Well... I will tell you the scariest week of my life.

I was fighting with my ex - severe fighting type thing. I went to work, took the day off and started the paperwork of divorce and custody of my kid. Well I came home and she had fled the state... left no note, no nothing, just left. Everything moveable easily was gone, the kids were gone, my ex was gone and I found out what really empty means in a house. The next week, involving lawyers, private detectives, and phone calls to her parents out of state was easily the worst in my life...

The end of the story is fleeing is not a good idea, I ended up wtih custody (mostly) and a restraining order, she has to have court approval to leave the state etc. But that week... as prepared as I am to meet any threat to me - I legally carry a gun, I have practiced martial arts quite a bit... well there are some things that leave you nearly powerless and walking in, looking at my youngests blanket sitting on the floor where she had forgot it (and she never goes anywhere without it), and having no note, no call.. no nothing. Well yeh, I assume you all get the idea

I was at Red Rock Canyon, in too big of a hurry. I wasn't even that close to the edge, but I slipped on sand covered sandstone with like no traction and started slowly sliding down a rounded boulder - I couldn't stop. I was spread eagle, doing my best to hold on... the whole time thinking, oh my god I'm going to die. I figured I needed as much traction as possible, using every square inch I could to hang on - including my face. At about the last possible moment, the slipping slowed to a stop. And I stayed there for a while dangling over the edge, thinking to myself: What the hell do I do now? I couldn't even really call for help because I could not move a hair. I carefully pulled myself up really slowly and when I made it back to the top, I just stayed there on my stomach for a while.

The freaky thing is, I found out not long ago that a friend of mine had died. He fell to his death at the same canyon.

this didn't happen to me but to my brother and friend.

well one night my brother and his friend were out in the neighborhood and they decide to doorbell ditch some guys house that is right across the street from my friends house. so they ring the guys doorbell then run across the street and hide behind some bushes. they wait in my friends bushed for a good 7-10 mins. finally they decide to get up and leave becasue the guy never came out. then the guy came running out as they stand up and pulls a revolver out and is pointing it straight at my brother and friend ON MY FRIENDS FRONT LAWN. they were all just standing out on the front lawn with the guy poking them with the gun, and when he did that, my friend actaully pissed his pants. it turned out that my friends dad came out and was cussing at the guy but im not exactly sure about the details on that part. thankfully nobody got hurt, and i imagine that was pretty scary for them, seeing how my friend actaully pissed his pants he was soo scared.

4 way intersection it was a late yellow light and im going around 40mph (speed limit is 35) sunny day but i decide not to run the yellow knowing that it wouldve turned red right as i pass the white stopping line

so i slam the break (thank god for antilock or i wouldve burned rubber and gotten a citation probably) and my car goes over the white line but i dont go into the intersection and i look at the perpendicular cars that have the green light now, the first cars both on my left and right that were wating to cross the street were police cars <(my heart was pumping so hard when i saw them i started sweating) but they didnt stop me for stopping short over the white line

i put a gold rimmed plate covered with york peppermint patties (still wrapped), 4 coke cans(full), a jar of jelly, a stack of old cds wrapped in tin foil, and a banana in the microwave. then i turned it on high for 99 minutes. i ran to the next room and about 30 seconds later- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. it was a small microwave JAM packed. i thought i blew up the house when i heard that... oh lordy.

i was filling sand bags to reenforce a concrete wall, when a rpg hit the wall right on the other side of me, maybe 5 ft away. that was scary, i thought i died. also taking small arms fire isnt always scarry at the time, but afterwards when its all done, youre like, whoa. its an unreal feeling

i could give a ton of stories like that, but i wont go there.

also, i had a dream once that i was driving my car late at night in a huge storm with my lights off. i couldnt see anything, and all of a sudden i saw semi truck headlights ahead of me. in my dream, i hit the truck and died, but right when i died i woke up. when i woke up, i was sitting in my car. i was so scared i sat there still for about an hour before i could move.

by the way, i sleep walk

i was climbing at red rocks amphitheater a few weeks back going up the "stairway to heaven" it's a moderatly easy climb til you get to this one point where it's a a wall on the edge of a cliff that you have to jump up and grab on to this rock at the top called the "don't let go rock" once you get a hold of that you have to pull yourself up through a tiny hole into a cave aka heaven, if you let go you tumble down the cliff to hell. so i'm laying on this wall trying not to look/fall back down the cliff, i get to the "don't let go rock" and jump up. i just barely get a hand on it, so i knew this time it'd be hard to pull myself up. half way up i start slipping, oh boy did i panic but out of sheer terror i was able to pull my self up the wall and into the cave..i've never been that terrified in my life.

