…
I recently read a Yahoo-article about the (STUPID) government's ATTEMPTED tactic of DAMAGE-control of "Delete, ERASE".
Gov't-officials ATTEMPTED said PATHETIC , EMBARRASSING "COVER-UP tactic" on MY LIFE!
________________________________________________________________________________
… HOWEVER, I "countered" by SYMBOLICALLY humming the POPULAR song of the African-American Civil Rights Movement -- "'WE' Shall OVERCOME".
((… "WE" = ME, MYSELF & I = "The ROYAL 'we' … the EDITORIAL"(--The DUDE, 'The Big Lebowski'))
_______________________________________________________________________________
… As of RIGHT NOW, I've "SEMI-defeated" the SEMI-stupid, "power"-ABUSIVE, totalitarian INCOMPETENCE of the American government.
(… EVENTUALLY, I WILL mail a letter to the NATIONAL/FEDERAL government--via the Florida-offices--that ESSENTIALLY & SARCASTICALLY asks:
"How does it FEEL knowing y'ALL 'LOST' to a 'DEAD' guy?! (JAM foot up your COLLECTIVE-ass … & ROTATE.)"
(… OVERALL evaluation:
Naw, I'm not BITTER … regarding its/ their IGNORANCE , STUPIDITY, DIS-respect & LACK OF a "FOLLOWUP-procedure" for such instances/occurrences/happenings & a general DIS-regard for the --SUPPOSEDLY--"IN-alieanable RIGHTS" of the DISABLED/HANDICAPPED--yet VOTING--AMERICAN CITIZENS.
… JEEZ! The "feds" have gotten me SO "out-of-MY-element" that I--a LONGTIME, EXEMPLARY member of the "GRAMMAR-Police"--am using "RUN-ON sentences".)
_______________________________________________________________________________

Am I "ABOVE the LAW(S)"?
Heavens NO!

DAMNIT! (?!) HOW do I "PLAY" this "GAME"?!
… I shaN'T "PLAY DUMB"!
IF--& When--there's something I do NOT know, I'll quickly, truthfully, UN-ashamedly ADMIT it.
But, if you IGNORANTLY, FOOLISHLY, MISTAKENLY just ASS-ume I do NOT KNOW, then you're JUST "settin' YOURSELF-up for FAILURE"!
_______________________________________________________________________________
… Since my SPEAKING is STILL--TEMPORARILY--NOT quite COGENT/UNDERSTANDABLE, I LISTEN
more INTENTLY & BETTER.
But, PLEASE do NOT … THINK you KNOW what I'm GONNA say!
(… In ALL LIKELIHOOD, … you're VERY WRONG!)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
MY mind is just THAT/VERY RANDOM, COMPLICATED, OBSERVANT & BRILLIANT.
(… 'Tis NOT "bragging/boasting, when … it's TRUE!)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
My mom refers to my--very ACUTE & SENSITIVE--ears as possessing
"SUPERSONIC hearing!
_______________________________________________________________________________
… My mom JUST threw-away her TISSUE after blowing her nose.
(… Yeah, she lives ~15 minutes--DRIVING--away from ME. But, that's just a "TESTAMENT of SUPPORT" to/for how RIDICULOUSLY-GOOD my EARS are!)
_______________________________________________________________________________
…
"I, MYSELF, SHOULD be DEAD already.
But, I am STILL here."
(--Albert Einstein)
(ATTENTION, DUMB-assed U,S, government:

_______________________________________________________________________________
…
I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE my 'Karateka' to … ASK QUESTIONS!
(… NO, being INQUISITIVE does/will NOT make you APPEAR/SEEM STUPID or UN-knowledgable. On the CONTRARY, you're INQUISITIVE & knowledge-SEEKING.)
______________________________________________________________________________
…
NON-metaphorically-speaking, I ALWAYS enjoy ANY kind of GAME!
(… For example, I used to NOT LIKE hockey--'cuz I can-NOT skate/ice-akate. But, due to my IN-ability to RUN/JUMP/WRESTLE & my sports-OBSESSION, I've become DESPERATE to "follow" ANYTHING!
______________________________________________________________________________
…
My CURRENT "Housemate" & I have been "PLAYING" this ONGOING "GAME" of MY "SMELL test-TRIALs" for the last couple weeks:
My friend cooks his DINNER.
I CLOSE my eyes.
He holds his plate of UN-identified food under my nose.
He WAFTS the scentS up to SAID "nose".
THEN, I--VERBALLY--WITH eyes STILL SHUT--name the "SOURCE of the aromaS".
Thus far, I am 3.5 CORRECT guesses out of 7 TOTAL-trials.
(… I had 2 COMPLETELY-RIGHT guesses, 3 HALF-RIGHT answers & 2 IN-correct responses.
3.5 / 7 = 50%)

Okay. ENOUGH with the (GREAT) cinematic-references!
Let's actually discuss MY day:

