Well, I've gotten to 40yrs old and I can look back at life and laugh about the good and various extremely wild times. Sometimes one will say, "God, how did we ever survive that" and although to some degree it is true, I think only a few times can one really say, "man, that was one close fu%&$ng call" and really appreciate the fragility of life. I really only can think of two times that I really have to thank something that I am still here, or at least not living life through a tube in a bed somewhere. One was a snowboarding incident about 15yrs ago and I think I lucked out not being a vegetable after that day, the other was a work related thing that lasted about 5 seconds 80ft up!!!! Well today the innocent act of pulling down coconuts for my girlfriend to enjoy fresh coconut juice, I was thinking to myself about the odd statistic of how many people are injured by falling cocos each year worldwide, and thought I made sure I wasn't standing directly under my intended victims. The first few cocos fell with one swift pass of my gaff, and as I bent down to move them to one side, a rogue 4lb coco fell off a different branch and squarely nailed me on the right back side of my head
just on the point of the bone back there. The fucker knocked my down to the knees and almost had me out cold, I stood up fast, did the obligatory look around a see of anybody was watching
and slowly made my way to the patio chair seeing shitloads of stars on my way there.That was about 2 hrs ago and I still am feeling the effect of the hit, I feel like I had the shit kicked out me, two teeth hurt on one upper side of my mouth, and one on the other lower side. My neck hurts to move it in either direction, my shoulders feel like I've been packing plywood for 40 days straight, my tongue feels a foot thick, vomiting might not be out of the question, if that happens, I guess I'll go to the docs for a headcheck!! The last hour or so sitting here trying to remember my name and gain my motor functions, I kinda realized that WOW, the freakyest(sp) shit could take a guy out at any given time. I've even warned people here about the danger of this happening, even got laughed at by one dude. Not saying this was bonafide life of death experience, as it would make classic comedy stand up shit to be the bearer of the bad news...."sorry Kurts family, he died at the hands of a mexican...........................coconut"
!!!! But I am feeling seriously a little lucky right now. I'm out to take a few advil and :pourit:
!!!! Did a quick look around and thought I was in the clear untill I felt the warm liquid running down my scalp. Wife freaked out when I walked into the house. Leason learned !!!!
