i've always hated 'em. . .
you need them to get places quickly, but-
in a single instant, it could be te last time you go anywhere-
because everyone is stupid.
you, me, that kid next door with the missing spinal cord problem?? everyone.

i went running tonight. it was dark as usual.
i think i only ran six miles, but that's not the point.
i get to this street that's freakin' busy. lots of lights.
so, i'm about to cross some street (perpendicular with the busy one) that doesn't have a light, and some car pulls up and decides to turn right at the
same time that i get to the street. i sorta hopped back and started to
run around behind the car. . .
well. while i start doing this, some really awesome guy decides to turn
into this street from the busy one, and within a second, i'd be looking
in the middle of this muddy brown suv's headlights.

in all seriousness, i have no idea how i dodged the frikkin' suv. i didn't
panic or anything though. that's probably what did it.
i just reacted to the situation

in the end, the suv lovingly honked at me, and i politely waved back, and we all lived happily ever after. or not.

cars. the necessary vehicles of potential death. everywhere.
i have crazier car vs. runner stories too.
