Had a slight bump
4 years ago
I am an engine of chaos. It is my meaning, my purpose, my prerogative. The internet has made the butter fly effect not only plausible, but feasible on a sociological level. Who I touch and how I touch them, with the that I say and that I omit, with the truths I tell and the lies I spin, has influence and action. Every ebb and every flow marked and guided by me, ripples of a tide on a grander scale than any one alone. My sphere of influence knows no bounds, carried on the words, thoughts, and actions of others, a rolling wave of influence. And thus through chaos there is an order inherent. I am an engine of order.
Ok so not so slight a bump. I have an electric kick scooter kind of like the ride share ones but with more umph to it. I use it around town when I don't need to carry much as it is cheaper and easier than driving my truck (especially when going downtown). The other day I was ridding back from lunch at about 25 MPH rounding a bend in the road when I hit a damp patch of fresh asphalt and the thing went out from under me. Thankfully had a helmet on but still busted myself up enough to have to get my upper lip stitched back together. So I spent most of the last week unwilling to speak if I could help it and nursing a bottle of Advil. Now the scooter is more or less intact but As this is the second time I've had an accident (and by far the worse of the two) I think I'm done riding it... or sort of. I'm considering breaking it down for parts as the manufacturer is now defunct and it needs a new battery anyways and have been designing a better scooter that I've been considering building. I guess just because I'm that kind of idiot, but anyways kind of curious if people here might be interested in it all if/when I do it, maybe even look at manufacturing some? I don't know, just something grinding in my head while I'm walking off the vaccine sickness I guess.
