"The ones who are LOOKIN' for trouble are NOT that hard to deal with."
(--'Road House')
With my 21+ years of "martial arts"-training, I've learned that Karate is a type/form of SELF-defense.
Ergo, rather than ANTAGONIZING people, I'm QUITE comfortable--and CONFIDENT in my striking-abilities--waiting to be attacked.
THEN, I "attack the ATTACK"/COUNTER.

WHO are my "K Men"?!
…
(a la Professor Charles Xavier and his "X Men")
I ask, because I displayed some REMARKABLE--albeit probably purely COINCIDENTAL--"telekinetic powers"!
(Professor X can "talk to people"/"move things" WITH HIS MIND.)
1) One minute my LEFT shoulder was REALLY HURTING during the "incline-PRESS".
After "consulting with my brain--and WILL POWER", said shoulder STOPPED hurting.
2) I was lying down on the cushioned table/"raised mat" while working a SIMULTANEOUS arm- AND leg-lift machine. After NUMEROUS "leg-lockouts", I "TOLD" EACH/BOTH of my LEGS to REMAIN SLIGHTLY bent while STILL pushing FULL-strength.
3) When I was gettin ' in the car AFTER my GREAT workout at my gym, I noticed that my seatbelt-buckle was "HIDDEN" somewhere in the seat. So, I "WILLED it" to "SHOW ITSELF".
Sure enough, it "APPEARED". I buckled up to go.
P.S. I AM a bit of a "Professor", 'cuz of my tutoring-service.

"NeuroFit 360", I dig your STYLE!
…
Although my gym ("NeuroFit 360") typically/primarily focuses on (my) LOWER-body, I have exercised via "vertical-incline" during my last TWO visits (Friday and today).
The exercise has been GREAT for stretching and IMPROVING the STRENGTH/COORDINATION my injured LEFT shoulder!
...
(SEMI-warning) "'ALMOST' only matters with horseshoes and hand-grenades."
…
So, I completed my typical morning-routine:
-- Check my "whiteboard" for ANY/ALL appointments that day.
-- Nearly OVERFLOW my urinal with my MAELSTROM of urine.
-- Beat "Minesweeper" three times.
Only, I found it a bit ODD that my "time" in EACH of my THREE victories was
419 seconds.
So, I tried for a fourth.
… ALAS, I could ONLY win in
357 seconds.
I could NOT--AGAIN--duplicate the numerical-output.
But, my MENTAL-"strength" is IMPROVING!
This WHOLE "process" took AT LEAST
( 3 x 419 + 357 = 1257 + 357 =
1,614 seconds = 1614/60 =
26.9 minutes
NOW … I may BEGIN my day.

"'HIGH SCORE'?

So, I JUST concluded my wake-up routine of beginning my day with "a heavy dose" of the computer-MEMORY/LOGIC/REASONING game--"Minesweeper".
APPARENTLY, I'm IMPROVING!
(… MORE details in LATER posts)
I JUST "BEAT" the "Expert"-level (30 spaces by 16 spaces = 480 POSSIBLE errors) in
304 seconds = 5 minutes and four seconds = ~5.0667 minutes.
(… My PREVIOUS "Best time" was
332 seconds = 5 minutes and 32 seconds = ~5.5333 minutes.)

I'm thinkin about what I used to be
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
Ther's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong
Baby,baby we can she'd this skin
We can know how we feel inside
Instead of goin' down and endless road
Not knowin if we're dead or alive
Some things are worth fightin for
Some feelings never die
I'm not askin for another chance
I just wanna know why
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out givin in givin in can't be wrong no
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy no easy no easy way out
(repeat and fade)"
(… THIS SONG plays in 'Rocky IV' as "The Italian Stallion" trains to DEFEAT the LARGE Russian.)
((… Ergo, my LACK OF leg-strength is KINDA--METAPHORICALLY--a BIG, bulky, OLD-SCHOOL (communist) Russian that MUST BE "BEATEN"!))
(… My WEAK legs seem to be TAUNTING me by quoting Ivan Drago--the Russian foe:
"I must BREAK you.")
...
"We're not indestructible,
Baby better get that straight
I think it's unbelievable
How you give into the hands of fate
Some things are worth fighting for some
Feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance
I just wanna know why
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut
There's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong
I don't wanna pasify you
I don't wanna drag you down
But I'm feelin like a prisoner
Like a stranger in a no named town
I see all the angry faces
Afraid that could be you and me
Talkin about what might have been
I'm thinkin about what I used to be
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
Ther's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong
Baby,baby we can she'd this skin
We can know how we feel inside
Instead of goin' down and endless road
Not knowin if we're dead or alive
Some things are worth fightin for
Some feelings never die
I'm not askin for another chance

My WALKING reveals ONE of my ALIASES:
…
It--YET AGAIN--relates to cinematic-issues.
Since I TEND TO "carry a BIG step" with my RIGHT foot.
(PSYCHOLOGICALLY, I do NOT--YET--have enough confidence/trust in the strength of my--ENTIRE--LEFT side.)
Anyway, I 'Walk HARD'.
Ergo, ONE of my ALIASES is "'Dewey Cox'".

