… (That's the German word for 'LOVE' that U.S. WOMEN's National Soccer-defender Ali Krieger has TATTOOED on her left-forearm.)
('Rocky'-quotes)
So, I was thinking CINEMATICALLY--as I USUALLY do--about my PERSISTENCE in my rehabilitation … DESPITE NUMEROUS/COUNTLESS, seemingly INEVITABLE "hurdles"/"obstacles" to OVERCOME.
My mind--almost IMMEDIATELY "jumped to" the CLASSIC "feel-GOOD" tale of
"Rocky Balboa":
-- "WHEN can I fight AGAIN?!"
(--Rocky, after a doctor goes-over his LAUNDRY-LIST of injuries)
(… I have a PLETHORA/PLENTITUDE/SURPLUS of SIGNIFICANT injuries, … but I REALLY MISS--METAPHORICALLY--"KICKIN' some A--"!
-- My brother--to ME: "WHY do you wanna FIGHT?!"
My reply: "'Cuz I caN'T SING or DANCE."
(… ACTUALLY, I WAS in the School-Chorus in the 4th AND 5th grades.
Also, I've been known to "cut a lil' rug" out on the dance-floor … EVEN in my WHEELCHAIR!
Ask the attendants of my "10-Year High School Reunion" … AND/OR my last girlfriend!)
-- TANGENT:
So, my neural-psychologist gave me the ULTIMATE-COMPLIMENT earlier today.
(… YAY!)
She COMMENDED my writing--from THIS HERE BLOG--& RECOMMENDED (… No, NOT "commended AGAIN") (… THAT would be "RE-commended. … Alas, NO hyphen) that I inquire about "writing for a local-publication". ERGO--THUS--THEREFORE, I'd APPRECIATE it, if anyone SUPPORTS said idea of MY REGULARLY-"producing" a publicized-"COLUMN", then PLEASE either "comment" on THIS blog-post AND/OR send an "electronic-postage" to
altankaynatma@yahoo.com .
-- So, I just watched the PHENOMENAL-play of the U.S. WOMEN's National soccer team. as the LOVELY-LADIES BEAT #1-Germany.
(… YAY!)
Therefore, I--JOKINGLY--compared the "German WOMEN's soccer-LOSS to the Americans" to the slogan for 'Beck's'-beer:
"The BEST of what Germans do BEST".
(… It's FUNNY, 'cuz the GERMAN soccer team--BOTH men's AND women's--are ranked #1 in the WORLD!)
(… It's NOT funny, when you hafta EXPLAIN your JOKE. … DAMNIT, A.J.!)
(… "Fuckin' NAZIS!--Walter, 'The Big Lebowski')
… 'Twas QUITE/VERY PLEASANT to watch the World Cup-SEMIFINAL WIN with … my brother, … who was MY SOCCER-TEAMMATE for TWO (out of my FOUR) seasons in the countywide YOUTH-League. (… I was JUST a PRE-adolescent.)

(… Is it so WRONG that I--a "T.B.I."-victim--LIKE TO "show-off" for people I doN'T see EVERYDAY?!)
So, I watched only SOME of 'Saw 2' today (I had Speech-Therapy.), & the VILLAINOUS-character JIGSAW got me THINKIN' … thanks to some of his quotes:
"LIVE or DIE … Make your CHOICE."
(… My IRON-WILL greatly influences my DETERMINATION to "press-ON" THROUGHOUT my "rehabilitation" … IN SPITE OF my MANY "obstacles"/"hurdles".)

… What I RECENTLY discovered about MYSELF:
…
Last night--during a break toward the END of my "Welcome-BACK"-Party,
I found myself seated (OBVIOUSLY) ALONE--in my living room--after JUST winning 2 out of 3 games of "'BEIRUT'"--INSIDE.
… THEN this morning, I "ate"--via "G-tube"--my "SECOND-breakfast"(--'Hobbit') at ~8:45 am--IN my BATHROOM--after HALF of my (DAILY) MORNING-"WALK". Thus, my nurse "fed me" in my CHAIR in my LAVATORY. With-OUT my glasses, laptop OR television to "keep me BUSY"/DISTRACTED, I remained VERY MUCH "at a LOSS" of HOW to PREVENT EXTREME-BOREDOM.
… So, I thought of NUMBERS:
When I have nothing BETTER to do, I--SOMETIMES--count (& sum-UP) PRIME #s:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 , 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, (UP TO & INCLUDING "the BEST #:) "73" ...
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 , 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, (UP TO & INCLUDING "the BEST #:) "73" ...
= 712 … which is DIVISIBLE by … 4 … 178 times … which is FURTHER divisible by 4 AGAIN … 44.5 times … which is divisible by 8.9 FIVE times.
(… THIS is how I spend my SPARE-/"FREE"-time.)
(… Ergo, I NEED visitors!)
(… Ergo, I NEED visitors!)
… My BRAIN remains--CONSTANTLY, entirely--focused on anything/EVERYTHING "I can get my hands ON".
PLUS, I'm VeRY creative & resourceful.
So, although I "bitch"/complain ALOT, I RARELY actually REALLY "slip into BOREDOM".
… My mom kinda FORCED ME into NOT being … or EVEN saying "BORED".
She always claimed:
"If you're 'BORED', then your BRAIN's NOT working."
(… THANKS for the MOTIVATION to STAY-BUSY!)

