So, why did you jump?

marcspoke said...

drama queen effect, drunk batman exit. thought i'd nail it too, didnt look that high up. no such luck. dumb decision. ive had to talk to too many head shrinkers since admitted to hospital. psych peeps drew spinal fluid to see if im on lsd--that was lsd levity. i scaled the wall coming in, figured i'd exit in similar fashion. im laid up in this hospital for two days before someone can get proper pain medication out the door. im likely the only male in this group to ever get an epidural. will post x-rays asap. i came in pretty gnarly lookin'. both tib/fib pierced skin, and right ankle has some nasty joint ligament damage... as for why... i dont have a good reason.

Your type is better than your speech right now. I'm glad you're alive, let's keep the free jumps to 10 feet or less

Holy crap, Marc. You totally could have nailed that landing. You also totally could have died. Not sure what else to say about this...

marcspoke said...

not a move i will repeat, thank you for airing the reality of it.

You scaled the wall coming in? How drunk were you Peter Parker?

Was anyone watching you jump? I'd like to bitchslap your crew/friends for allowing this, though it obviously isn't their fault that YOU jumped.

What was the first thing you thought when you landed?

Is this the leaping off point?

marcspoke said...

that's the spot. landing just behind that semi-permanent street sigh-n.

as for first thought: shouldnt have done that. which brain converted to mouth as: call an emergency vehicle please(knew what was up--gumby in the lowest extremities).

and yes, i said please.

emergency responders stripped me naked on the street. 4 days later, still naked.

If this had happened in Costa Rica I would have put you on the front page of The Tico Times.

marcspoke said...

thanks. the pic i have in mind is of you telling me how great cr is, just as we pulled up next to a homeless boy defecating on a street corner. say no to reality.

Completely doable....I'm disappointed that you didn't "stick" that 3 story landing you dickwad
