The Blink Of An Eye

I know it's cliche' but it's true; that's how quickly your life can change. I see that now. I also get the whole life flashing before your eyes thing... I guess I should back up a bit. Today started out as a pretty good day. It's my favorite Indian's birthday and I talked to him for a bit this morning which always brightens my day. The weather is beautiful and totally unbelievable out here. There's no way it's November. On top of that, my beloved Santa Ana winds are back with a vengeance and there's a full moon. So I'm horny as hell, but that's ok. I can live with that... Work was dead (as expected), but I still got a lot done. I got a pleasant surprise mid-afternoon when S-boy called and said he was back in town for an audition. Woo Hoo! We're going to try and get together tomorrow. Yay! On my way home from work the day took a scary turn. I was standing on the corner of Highland and Sunset. Then some idiot in a pickup truck ran the red light. He plowed into the side of a BMW that was going through the intersection and said BMW then encountered the telephone pole that I was standing next to. I barely had time to react. Had the telephone pole not been there I have no doubt that I would not be sitting here writing this blog post. So yeah, interesting day... I'm still all about the fuzzy puppies though. Probably even more so now. My happy things for today are Orville Redenbacher Kettle Corn and Virgil's Cream Soda. They make the perfect dinner for a girl who still seems to be a little bit in shock... I guess almost getting squashed by a car will do that to 'ya... Oh! And one more disturbing thing. What the fuck were the Ducks thinking?!? Who the hell trades Sergei Fedorov for Tyler Wright?!? Nothing against Tyler, but WTF?!? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid...