-- I played ALOTTA "Minesweeper". (I forgot to tally my STATS. But, I DID rather WELL.)
-- After my "SECOND-breakfast" (at ~9:45 am), I "WALKED" to brush my teeth.
-- … ~Midway through my "MORNING-trek", I "felt 'that URGE/RUMBLE in my stomach". So, I CONTINUED my "AMBLING" 'a mi "JUAN"'.
-- (WARNING:) THANKFULLY/WONDERFULLY, I "dropped a medium-sized, quite-SOLID DEUCE". (… YAY for NON-medicinally "stimulated" "BOWEL-movements/-activities"!)
-- After brushing my teeth & ANOTHER "SOLID" "WALK" to my MOTORIZED-wheelchair in my living room, I rested at my "desk" @ ~11:30 am to watch 'Stripes'.
-- At ~1:00 pm (He was SUPPOSED TO arrive at NOON.), my SUNDAY-"caregiver" came for FURTHER "training". "LONG-story-SHORT"--he did a MUCH-BETTER job … THIS time around.
-- I "performed" VERY WELL in my "SPEECH-Therapy"!
((… I ate--by MOUTH--EVERY crumb of my ONE scrambled egg. (… WELL-COOKED by the NEW guy!) My E-NUN-CIA-TION is CONTINUING to IMPROVE!
-- I had ANOTHER … VERY PRODUCTIVE & ENCOURAGING workout at "NeuroFit 360"!
((… Today I "worked" with the OWNER on my abs & trunk-control for ~3000 seconds (~50 minutes) (~5/6 hours).))
-- … After my shower, as I laid in BED, I contemplated … & APPROVED OF an ALTERATION in my "BLOGGING-FORMAT".
(… To be INTRODUCED/USED … soon)
-- After my FIFTH "WALK"--to my toilet--of the day, I concluded, I GUESS, that MY medical-"NOT SO' know-it-all"s maybe DID understand SOMETHING, when they PRESCRIBED MANY "nutrients" that "PROMOTE" "urinary-activity". THUS, I MUST "AMBULATE" NUMEROUS times … to "RELIEVE-myself".

So, THANKFULLY, my b-ball team (my mom's college) (University of Wisconsin BADGERS) "squeezed-out a W" over a historically-/traditionally-EXCEPTIONAL basketball-school (University of North Carolina).

I AM part of THE … 'Men of HONOR'!
…
My LEG-gym OWNER--to ME--about my WALKING:
"WHY do you WANT this so BAD?!"
MY response: "'Cuz they (my DOUBTERS, HATERS, … DOCTORS) said I couldN'T have it.
… I wanna be the BEST."
NeuroFit 360 - OWNER: (SIGH) "Well, you ARE."
((--Carl Brashear (ME), 'Men of Honor')
____________________________________________________________________________

ME: "I DESERVE to PASS (this WALKING-test)."
My mother--to ME: "Since WHEN does … 'DESERVING' ... mean a GOD-DAMN thing?!"
(-- … STILL 'Men of Honor')
____________________________________________________________________________
…
During "SPEECH Therapy" today, my "Therapist" & I played our USUAL … COMPETITIVE, HIGH-QUALITY game of "Scrabble".
I've CONSISTENTLY/REPEATEDLY demonstrated my "MENTAL-MATH MASTERY", so she trusts me to keep score--with-OUT any questions or doubt.
"Alliteration aside."(--Peter LaFluer, 'Dodgeball')
She HAD TO depart, BEFORE I completed my LAST turn. So, upon her DEPARTURE, I TRAILED by four points.
Thus, by the "SMILING-GRACE of KARMA" upon MY placing the FINAL-WORD upon the board, I turned a FOUR-point DEFICIT into a THREE-point WIN.
(… YAY, BRAIN!)
(… WHOA! I shaN'T PRAISE/THANK 'mi CABEZA' very OFTEN.)
____________________________________________________________________________

I did some PHENOMENAL "STANDING" & WEIGHT-SHIFTING @ "NeuroFit 360" today.

I am a … NEW & DIFFERENT kind/type of "ARTIST".
…
"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."
(--Michelangelo)
I can MOVE--my body--now that I'm NO LONGER in a coma.
(… I was in TWO … SEPARATE/DIFFERENT … "COMA"S.)
I've "unleashed the 'BEAST"!
_______________________________________________________________
…
I've NEVER been very (TEXTBOOK-) "ARTISTIC".
I'm MORE BUSINESS-/NUMBERS-oriented … as evidenced by my STARTED "Master's degree" in "BUSINESS-Entrepreneurship", when my TRAGIC/UNFORTUNATE/CATASTROPHIC car-accident occurred.
______________________________________________________________________________
…
'Por ejemplo', I started a (my FIRST) BUSINESS at the "tender", YOUNG age of ~SIX years old.
My GOOD-buddy ((MY blog-"Architect"(--'The Matrix Reloaded')) would DRAW random pictures of DINOSAURS, & I'd SELL 'em to fellow-KIDS around my ELEMENTARY school for various CHANGE.
((… Was THIS "foreshadowing"--even THEN--to my MUCH LATER (~15 YEARS) POST-collegiate ACADEMIC-concentration?!))
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
FURTHERMORE, my--CURRENT--"ART" is--among OTHER things, "MATH-tutoring".
(… It's goin' VERY WELL!)
ALSO, I--occasionally--TEACH "art"--on the ground--to … KIDS: 'Jiujitsu' ('GROUND-fighting').
______________________________________________________________________________
…
Even though I am VERY VISUAL, I just PREFER watching movies, visualizing "self defense"-techniques & "seeing" (MATHEMATICAL) problem-SOLUTIONS.
I guess that PAINTING/DRAWING is just NOT my "cup o' TEA".
So, BOTTOM-LINE: I'd RATHER see & experience cinematic-, "martial-" & numerical- "ART" OVER "MANUAL", "picturesque" art.

