So, there are times in my life where I have done all the right things and still gotten hosed.
Tonight could have been one of those times.
I was sitting outside my house with my roommates and saw that Scott had a new tattoo. It was an anchor.
I asked him what it meant, he made me promise not to make fun of him.
While his story was a little corny, I bit my tongue and said, "Oh.... that's nice."
I turn around to look at my cats standing in front of the screen door and turn back towards Scott only to find a cigarette in my eye.
Almost burned it completely, but somehow I walked away without a burn on me. My eye was still intact.
It was an accident, but I almost lost an eye tonight--for keeping my word.
Isn't it funny how that works out sometimes? Just further proof that accidents happen that can change your life instantly. Glad mine didn't change too much because of a stupid joke and bad luck. I forgive you Scott... just don't get too close.
By the way, rent is $100 more this month.
