I had a near-death experience today... I had just dropped off Blue (my new friend from UAB) at her house and I was on I-20 heading home. Right when I was entering the city, my CD player in my car suddenly died. I thought that it was that my speakers were acting up as they normally do and I didn't pay any mind to it. Little did I know that was the beginning of what I thought was the end. Not long after my CD Player gave way, a little battery light flashed on and my speedometer shut off completely. (Remember, I was on the INTERSTATE going about 70-75 MPH) Immediately, I had decided to slow down and get in the farthest right lane. I had not a single idea what speed I was going, I just knew that I HAD to get off of the interstate. I had just ever-so-slightly tapped on my brakes, and my engine (the only thing working in my car at that time) almost dies! I knew then that all I could do was pray. I said the Lord's Prayer as I, somehow, got all the way to the farthest right lane... My heart was racing as my car was just teetering on the edge of shutting completely off. The next exit was one mile away, and I had to make it in order to be safely pulled over... at a 1/2 mile to the exit, my engine had tried to stop on me. I clinched the wheel as I prayed over and over, begging the Lord to watch over Sky The Wanderer, my family, and friends after I die. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I could see the exit, and I knew that I was going to make it. I had gone onto the exit and, right at that stop light, my car shuts off... I was so thankful that God had spared my life. I had pushed my car into a shell station, and called my parents.
To think, I never realized that I could have died today.... and not be able to talk to Sky the Wanderer, my family, and my friends ever again... I need to appreciate all that I had, all that I have, and all that will be, for I might not be alive tomorrow...
I heart Sky the Wanderer

All right!
Randomness will come through this journal as if flying, and I will explain all my feelings in it... If there is anything that offends you I apologize, but I will not let your criticism destroy what I have placed in this book...
