Such stupidity needs no title

Everyone has seen Transformers, right?

You know that one scene where Josh Duhamel (the yummy army guy) rides the motorcycle towards the Decepticons, purposely falls off the bike, and slides while shooting his gun directly at the robots. Well, besides sounding like a complete dork, I had my own similar episode; minus the robots, guns, or the coolness.

So I was on my way to Ron's work on my Saturday off. I decided to take my bike because it was a beautiful winter day. The snow was starting to melt after heavily snowing a couple days before. Usually people don't bike in the winter time. The ice can really mess up the friction with the bike and there is a big decrease in traction...

What does that mean?

So I started riding. As I rode, I saw a patch of ice that I thought I can quickly go through before any of the "scary ice" can supposedly get me. As I rode through it, I did the natural regaining my balance by moving my handle bars a teeny bit. No sooner had I moved it a millimeter, when my bike completely slipped from under me, which created a beautiful (for other people) and painful (for me) slide on the ice. I must have slid a good 5 feet. I got up the same way ice skaters get up after they fall from their triple luxe. Although sadly, my reason for falling wasn't as graceful. It felt very Matrix and very Mr. Bean at the same time. Needless to say, I have full understanding and respect for the scary ice.

Ouch for Christmas!
