FEELING TOTALLY ALIVE AND ON THE EDGE OF DEATH
Oct 11, 2008 | 10:55PM | report this

Race car drivers face it each day.  Truck drivers do too.  Xgames contestants perform some of the most unbelievable stunts...and don't quite hit their mark...a driver's tire blows and he hits the wall...a truck driver hits his brakes at 55, watching the wreck in front of him,  as his, or her, trailer starts jack knifing...drag racer spins the wheels, motor bike drag racer spins the wheel for .002 secs...The Preacher carrying home his family from church as that old tree fell...the soldier throwing down his weapon to grab a first aid kit for his buddy...the officer that's the first in the door of a drug house...the passerby that sees an officer fighting with several people and gets involved...

got your attention yet?

the little short bull rider weighing 150 pounds getting on 1850 pounds of fury-stock contractor told me,"shorty, these bulls all just came off the PBR circuit". yep the stuff you all watch on tv---I got on one in the chute and tied my hand in,as my buddy pulled my rope, adjusted my hat, shuffled my feet and clinched my ####...I was dumb enough to nod my head...I had  a good holt, but he was stroooong and jerking me off my rope...I had to reach with every jump and get a new seat...he was stronger than I thought but I couldn't let him know that-with each jump I tried to reach forward and get a new hold with my my spurs and trying to stay in the center...he rocked me to that left and he was going right...kept throwing my left free arm over and diggin' with my right spur, still tryin' to adjust my #### in the center...he had me a bit off the center as the buzzer went off and I knew I was in trouble...right handed rider and he keeps going away from me becuzzz that bull knew I was on the left and in trouble-bull fighters knew it too...they came and tried but he just tossed them away...I just made the whistle on a bad #### bull and now I'm hung up on him...I tried the best I could, but he kept buckin'...I slowly slipped till I lost my feet-no bull rider ever wants that-my hand is still in the rope-now I'm being dragged and beaten-bad day at the office-the punishment finally ended when he stepped on my left knee, which extended my arm length a bit-I had been underneath that bull being drug, my rope had slid with my hand still tied in...I seen his  manhood in my face,  as well as his hooves, and somewhwere in that hell I told GOD "I'm sorry, because I know I'm gonna die".

GOD did  bring me out of that mess.  I took first place at that bull ridin' but I couldn't walk right for 4 months.  And I had permission to ride from the military.

Hey is bull ridin' meant to be anecdote to try and stem one's sexual frustrations ? But forgive me I just don't get it. There'd be no way I hell I'd get on the back of a 3,000 lb bull. Now if a chick wants to ride me side saddle then I've no problems with that.

Just keep the faith I'm pullin' for you bud.
I've some new pieces up within the forum for which I've provided you a link below. Just click on the text as usual. I'll look forward to reading your comments.

I can't imagine the strength and determination you had to do that. You really are a fighter and survivor, x. Hope things are looking up for you and your current battle.

Top-I'm confused a bit-have not read the article-I saw a post that headlines said you were leaving?????I'll try to find out-and check out your articles-I just can't keep up with everything-I used to be in charge of Marines lives-now I have trouble getting out of bed each day-bull ridin' was nuthin' but a pure adrenalin rush-oh, by the way, when I was young, every cowgirl loved a good bull rider-lol-lol-lol-what a mistake-lol-lol

Tfan, vol, photo-that bull ridin' story was TRUE-from the heart-I lived it-a long time ago-the reason why I quit major competition-sure, I was still ignorant enough to still get on again and say my prayers-just on lesser quality bulls-becuzz I DID NOT WANT TO QUIT-that's why I was a Marine-I wouldn't quit-I'm a bit confused but the fight in my heart has been awakened-Dave

Just take your time and as and when you're ready man. I know what you're going through. It's never a good thing especially when you feel that you're not being ably assisted as you should be by those you felt you could count on. Namely the VA and the present administration.

As I'd stated to tiger' earlier in his post I'll return from time to time to comment on pieces that are of interest to me.
But as I'd explained to him it's not an indictment of the contributors within the forum but the proprietor Fox. They've basically done little to serve the patrons who've gone out of their way to try and make the place amenable.

What the hell is happening to the Cowboys ? And I thought that much vaunted defense of the Ravens was something to write home about ?
Someone should've sent the script to Peyton Manning and his teammates. That pastin' wasn't expected.

God kept you around because your time is not done here. I do think your love to ride the bulls might need to be put on hold for a while.
Keep the faith Shorty.
Cheers.

Shorty-

As much as I don't want to see you get hurt, it's in your blood, cowboy.

Life ain't no dress rehearsal...you get one shot to do what you want to do, so go with your heart and know we keep ya in our prayers!

Hugs.

Hey X, GREAT story about the Big Bad Bull! In it is a good lesson for anyone to learn: namely to persevere in the most difficult of circumstances. Your posts find a way to encourage me. Thanks my friend. Keep up the good work!

forensic and lisa-this story happened a long time ago-thanks for your comments and concern-a bull rider gets one shot and it wasn't meant to be to follow that dream-you push too hard and get hurt, sometimes you have to #### your pride-I have a great family now and the only bull I want on is on a plate with steak sauce!!!lol
