What’s Been Happening and Close Call Moment
Hey People!
Boy it’s been a while. People probably won’t be reading/commenting on this but what the hell, might as well post something right? Right!
So I finished my Junior year at GVSU (and got onto the Deans List again I should add J ) and have been super fucking busy ever since. I’ve been working two jobs, and have begun a wonderful summer internship for the Grand Valley State University Veterans History Project. I’m part of a team making a documentary on the Vietnam War, specifically the Marines, and am interviewing Vets, studying military documents and other sources for fact checking and timelines, and finding material for the documentary’s B-Roll. So, since beginning two weeks ago until the end of July, my summer will consist of morning Vet interviews, going to work (my dads office or my art gallery job), then going home to eat dinner, exercise for 2 hours, then do research before going to bed. Yeah I don’t get much time for other things really, but being able to talk to these Vietnam vets and hear their stories (the good, the bad, the depressing, and the hilarious) is such a wonderful experience, and I am so happy to be a part of it J
But, apart from the school/work/no social life part of my personal stuff, I am currently working on a story (very slowly I might add, SORRY herminekurotowa!!!) set in the Caribbean around 1740. It’s Merman Jensen/Jared, and is in the 3rd person (wow, shocker for me right?) So yeah, if someone wants to beta this badboy piece by piece, feel free to leave a line I've got the prologue, chapter one done and am working on chapter two right now.
Now for my close call story, aka my near death experience that happened this past Wednesday.
I was on the freeway on my way to work after a internship meeting and they were closing the left lane for construction. Long story short, I was in the part of the road where they make a merge lane from the left to right lane, and was stopped right where the merge ends, making the right lane the only lane on that part of the freeway.
So there I was, at a full stop due to the traffic jam, and I hear the sound of a car flooring it from somewhere behind me. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a black car rushing towards my not moving car at about 60 miles an hour. Because of where I was I couldn’t move even if I tried, and I could tell that the woman was looking down (probably fucking texting!) I knew shit bad shit was gonna happen quickly, so I braced myself for impact (like that would have done any good, at that speed I woulda probably been critically injured or killed). By some miracle, the woman looked up from most likely her god damn phone and slammed on the breaks just in time to just miss my car by like less than a foot.
So the reason I’m telling you this story. DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE!! And if you see people texting and driving on the road, AVOID THEIR CAR!
So yep, there’s some words for ya. For those of you who do actually read this, sorry for the eyeful!
