... I MISS MY COLLEGE-days, ... during-which the "TRUMP-card"/"PUNISHMENT to/for ANY-argument was to

"FINISH your 'tasty-beverage'*!"** 

(... AAAHHH, CHEERS to my "fraternity-inspired, HIGHLY-SOCIAL BRILLIANCE" of "the days of YORE"!***)

... I APPLIED my ENGINEERING-CREATIVITY to DIRECT the CONSTRUCTION of the 
~10' by ~3' "A.J. Kaynatma Table of Competitive-Drinking".
... I "ESTABLISHED" NUMEROUS--probably LIFELONG--friendships via MULTIPLE--"alcohol-HEAVY"--"par-TAYS"!
... I "SECURED" my FIRST SEMI-POST/IN college JOB with an ENGINEERING-firm ... owned by the father of my girlfriend--AT THE TIME.  
((... SHE attended a NEARBY-college.  But, she FREQUENTED WELL-KNOWN 'S.A.E.' ('Sigma Alpha Epsilon') (my fraternal-organization).

-- Be "OPEN" to ... WHATEVER "comes NEXT".

... I am TIRED-of this ... "DISABILITY" ... AND the IGNORANCE of society about what I CAN & CAN'T DO!  I am so, so, SSSOOOOO READY-for "the NEXT STEP"!
(... PUN IN-tended!)  


-- NICE "SPEECH-session"!  I played Scrabble (ALWAYS-FUN!), exercised my TONGUE * LIPS A LOT, practiced VERBALIZING MULTI-syllabic word-recitation in assorted-sentences & ATE two EGGS.


... IMMEDIATELY-AFTER "Speech", I watched some 'Dazed & Confused'.
(... MUCH-NEEDED LAUGHTER!)


-- ANOTHER GREAT Karate-class!
The KID-students are DEMONSTRATING their UNDERSTANDING.  ... Two NEW parents "BEFRIENDED me", as I "voiced" my TEACHING-critiques of the 'Karateka'.  ... "Professor" TOLD me--after I VERBALLY-asked--that he's WORKIN'-on CONVERTING the VHS-recording of MY "BLACK BELT"-test to a DVD ... for MY-possession.
(... YAY!) 



-- I went-to BED last night--FOOLISHLY in a SUB-par mood, 'cuz my FAVORITE baseball team had LOST yesterday.  
... But, "after 'SLEEPING-on it", I realized that I shouldN'T be SO EASILY-unfluenced by NEGATIVE ATHLETIC-news ... that I caN'T CONTROL!

... PLUS, MY-team WON TODAY.  So, 'tis OKAY.