Ex-CUSE ME!
NO day can/will EVER be "PERFECT".
Thus, allow me to REPHRASE:
"LATELY, almost-ALL of my days have been SUB-par/'LESS THAN ideal'."

…
With the COMPLEXITY & DIFFICULTY of my DAILY-tasks, I "TREASURE"/APPRECIATE/NEED … consistency!
(… My PHYSICAL-ailmentS add EXTRA-time to--just about--EVERYTHING I do!)

"Sunday" is SUPPOSED TO be my ONE "OFF-day"
I SHOULD get some/ALOTTA "R & R" ("Rest & Relaxation") on "FOOTBALL-Day"/"God's 'Day of Rest".
((… RELAX! I am NOT IMPLYING blasphemy!

I USED TO really ENJOY my SUNDAYS!
But NOW, I HAFTA "allocate"/"designate" TOO MUCH of my (AWAKE-) time to "meditating" & TRYING to NOT scream in EXTREME-FRUSTRATION … over my SUNDAY-caregiver's LACK OF English-understanding.
UUUGGGHHH! AAARRRGGGHHH!
(("EXTREME FRUSTRATION" "to the Nth degree") x PI (~3.14159265358970328 …))

…
ACTUALLY, I'm rather disappointed … in MYSELF … that--AT THE TIME (earlier TODAY)--I could NOT think of a synonym for "ELSE", when I was--FRUSTRATINGLY/ANGRILY--explaining my "WALKING".
My caregiver did NOT understand the word, "ELSE".
(VERY AUDIBLE SIGH & STOMP my foot)
_____________________________________________________________________________

Granted I was being SARCASTIC! But, STILL, let's (I'll) COGITATE about some.

WARNING! ATTENTION!
THIS JUST IN! THIS JUST IN!
Some 'MUY IMPORTANTE' NEWS regarding SAID caregiver has JUST "come to light" today!
He informed me that--in order to get MORE rest--he's gonna quit … in order to "get MORE sleep for (his) OTHER job".
(… I INQUIRED, & he ASSURED me that 'twas NOT ME. He JUST is/was TOO TIRED from having TWO jobs.)

FINALLY, I'll CONCLUDE the day with a "report" on my FUN:
-- My sister & her boyfriend, my mom & three of HER friends, my CURRENT housemate & I gathered for a VERY PLEASANT dinner-"party".
-- I ate--via MOUTH--my mom's FAMOUS "hamloaf" & broiled-potatoes.
(… 'Twas 'WUNDERBA'!)
-- UN-fortunately, I LOST a game of "'beirut'"/"beer pong".
( : ( )
-- I sighed, RE-calculated the "ANGLES" & … WON the next game!

FINALLY, I'll CONCLUDE the day with a "report" on my FUN:
-- My sister & her boyfriend, my mom & three of HER friends, my CURRENT housemate & I gathered for a VERY PLEASANT dinner-"party".
-- I ate--via MOUTH--my mom's FAMOUS "hamloaf" & broiled-potatoes.
(… 'Twas 'WUNDERBA'!)
-- UN-fortunately, I LOST a game of "'beirut'"/"beer pong".
( : ( )
-- I sighed, RE-calculated the "ANGLES" & … WON the next game!
(… I went 1-1. How's THAT for IM-"perfection"?!)

"There are NO 'coincidences' in life … only the ILLUSION of 'coincidence'."
…
(--Masked-man, 'V for Vendetta'
Personally, I do NOT believe in "coincidence". I FEEL/BELIEVE that EVERYTHING has an EXPLANATION.
______________________________________________________________________________
…
Thus--Ergo--Therefor, there MUST'VE been SOME KIND of REASONING/LOGIC as to WHY my "TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO-good, VERY BAD day" of automobile-caused injurIES!
(… But, … WHY?!)
(… What did I DO/"NOT do" to/with KARMA?!)
______________________________________________________________________________
…
The ADULTS' class view & practice my NEWEST 'jiujitsu'-technique … that I'd INTRODUCED/SHOWN the KIDS' class this past Thursday.
ADDITIONALLY, I'd designed TWO variations--with my "Professor"'s HELP/INSIGHT.
(… ONE of MY past 'Sensei's EVEN COMPLIMENTED the techniqueS for their GREAT style, "flow" & intuition.)
It's a TREMENDOUS feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT & "KICK-ASSERY". when a student--let alone an ESTEEMED "teacher"--expresses his/her GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION of/for MY "work"!
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
Did I mention that MOST of the 'karateka' ('karate-students'0 (7/12 = 59.5%) were BLACK-BELTS who were/are OLDER than I?!
(… "Rah-SPEKT!"
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
I stayed-UP--in my wheelchair, in my living room--from ~4 pm 'til ~10:30 pm (UN-characteristic)--'cuz my buddy & I played cards and watched movies.
(… ENTERTAINING my GUESTS/FRIENDS/VISITORS … MOTIVATES/"PUSHES" me to "DO things I doN'T usually DO.)
____________________________________________________________________________
…
This MORNING/"EARLY afternoon" I decided to "STAND UP" & "WALK"--with my walker--for the Adults' class at my dojo.
The 'karateka' ALL "gave me a LONG 'standing ovation'" after my ASTOUNDING ~56-foot "WALK" across my dojo.
____________________________________________________________________________
(… Am I ADMITTING to being a "SHOW-OFF"?!
(… I'll leave THAT "JUDGMENT" up to y'ALL.)

