I wince a little as I put my left my left hand in my pocket as it’s all cut up and sprained from wrenching in a tight engine compartment and dropping large portions of the truck on it. I have to laugh at the irony because the other arm has the serious injuries like the crooked pinky from being broken that hurts when its cold and the arm laceration the mostly just itches at odd times, like when drinking.

As I’m laughing I remember the scene in Die Hard 4 after Bruce Willis flies the car into the helicopter and starts laughing maniacally; this is common in the series. I think, I’d laugh too, and suddenly consider that watching too many action movies may have been a big part of my culture, however self initiated.