Although I've--TEMPORARILY--been DULLED,
…
I'm gonna heed the advice of Jack Black--referring to his work in the Neil Diamond-cover band, 'Diamonds in the Rough', in the GREAT movie, 'Saving Silverman':
"Shine BRIGHT--like a diamond."
In a SEPARATE FANTASTIC film,--'Aladdin', the main character (in this case--ME) is regarded as
"a 'DIAMOND' in the rough".

"The kids … they call me 'GLASS'."
…
Yet, as I--SLOWLY, yet STEADILY--"INCH closer" to recovery, I realize that--despite numerous medical "OPINIONS" (NOT "facts")--I am 'UNBREAKABLE'.
I DISagree with Mr. David Dunn (Bruce Willis), when he states (about ME):
"I'm just an ORDINARY man."
So, do I suffer from HUBRIS?
(… OR, is it just EXTREME CONFIDENCE?!)
(… I'm "leaning toward" choice B.)

..
INSTEAD of "twiddling my thumbs",
… I spend my SPARE TIME devising VARIOUS mathematical-ACTIVITIES.
For example:
(1 + 2)^3 x 4 divided by 5 + 6 - 7 = ?
(… THIS demonstrates the "Order of Operations":)
((… Please (Parentheses) Excuse (Exponents) My (Multiplication) Dear (Division) Aunt (Addition) Sally (Subtraction))
ANSWER:
1 + 2 = 3
3^3 = 27
27 x 4 = 108
108/5 = 21.6
21.6 + 6 = 27.6
27.6 - 7 = 20.6

"Do you know what they call a 'Quarter Pounder w/ cheese' in France?"
…
"RoyALE w/ cheese."
"You know WHY?!"
(Stammering:)
"The metric system?"
(… I LOVE "the metric system"!
It's ALL CONSISTENTLY based upon Latin roots.)
(… Granted I never TOOK "LATIN" in high school. I took SPANISH.)
(… I just know ALOTTA--almost TOO MUCH--math.)
(… MANY mathematical terms have "Latin"-roots.)

… In OTHER sports, your BODY is merely a "TOOL".
In WRESTLING, however, your BODY acts as a "WEAPON."
(I WRESTLED for my high school AND college.)
(… Can I get an "AMEN!"?)

Way to "RAIN on MY PARADE"!
…
After a GREAT/HELPFUL workout at "NueroFit 360", my driver--from a p/up-company--was
43 minutes LATE!
So, my emotional-state was "COMPLETELY OVERTURNED"!
AAARRRGGGHHH!
UUUGGGHHH!

Regarding my FREE/SPARE time:
… (When I'm NOT designing MATH problems, devising 'jiujitsu'-techniques or "surfing the 'Net)
"What am I gonna do with 40 SUBSCRIPTIONS to 'Vibe' (magazine)?!
(--'Office Space')
(… UNFORTUNATELY, I--CURRENTLY/TEMPORARILY--LACK the MANUAL dexterity to properly/CAREFULLY turn many pages.
: ( )

It's INEVITABLE.
…
Alas, "shit happens".
HOWEVER, we must NOT be AFRAID of
making MISTAKES.
(We ALL WILL make 'em.)
We should/MUST fear
NOT LEARNING FROM our errors/"MISSTEPS".
(… In MY case, pun IN-tended.)
(… THAT's why I look DOWN, when I walk--to monitor my stepping and hopefully DECREASE/MINIMIZE my stepping-errors.)

--'Fantastic Four':
… My BRAIN, My HEART, My 2 LEGS
…
"I would do ANYTHING to be INVISIBLE."
(--'The Thing' to 'the Invisible Girl')
(… Than again,)
…
"Being DIFFERENT isn't always BAD."
((BLIND woman (his EVENTUAL wife) to 'The Thing'))

In honor of TODAY:
…
"What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?"
(… That's how MY life SEEMS.)
"I am not making it up. I am asking you for help."
(--'Groundhog Day')
...
"FEAR and WONDER--a POWERFUL combination."
…
--Gracchus, 'Gladiator'
… I "FEAR" being FOREVER confined to a wheelchair--neither walking NOR (consistently, cogently) talking.
I "WONDER" what I'll do first, WHEN I WALK.
(… It's been FAR too long.)
(… Is "hopscotch" still REALLY COOL?
What about "New Kids on the Block"?!
Individually-packaged cheese slices?)
