Anyone here ever had a NDE (near death experience)?

6String, I'm right there with ya on the football thing, but those stories don't do much to separate you from the normal shitheaded macho guy that watches that crap. Eh, not so much the first couple, but deffinately the "We were at a party, then..." story. If you've moved away from that stupidity, then all the better for you. I did a great deal of dumb things when I was younger, but I'm proud to say that I stayed away from parties, alcohol, drugs and women. If that's akin to being an admitted loser, well, I've never denied it before.
Only one thing comes real close with a brush with death for me, and that was getting shot twice on one occasion. I have a scar that shows one of them being about 2 inches away from my heart. But no organs were punctured, so that wasn't even very lethal.
I've also been stabbed a couple of times, one of them would have easily punctured a lung if it had been with something other than a box cutter. Also had parachutes fail and drowning experiences, but I was never in any real danger because of reserve-chutes and nearby, vigilant instructors.

On a new year's eve way back, I drunkenly cut my wrist punching a plate glass window (long stupid story), and didn't even know I was bleeding...I walked to get a train in NJ to go home. After walking for a half hour, a Guardian Angel (remember them?) came up to me on the street and asked if I was okay. It was only then I found out that my leg where my hand was near was covered in blood. He walked me to a hospital where I went to sleep waiting for a gurney. I have some memory of doctors laughing as they goofed on me for being a dumbass kid on NYE as they did surgury on my wrist, basically re-attaching blood vessles and nerves.
Next day I found out I was an undead-dude, a vampire or some such, because I had lost over half the blood in my body that night, and was still walking, which humans cannot do.

Heh.... yeah, you're right. Thanks for showing me some humility. Sometimes I talk like I'm the smartest person in the world. I didn't really mean football is for stupid people. To say what I really meant I would have to write a novel or 10, but suffice it to say I think there are so many important issues that none of us choose to concern ourselves with while we instead choose to go to the circus. I do it too.... I just choose venues other than Football to waste my time.
I learned a few lessons when I was younger. I was only 18 or 19 when all that happened. I'm 27 now and I've become a bit more hermitized since then. I've spent years being introspective and I've come to realize that I really don't like a whole lot about myself at all. I have my good points though... and my good moments. I'm not sure that it's a good thing that I don't go out much anymore in my free time, but I don't think I'll be getting stabbed again any time soon.

I almost died as a baby. Do not remember it. But I do see dead people sometimes!

Have you seen Tupac? My brother is convinced that he's not dead and he is evading taxes. Even as wacko conspiracy theorist as I am, I think he really is dead. If you see him tell him I said hi and that Gridlock'd was awesome.
R.I.P. Tupac.
Glad you made it as a baby FMF.... you're good people. "A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned." http://www.myspace.com/6ixstringjack