I DO what I MUST … to "BETTER MYSELF"!
…
http://boldanddetermined.com/2014/06/24/drilling-and-killing/
(… "Copy & Paste" the link.)
In my "'martial arts'-PRIME'", I trained AND/OR taught FIVE days/nights a week, EACH for 1.5 to 2 HOURS.
(… That's
7.5 to 10 hours per WEEK
= ~390 to ~520 hours per YEAR (… considering ~52 WEEKS in a YEAR
____________________________________________________
… In ADDITION to "bettering"/improving MYSELF, I've GOTTA "spread the (METAPHORIC) 'WEALTH'".
So, I TUTOR ('por GRATIS').
I TEACH martial arts ('por GRATIS').
(… 'Por gratis' = Spanish for 'for free')
____________________________________________________
…
Speaking of "MARTIAL ARTS", today I reviewed my NEW 'jiujitsu'-technique with my two assistants.
ALSO, my Professor helped me develop THREE ADDITIONAL variations.
(… GOTTA have 'em!)

DoN'T just "FOLLOW 'the path'." Make "YOUR OWN".

_____________________________________________________________________________

"HINDSIGHT's 20 20", right?
So, I REALLY/TRULY/WHOLEHEARTEDLY "KICK myself" for TRUSTING that STUPID, NEGLECTFUL auto-bodyshop for its LACKLUSTER, SUB-par (NOT-)"repair" of my car-tire.
_____________________________________________________________________________

ALAS!
"We regret MORE the things we doN'T do than the stuff we DO."

NOW, I KNOW to ALWAYS "QUESTION … & RE-calculate" MY & OTHERS' answers/reactions,
BEFORE I act -upon said responses.
Y'all MAY interpret MY "judgments" as evidence of an UN-fair LACK OF trust.
I DIS-agree.
I INTEND 'em as MERELY "offers of HELP"/EXAMPLES/RECOMMENDATIONS to RE-"calculate" your "WORK".
But, you're ENTITLED to INTERPRET MY actions as y'ALL "see FIT".
I'm JUST sayin':
Should YOUR understanding be ANYTHING … involving my NEGATIVE-intentions, then I'll POLITELY DIS-agree, "LAUGH it OFF", CONTINUE my NON-harmful RECOVERY & THINK: "To HELL with YOU!"

(… 4/5 = 80%)

My THOUGHTS/IDEAS are very RANDOM & "BROAD-SCOPED" … though OPTIMISTIC:
…
"Do you think the 'Elastic Woman' of 'The Incredibles' needs birth-control?
Or, can she just BE a diaphragm?!"
(--Raj, 'The Big Bang Theory')
_____________________________________________________________________________
Please TRY to "FOLLOW" my RANDOM "train-of-thoughtS":
"… Now I'm thinkin' about 'TRAINS'."(--Sheldon, 'The Big Bang Theory')
…
_____________________________________________________________________________
UUUGGGHHH!
I ABHOR waking-UP at 2:47 am, REQUESTING my urinal, "COMPLETING said 'URINARY-deposit'" then being UN-able to "continue my 'REM-cycle'"!
((… Oh, "WOE unto ME!"(--Bible, Job 10:15))
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
HHHMMM, WHAT to DO at such a "SICKENING" hour?!
-- I WON 5 out of 12 games of "EXPERT"-level "Minesweeper".
(… 5/12 = ~41.67%)
(… 16 "spaces" by 30 "spaces" = 480 POSSIBLE SQUARE-"choices")
-- Review ALL of yesterday's SPORTS-outcomes.
(… Regarding AMERICAN-athletics, my FAVORITE--PLAYING--teams went 2-0.
Since I'm HALF-Turkish, my FAVORITE TURKISH soccer team tied. So, that's 0-0-1.
… THAT's a 66.67% WINNING-percentage … AND/OR a 100.00% NON-LOSING percentage.)
--Check my "Checking-", "Savings-" & "Trust-"accounts to MONITOR/OVERSEE just "HOW my $ is doin'".
(… REMEMBER: "Make your money 'work' … for YOU.")
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
"If I were a 'SUPERHERO', & my SUPER-power were … ARROGANCE, my name would be
'CAPTAIN ARRO-GHANTO'."
(--Sheldon, 'The Big Bang Theory')
_____________________________________________________________________________
(ALL excerpts are from 'DEEP Thoughts' by Jack Handey, on OLD-SCHOOL 'Saturday Night Live':)
(… I NEED … HUMOR! Ha ha HA!)
"The FIRST thing"--AFTER my accident--"was …
I learned to FORGIVE myself. THEN, I told myself.
'(SIGH) Go ahead, & do whatever you WANT. It's OK by me.'"
"OFTEN--when I am reading a good-book, I'll STOP & THANK my teacher. That is--I USED TO--until she got an UNLISTED #."
"If you REALLY want to impress people with your computer-LITERACY. add the words, 'DOT COM' to the end of everything you say … DOT COM."
"I hope that SOMEDAY we will be able to put-away/-aside our FEARS & PREJUDICES, and just LAUGH at people."
"IF & WHEN you get invited to your FIRST orgy, doN'T just show up NUDE.
That's a COMMON mistake.
… You have to let NUDITY just … 'HAPPEN'."
"Maybe in order to understand 'MANKIND', we have to look at the word itself.
'MANKIND'. Basically, it's made-up of TWO SEPARATE words--'MANK' & 'IND'.
WHAT do those words MEAN?!
… It's a MYSTERY, and THAT's why so is mankind."
"As you make your way through this HECTIC world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day.
At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of days saved up."
((… ACTUALLY, 365 days/years multiplied by "3" (a "FEW") hours = 1,095 hours/year
= 1,095/24 = ~4.5475 days … = MORE than JUST "a couple … of DAYS", 'cuz "a "COUPLE" = 2)
____________________________________________________________________________
P.S. SUNDAY is USUALLY my "day of 'R & R' ('Rest & Relaxation')", since it's the ONE day--of SEVEN--that I doN'T like to SCHEDULE/PLAN … ANY "work".
I like to just watch SPORTS and/or MOVIES … or "shoot the (PROVERBIAL) 'SHIT'" w/ friends.
P.P.S. MY day--OVERALL--was 'asi asi'. (SIGH) There were MANY "UPs & DOWNs".
I doN'T know WHY my mom hired a CARE-giver--withOUT MY permission/approval--who BARELY understands SOME--not ALL--English!
How FRUSTRATING!

