Blog 54: Game

When I was about a freshman in college I was at my best friend’s birthday party.  His party was a lot of fun there was cornhole, volleyball, and every other activity you can associate with birthday parties.  Anyway my friend said to try and do this trick called “Thread the Needle”, if you are not familiar with this is a video of what it looks like, go to the 49 second mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvnc5i-zv8E.  Anyways like everyone else I tried and in doing so I broke the ring finger on my right hand, but not only did I break it I fractured the growth plate as well.  I was in finger cast for about two months and it was very embarrassing telling people how I broke it.

I used to live in a Caribbean Island called Saba when I was a little kid while my dad went to medical school.  While there we would catch geckos with super long strands of weeds.  I would always hang mine over my shoulder and whenever I would look back he was moving because I was moving.  Turns out I killed a shit ton of geckos back in the day without realizing it.

One time Senior year of highschool it was very early in the morning and I was very tired, but I backed out of my driveway and what happens?  I hit the mailbox clear off the post.  I was late so I left it, but when I got back my dad had fixed it already and said he thinks someone went and batted our mailbox off.  I didn’t tell him it was me.  He never found out till a year later when my brother ratted on me.  Good thing they didn’t care anymore and they thought it was hilarious.
