news

about ten minutes ago i dosed off while playing guitar (yes it's been a long week). i awoke to a loud thump and a "ahhhh". i go look out the back of the house thinking it might be a room mate moving in who dropped something at while trying to open the door, but nothing. so i go to the front. open the door, and see my recycling bin has arrived, but this could not have been the clatter which i heard. suddenly my focus goes straight to 3rd ave. there is a car parked between both lanes of traffic, and a man with a bicycle upside down. it all makes sense. he was hit in front of my house. i ask if he is alright, if he need any help, he says no but now his handle bars are messed up. so i twist them back into place for him, he asks me for a dollar, to which i show him all i have is a crumpled receipt. i receive a god bless, and he rides away muttering about bad drivers. exciting events at(or rather in front of) the house off third.
