Oh, WOE is ME!
...
Since I'm OBSESSED with any/ALL SPORTS, it's the time of year in which JUST ABOUT
THE ONLY viewable sport (PRO/COLLEGE football) is on the WEEKENDS.
So, I MIGHT be bloggin' more OFTEN.

...
(Also, I've GOTTA give a KUDOS to my UPPER-body trainer!)
So, from Saturday, August 31st, 2013 at ~4:00 pm to Monday, September 30th, 2013 at ~1:00 pm, I have NOT openly complained of NECK-pain.
(That's ~30 days ~ 720 hours ~ 43200 minutes ~ 2,592,000 seconds.)
Now, I HAVE TO factor in the time LESS THAN a FULL day:
(... + ~21 hours ~ 1260 minutes ~ 75600 seconds)
... Ergo, that would be ~30.875 days.
More specifically/PRECISELY, it's
741 hours OR 44,460 minutes.
EVEN MORE EXACTLY, it's ~2,667,600 seconds.
... Maybe I'm FINALLY listening to the advice/tips from my trainers about BETTER "posture" and STRAIGHTENED "head/neck-positioning", and my neck-strength is IMPROVING.
("Knock on wood.")
YAY!

"We CANNOT 'see' the choices we do NOT make."--The Oracle, 'The Matrix Reloaded'
I CHOSE TO drive home from Karate-class on that FATEFUL, INFAMOUS July 7, 2008 (6/7/08 = numbers = YEAH!) morning.
I'm NOT a "spur of the moment"/SPONTANEOUS/"fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" kinda guy--ESPECIALLY POST-accident.
EVERYTHING must be PLANNED!
(... I NEED extra prep-time, since EVERYTHING takes me LONGER to do in lieu of my injuries--EXCEPT mental math.)
(... ACTUALLY, I think that my "mental math"-capabilities have somehow IMPROVED!
Since I struggle to CONSISTENTLY, LEGIBLY write, I RELY/"DEPEND ON" my "brain-POWER" now MORE THAN EVER.)
... Ergo, PRE-accident my "MENTAL math"-STRENGTH" was only a "LUXURY".
Now, it's more of a "NECESSITY".
Conclusions:

The math is just WRONG!

RELAX! I meant the "office"'s adding was BLATANTLY WRONG--not MINE!
(Y'all thought I committed BLASPHEMY by speaking harsh words about MY calculations.
NOOOOOOO!)
( DON'T revere me as some kind of a math-GOD.
I DO make--INFREQUENT--errors. Contrary to popular belief, I AM--rather IN-frequently--"fallible"--with NUMBERS.
I just "speak" the same "language" as numbers.
I'm quite fluent in "NUMEROLOGY".)
... This past Thursday, I had an appointment to see my "podiatrist" ("foot-doctor").
((I was monitoring my watch, 'cuz my ex-girlfriend's O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) kinda "rubbed off on me".))
I sat--twiddling my thumbs"--in the "WAITING room" of a close-to-EMPTY office for 84 minutes. ... My appointment lasted LESS THAN six minutes.
WHAT SENSE DOES IT MAKE, when I see the ACTUAL DOCTOR for less than (6/84 =) 1/14th of the time I "WAITED"?!
So, I was with my doctor for (~6/90 =) ~1/15th of my "IN-OFFICE" time.
(OBVIOUSLY, our government/society is NOT "Utilitarian"--a creed by which we'd strive for "the greatest GOOD for the greatest NUMBER".)

So, as Mr. Andy Dufresne of 'The Shawshank Redemption' states:
"Remember HOPE is a good thing--maybe the BEST of things."
Also, my PHENOMENAL gym--"NeuroFit 360"--has the word "HOPE" painted on the ceiling.
BRILLIANT!
So, although I graduated from a HERALDED Ivy League college at age 22--and I'm CURRENTLY 28--I feel that my GREATEST achievement--my "PEAK"--would/WILL be when I--WITHOUT any assistance--walk again.

