are really S C A R Y!!!

I’m not sure if any of y’all have seen them yet. the ones where the people are all going about their car conversations all non-chalant and whatnot, and then…

BOOOOOOOM! another car slams into them.

let me tell you now. I can’t watch them, last night I saw one of them again and I actually felt the impact.

I guess the accident I was in last year has had more of an impact on me mentally than I thought.

as a result, here’s a friendly reminder:

drive safely, don’t run stop signs and red lights, pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists on the road, and for Fuck’s sake, put the damn phone down!!! use a headset, because the kid who hit me was on his phone dammit. and now both me and my nephew, Shawn still are freaked out about the whole ordeal.

ok, the apartment is only new to me, because this building is a bit old.

I’ve been in the new place a whole week now and while I still have much to do…It is indeed nice to be in a warm, clean place. I never thought I’d enjoy living alone, but now I’m trying to sort out why it’s taken me so long!

If I can help it, I will live alone until I get married!

initially, I’ve managed to get tv, internet and phone working. the first few days, my computer was on the living room floor. Now it’s a little more settled and I’ve actually been sleeping in my bed in the bedroom. I’ve managed to get A-S of my cd collection unpacked, and now will have to set up my stereo gear. It’s slow going because I must take my time and not do too much or I’ll pay for it in pain and exhaustion.

I had so many great people help me move. IT was a stressful time (when isn’t moving NOT stressful?!) and I hadn’t completed all my packing when moving day came. I just physically couldn’t get it finished. I’m hoping to get back into physical therapy in regards to my car accident injuries soon. On top of that, it’s been discovered I have some auto immune disease related issues. I do hope in the coming months that I will be able to sort all of this health related bullshit out.

in the meantime, I think I’ll read the newspaper and take a break from the unpacking.

I heard “Feliz Navidad” on the radio the other day, since it is that time of year. and it made me think of my friend, Chuck Walton, who used to sing it to me.

my birth name is Laurice and he used to sing: “Laurice Navidad….Laurice Navidad…” etc. to this day he is the one and only person who’s ever done that to me.

the only other occurrence of this is when I was hanging out at McGuire’s in AC and the one and only Michael Dixon (from Bangor, Ireland) used to sing along when the jukebox would play The Clash’s “Death or Glory” and sang instead: “Death or Lauree”
