Some people like to paint, draw, write (me), etc.
I'm going to be honest, I like speed... a lot. And what comes with the territory?... injuries.
I know speeding is a bad thing to do but I just like it. It is in me, badly! Driving down the Interstate sometimes I catch myself easily going 10 miles above the speed limit... OFTEN!
Stop, don't be so fast to judge me, most of us are guilty of that.
Why you might ask? truly I have no valid answer other than just to get where I might be going as quickly as I can.
Why you might ask? again I have no valid answer.
I consider myself a pretty decent, safe driver; faster than I should driver, but safe nonetheless.
But even with all the precautions accidents will happen. (not talking about me, thank God) I'm talking about a friend of mine.
You see, we race go carts. Personally I don't do it, but we have an amateur team and it is a weekend thing so long as the weather allows it.
Yesterday we went to www.beavercreekspeedway.us One of our guys wrecked and got injured. He ended up sore all over and with two broken ribs. Of course we take all the necessary precautions; gloves, jacket, helmet... etc.
You would think, it's just a go cart, right? yes it is just a go cart, but he was going 60 mph. So yeah, it was pretty bad.
And here you can get a bit more info about the sport www.beavercreekspeedway.com
I've seen awful wrecks on the interstate, and I know as much as I drive, because we drive between TN to KY, AL, GA., it could happen to me mainly since I'm often driving a bit too fast, whether my personal vehicle or puling a trailer full of racing equipment, which I've done a few times. I should slow down, but it is a bad habit and bad habits are hard to break.
Needles to say after what happened last night I will try my best to SLOW DOWN!
I know that when I get to where I'm going, the place I'm going to will be there waiting on me.
We all make promises about this and that, like not mixing any of the following with the wheel and speed:
-drinking
-texting
-putting make up on
-reading
-writing
-eating
...you name it the list is long. So I will try to do my best to get rid of that horrible habit. But the outcome it is not guaranteed... sorry... like many of us out there, I like speed.
Meanwhile I'll be doing one of my favorite things to do beside speed, writing.
I hope you read this, get something good out of it and share it.
Until next time... I'll see you around.
