I was walking home from work this evening and I tripped in the middle of the sidewalk. A common, frequent occurrence for me of course. But this was like the extended, directors-cut version of a normal trip.
We are talking about shoe getting caught in between a large crack and me being hurled forward and down at the same time. I put my hands forward to break my fall, but actually didn't fall on the ground. So instead of a fall, it was more like a hyper jerking hurl of the body, which still managed to leave me standing. But inches off the ground.
If I saw someone almost fall like I did, in the middle of rush hour-city walking, I would stop and of course, laugh.
But to my horror when I rose, I saw no passerbys pointing and laughing. No one chuckling or hiding a smirk.
I was more in shock of not being made fun of by strangers, then the fact that I pretty much threw my back out.
Not a normal reaction to tripping in daylight, but of course an understandable one, right? I turned around a couple times and my expression read Seriously, no one is laughing at me? You all saw what just happened and yet-- nothing. No mocking whatsoever? Well, fine. Be that way.
And then I got in this really awkward, silent fight with strangers who were ignoring me to begin with. It was weird. I got on the bus after that and took it the next 5 blocks to my apartment.
The M15 express bus saves the day once again.
Totally off topic- Prediction: the 'new' 90210 won't last half a season. Poor Kelly Taylor.

Dude, I thought you were gonna write about TRIPPING.
I still think you should do it. :)
I'm not gonna lie, I would have totally laughed at you lol. When I do something like that, and actually hit the ground I make sure to lye there for a few seconds and laugh at myself that way when I get I won't feel so bad about the people who are laughing at me. People in NYC don't seem to be phased by much at all anymore from what I hear. Perhaps that's why no one laughed.
I believe everything said made a great deal of sense.
However, think on this, suppose you were to create a awesome
post title? I ain't suggesting your information is not solid., but what if you added something to maybe grab people's attention?
I mean "Still Trippin'" is a little plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create news titles to grab viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've written.
Just my opinion, it might bring your blog
a little livelier.
