You know when you worry about something, like maybe getting a parking ticket? Its on your mind and you wish it hadn't happened. Then something serious happens, like you have a health scare, or someone close to you is diagnosed with something serious. You wish all you had to worry about was the parking ticket, which a few hours ago seemed like the biggest problem in the world.
What I'm saying is, you dodged a bullet. You could be laying in a hospital bed fighting for your life, but fate has meant that you are given something far more trivial to deal with.
Consider this, and feel lucky. Have a beer, celebrate and feel awesome. |

Don't squander the good will you've earned by raising Terence McKenna as a non-ironic topic of discussion.

Yeah, this is exactly how I felt. I had trouble sleeping, though, so I actually drank all 6 of the beers.
As for pressing charges: I don't think I had to :conf: They never asked me if I wanted to or not, they just cuffed him and hauled him in. |

I was in shock after and almost didn't even call the police |
When we got robbed at the Pizza Hut I worked at I had the same reaction once he was gone. I don't think I would have called the cops until much much later than I did if my manager hadn't told me to run to 7/11 and use their phone (he had us leave through the back door and locked it so he could make a get-away through the front).
Guy walked into our store and started filling out an application to buy time until the other customers left with their pizza. Once they were gone, the dude just straight whipped out a gun and said "This is a robbery." Stupid manager tried to tell him she couldn't open the cash register, but I'm not sure he would have actually shot either of us, though I wasn't about to test my hypothesis. After taking the money from the register he ripped one of our 7 phones off the wall, put us out back, and ran through the front.
Idiot left his fingerprints on the application (note: paper is one of the worst surfaces you can touch if don't want to leave prints), and they got him in Ottawa 3 weeks later. |

I'll try, later on. I'm not as up on McKenna as I'd like to be and I haven't had a lot of time to review everything already posted. It might take me a week to get up to speed but I promise to contribute. |

Why do people walk around with their headphones on? I couldn't do that, I want to be aware of what's going on around me at all times.
I'm glad your beers are ok. |

It's kind of weltschmerz, in my case.
The world is so much more awesome with music that not having some sort of steady background music feels... underwhelming. And because it's impossible to read while I drive/walk, I'm usually listening to lectures/audiobooks when I'm going from one place to another.
I always leave my place either with a person or with my headphones. At the very least with a book. But without the headphones I really feel naked. |

I love music as much as the next person but I also love being alive, and would like to stay alive for a while. Imagine how many accidents which could have been easily avoided have occured because the person was too busy listening to killer tunes to pay attention to warnings that they were in danger?
Cyclists with headphones are the worst, how much of a moron can you be? |
