I came so damn close to get a DWI on sunday 11/26/06 that it really isn't funny. Well it kinda is now but still not damn funny. Luck was so on my side that day. Had a huge Golden Horseshoe above my head or and damn angel flapping its wings behind me. but anyways....
Me and a my friend Ivan decided to go to Burlington, vermont for the afternoon. We ended up going to Chili's restaurant for lunch. Bad mistake. Whenever we are there we get going crazy on drinking and don't care bout much else. I'm sure most ya have gone to a Chili's and had a Presidente Margarita. If not you better because they are damn good. Love tequilla ohhhh yea. Anyways. My friend had 2 Presidente Margaritas which when mixed and poured right you can get almost 7 margarita glass's from one of the shackers. So he had 2 of those. I had 2 long island iceteas, 1 presidente margarita shaker, and 2 michelob ultra beers. That was there. I also drank 4 Michelob lights on the way to burlington.
We left there and went and played pool at Burlington Billards for a little while. I actually do really good after i've been drinking. Not just because i don't care i just seem to consitrate just that much more on my shots.
So we drove back to Morrisville, vermont around 8pm so i could drop off Ivan at his house. I left from there and like heck with it i want to go to blockbuster. I so should have not wanted to go there.... I ended up comin onto a damn checkpoint by the cops. They were checkin for people that had been drinkin. I didn't relize it was that when i was goin up the road. thought maybe an accident until i saw the signs. But then it was too late to turn around.
I pull up and the cop does his little talk about who he is and what they are doin.
"had anything to drink" asks the officer
"no" i respond
"i smell alcohol, so i will ask again, have you had anything to drink tonight?" asks the officer
"yea, 1 or 2" i respond
"how bout you pull it over here then" says the officer
Thinking to myself yup i'm so fucked now. Why didn't i have a damn breathe mint.I get over to the parking lot and get out and talk to the cop. He asks me random questions of who i am where i am coming from and headed.
"on any medications? wear glasses or contacts?" asks the officer
"yea i wear contacts" i respond
Well there the dilated eyes goes out the door since contacts messes with ur pupils at times.
"follow the finger with your eyes and not your head" responds the officer
i do so. Now we got to find a straight line. I point out there are straight lines over yander to where there are parking spaces. He says those should work. he then shows me how he wants me to walk on the line. Startin with my left foot then going right footed with toe to heel all the way up to 9 times. then slowly pivet on one foot and do the same thing back. I asked him like a basketball pivet and he's like kinda just a lot smaller steps.
I did that fine and then he has me stand straight and hold either foot about 6" off the ground and count One Thousand One, One Thousand Two and so on.
"how many times?" i ask
"Until i tell you to stop" responds the cop
I counted up to 36 before he told me to stop. He then went to get the breathalizer. I'm like ahh shit. He started asking me random questions again.
"Have you ever had a DWI before" asks the officer
"no" i respond
"Ever had to do a breathalizer before" asks the officer
"no" i respond
"ever been to jail"asks the officer
"no" i respond
"I really don't like the way you keep asking these questions, are you already hitting towards something?" i respond with
the officer just chuckles
"blow" he responds
I blow into the unit and then watch the numbers roll. I'm swearing at this point. i blew a .084. The legal limit is .08 . i'm so over.
"you gonna arrest me now" i ask as i hold out my hands
"no, just gonna have you sit over there for an hour till you go points go down" says the officer
i'm thinkin yess thank fucking god.
Well the other cops didn't want me just to sit there so they needed to call someone to come get me when i had to give them my parents number which i just didn't want to do. Luckly they didn't pick up. They called my brother who came to pick me up. Well while waiting for him to show up i'm jokin around with some of the cops about things. So not right....
But i was so fuckin lucky that i got away scotch free. Luck was on myside that night. I've learned a lesson and shouln't be drivin. Will i fully learn??? time will tell.............
