As CIRCUMSTANCES alter, PERSPECTIVES change.

... 'Tis TRUE both in the LITERAL- & METAPHORICAL-interpretation.

... LITERALLY, my CATASTROPHIC-accident left me (TEMPORARILY-) "paralyzed".  SINCE then, ... over EIGHT FULL-YEARS ago, I've been WHEELCHAIR-bound/-dependent.  ... THUS, I've "SEEN" my EVERYDAY-world from a DIFFERENT "ANGLE"/"point-of-VIEW".  I experienced--FIRST-hand--society's PREVALENT-view/opinion of the "HANDICAPPED" as "SAD" & "SUB-humanly".  ... I'd SETTLE-for "PATHETIC".
(... 'Cuz "breaking'-DOWN the word", it LITERALLY-means 
"OF or PERTAINING-to excess-FEELINGS/EMOTIONS")

... METAPHORICALLY, given my SEVERELY-DIMINISHED PHYSICAL-stature/-presence, I have DIFFERENT-PRIORITIES & OBJECTIVES.  ... I'm NOW more focused-ON SOMEHOW-finding a "LIFE-partner" ... to PREVENT my BOREDOM & imminent-DWELLING.


--  "There's a DIFFERENCE-betwen an 'EXPLANATION' & an 'EXCUSE'!"
(--'NUMB3RS')
... I caN'T--YET--SOLO-WALK, 'cuz MANY of my LEG-NERVES were SEVERED.
(... THAT's just-SCIENCE!)
... I haveN'T--YET--earned a BLACK belt, 'cuz ... I'm just too-DISTRACTED ... & LACKADAISICAL to try-MORE       


-- Last NIGHT, I went-DOWN to a Miami-BAR with my brother AND my housemate ... to meet two of my housemate's friends ... for a SPIRITED-game of Bar-TRIVIA.
... THAT was a "HOOT"!

... We ARRIVED-at SAID-"bar" half an hour LATE, 'cuz my housemate heard the game-details WRONG.  
... Yet, we STILL were ONLY 15 points out-of PLACING! 


-- Toward the BEGINNING of my "UPPER body"-workout I asked my trainer, 
"WHICH do you PREFER--'ACCURACY' or 'PRECISION'?"
He chuckled & asked the DIFFERENCE.
I explained:''
"'ACCURACY' is the 'the CLOSENESS of A trial-result TO the ACTUAL-outcome', while 'PRECISION' is 'REPEATABILITY of trialS'."  


-- "Well, ... what you NEED is some SUMMERTIME ADOLESCENT-hijinks."
(--Kramer, 'Seinfeld')

... I'm TRYIN'-to get PERMISSION-to SWIM in MY-POOL!
... I've GOTTA go-OUTSIDE ... more ... to get MORE of a TAN!  
... I'd LIKE-to go-TO the MOVIE-theater more to see the GREAT SUMMER-"flicks"!


-- (WARNING) EARLY this morning, not-ONLY did I "WELCOME a SEMI-SOLID 'FECAL-FRENZY'" ... at ~12:45pm, but I actually SEMI-SMELLED the SUPER-STINKY STENCH!
(... "Alliteration aside."  'Twas QUITE the RELIEF ... & FAUX-BARF!)
