A Life Lesson to all of you

Yes.  I have learned an important life lesson that I feel is worthy of sharing with all of you, and because it is a good thing to keep in mind, not for comedic relief.  Okay, maybe a little bit for that.
I went go karting on Tuesday night with my younger brother and his boy scout troop- yay me!  I've never been the best at go karting, but I had it in my head that I was going to whoop Every.  Single.  One.  Of.  Their.  Sorry.  Butts.  When I was through, I would no longer be just "Mouse."  I would be The Mouse that Roared. 
These go karts were exceptionally fast go karts.  I'm talking 40 mph fast.  In an open go kart, wearing nothing but a helmet and a neck guard. 
So you could imagine the pain when you ram said go kart into the wall at 40 mph.  Don't do it.  Ignore the clock and the fact that you're in last place.  Don't speed up the go kart so you lose control while trying to turn.  It's just a bad idea.  My head jerked back and I pulled a bunch of muscles in the back of my neck, and I still came in 9th place out of 9 in one race, and 6th out of 6th in the next.  Did I mention that I hit the wall at this speed three times?
So yes.  Don't do it.
