1000 Ways to Die

Have you ever flipped through the channels and discovered nothing is on? You decide on the thing with the most interesting sounding show and then you are sucked in. Several times I have been flipping through and landed on SPIKE's 1000 Ways to Die.

Some of the causes of death are downright hilarious. Like the stripper who was at the bachelor party, taking her clothes off under the fan....and accidentally hung herself. (Let me just say, dying is not funny...but the recreations on this show are awful which makes it funny.) Then there are the death by meteorite, a carrot death, death by the tapeworm diet, death by snorting ants, and many more very strange stories.

Stupidity is the cause behind most of these deaths. And last night I did something pretty stupid.

Remember how I said my new addiction is Netflix on the Xbox? Well, I decided I was going to move the Xbox into the room and watch a movie in bed. I placed the Xbox onto the tall dresser and starting plugging it in. I bent down to plug it into the wall and apparently tugged too hard.

The next thing I know I'm in pain and the Xbox is on the ground.

It fell on my head, rolled onto my back and made it's final fall onto my arm. My forearm instantly bruised. I was afraid I was going to pass out. Then my hypochondria set in....what if I'm bleeding internally?! So, I touched my head one more time. It felt....gooey. OH.MY.GOD my head is bleeding!

I text Danny and tell him about the nights events. My husband was so concerned.....about his friggin Xbox. And when I posted a Facebook status about this apparently all men where more concerned about the Xbox. MEN!

So, after about two hours and lots of Wikipedia-ing (thanks Roomie!) I decided it was time for bed. I woke up this morning in pain. Bruised before the USMC Birthday Ball. Lovely. And thank God I got my hair trimmed before this happened, I have a pretty nice gash in my head now.

And by the way...the Xbox is fine.

Mom, I swear...I'm fine!