"The FIRST thing"--AFTER my accident--"was …
I learned to FORGIVE myself. THEN, I told myself.
'(SIGH) Go ahead, & do whatever you WANT. It's OK by me.'"
"OFTEN--when I am reading a good-book, I'll STOP & THANK my teacher. That is--I USED TO--until she got an UNLISTED #."
"If you REALLY want to impress people with your computer-LITERACY. add the words, 'DOT COM' to the end of everything you say … DOT COM."
"I hope that SOMEDAY we will be able to put-away/-aside our FEARS & PREJUDICES, and just LAUGH at people."
"IF & WHEN you get invited to your FIRST orgy, doN'T just show up NUDE.
That's a COMMON mistake.
… You have to let NUDITY just … 'HAPPEN'."
"Maybe in order to understand 'MANKIND', we have to look at the word itself.
'MANKIND'. Basically, it's made-up of TWO SEPARATE words--'MANK' & 'IND'.
WHAT do those words MEAN?!
… It's a MYSTERY, and THAT's why so is mankind."
"As you make your way through this HECTIC world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day.
At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of days saved up."
((… ACTUALLY, 365 days/years multiplied by "3" (a "FEW") hours = 1,095 hours/year
= 1,095/24 = ~4.5475 days … = MORE than JUST "a couple … of DAYS", 'cuz "a "COUPLE" = 2)
____________________________________________________________________________
P.S. SUNDAY is USUALLY my "day of 'R & R' ('Rest & Relaxation')", since it's the ONE day--of SEVEN--that I doN'T like to SCHEDULE/PLAN … ANY "work".
I like to just watch SPORTS and/or MOVIES … or "shoot the (PROVERBIAL) 'SHIT'" w/ friends.
P.P.S. MY day--OVERALL--was 'asi asi'. (SIGH) There were MANY "UPs & DOWNs".
I doN'T know WHY my mom hired a CARE-giver--withOUT MY permission/approval--who BARELY understands SOME--not ALL--English!
How FRUSTRATING!

In HONOR of TODAY's DATE:
..
As TODAY is March 14th, the "CALENDAR-date" is
3/14--making it a NATIONAL MATHEMATICAL-HOLIDAY!
(… "Pi" = 3.1415926535897238 …
(… That's the EXTENT of the digit-sequence … I've MEMORIZED.)
(… Excuse me. I've gotta "CLEAR my throat".
NERD!)
___________________________________________________
…
"Pi" is VERY MUCH involved with "CIRCULAR-studies":
AREA (of a CIRCLE) = (Pi) (Radius)^2
(Example: R = 5, Pi = ~3.14
ANSWER --> R = 5^2 x 3.14 = 25Pi = ~75 + ~3.5 = ~78.5
(… ACTUALLY, it's ~78.5398 …)
… CIRCUMFERENCE (of "Example") = 2 (Pi) (Radius)
ANSWER --> 10Pi = ~31.4
(… ACTUALLY, it's ~31.4159 …)
(… "It' SCIENCE."--Ron Burgundy, 'Anchorman')
___________________________________________________
…
So, to HONOR today's "HOLIDAY", I oversaw MY PRAISED/POPULAR 'Jiujitsu'-technique as one of my 'Sem-PAI' DEMONSTRATED it for/to the highER-ranking KIDS.
(… Said "technique" involves a shoulder-ROLL. So, it's SEMI-circular.)