That's gotta be weird being under fire - couldn't imagine. Well, it's good you're back in healthy condition.

when I was 10 about 22 years ago, I was playing in the back yard of the girl who lived next door. An older 2 lane road with a blind curve backed up to her yard. We heard a crash and ran to see what it was. Even today it bothers me to think about it. A van and a motorcycle got into an accident. The van hit a small concrete bridge the motorcycle went down hard and the rider went into the back of the van, the man in the van bounced off the windshield and was pretty bloody but ok. The motorcyclist wasnt so lucky. He had compound fractures, pieces of bone were coming out of his shins and he also had a lot of blood coming out the back of his head, nose and mouth. A lot of internal injuries. My mom ran over to see what was going on, I remember her taking off my tee shirt to wipe blood away from his face and try and stop the bleeding from his legs. I watched from the side of the road even though my mom was yelling at me to leave. I think I was in shock. He dies in my moms arms 5 mins before the ambulance got to the crash. I remember seeing his breathing slow down then he stopped breathing. he kept asking my mom what her name was, he kept praying to god, near the end he wasnt talking right at all, almost like he was talking in tounges. It messed with me for a while, late at night I would have nightmares about this guy and wake up screaming. Pretty scary to see death 4 feet away, espically if ur only 10yrs old.

this one time, when I was leaving my apartment and coming down the back stairwell that intersects with the opposite apartment's stairs, and saw that my drop dead gorgeous latin neighbor girl was coming down the stairs at the same time.

The sun hits her brown eyes and tan skin as she came down, and the girl seriously seemd to be glowing before my eyes. I totally panicked, nearly tripped down the stairs, then attempted to say something clever, failed miserably,...and broke out in a cold sweat....i was terrified.

This girl cant be much more than 5'3 and I'm about 6'2, but she still scares me, in a good way though. man I love latin chicks!

oh, and one time i nailed an oak tree going 60mph and my airbag failed to open, but that was'nt as big a deal 'cause I'm real thick-headed. I smelled gas and fought off passing out untill I hobbled out of the car and collapsed. That tree should'nt have been in my way to begin with.

Kind of a weak story:

Ok, I was hangin out with some friends, we were like 12 at the time. Just finished throwing back some brews (Thats Canada for you... ) and someone gets the stupid idea to throw the bottles on the highway by my house. So we throw them, they bust, we run. Later we get the video camera and are about to check out the open tunnel system down the street. We head out and some guy comes running up to us and says 'Hey. you the kids that were at the variety store?' my friends say no, I (Me and my stupid honesty..) say 'yea'. 'You the ones who threw the bottles?' Friends : No, me 'Yes'. Then he starts threatening us, shoving some of my friends around. I wasnt actually scared, I was sort of 'guess-filming' the event from my waist, but what freaked me out was the look on my friends' faces, they looked like someone had just told them their mothers were killed or something. So we go and clean up the bottle mess, as instructed by the biker (He nearly crashed on his bike thanks to us ), and then one friend starts crying and stuff. ****ty day, cops came by and almost booked us (Intoxicated Minors + Public Vandalism + Pissed Off Biker = Bad Day). I was actually ready to spend the night in juvie, I felt like fessing up anyways, it was so stupid. Oh well, nothing bad came of it. STill have the video to laugh at one of my friends who looked like an orangutang 'OK IM SORRY! OK! OK IM SORRY!' swinging his arms in the air. haha..

man, my moms friend was driving and a brake rotor came off a 18 wheeler she just had time to duck, it ripped THROUGH her dash, and took off the headrest, scary crap


man, one time, my brother and i were walking down the street at night and this low-rider pulled in front of us and stopped and turned off his lights

[Ironmag]

I also remember this one time that I was heading back home on I-35, I was next to this 18-wheeler and noticed that there was smoke coming out of one of the back tires and when I look at the tire, you can see the drum brake is red hot and so I pick up the pace so that nothing happens while I'm next to this time bomb waiting to happen. Just when I start to pass it, the tire explodes and catches on fire and that was when I really stepped on the gas to get of of the way just incase the driver loses control of his rig.