According to LITTLE "Ray"
... (the little kid in the movie, 'Jerry Maguire'):
"The HUMAN HEAD weighs EIGHT pounds."
THIS is very true ... to a degree.
(The AVERAGE--MALE--human brain weighs APPROXIMATELY three pounds.
HOWEVER, the TYPICAL--FEMALE--brain weighs APPROXIMATELY only 2.8 pounds.
Analysis:
WOMEN "pack more in the (MENTAL) punch" than their MALE counterparts.
... Ray ALSO claimed:
"BEES and DOGS can smell FEAR."
(The jury's still out on that one. But, the verdict's looking' like a "YES, it's TRUE.")
I bring this film up, because I TOTALLY agree with Mr. Maguire:
He stated, "If you come at me,
... you WILL LOSE!"
(Based on my 21+ years of "martial arts"-training, I EXUDE confidence in my self-defense--DESPITE my physical-disabilities.)

At first, I had an IDEA that I'd WALK again.
After my recent PHYSICAL-PROGRESS at my SPECTACULAR gym ("NeuroFit 360"), I now BELIEVE I'll eventually WALK.

So, a new staff-member at my SPECTACULAR gym ("NeuroFit 360") provided me with some GREAT, HELPFUL tips that I'll HOPEFULLY remember.
She (CRUD! There goes the gender-secrecy.) repeatedly NAGGED me about my POOR head/neck-positioning.
(Cue the gender-stereotypes.)
I MIGHT better remember HER "needling", 'cuz FE-males generally use your explanation to help determine determine a SUITABLE "answer".
MALES just "assume" ("NEVER 'assume', 'cuz that makes an ASS out of U & ME.") they already KNOW their way is BEST.

WAY TO GO, trainers!
...
The "messages"/"nerve- & muscle-impulses" are FINALLY getting from my brain to my MANY muscles (~206)!

(EVERY TIME I have to get out of my wheelchair, I INSIST on pushing up AND STANDING UP ... MYSELF!)
2) My posture and endurance are MUCH IMPROVING, thanks MAINLY to my "work" with the "TRX" (standing & stretching cords).

RESULTS:

7.5/38.5 = ~ 0.195 "cups of food"/minute ... with NO stomach-ailments
YAY!

...
The said PHENOMENAL FACILITY ("Alliteration aside."--'Dodgeball') purchased a new machine that I used today. So, I acted as a "guinea pig" for it.
(I forgot the NAME of the machine! ... I'll get it. ...)
LONG story SHORT:
I STOOD next to the machine as I gripped the two handles--one in each hand.
Both sides were WEIGHTED.
I would LIFT/RAISE/"PULL 'BACK'//'UP" one WEIGHTED handle as I would LOWER/"PUSH DOWN" the opposite side.
This was NOT asked of me, but I'm ALWAYS trying to "BETTER myself":
As I LIFTED one arm, I would SIMULTANEOUSLY lower my other arm VERY SLOWLY--to "build"/develop my MUSCLE-CONTROL.

Tuesday (9/17/13):
... Same as the day before.
(IMPROVING, I finished in ~SIX MINUTES.)
Wednesday (9/18/13):
I changed to a banana.
(I ate the FIRST half from HOLDING the banana and its peel.
As the banana's size DECREASED, my nurse eventually just sliced it up.)
(I finished in ~EIGHT MINUTES.)
Thursday (9/19/13):
... Same as the day before.
ONLY today, the banana was already sliced.
(... Ergo, I finished the banana in ~FOUR MINUTES.)
NO indigestion or ANY other problems.
Thus,
YAY!
So, I've begun to feed MYSELF--via mouth INSTEAD OF via "g-tube".
(For now, doing this procedure will LIMIT my necessary caloric-intake by "g-tube".)
(... I gotta take "Baby Steps"--'What about Bob?')
I've been eating at lunchtime the past FOUR days.
DAILY Consumption-Log:
(My goal is ALWAYS to finish my "meal" in UNDER 20 minutes--like at a NORMAL social meal.)
Monday (9/16/13):
I used a fork to eat diced peaches.
(I ate ~ONE CUP in ~TEN MINUTES.)
Tuesday (9/17/13):
... Same as the day before.
(IMPROVING, I finished in ~SIX MINUTES.)
Wednesday (9/18/13):
I changed to a banana.
(I ate the FIRST half from HOLDING the banana and its peel.
As the banana's size DECREASED, my nurse eventually just sliced it up.)
(I finished in ~EIGHT MINUTES.)
Thursday (9/19/13):

ONLY today, the banana was already sliced.