… ANOTHER film that would be APPROPRIATE 'para mi':
…
'The Man with Two Brains'.
1) The movie stars COMEDIAN Steve Martin. (… I--TOO--am FUNNY … to a MUCH-lessER extent.)
2) Based on the DIFFERENCE between what I SAY & what I CAN DO makes it SEEM as if I'm ACTING-OUT the title.
_____________________________________________________________________________
HHHMMM, why would/COULD I--POSSIBLY--be in such a GOOD mood, AFTER I awoke at ~4:42 am to "TINKLE"/URINATE, … then I couldN'T "fall BACK asleep"?!
(… AGAIN: IS it a "PSYCHOLOGICAL-issue"?)
(… I'll HAFTA ask my neural-psychologist.)
… 'Cuz my INGENIOUS WRESTLING-/'Jiujitsu'-technique yesterday was so GREATLY/WIDELY ACCEPTED & COMMENDED!
(… My "Martial Arts"-Professor EVEN said it was "one of the BEST applications (he'd) EVER seen"!)
(… Considering his HIGH rank … & many, MANY YEARS of "martial arts"-EXPERIENCE, that's QUITE the COMPLIMENT!)
((… So, 'KUDOS' to my 'Sempai' (pronounced in Japanese as 'sehm-PIY') (… 'ASSISTANT-"martial arts"-instructor') & HIS helper (a VERY respected & skilled BROWN belt) for DEMONSTRATING said technique & making it look VERY FLUID, COORDINATED & "PRETTY"!))
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
So, WHY & HOW do I (METAPHORICALLY/FIGURATIVELY) have "TWO brains"?
(… GOOD question!)
ANSWER: Well, occasionally (though, THANKFULLY, NOT as OFTEN as in the PAST), I will UNDERSTAND & "ATTEMPT to DO" the TASK "at hand". But, SADLY/UNFORTUNATELY, the "messages" FROM my BRAIN … TO my MUSCLES & NERVES will "get LOST" or "HORRIBLY-'jumbled'".
(… NONETHELESS, my "PEAKING" PRIDE & DETERMINATION/RESILIENCE do NOT understand the concept of "FAILURE"!
(… "Failure"--is THAT … FOREIGN? I doN'T get it. ?!)
(… Actually, YES! 'Tis from the Anglo-French word 'failer'. How APPROPRIATE is that "language of origin"?!)
___________________________________________________________________________
…
PRE-accident I would/COULD separate/designate my (MANY) different outlooks/perspectives/"WAYS of THINKING" according to the given situation/scenario.
NOW, it's kinda ALL "gelled"/meshed/melded into ONE.
Since I--UNFORTUNATELY--LACK much EMPATHY, I kinda HAVE TO "operate" with CONSTANT-LOGIC & -DEDUCTION.
In other words, I ALWAYS use "MATHEMATICS":
I--QUICKLY/MENTALLY--"weigh the PROs v. the CONs", & "gather STATISTICS" to influence/MAKE my ULTIMATE-decision.
____________________________________________________________________________
Upon awaking this morning, I realized I felt a TAD "under the weather". So, I told my nurse:

___________________________________________________________________________
…
So, I was having a FRUSTRATING few minutes LATE this morning, when I started watching the 1998 INTELLECTUAL-thriller movie 'Pi'.
(… The film kinda "put things in PERSPECTIVE":
I thought I was a MATH-prodigy. But, this guy's OBSESSED! … To the point that he brings HARM & other PROBLEMS upon … HIMSELF!)
___________________________________________________________________________
...
Continuing with my "releasing my ANGER/FRUSTRATION", TODAY I concluded my GREAT LEG-workout @ "NeuroFit 360" in a "LESS-than IDEAL" manner.
( : ( )
After some GREAT "WALKING"--w/ the OWNER's ARM as my "SUPPORT", I grew VERY TIRED & "threw a MINOR 'hissy-fit'" as I--FINALLY--sat in my wheelchair.
(… ALSO, the nerves/muscles in my LEFT leg were simply/dangerously "IGNORING" the "MOVEMENT-messages" from my BRAIN.)
(… AUDIBLE sigh)
__________________________________________________________________________

So, YESTERDAY my "martial arts"-Professor PRAISED my "BRILLIANT" wrestling/'jiujitsu'-technique.
THIS "ACCLAIM" exemplifies my KEEN "EYE for 'martial arts'/self-defense"!

