Near Death Experiences
Last time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

The stupidity of youth...
About 10 years ago, a roomate of mine gave me a medium sized pill bottle containing a variety of shapes and sizes of narcotic painkillers, mostly Vicodin. Being a binge sort of person, I immediately began eating pills from the bottle, at one point, I wasn't even swallowing them with water, I was just chewing them up.
It never occured to me that these pills also contained Tylenol, which will kill you from liver failure, and who knows what else...I ended up laying on my bed, unable to control my muscles, I remember my tongue "shaking" in my mouth and sort of flowing in and out of conciousness.
I look back on that day with utter embarassment and dread, I could have easily poisoned myself, and I am lucky to have lived.
