I should start this post by stating that I’m not hurt and I’m feeling okay at the moment.
Today was going just fine until my bike ride home. I was riding along on the sidewalk minding my own business when all of the sudden a black Alfa Romeo (I think) quickly pulled out of the parking lot and blocked the sidewalk completely. I was only a few feet away and there was no chance of stopping in time. Regardless, I hammered on the brakes anyway but ended up crashing into the front fender of his car. Upon impact I was ejected from the bike and ended up on the hood of the car. It was a horrible experience. I’m not exactly sure how it all went down as things are a bit of a blur. I was shook up and trying to gather myself when the driver got out to see me. He asked if I was okay. Luckily, I was wearing my helmet and biking gloves so I didn’t even suffer a scrape. The driver parked his car then came over to get my name and contact info. I got his info also. According to his business card, his name is Joe Ravi, he is a real estate agent, oh and he’s a douchbag! He had the nerve to ask me who is going to pay for the damages to his car. I was still very shaken up and didn’t have it in me to laugh out load at him. What a joke!
My bike now has a bent front wheel, twisted handlebars, and the gears aren’t changing correctly. I might have to go buy a new bike.
Anyway, I feel okay right now. I think I’m going to the university health centre tomorrow to see a doctor just in case something is wrong. Also, I plan to file a police report sometime this week. Great fun!

I cannot speak of this event in your life in front of mother or else she gets all riled up slash teary eyed. I hope it does not happen again. I also hope that douche gets hit by someone else's car and is seriously injured.
Spencer, i too was hit by an oncomming 4 wheeled automobile, it was a truck actually. After that moment in time i was never the same. I was sure that the reason i was still alive was to make life better. That was why i took 3 years out of my life and became a monk in the highlands of Scotland. I made wine there for over half of my tenure as it was very hard to become a wine master in a short amount of time. Sadly one night i was up late in the winery and one of the elder monks caught me drinking some of their finest port's and singing songs with some of the local barmaiden. -
I was the first monk that had ever been fired from the Monastery... They said that i was a very good person, and that i had a kind soul. They said that there were bigger and better things that i needed to acomplish with my life.
Then, i found your blog. -- Keep on blogging mate.
P.S: Watch where your going next time you douche, i cannot belive that you dented his car!
Nice way to start off the blog! Good job! It's good you didn't start off with the following:
"I got hit by a car today. I don't really remember what happened..."
That would have freaked just a few peeps out! I'm happy you're okay. Just remember that it was a close call and you're LUCKY that you didn't get hurt. And then remember to pick up a carton of $4 eggs and go egg that fucker's house! JJ! :)
getting checked out by a doctor and filing a report or claim is a good idea. i'm still a bit gimped from getting hit in november
