yuck. Court date on Monday. In Philly. All in reference to the worst day of my life.

aye pobrecito. por que tienes que ir a la corte...si me puedes decir.

si, si, yo puedo. Early in August 2004, I went to 2 Conventions. I knew I had to work at mine, so I decided to attend 2. 1 to pay attention. The other to work. My friend Toby had his in Philly, so we went together. He saw his x-g/f there and refused to go any more. So I stayed at my uncle's house and went alone on Saturday morning. I was running late--my uncle kept stalling me. Not that I blame either of them.

Also, I refused to make my aunt and uncle make me lunch, so I had to stop. So by the time I got to philly, the assembly was JUUUUUUUUSSSSST about to begin. It was probably 8:54am when I passed the Liacors Center (however that's spelled).

Anyway, when I went to park, I was waiting at a red light waiting to turn. There were three lanes going in the same general direction as me, and 3 coming the other way. It seemed as though the far right side, and far left sides were being used for parking.

So as I waited at the light, I waved to the parking attendant brother. When the light turned green, I jumped out ahead of the 3 lanes of traffic (one of which was being used for parking.) The first two lanes waited for me. Then this lady passed everyone (on their right, without a license, too...) and slammed right into the back passenger side door of my car. My car was pushed up onto the curb into the brother who was the attendant, and he went flying.

Oh man...Is he ok? I assume the woman is in trouble not you?

So what are they charging you with? Reckless driving?

Wait, if the woman hit him and passed on the right and had no license, then how can Todd be charged with anything? I don't get it.

i think they said it was his fault, it's retarded.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

well, it was considered no one's fault.

It's the other driver. She's suing me, which is retarded. She got a ticket for not having a license. You'd think that'd be enough. But the courts dismiss the fact that she shouldn't have been driving at all. They try to figure out who was at fault.

The brother who got hit was okay...but he really got his knee and hip messed up. I've never felt worse. I seriously was crying, I felt horrible. I wanted to go to the hospital with him and see if he was okay. He was just laying on the ground. The dent in my car from his body was huge. I feel that much worse for his poor wife having to hear that her husband was just hit by a car. ugh. I'm getting depressed thinking about it.

awww hun, i'm SO sorry. I feel so bad. its totally retarded for her to even be suing when it's obvious she's at fault. anyway do you have a lawyer with you to help out? if you're doing it on your own, i can give you our family lawyers number if you have any questions or anything....you know jsut for legal advice....let me know.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

no, I'll be okay, I think I have a pretty good lawyer. He seems confident and capable

try not to worry too much about how it will turn out. it won't do any good to worry.

Lo siento, amigo....this is awful. I hope it all gets worked out in the end, and that you get it settled with no problems.
