So, I just finished watching Final Destination 5. 
Movies like that scare the ever loving crap out of me. Why? Because you can't fight back against accidents. 
But have you ever thought about cheating death? Or ever even noticed if you had or not?
The Final Destination series is based off the ideal that if you "cheat death" by surviving some major disaster that you weren't supposed to survive, death will come back for you, one way or another. 
I was watching it, thinking, "Ha. At least none of this terrible stuff will happen to me because I haven't cheated death." 


But man, I've actually cheated death a lot.
A perfect example is my car accident last October. I mean, I hit another car, head on, going 50 mph. And I walked away without even a minor scratch. I wasn't even sore the next day. I would call that cheating death. I've also fallen off of/out of moving vehicles onto asphalt, I was in tae kwon do for 10 years, I went into severe anaphylactic shock when I was 12 or 13 because I was stung by a wasp, I've fallen off of bulkheads into choppy dangerous water and had my legs trapped between rocks and glass, I've choked on numerous occasions (but managed to dislodge the item myself), and I've had several brushes with sketchy individuals who I'm sure meant me harm. But, here I am. 


Maybe some people are just better at cheating death than others.
