I'm all messed up today, so bear with me.

The hope was (since I just created this new account) that I'd be able to start posting my photos and other work on it soon. That might not happen now for a while.

A little bit of background; I'm the proverbial struggling artist (I won't say “starving artist” because I am a really good cook and can make something out of nothing) right now because I can't really work a regular schedule anymore. There's no way I can afford to keep a car, so I bicycle or take public transportation everywhere. If nothing else if reduces my carbon footprint and gives me really sexy legs.

But today my right leg isn't very sexy at all. In fact, my whole right side is kind of messed up because I was hit by a truck. Long story short...PUT THE #$%@ CELL PHONES DOWN, PEOPLE AND WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! I had been going through an intersection when a truck that had been stopped accelerated and smashed right into me.

What pisses me off about this the most is:
We were both stopped at the intersection. I know he had all the time in the world to see me and react because I'm a big sis-foot-three 250lb guy and he had to accelerate a full two car lengths to plow into me. Plus, in the 29'er I ride it takes some time to bring my bicycle up to speed. I know I shouted at him to stop, but between the visuals and me yelling it's obvious he wasn't paying attention to the road.

I am not going to make this much longer because I'm on 3 different pain medications right now and It's taking me a lot to type this because I keep on zoning in and out, but I am trying really hard to not let this keep me down. Besides, I keep forgetting what points I wanted to make. Hope to have the art up soon. I'll keep those that know me from my other sites posted. Thanks.
