So tonight's been rough. I feel like a total pansy even saying that... because I'm only affected indirectly. Basically there's a girl in my life who's awesome (she thinks Wovenhand rules too, which is super rad). Anyway, things've been great. So, being old-fashioned like I am, I wanted to talk to her father. We live about 40 minutes apart. On the drive out to see me tonight he got in a horrible car wreck- flipped three times. Fortunately, somehow, he walked away with only ripped ligaments and sever lacerations (which I say "only" because it's amazing he even survived that crash at all, from the sounds of it). So basically, I feel like somehow it's my fault. Like if I hadn't wanted to meet with him tonight he would've been fine. Mostly though, I just feel terrible. My girl's all shaken up and super upset, understandably, and the family was going to get a home inspection in order to get approved for adoption tomorrow, but now they can't because he's so badly injured that obviously all their plans are skewed. It's all just so sad. Sorry to rant, I know it's a music place here. But man, I just needed to write it out to get it off my chest. It's gonna be a late night. | 1 | | Stars of the Lid The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid | 2 | | Grouper The Man who Died in his Boat | 3 | | Have a Nice Life Deathconsciousness | 4 | | Wovenhand Blush Music | |

07.31.14 | Yo, car wrecks suck. | Judio!
07.31.14 | Goddamn, that's awful. Drink up mate. | fallenbird
07.31.14 | You have my condolences | TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | Wow I'm really sorry to hear that. Don't obsess over it being your fault, it's a terrible situation and you obviously couldn't've known that would happen | BMDrummer
07.31.14 | Damn dude that's awful, sorry about that. | North0House2
07.31.14 | Thanks guys. I just needed to kinda spray it out there somewhere. It's been a long night, and I feel so bad for the family. They've been through the wringer lately.
I know it's not my fault. But I still feel somewhat responsible to an extent. I know it'll pass, but at the moment I just feel terrible. | Hawks
07.31.14 | Not your fault dude, shit happens. Def an unfortunate situation though. At least he's not too badly injured. | North0House2
07.31.14 | I don't even know how he walked away the way he did to be honest. So I'm so grateful for that.
But yeah, it'll work out I guess. Just sucks | Hawks
07.31.14 | My parents were in kind of a similar accident a few years ago. Slipped on some black ice and flipped over a guard rail. The car flipped over 5 times and they both walked away without a scratch. Police/paramedics showed up and were amazed that they were alive, let alone no injuries at all. Crazy, unexplainable shit happens. | North0House2
07.31.14 | That's so bloody awesome, Hawks. What a narrow escape, that could've been way worse. Unfortunately he wasn't as lucky. He has some pretty sever lacerations and the ligaments in his shoulder (from what I understand, I'm only hearing through the girl I'm with) are all torn up, so that'll be a long road to recovery there. Fortunately though, everything else is okay- no brain damage, injured organs, or broken bones. | Hawks
07.31.14 | Yeah all that matters is that he most likely won't have any long term problems. Could've been way worse. | BMDrummer
07.31.14 | That's good to hear at least, this obviously could've been much worse. | North0House2
07.31.14 | Yeah it could've been completely deadly. Especially since he's such a tall, muscular, guy... I mean his size in relevance to the vehicle he was in is really amazing to consider how little he got injured. | Hawks
07.31.14 | Wild things happen dude. When it's your time to go it's your time to go. That's how I feel about it. m/ | RogueNine
07.31.14 | You always have the most sincere lists, North. I know it's easy to feel guilty in situations like these but it's out of your control. But in the long run it sounds like everyone will be OK. | Phlegm
07.31.14 | keep listening to Grouper and dissolve into nothingness... emotions can't affect you when you don't e x i s t | bakkermaarten007
07.31.14 | If you hadn't asked him to talk, he wouldn't have gotten into that accident. That's true.
But does that make it your fault? No, absolutely not. There's so many circumstantial factors in a human's life that lead him to where he/she stands. Fact is, you did nothing that contributed to the accident. You only got him out of his house. All what happened since are events that were susceptible to other circumstances.
So don't beat yourself up over this. | North0House2
08.01.14 | Thanks guys. Glad I can rant here and get some support. I went to visit her and her family tonight. Her dad was doing well other than having his arm in a sling. It's pretty amazing he wasn't killed in the accident to be honest. So that's definitely a huge break. Things are looking up, fortunately. Last night was just rough lol. | lyzakthellama
08.01.14 | Shit dude, that's rough but it's awesome to hear most things worked out positively. |
