to wait for the people trying to rip off your door to get you out. I mean that was cool because I am here typing this now. I didn’t get the life flashing before my eyes moment, I just got the things I wanted to acheive flash before my eyes whilst thinking fuck..will I be able to do that?

7 other cars were totalled. Mine the worst. But I walked away with nothing more than whiplash, cuts and some pretty special bruising. Everyone else aslso walked away with nothing more than some shaken nerves and damaged cars. All four lanes of that motorway got taken out.

Do you know what else is special? A few months ago the warning light on my dashboard came on telling me that my airbag (it was an old car..i got one airbag lol) was no longer working. I couldn’t afford to get it checked out so I pretended it wasn’t there. Guess what? The airbag deployed and was the reason I could walk away from that crash. Plus the fact 100m down the motorway and I wouldn’t have slid down an embankment, instead it would have been a bridge.

Like the ambulance guy said. If you don’t believe in miracles..you better start now.

Happy note? I will have photos of Canada for the next post!
