One Crack of Ass Late Night, On My Way back to College from Summer Break. I was once almost killed! Veering onto a highway…A 16 Wheeler Mack Truck almost tore my (then) 1990 Nissan Maxima (this was in 2000) into Metal Confetti. Optimus Prime was Going at least 90miles per hour, didn’t know it was possible. In a fit of rage I used the only feature on the car worth mentioning, the sunroof for a very good purpose.

I sped up in front of the Mack Truck being sure to let the driver know how much of a “fill in the blank” he was, by putting my best “3rd Finger Forth”. I was soooo upset, my heart was jumping like MC Hammer in the early 90′s, from the thought that; I REALLY ALMOST LOST MY LIFE!! In a fit of RAGE, INSANITY, and PROTEST. My whole arm and hand was petrified through the roof of the car. As I drove in front of the truck for miles to come, just to let him know how much of a jerk he was on this late nigh lonely highway of just me and him.

I allowed the wind to massage my forearm and middle finger as my heart finally begin to slow, like MC Hammer’s Career.

The thought occurred that maybe the Truck Driver had seen enough of my middle finger as I had traveled, at the very least,8 miles in front of him.

And as I emphasized my distress,I thought when I come to a place of tranquility I will one day put my finger down. I had turn on my music allowing the music to soothe me while my finger waved in the air like the American Flag on the Forth of July.

In fact I even seen fireworks in the review and side mirror.
Wait a minute!!

Yep, you guess it, the Police strobe lights. Along with a siren.

“Really a Siren?!?” I thought, “what am I O.J.?”

I didn’t understand it was only me and the truck on the road it was like I went from nightmare to day dream to nightmare. Just me, a cop and a lonely Highway. Where the hell did the truck go?

I pulled over wondering what happened how did this police get back there. The officer, buzz cut in all, and red like his face had been sand papered yells at me, “what the HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU,SON!!” I’m thinkin, “the speed limit was 70 I think I was doing about 85 how bad could this be”….

So you think you can give me the finger for 8 miles and speed right in front of me!!

“No No No, I was giving it to the truck driver” I said.
The Cop was so pissed he couldn’t help but ask, “so you didn’t know I was back there? “NO!”, I said.” He went to his car….

I was hoping he would ignore the fact that I’m black and mistake my new found red face for a relative of his, looking in the review, I almost had.

I pulled out my bible from my rat package in the backseat and read Psalms 26 or something over and over again. He came back and yelled …”You better watch where you put that finger at or somebody might just RIP IT OFF”… throwing a warning in the car.

IF that ain’t stupid I don’t know what is….

I have had a lot of stupid moments.. like looking for my phone…when I was talking on it. Pantsing who I thought was a friend in high school, but it turned out to be a substitute. (In my defense the sub looked just like my friends from the back–I got in MAJOR trouble for that one.) Accidentally setting my hair on fire at my graduation.. (we had to light our candle off the person next to us, I leaned over and caught me hair on fire…)but I did end up with a really cute bob haircut at least. :)

Another stupid moment was drinking down a live goldfish swimming in beef flavored water for dogs for some concert tickets. I felt absolutely guilty and awful for days.

Last January I was spending a week in NYC on vacation. Among many things I was most excited about going to see the production of In The Heights with my hollywood crush playing the lead. I had super close seats that I had saved months to purchase. It was very cold that night so I bundled up and left the loft with just enough time to make it to midtown in time to see the show. Me, having never been to NYC on my own or out and about at night, got on the subway going the oposite direction! Before I knew it I was lost somewhere in the poorly lit hood of Brooklyn. It took a tiny Asian woman walking six barking dogs, two more subways, my high school Spanish, and my inhaler before I finally got to the theatre.

It was about ten minutes until intermission. Luckily, the usher working took pity on me in my exhausted panic and let me in. Of course I had to climb over a few people mid performance to get to my seats, but in the end the show was great and the night couldn’t have turned out better. Oh and my celebrity crush? Thought the entire story was pretty funny (and cute). One of the greatest adventures yielded the greatest treasure.

I live in NYC now, and to this day I check my subway trains AT LEAST 3 times to be safe.

When I was at school and played Tennis on a Wednesday afternoon (twas a public school daaahling). I watched my friend cross the astroturf and daintily lift one leg at a time over the net to cross sides of the court. I thought this was terribly lame and said she could have simply leapt over in a rather elegant fashion and proceeded to demonstrate. I have never been a particularly stable person at the best of times and in my run up to the net, my mind was saying “THIS IS A BAD IDEA” but my feet couldn’t stop. In mid air, I thought I’d cleared it but then suddenly I felt my toe clip the net and i fell 90 degrees to flat on my face on the astroturf. Badly winded, scraped knees, busted cheek and a huge gaping gash on my arm. I looked lovely at my cousins wedding that weekend…..

With my freshly-minted driver’s license in my pocket at 16 years old, I excitedly drove to my first day of paid work ever. Excited at both driving the car and starting my first job, I thought of the places I would go and the things I would do with my first paycheck. Freedom was the name of the game, I thought.

Arriving in the parking lot of the Le Grande Salade restaurant, I checked the rear-view mirror and fixed my hair. Hurriedly, I tied my necktie and made sure my uniform looked alright. Certain I was to make a great first impression my first day, I jumped out of the car, locked the door and shut it.

That’s when I realized, with horror, that not only had I locked the keys to my parent’s car in the car, I had done so with the engine running and the radio blaring. When I got inside, I sheepishly had to ask the manager if I could use the phone to call my parents to unlock and turn off the car. Hardly the great first impression I was aiming for. Instead, I showed how stupid I could be. My plans for good times and travel with my first check were dashed as well, as my parents grounded me for driving with the radio of their car so loud. Ah, well, the ignorance of youth….