NO indigestion or ANY other problems.
Thus,
YAY!

SSSHHH! I have SIMILAR-THINKING accomplices in Hollywood, CA. SSSHHH!
... The WRITER, CREATOR and DIRECTOR of the
TERRIFIC, MATH-based/concentrated television-show,

Jedi-Master Yoda of 'Star Wars' preaches:
"DO or DO NOT. There is no 'TRY'."

HOWEVER, Mr. Miyagi of ''The Karate Kid' teaches:
"Don't say you CAN'T. You must TRY."
(I've only had over 21 years of INTENSE "martial arts-training".)
CONCLUSION:
We "LEARN from our MISTAKES."
Ergo, we MUST apply "TRIAL and error".

'Cogito ergo sum.'
...
(It's Latin for 'I THINK, therefore I AM.')
(My LOGICAL, CLEAR-MINDED thinking "falls" in DIRECT contrast to the thoughts/opinions/beliefs of the American government.)
Although I cannot consistently speak cogently--YET--or walk--YET, I can still VERY CLEARLY/LUCIDLY understand MUCH of what happens around me.
((... Also, since I struggle to consistently write LEGIBLY, I MUST do A LOT of MENTAL MATH.
My mom MARVELS at my "MELODIOUS" mental-mathematical mastery (--"Alliteration aside."--'Dodgeball')!))
Not only do I occasionally MENTALLY "balance my mom's checkbook, but I monitor MY OWN finances by "CRUNCHING numbers" ... IN MY HEAD.
P.S. I didn't even STUDY Latin in academia. I was in the "SPANISH Honor Society".
(Using ebonics, "I just KNOW shit.")
((... Pardon my expletive. I just used it to--humorously (I HOPE!)--"illustrate" my point.

'Ya hear that?
... Olivia Newton-John is singing her hit song "Let's Get ... Physical. PHYSICAL!"
So, I abided.
FIRST, I went to one of my dojos to prepare for my next Karate/'Jiujitsu'-TEACHING lesson/class.
NEXT, I came home, lied/lay down on my cushioned table in my exercise-room and SAID I'd do 20 crunches. (... So, I did 25.)
"The difference between 'ordinary' and 'EXTRAORDINARY' is that little EXTRA."
('Waiting')
FINALLY, I did 30 squats while holding my shower-rail.
(The MOST squats I usually do is 25 reps.)
I guess that my endurance and core-strength really ARE IMPROVING!
(Thank you, "NueroFit 360".)

