    Falling Down....

    ...fucking sucks.

    Got home from werk yesterday morning, cold and wet outside. Stepped back out to feed the cats and slipped on a patch of ice on the steps. Good thing I was wearing a belt or I'd probably have a chipped hip bone. Caught the edge of the wooden step right where my belt was. Minor scratch with no bruise, but hurt like fuck.

    Was at werk last night and went to push a plastic crate over about a foot, when the side wall collapsed and I went down on one knee right onto it, which has waffle-type gridwork (ABS plastic). Caught one of the raised portions just under the kneecap, as well as banging my shin on the bottom edge on the way down. Hurts like fuck.

    Gotta werk tonight as well. Hopefully I won't have to do my own stunts

    And I'm always singing Iron Maiden's "Falling Down" whenever I half-trip over or slip on something
    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

    The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

    When I used to work next to a mall I went to go to the food court to grab some lunch. It was snowing wet snow outside that day and the stairs into the food court were polished marble. I was careful all the way down but the 3rd step from the bottom it was like some astronomic force ripped my legs out from under me and I landed on the edge of a step right on my ass.

    When I got home the bruise looked like a big purple ugly pac-man and my ass hurt for about 2 weeks.

        I thought about that when reading your thread title... wondering if it was about the Michael Douglas movie that Iron Maiden wrote the song about.
        I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                  I have Falling Down on Laser Disc. I need to bust out the player and give it a watch. Hopefully rot hasn't set in.

                    You know it's a slow day on the JCF when the bros are bustin' out the LaserDiscs!

                      Perhaps, but at least they're not popping in "Gone with the wind" or season 3 of "Twilight"
                      Falling Down is one great fucking movie

                        Laser Disc! I remember them, but never actually bought one.