I'm SURPRISINGLY NOT that tired or moody/cranky.
(… I slept ~3.75 hours last night.)
( : ( )
… But, "BITCHIN'" party to WELCOME my brother!
...
(… Calculator-noise)
…
Yes, "according to my rig-SEARCH", said "par-TAY" was
"bitch-IN".
… The fact that I'm NOT in a (British-accent) "PISSY"-mood CONFIRMS my PREDICTION/HYPOTHESIS that I am NOT a woman … but a MAN.
… THAT & the EXTernal genitalia
… AND the Adam's apple
… AND my rather HIRSUTE body
… AND my DEEP-voice
… AND that WONDERFUL "Y-chromosome" OVERFLOWING with
LOGIC, REASONING, DETERMINATION & 'CHUTZPAH'.
(… No, I did NOT intend for THAT to seem MISOGYNISTIC. I just NEED some sort of EXPLANATION as to WHY/HOW I MIGHT be a BETTER person than SO MANY people I've encountered.

(… 'Tis JUST a HUNCH!)
…
ALAS!
I HAD TO revise my employEES' work-schedules, 'cuz TWO caregivers (out of four TOTAL) are taking a "day-OFF"--on SEPARATE/DIFFERENT days--this weekend. … Thus, I HAD TO "juggle the NUMBERS" (… THAT's what I DO … VERY WELL.) to keep EVERYONE happy/balanced.

--RIDICULOUSLY OBLIVIOUS, GULLIBLE & NAIVE Dr. Sheldon Cooper, 'The Big Bang Theory'))
…
"Two WRONGS doN'T make a RIGHT."
(--COMMON saying)
'Au CONTRAIRE!'
MATHEMATICALLY, an
ODD # plus an ODD # WILL produce an EVEN #.
((… BOTH my parents were "ODD"(STRANGE). Yet, they STILL "PRODUCED" an "ODD" result (ME). HOW?! WHY?!))
(… I consider EVEN #s MORE "RIGHT" than ODDS.)
… E.g. 3 + 5 = 8
7 + 9 = 16
11 + 13 = 24
… CONVERSELY, an ODD # MULTIPLIED BY an ODD # equals an ODD "product".
(… This DICTION/"word-choice" seems FAR-more APPROPRIATE … regarding MY BIRTH!)
… E.g. 3 x 5 = 15
7 x 9 = 63
11 x 13 = 143
… So, HOW'd I--an "'ODD'-ball"--become SOMEWHAT "EVEN"?!
… ME?!
"Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist."
((--Tony Stark (Iron Man), 'The Avengers'))
(… Since I'm ONLY a MILLION-aire, would I be "SEMI-Iron Man"?
… I AM--KINDA--the other three.
… PLUS, if I were a MUSICAL-symphony, the amount of ACTUAL-metal/-"iron" WELDED-inside my body would be
APPROXIMATELY a "hemidemisemiquaver".)
(… THAT's a MUSICAL-note with a time-value EQUAL to 1/64 of a "semibreve".)
(… "SEMI-even'"? Ha ha HA!
Try … "Not at ALL".)

