Happy holidays everyone! Hope you all are having fun on your break (if you get one). I was home for a brief 4 days and commuted the 5th day back to Palo Alto. It's nice being home but I am starting to get the feeling that my space there is just too small for me now. I can't wait till I have my own home. I was reading my older blogs from back in the college days. Wow, was that a long time ago. It's funny to see how things have changed. I don't even write that often but I am beginning to appreciate how nice it is to have some documentation of where you are in different parts of your life.

Well, I almost died during my break. I was on the 405N around 4PM the day after Christmas. I was driving my little civic and was in this car's blind spot. He decides to change lanes and Iswerve to miss him but I lost control of my car and spun out. It was scary as I spun in an entire 360 and was looking at all the oncoming traffic on the freeway. Luckily I managed to complete the circle and go straight off. It's a miracle that I didn't spin out into another car or into the median. There is nothing more frightening I've ever experienced than realizing that you are facing the wrong way on the freeway. But I guess it wasn't my time yet and God let me live another day. Hopefully I'll do something good with my life to make it worthwhile. Cheers to that. Happy New Years!
