Cycling home from work today I came off my bike... doing a fair speed I might add. The thing that'll I'll remember from today, though, more so than the pain, is that I was reminded of a sensation I haven't experienced in many years. The feeling to which I refer is that during the time one flies through the air with the hard street getting ever closer, there seems to be an abundant amount of time in which to consider "fuck this is gonna hurt!" before the impact actually occurs... It's a confusing phenomenon... always was. It makes me feel nostalgic about the good old days.
As I lay in the street a woman was walking past with her dog. She immediately rushed up to me asking "Are you Ok?" At which point, of course, I bounced straight up, smiling, and said "Yep, yep, completely fine thank-you." As soon as she'd gone past and couldn't see me anymore I doubled over impersonating those scenes from Family Guy when Peter has fallen and hurt his knee... you know the ones I mean? Then I had to laugh at myself. Why do I feel the need to pretend I'm made of steel and cannot be harmed? It's not just me right? Is that a man thing?
