Did you feel that?

So, at 5:20 this morning, we had a little earthquake. A magnitude of 4.5, to be exact. I heard the rumbling and the windows shake, but I didn't actually feel it. I'm just curious as to how everyone else experienced it.

Please let me know,
Jeremy

Happy birthday to me!

I would just like to let all of you know out there in blogger land that I am having a fantastic birthday today and that I will post again soon.

Starting the year with a bang...



So, I would like to start by saying that I am in much better spirits since my last post. The holiday season was extremely stressful and I am glad that it's over. I'm better now.



Well, sort of. You see, the evening of New Year's Day, I was in a minor accident. As some of you know, I rely on the (spastic) metro system. On the night in question, we had just pulled out of the transit center when some idiot decided to cut off the bus. The driver laid on the horn just before impact.

The way I was positioned, I was semi-curled up (as much as can be) and my eyes were closed (as I had just gotten off of work and was tired). So, when the impact happened, my body moved forward and slammed back-on my right side. My right shoulder received the brunt of the impact of me slamming back.

Back to the story. So, the driver of the bus handed out little cards to take our statements, before getting off the bus to see if anyone was hurt. I could hear the occupants of the car yelling at each other in some Asiatic language. I know it wasn't Chinese or Japanese; and none of them spoke any English. My guess is, ten to one, they don't have insurance, and most likely not a valid license, if one at all. They wanted to leave immediately (according to the bus driver), but it's a little hard to do that when there were so many witnesses.

I was a little shaken up that night, but didn't feel any pain. Until the next morning, that is. My entire back was extremely tense, and my right shoulder down to my elbow was a ball of flames. Thanks to a generous friend who gave me a massage, my back no longer hurts (although spasms regularly). My right shoulder and arm are taking longer to heal.

Anyway, that's about it for now. My birthday is next week, which I'm looking forward to.

Take care,
Jeremy
