stickman tatoo saved my life i swear.
Alright, so here it is. I got my stickman tat on my back 15 years ago and it finally paid off on 5/28/10.
A bunch of friends and I were standing on my buds 2nd story deck grilling good food when I leaned my back against the railing with my beverage in hand and to my suprise...the railing was completly rotten. I fell 12 feet (my friends said I did 1.5 flips) and landed squarly on a bush directly on my stickman.
8 hours later I walked out of the ER with a compression fracture in my t-12 vertabrae but not much more. It's going to heal on it's own they say and until then I just need to deal with the pain. I have counted my blessings everyday since then and have found a new respect for "life wasted". Everyone there said they thought I was a goner especially since I missed a landscape boulder by about 2 feet.
It was funny when I was lying in my friends house trying to regain any bit of breathing I could and one of them lifted up my shirt (cleveland pj t of course) to check the damage and said "i'm not sure if your tatoo is gonna make it". I laughed as best I could and thanked my stickman, i know he, if not someone was looking out for me that night.
do me a favor and hug your loved ones, life and health are precious and fragile. I thought I lost both that night.
