Interesting fact about me.

I was talking to someone the other night and told them a story about myself. He said it was one of the most amazing things he has ever heard and I should share it with everyone I know. So, here it is. Ten years ago I was hit by lightning. If any one who has had a near death experience tells you they saw their life flash before their eyes, it is true. In a matter of seconds, my entire life flew by. I was thrown clear across the field and my ball glove literally flew off my hand. My dad and brother witnessed it and said it was the scariest thing they had ever seen. I had so much electricity running through my body 3 people couldn't even hold my arms and legs down. The only long term problems I have is well, I am crazy and my eyes are super sensitive to light. But anyhoo, in a nutshell, there is my story.

Omg, that is nuts. Someone down the road from parents hit a stray cow. It was sad, yet a little amusing. I know that was just terrible.

So, I was thinking that your avatar was a little on the light side, but perhaps you are actually that white? Or, are you simply projecting light back at the camera?
I think it is an after effect of the lightning strike, when she holds a light bulb it glows too

Since you're from TX, two questions...
1) Did you hang on to your beer during the crash?
2) How many people did you invite when you BBQed the Cow?
Just kidding.
I'm no better. I fell of a stupid dog house and broke my arm.

X I remember that movie and it is driving me crazy to not remember the name. Wasn't there a movie with John Travolta where he got hit by lighting and became brilliant...Slick I think you got ripped off.

When my mother was giving birth to me, I was 3 weeks late, and came out blue and didn't breath from somewhere between 7 and 10 minutes... they thought I was dead, and I just all of a sudden started breathing. I didn't the umbilical cord wrapped around me either... kinda weird huh?