NUMBERS … about ME:
…
If I LACKED both EX-ternal genitalia AND an Adam's apple, I'd abide by the GENDER-specific stereotype & consider these
"my NUMBERS"/"MEASUREMENTS".
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
Height: ~5' 7" = ~67 inches = ~170.18 centimeters
(… 'cuz 1 inch = ~2.54 centimeters)
Weight: (as of YESTERDAY) ~137 pounds = ~62.35 kilograms
"Body-Mass Index"= 21.5 ("NORMAL"/HEALTHY/ATHLETIC)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
HOWEVER, BOTH my doctor ((… NO quotation marks (" ") NECESSARY, 'cuz I actually RESPECT his thoughts.)) AND MAIN-nurse feel that my "IDEAL weight SHOULD BE around 143 pounds".
((… Well, THAT would be just FINE, … if I could "snap-OUT" of my LONGTIME (8+ YEARS) "WRESTLING-mentality" of "weight-GAIN = BAD".))
((… Also, according to "BMI", a weight of 143 pounds (65 kilograms) is actually healthiER (MORE in the MIDDLE of the "'NORMAL'-range").))
_____________________________________________________________________________
#1: I demonstrated EXEMPLARY "BACK & NECK"-posture--YET AGAIN--as I "WALKED"--BACK & FORTH--between my bed & my toilet (~67 steps)) FOUR DIFFERENT/SEPARATE times today for various "URINARY-'deposits'".
(… I "went '#1'".)
#2: I "went '#2'".
(… Ha ha HA!)
#3: During my LAST "UPPER body"-workout (TUESDAY), I STRETCHED my LEFT (INJURED) arm/shoulder UP--WITH only limited/minor/minimal GUIDANCE--to ~170 degrees, using my STRAIGHT-body as the (VERTICAL) Y-axis/-plane.
#4 As a result pf my SEVERE hip-pain, my main-nurse decided I should "SHY-AWAY" from doing my DAILY "60 to 70" SQUATS. (… It turns out … that my UNBEARABLE hip-initiating SORROW was JUST a SORE groin and NOT a "pulled muscle". … Yeah, I--a "Bio-MEDICAL Engineer" & a LONGTIME "martial arts"-practitioner--figured that out … MYSELF!)
______________________________________________________________________________
Let's analyze MY birthday:
April 8th, 1985.
((… It's the 4th month of an "ODD" (PUN IN-tended. So, YES, I'm "STRANGE".) year.))
(4/8/1985)
((… 4 + 8 + 1 + (9 - 8) + 5 = 19))
((… 19 - 8 - 5 = the EVEN # between 4 & 8 (MULTIPLIED by 1))
(… So, I was BORN for MATH.)
(… THIS was MY interpretation of "NATURAL-SELECTION".)
______________________________________________________________________________
...
In CONCLUSION, why isN'T the United States using the "METRIC SYSTEM"?!
…
Well, we--Americans--STARTED to accept/"CONVERT to" the HERALDED/"GENIUS" (Latin-based) metric system. But, the ACCEPTANCE-process "fell APART" during the Presidency of Gerald Ford. (OR, was it Jimmy Carter?!)

''It's a Great Day for UP!''--Dr. Seuss
…
Yes, it IS a FICTIONAL METAPHORICAL "turn-of-phrase" by the LEGENDARY … CHILDREN'S book-AUTHOR/-ILLUSTRATOR/-"LEGEND".
But, the TITLE is ESPECIALLY/APPROPRIATELY "UP"-lifting to ME, given my CURRENT/TEMPORARY "situation"!
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
So, I AWOKE rather EARLY--as has, UNFORTUNATELY, become rather CUSTOMARY--at ~6:03 am.
(… My caregivers TEND TO "make ALOTTA noise"/"be LOUD", when they "switch-SHIFTS" at ~6:00 am. As I'm A BIT of a "LIGHT-sleeper", their "SHENANIGANS" … "DISTURB my SLUMBER".)
Upon my (UN-welcome) WAKE-UP, I decided to "WALK" to BEGIN my day.
(… Is it a "PSYCHOLOGICAL-/MENTAL-issue" that--despite NUMEROUS/COUNTLESS attempts/TRIES--I just caN'T seem to fall BACK asleep … once I'm AWAKE?!)
(… MY diagnosis: I THINK … TOO MUCH/OFTEN.
MAYBE I could TRY TO focus my THOUGHTS/DREAMS/ATTENTION on GOOD-images.
It's the BAD-"pictures" that cause me to WORRY & NOT relax.)
___________________________________________________________________________
…
So, even at such an "UNGODLY-EARLY hour", I "TREKKED" to my "porcelain-THRONE" to urinate.
DESPITE "March 11th" being ONLY ~368 minutes old, I "TRUDGED" to give my toilet a "PEE-soaked"-"AWAKENING"/"HOW-do-'ya-DO".
(… It was a GREAT "WALK"--UP-and-BACK!)
(… I even "brushed the dirt OFF my shoulder", RIGHT-BEFORE I got back in bed.)
___________________________________________________________________________
…
I'd so, so, SSSOOOOOOO eat 'Green Eggs & Ham'!
(… Yes, I canNOT--YET--taste.)
((… But, last time I checked, (green) food-coloring does NOT affect TASTE.))
(… In a SEMI-related story, I ate--via MOUTH--one scrambled egg during "SPEECH-therapy".
I LOVE to EAT--via MY MOUTH!
I am NOT--by ANY MEANS--"HIDEOUSLY-OBESE" (… My most RECENT ex-girlfriend--about ME: "JUST 'hideous'! Ha ha HA!")
___________________________________________________________________________
Tonight I BEGAN my "official SMELL-trial".
When my buddy/HOUSE-mate got home from work, he cooked himself some dinner. I--VERBALLY--told him: "From NOW-ON, I'd APPRECIATE it, if you'd WAFT the SMELLS from your meal under & toward my nose. Thanks A LOT!"
Well, TONIGHT I SEMI-smelled some rice-pilaf.
YAY!
In HINDSIGHT though, I SHOULD/MUST shut/close my EYES. (… I KNOW the psychological-INFLUENCE of VISION in/over SCENT & TASTE.)
____________________________________________________________________________
Well, (SIGH) my WEIGHT WAS SLOWLY, MARGINALLY IN-creasing.
(… I am SEMI-ambivalent, 'cuz I STILL think like a WRESTLER, in which weight-GAIN is "frowned-upon".)
However, due to my (SOMEWHAT-)recent IN-crease in/of my WEEKLY leg-gym time @ "NeuroFit 360", I guess my METABOLISM is IN-creasing. TODAY, the Publix-scale revealed that I'm DOWN ~4 POUNDS or so.
Therefore, I HAFTA ADD another "MEAL"--via "peg-tube"--to my DAILY-"consumption".
...
Yes, it IS a FICTIONAL METAPHORICAL "turn-of-phrase" by the LEGENDARY … CHILDREN'S book-AUTHOR/-ILLUSTRATOR/-"LEGEND".
But, the TITLE is ESPECIALLY/APPROPRIATELY "UP"-lifting to ME, given my CURRENT/TEMPORARY "situation"!

