Think I had a concussion too, slight nausea, definite groggy.

Thursday at 4:30pm I was slammed into on Olympic in West Los Angeles, minding my own business, heading east towards Staples Center and the Laker Game.

Mild traffic, cruise to a stop behind a Lexus…

Then BOOM, I get hammered, crush test dummied around courtesy of a under-21 driver who claims he was hit from behind.

So here’s the deal… bumper to bumper, his plate is embedded on my bumper, my antenna now makes a sound when going up and down, some front hood damage as well, allignment and frame off, etc…

Me, I’m messed up.

My neck, spine and back. Feeling burning sensations up and down upper spine, hands are week, can’t rotate neck, tender, sharp pains, etc…

No lie, not a scammer, just wanna get back to pre-accident levels.

Really sucks, why? Because I’m a good person who minds his own business, displaying and accomplishing non-aggressive defensive lifestyle choices.

Can’t play drums
Can’t pitch
Can’t swing bat
Can’t go to gym
Can’t perform normal comedy routine
Look like I want attention due to the pain –> vibe at Starbucks this afternoon
Don’t wanna have a lifetime of neck and back problems
I am beyond flexible, known for it, not anymore
Depressed and sad, not lonely!

Honestly, I think I broke some bones and tweaked or ruptured something.

Doctor on Monday. Spoke to attorney. Everyone is insured, I’m covered. But I’m down in the dumps, stiff like a non-athlete looking type…

Life will go on, just not gonna be the same Brody for a while.

And you’ll say who cares? And I’m saying, you really should care, slow down and put yourself in my Nike Air Max 360’s (two pair at Finish Line, wearing only one group at time of impact). This unfortunate nightmare effects a lot of people.

These are just some the individuals and phenomenons I’ve been associated with for the last 20 years. (New challenges will certainly abound in my post fusion, nerve, lumbar world!)

Now do you see?

My energy and honest spirit, tied in with a blue collar Jewish work ethic produces results on the stage, off the field, on the mound, behind the drums at Guitar Center, in line at Dave and Buster’s or dealing with awkward silence on a television sound stage.

Or we can get weird, delving into late 60’s/early 70’s family crossings with Manson up near Chatsworth.

I just spooked you like The Strangers.

Remember, I think I’m concussed