Montell (Jordan) understands.
... As Mr. Jordan states--in song:
Seeing as it's Friday night,
(T.G.I.F.)
"This is how we do it
La ra ra ra ra ra...
This is how we do it.
It's Friday night, and I feel all right
The party is here on the West side
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver take the keys to my truck
Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo we made it!"
It feels so good in my hood tonight
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by
You gotta get your groove on, before you go get paid
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
1- I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors you got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track, bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)
This is how we do it, all hands are in the air
And wave them from here to there
If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be player
You see the hood's been good to me
Ever since I was a lower-case G
But now I'm a big G. The girls see I got the money
A hundred-dollar bills y'all
If you were from where I'm from then you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64
Whatever it is, the party's underway
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
(repeat 1...)
I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
YNV, SCC, all my homies
(This is how we do it)
I'll never come wack on an old school track."
Rap:
"Check it out!
Once upon a time in '94
Montell made no money and life sure was slow
All they said was 6'8" he stood
And people thought the music that he made was good
There lived a D.J. and Paul was his name
He came up to Monty, this is what he said
You and OG are gonna make some cash
Sell a million records and we'll make in a dash."
( ... "The West side" of the Atlantic")
( ... "The ROYAL 'We', the EDITORIAL ..."--'The Big Lebowski')
(So, this song translates:
PHYSICALLY, I'm making GREAT PROGRESS!
(Now, MY-version … entitled 'With TIME & WORK, I'll Dooo It':)
"So, of course, I'll DOOO it.
La ra ra ra ra ra...
So, of course I'll DO IT.
I hear dat 'weekend-BELL', & I'm doin' rather WELL.
Da walkin''s here in DAY-VEE.
My brain 'messages' my legs but no RIH-PLY.
My iron-WILL 'brushes my brain AH-SIDE'
And claims, 'Yo, I got DIS.'
Patients at my gym MARVEL, 'Look at DAT!'
It feels so good in my brain TUH-NIGHT.
The thoughts of my eventual WALKIN' & TALKIN'
Have 'triggered' me with HOPE. So, I got-to THINKIN'.
''I've gotta SHIFT through my HIPS, when I 'WALK'.''
That E-LIM-IH-NATES my hip-PAIN.
(CHORUS:)
I'm kinda SAD, & it's all bih-CAUSE
(Of course, I'll do it.)
MY mind controls it like NOBODY DOES!
(Of course, I'll do it.)
To ALL you 'HATUHS', you've got much DOUBT!
(Of course, I'll do it.)
I shaN'T give-up & POUT!
(Of course, I'll do it.)
Of course I'll do it--WALKING with my eyes UP in the AIR.
I'll casually-STROLL from here to there.
Since I've LONG-been athletic & 'wicked-SMAHT',
Combining the two's been QUITE the AHT!
Ever since I was 'just a lil' FAHT',
I've been MASTER-ful with NUMBUHS!
I need yo' 'DIGITS', LADIES!
If I could express my psychological-pain, I WOULD.
WHEN I can explain my intense-FRUSTRATIONS,
ONLY then MIGHT y'all 'get ME'.
Regardless of nerves, recovery BEGINS!
So, be impressed & doN'T criti-CIZE!
Nevertheless, my rehab's under-WAY.
So, tip your cap but do NOT be-LITTLE!
I can 'READ' … your FACE!
(Repeat CHORUS)
Fellow-HOPERS & -BELIEVERS,
(Of course, I'll do it.)
My WILL & PRIDE woN'T let me QUIT!"
(RAP:)
"Yo, yo, YO! Check it-OUT!
Once upon a time, back in '08,
I HAVE two black belts, but I love-to TEACH!
I sought-to show another great 'tech-NEEK'!
The students all-thanked me for being so GOOD!
I like-to combine jujitsu with WRESTLING.
In THAT-respect, my lessons are quite 'you-NEEK'.Y'all students are gonna GAIN some SKILLS,
Provided you doN'T 'run for the HILLS!"

Rather than--PREVIOUSLY--email my blog-posts to "the Creator" (... Am I in 'The Matrix'?!)--the "middleman"--for him to revise before posting MY (sometimes VERY RANDOM) thoughts, I NOW regulate MY/ALL blog-action.
On that note, PLEASE feel free to "COMMENT" on ANY post you (my readers) so desire.

The IOC "realized the (BLATANT) error of their ways":
...
(As a former high school and collegiate WRESTLER, I am APPALLED that this particular sport-ELIMINATION was even CONSIDERED!
...
"SHOUT-OUTS" to my "BRO-SKEE"!
...
1) Although my speech is NOT always "intelligible"/comprehensible/CLEAR, my brother understood EXACTLY what I JUST said.
((As we watched the Miami Dolphins-Cleveland Browns (FOOTBALL) game, he comprehended, when I shouted "GOOD CALL" after a CORRECTLY-overturned "challenge".
(So, it certainly HELPS, when "my audience" understands the CONCEPT of my "subject-matter".
2) Recently, my YOUNGER MALE-counterpart (Read: "YOUNGER BROTHER") was demonstrating--to his girlfriend--how to PROPERLY conjugate verbs in Turkish. (He and I are HALF-Turkish.)
(I KNEW/KNOW how to do said foreign-conjugation, but the "REVIEW" was MUCH APPRECIATED!)

