The Crash II: Aftermath of Doing the Right Thing
A while back I wrote a post entitle “The Crash” Describing in detail an incident that I witness involving an old woman turning left while not seeing a young man going straight. By the title I think you can understand what happened. Being conflicted with this moral center or hero’s complex that I have, I had to stop and help and was first to the scene and saw everything that happened. I still remember the woman’s first words she spoke to me, “What happened?” That pretty much says it all in my mind.
This was all fine and dandy because no one was hurt until I got a notice in the mail requesting my presence in court. If there is one thing you do not want to come in the mail, it is a notice to appear in court. From what I can gather the old woman, who is a widow by the way, may be getting her license taken away and this hearing is to address that matter.
As I type I am on hold with the circuit court to find out if there is still a trial tomorrow. If so I have to go and speak under oath about the crash and all that I witnessed. If you haven’t figured it out already I will say it. This is bad news. I am now in a moral dilemma because I have to speak the truth of what I saw but when I do it will probably mean this woman will lose her license, have no transportation and no way to live on her own any longer. Yikes.
So, anyway, I just got off the phone and the case is still on. So tomorrow at 1 p.m. I take the plunge and tell my tale. I just hope it is the right thing to do and everything works out. Yeah, right.

Questions (to think about) La Partie Deux
[Warning: this one is a little morbid to thing about.]
If you died tomorrow and all who ever knew you came to your funeral, what would they say and how would they remember you?

R.I.P. My Favorite Hat 2004-2007
It is hard to talk about even still. I am so distraught over the loss of one so close to me that it is hard to bear. My black and white superman hat came with me to six flags yesterday and is now no more after a terrible flying accident on the roller coaster it represented, the Superman Ultimate Flight.
In that dreadful moment of the enormous loop that nearly took the wind out of me my hat was sprung loose from my protection and was with me no more. I will miss you my friend. Rest in peace.

Questions (to think about) Numbero Uno
If you have to lie to back up your beliefs, then are your beliefs really worth believing in?

MRI = Nap Time
So I was playing b-ball with my buddy Ron Johnson and attempted to make what would have been an amazing shot (so all the following is totally worth it) and long story short I landed wrong and made a boo-boo on my ankle. Since then I have had doctor’s appointment after doctor’s appointment, an unsuccessful x-ray (yeah doctors couldn’t figure it out), and finally an MRI this morning.
I have never been in an MRI machine before and being that I have a titanium plate on my hip I was a little concerned but the doc assured me that it was all good. So, after being set in the machine, which looked like a giant pizza oven, I was quick to relax… In fact I relaxed so much that I dosed off for the forty five minutes or so that I was being cooked in the pizza oven.
I should find out the results in a couple of day but I think the best thing that came out of it… It was the best sleep I have had all week.

BOO YAH!
Every once in a while I get a great design in my head. A few days ago I got just that and ran with it. Now, the new WarrenGreeley.com is something I can be proud of. Besides the obvious changes like the look of the site, some other things that are different are more content too offer about who I am and what I do, improved and updated photo galleries, and an overall better experience while on the site.
I want to hear feedback on what you think so let me know by Contacting Me.

ZOMBIE RAMBLING
I would have to say I have not been getting the television doctor recommended amount of sleep. There is so much to do and me being the non-stop machine that I am, keep adding to the load. Now on top of my Top Secret project that I spilled the beans on in the last blog entry, I am also doing a little remodeling for this site. Yes, again I am redoing the site. Why? Good question.
Anyway, be expecting to see a new look for this good ol’ site. Also, I’ll keep updating on all the other things I am doing to turn myself into a zombie. Now I am going to get some sleep.
Oh, check out JohnMayer.com/blog and read his blog entry about LIVE EARTH. It’s a good read… Save the planet and all that shenanigans.
