Cyanide and Happiness: Car Accident

When A House Happens To Block Your Path

Yeah, it doesn't happen very often, but sometimes when you're driving down a stretch of highway, and a house just happens to fall in front of you;  My suggestion is... you run into, and through the damn thing.

It apparently happens in Russia quite often. LOL.

Drive Recklessly: Not Every Person Is A Good Person

Okay this PSA (Public Service Announcement) is wrong on so many levels, but I couldn't keep myself from laughing.  I'm sorry, but this bitch could have saved millions of lives!!!!

What a Hot Mess: Sewer Geyser Destroys Car

Next time you parallel park, make sure your car is not parked over a sewer drain.  I hope this guy's insurance company covers sewer geysers.  What a Hot. Fucking. Mess!

Mind-Boggling News: Man Faces 10 years in Prison and Up To a $10,000 Fine

So... I'm reading the Houston Chronicle this morning when I read the most mind-boggling news ever!  No, really.  

Long story short, a man got pulled over by a cop early Tuesday morning for having no headlights on (been there, done that), and he noticed the man's face was bloody.  He looked outside the vehicle, and noticed his front windshield was caved in.

I know what you're thinking... blah, blah, blah, we've heard that before.  Well, get this...

The cop also saw a body on the passenger seat, partially under the dashboard, along with a severed leg.  So you can just imagine the shock the cop must have felt, because I'm in shock just writing this.  Jesus.

According to the investigation, the man struck a 32-year old man whose ford explorer had broken down on the side of the road, and continued to drive 3 miles before he was pulled over.  The missing leg was later found at the site of the explorer.

Furthermore, the Police said the driver told the deputy he had hit something on the freeway and that he didn't know the victim was in the passenger seat beside him.

This is just horrible, our hearts and prayers go out to both families.

The driver now faces 10 years in prison, and up to a $10,000 fine.  Pretty steep, don't you think???

So Long As I Live

Yesterday, as you may recall, I made a promise to myself that I would never text while driving again.  

As I got into my car, and drove out of the parking garage at work, I received a Facebook message alert on my phone.  I immediately picked it up, and by force of habit started to reply, while at the same time looking down, looking up, "making sure" I didn't pass a stop sign, and run over a pedestrian.   At that time, a lightbulb clicked in my head, and I remembered, NO MORE TEXTING.  "But it's Facebook, I'm not texting anyone," I told myself, as I continued towards a stoplight.

Without hesitation, I immediately, and purposefully threw my phone the furthest away from me that I could - onto the other side of my passenger side seat (where I knew I couldn't reach it).  I assured myself, that I wasn't going to risk my life or the lives of others any longer.  I made a promise to myself, and to the world yesterday, And I was not going to break this promise.

In a few months, my sister Victoria, will be giving birth to her firstborn child -  Ryan and I will become uncles for the first time, and there is no way in hell I'm going to risk losing each other's lives, because I played with a piece of technology.  I think I can last 30 minutes to an hour without a phone, it will not kill me, but driving with it will.

At 6:30 PM today will be one whole day since I've stuck with my promise, and I will continue to do so, so long as I live.

If there is one video you should watch, this one's it - it's chilling, it will make you cry, and it will affect you in more ways than one. Please watch it.

Kill Your Friends, Kill Your Family, But Don't Kill Mine

Okay, I'll be honest.  I haven't been a strong supporter of this, because I'm always fumbling with my phone while driving.  I'll say it again, I text while driving, And so do many millions of other people around the world, primarily teens.  After watching this video, I'm seriously re-evaluating how I use my phone while driving, and this includes multi-tasking.

In this UK public service announcement, a girl is texting her friend James, while her other friends are in the car with her. Within seconds, she's not only managed to kill her friends, but she's managed to kill several other people on the highway, including the parents of a baby and a child.

If you don't want to see the video, because you feel what I'm saying is rubbish, then your life, your family's, and your friends' lives are in your hands.  After watching this video this morning, I can promise you now, I will never be texting while driving again.  And if I'm driving with others, I will let another passenger text for me while I drive.  Three weeks ago, a co-worker's son lost his God-daughter to texting and driving.  It was really hard watching my co-worker grieve during this period.  I can't imagine losing someone at the young age of 17, it is beyond anything I could ever comprehend.

DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE!