"The GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY"
... I recently developed an UNFORTUNATE cut.
( :( )
...
GOOD:
The location of said cut forces me to use my leg-STRENGTH to push off my wheelchair-footrests in order to maintain SEMI-comfort.
...
BAD:
Said cut is, SURPRISINGLY VERY painful.
...
UGLY:
Said cut is on my 'gluteus maximus' (BUTT).

How to resolve/settle ANY argument:
...
Employ the CLASSIC game, "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock".
RULES:
- Scissors cut paper
- Paper covers rock
- Rock crushes lizard
- Lizard poisons Spock
- Spock smashes (or melts) scissors
- Scissors decapitate lizard
- Lizard eats paper
- Paper disproves Spock
- Spock vaporizes rock
- Rock breaks scissors
There are ten possible pairings of the five gestures; each gesture beats two of the other gestures and is beaten by the remaining two.

'"Baby Steps'"
...
No, I'm not JUST quoting the title of the book written by Dr. Leo Marvin in the movie, 'What About Bob?'.
... I am summarizing my strategy/improvements in my WALKING--with the aid of leaning on my walker.
(... My analysis is BOTH literal AND metaphorical.)
P.S. "SHOUT-OUT" to my PHENOMENAL LEGS/TRUNK-training gym--"NeuroFit 360"!
... YET AGAIN:
...
"It's all ANGLES."
... I exemplified such a GREAT IMPROVEMENT in my LEFT shoulder straight-armed INCLINATION that I decided to take an ESTIMATE of my NEW "line of inclination".
Sitting in my wheelchair, I kept my LEFT arm STRAIGHT, while I REPEATEDLY lifted it to ~126 degrees from straight down against my side.
GREAT workout today!
...
ONE day per week--today--I "work" my UPPER-body.
While THREE days per week I "exercise" my LOWER-body and CORE/TRUNK.
TODAY, my ARM-trainer remarked just how "AWESOME" my IMPROVEMENT in my LEFT arm-RANGE of MOTION is!
Also, I did two sets of 15 curls of a FIVE POUND small dumbbell--with my LEFT/WEAKER/INJURED arm.
(Granted, NORMALLY, this is NOT a NORMAL "big deal". But, I'm NOT "normal".)
Considering my MAXIMUM curling-weight was previously ONLY TWO or THREE pounds--lifted on only two occasions, this is
GREAT!

... Alliteration, Part II
... Over the last ~"few" months, I've been testing my "MULTI-tasking" ability. Up to TWICE per day, I've--SIMULTANEOUSLY--applied my deodorant--using BOTH arms, ONE-at-a-time--while my "caregiver" put on my socks.
(Granted, this procedure USUALLY only happened SIX days-a-week.
So, if I were to "break down" my analysis MATHEMATICALLY--for MY comprehension, it'd look like this:
"MAXIMUM"
"Few" = 3
Days/Month = 31
Weeks/Month = ~4.328
# of days of "activity" PER MONTH = 31
# of occurrences of "activity" PER MONTH = 62
3 x 62 = 186 "specific events"
"MINIMUM"
"Few" = 3
Days/Month = 30
Weeks/Month = ~4.286
# of days of "activity" PER MONTH = (6 x ~4.286 = ~25.716 --> Round DOWN. --> 25
# of occurrences of "activity" PER MONTH = 25
3 x 25 = 75 "specific events"
Ergo, my TOTAL # of "trials" is "x", in which
75 < or equal to x < or equal to 186
My Mother Mumbles and Moans that Multi-tasking Mars the Manufacturing of Minor Miracles en Masse

"Alliteration aside."