(… I even "brushed the dirt OFF my shoulder", RIGHT-BEFORE I got back in bed.)
___________________________________________________________________________
…
I'd so, so, SSSOOOOOOO eat 'Green Eggs & Ham'!
(… Yes, I canNOT--YET--taste.)
((… But, last time I checked, (green) food-coloring does NOT affect TASTE.))
(… In a SEMI-related story, I ate--via MOUTH--one scrambled egg during "SPEECH-therapy".
I LOVE to EAT--via MY MOUTH!
I am NOT--by ANY MEANS--"HIDEOUSLY-OBESE" (… My most RECENT ex-girlfriend--about ME: "JUST 'hideous'! Ha ha HA!")
___________________________________________________________________________
Tonight I BEGAN my "official SMELL-trial".
When my buddy/HOUSE-mate got home from work, he cooked himself some dinner. I--VERBALLY--told him: "From NOW-ON, I'd APPRECIATE it, if you'd WAFT the SMELLS from your meal under & toward my nose. Thanks A LOT!"
Well, TONIGHT I SEMI-smelled some rice-pilaf.
YAY!
In HINDSIGHT though, I SHOULD/MUST shut/close my EYES. (… I KNOW the psychological-INFLUENCE of VISION in/over SCENT & TASTE.)
____________________________________________________________________________
Well, (SIGH) my WEIGHT WAS SLOWLY, MARGINALLY IN-creasing.
(… I am SEMI-ambivalent, 'cuz I STILL think like a WRESTLER, in which weight-GAIN is "frowned-upon".)
However, due to my (SOMEWHAT-)recent IN-crease in/of my WEEKLY leg-gym time @ "NeuroFit 360", I guess my METABOLISM is IN-creasing. TODAY, the Publix-scale revealed that I'm DOWN ~4 POUNDS or so.
Therefore, I HAFTA ADD another "MEAL"--via "peg-tube"--to my DAILY-"consumption".

"i.e."
&
"e.g."
_______________________________________________________________________________
…
I.E. (Id Est)
Sample sentence
I'm going to the place where I work best, i.e., the coffee shop.
Explanation
[There is only one place that I am claiming is best for my work. By using "i.e.", I am telling you I am about to specify it.]
E.G. (Exempli Gratia)
Sample sentence
At the places where I work well, e.g., Starbucks, I have none of the distractions I have at home.
Explanation
[There are lots of coffee shops I like, but Starbucks is the only international one, so it's the only "example" that would work.]
1) Enter Name and State. 2) Access Full Background Checks Instantly.
Illuminati's Next Bombshell is About to Hit! Experts Investigate.
The abbreviation e.g. can be used with more than one example, but don't end your multiple examples with "etc." Don't say:I like coffee shops, e.g., Starbucks, Seattle's Best, etc.Do say There is debate as to whether some of the Julio-Claudian emperors (e.g., Tiberius and Nero) were evil.
Example 2. Helen and Her Siblings:
I.E. (Id Est)
The most beautiful human in Greek mythology, i.e., Leda's daughter Helen, may have had a unibrow, according to a 2009 book on Helen I'm reading.
[Helen, whose beauty launched the Trojan War, is considered the most beautiful woman from Greek mythology. There is no contender.]
E.G. (Exempli Gratia)
The children of Leda, e.g., Castor and Pollux, were born in pairs.
[The pair of boys, who are named Castor and Pollux, might be called twins, but it's not so clear about another set of Leda's offspring. Helen was said to have been hatched from an egg; Clytemnestra, born. Despite this distinction in manner of birth, Leda gestated/brooded multiple "pairs" of children, so Castor and Pollux are an example.]
