How close have you been to death?

[Emeril]

Haha. I just remembered my friend talking about when he was young. His dad owns a contracting company and my friend and his brother would dick around in the sites, just doing shit nobody else had time for. Like breaking concrete into smaller chunks so it could be fed into the crusher. He get a hammer with the nail pullers on the back and runs at the pile of concrete. Throws the hammer back a little bit too far. The spikes used for pulling nails out had gone into his head, underneath his skull. Not too deep though. A few millimeters deeper and it would have severed his spinal chord.

I fell down a set of about 20 or so stairs at about 3 months old, onto a concrete floor. Probably the only reasons I didnt die is I have an extremely tough/thick skull, and I was in my walker, which im guessing must have absorbed some of the impact.
My dad was watching me one day, reading the newspaper, he looked up I was in our old living room, a good 25 feet away from the cellar stairs. Than he looked back up at the paper, and next thing he knew, he saw the back of my walker going down the stairs. He said it happened so fast to him. He feels that he was resposible for it too, I use to always get into trouble when I was little, I mean the only thing that was really his fault is that he left the door open to the cellar. I guess im pretty fucking rugged though, i've been situations were some people would have died, but shit hadn't affected me. My dad thinks hes and alien hybrid, and that he got abducted as a child, he even remembers seeing faces as he was falling asleep and shit calling his name, that he no idea what they were at the time, but looking back they were definatly aliens. He also said he would randomly wake up with scars on his chest and shit. So maybe im part alien, because of all that shit and that would really just explain my ruggedness.
I remember when I was about the age of 5, 2 older kids tried to drown me at boyscout camp. If it weren't for my uncle keeping and eye on me, I would have died that day.

Ive taken high doses of drugs with no tolerence towards them, only to find out later that the dose I took is considered extremely dangerous and sometimes fatal at my weight, im fairly average 6'3" 220 pounds. Im talking about dramamine, not the 9 hits of acid mention below *cough*

I wouldn't consider any of these near death experiances, but it could play a major role if I ever do commit suicide:
I was born a coke baby (thank you mommy), and grew up the first 8 yeats without my mother, the first 5 she was out partying, and the last 3 she was in rehab, she says shes sorry, and she wishes she wouldnt have made the choices she did. I've lived with 9 different relatives my whole life, been to a couple different loony bins, consisting of maybe 3 months all together. I was in two different placements for a total of 3 years. So I think ill accept her appology, considering her choices have played an obvious role in all my "issues". In previous years councelors have evaluated me, they dont think im legally insane. A lot people I hang with now do however thhink im legally insane, but shit these past few years have been worse and worse, the first time I ever tried LSD I took 9 hits at the age of 14. I dont feel crazy, but one would think you get used to your problems and they just seem normal to me, I dont really know my friends could be fucking with me. Although ive never attemped suicide, I think about it on a daily basis. My life is far from normal, Jackel you said that I should take a step back to evaluate my life, after that little od scare(wasnt scary as it was trippy), or something along those lines, well heres the major points in my life, ive evaluated them over and over again.
BAD DRUGS, I forgot were not supposed to talk about anything other than weed

i dunno, i dont have anything really spectacular. when i was 4 i jumped off a chair and landed on my chin on the hardwood floor.
i narrowly avoided being t-boned at highway speeds, almost got hit turning in front of a bus, almost t-boned someone when i ran a red... the list goes on. im a crazy driver, what can i say.

[the Magical man]

You can say sorry for almost hitting me the other day.

[martian]

I almost drowned when I got bumped into the deep end of a pool when I was six.

I had pneumonia and fluid in both of my lungs when I was 11, dropped about 30 lbs, and probably came close to death from that as well.

Me and a friend got into an argument and small altercation with the attendant at a gas station. While walking away, some jackass in a pickup tried to run us over. We were lucky to jump out of the way in time, but the beers we bought weren't as lucky.

i aint even touchin this topic... death scares me so much it aint even funny... I have like actual necrophobia or somethin, I know nobody wants to die (well nobody in their right mind) .. but I actually lose time living worrying about it

[the Magical man]

Think about it, by the time everyone in this country is 12 we'll already be dead.

[soda shack]

12? what are you talking about? i dunno about you, but i plan on living past my 30s.

[gruntUSMC]

my near death experiance was Probably when Me and my buddy where walking down the street really high ! and these Guys Jumped us robbed us and Beat the shit out of us With a baseball bat I passed out And next thing i wake Up 2 days later ( i was on life support)
and man i looked sooo fucking Bad my entire face was swollen My arm was broken and everything else was in pain my buddy was okay to he suffered pretty much the same as me ( and on a good note the police caught the two fuckers who Stole my wallet and my backpack with my 100 doller bong)

[the Magical man]

12? what are you talking about? i dunno about you, but i plan on living past my 30s.