"Think of the HAPPIEST THIIINNNGGGSSS! It's the SAME as having WIIINNNGGGSSS!"
…
--Peter Pan
…
Hey, "FLYING"'s GOTTA BE EASIER than WALKING!
(… Hey, NOTHING's "IM-possible"! … It may be MATHEMATICALLY-/STATISTICALLY IM-PROBABLE. But, what happened to "ANYTHING can happen!"?)
…
DESPITE my IN-ability to--TEMPORARILY--CONSISTENTLY, EFFICIENTLY "WALK", I AM ECSTATIC about & QUITE PROUD of the FACT that my VERY ACTIVE & ATHLETIC lifestyle PRE-accident established a "THROUGH-the-ROOF" metabolism! I spend ~22 hours/day, ~154 hours/week, ~8030 hours/NON-Leap Year SITTING, yet I've GAINED ~ten pounds since my senior-wrestling season … of HIGH SCHOOL! I maintain a "HEALTHY"/"Normal" "Body-Mass Index" of
"22.4",
DESPITE acquiring a "peg-tube" jutting-OUT from my stomach that PREVENTS my digestive-system from PROPERLY-functioning.
… If my--CURRENT--situation were a film, a POSSIBLE name COULD BE …
'Mission NOT TOO IMPOSSIBLE: Strut Your Stuff'
OR
'Mission IM-PROBABLE: Beating the Odds AGAINST Walking'.
(… SPOILER ALERT: I will NOT need Tom Cruise … or ANY PERSON to ASSIST me!)
…
I have dreams of a better world … where chickens can cross
the road without having their motives being questioned.
(… WHY? … Why NOT?!)
… In order to "FLY", I'd NEED TREMENDOUS
ARM-STRENGTH, -FLEXIBILITY & -MOBILITY.
… Speaking of WHICH, today I demonstrated my USUAL
FANTASTICALLY ENCOURAGING display of LEFT-armed
POWER & PERSEVERANCE.
… However, 'twas my LEGS that were my LONG-TIME
source-of-PRIDE. For almost-ALL of my 23+ years (… &
GOING) training in the MARTIAL ARTS, 'twas my
INCREDIBLE, UNPARALLELED LEG-STRENGTH,
-FLUIDITY & -QUICKNESS that really "set me
APART/ABOVE" my fellow-'karateka'.
… Thus, I've HAD TO adjust. 'KUDOS' to my "UPPER
body"-trainer, 'cuz I am REALLY noticing an
IMPROVEMENT!
((… In a RELATED story, (I'm FLEXING, as I PRETEND to
NOT know.) Anyone know the way to … the BEACH?!
… Or, how 'bout the … WEIGHT-ROOM?!
…
So, I attended my SECOND (of FOUR) "Lecture" today at my "SEMI-Graduate School" (Nova University):
-- The SUBJECT of the "talk" was "SKIN-care & -dangers".
The SPEAKER was quite KNOWLEDGABLE & INFORMATIVE.
-- And, I made my FIRST ("PAINFUL") ERROR/MIS-judgment.
Considering the COMBINATION of the "TOPIC" (SKIN-care) & the "AREA in which I LIVE" (South Florida), I SHOULD'VE KNOWN that the AUDIENCE would be … ALL OLD-folks & GRUMPY/CRANKY "retirees"!
-- … They asked ALOTTA AGGRAVATING questions!
In HINDSIGHT I can UNDERSTAND/SYMPATHIZE/EMPATHIZE that they're just concerned about their--respective--DETERIORATING-health!

(… However,
IS there 'A GOOD Kind of LONELY'?!

MY Neural-psychologist asks me HOW I'm doing.
MY reply: "Well, I get DIZZY-spells, nausea, COLD-sweats, HOT-sweats, FEVER-blisters, difficulty-BREATHING, difficulty-SWALLOWING, blurred-vision, IN-voluntary-trembling, 'DEAD-hands', numb-lips, fingernail-SENSITIVITY, pelvic DIS-comfort."

ME: "If I FAKE it, … then I doN'T HAVE it."
…
ME: "Good bye, green-puking, dog-pissing BARF-breath!"
Neural-psychologist: "Bye, SHIT-for-brains!"
ME: "Considering your JOB is to analyze & inspect said 'BRAIN', … I am 'HURT'!"
(… SINGLE tear)
Neural-psycologist: "I'm SORRY! I was ONLY playing-along"
ME: … "Also, APPARENTLY, you're 'as BLIND as a BAT', if you couldN'T 'SEE' that I was JOKING!"

After checking my emails & reading ALOTTA SPORTS-updates, I HAD TO "keep an eye on" (… maybe TWO) my "HOUSE-cleaners" … who are ALL (four) Hispanic. (… 'Cuz they're NEW … to working/cleaning at MY house)

My POOL-cleaner--FINALLY "dropped-by" today … after NOT coming for OVER a month.
1) LAST TIME--in APRIL--he put SUMTHIN' in the water that turned my pool GREEN.
2) He said my filter--that HE installed--is BROKEN.

I had a LATE night last night!
… Thus--Therefore--Ergo--Consequently, upon ARRIVING HOME
at 12:36 am
"LAST NIGHT"/"THIS MORNING"
from watching
my FAVORITE film ('The Big Lebowski')--
IN-THEATER--
WITH 5 OTHER friends--
WAY DOWN in "Coral Gables"/"SOUTH Miami".
(… For those UN-familiar with "SoFla", THAT's ~ a 53-minute drive.)
(… Nonetheless, the ESCAPADE was "chock-FULL of"
GREAT times
w/ GREAT people
doing a GREAT activity!)
"LONG story SHORT":
I was TOO TIRED to actually POST my blog for/of the DAY.
So, I'll TRY TO "make UP" for my "wild … & CRAZY night"! (--Steve Martin & Dan Ayktoyd, OLD-SCHOOL 'S.N.L')

"The MIND is a TERRIBLE thing … to WASTE!" (… Especially MINE)
…
STRANGELY, I--almost ONLY--swing my LEFT-leg WAY-out WIDE, while I "WALK".
So, I'm--USUALLY--BANGING my LEFT-leg against my walker as I "TROT"/"GALLOP".
…
Last night I was watching the annual "GUYS' Awards", when "it HIT me":
I'd VENTURE to say that I am a POSSIBLE candidate for MY GENERATION's
"G.O.A.T."-Award.

('Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind'-quotes) "'HARNESSING' one's 'QI'"
…
"The art of happiness is the art of mental discipline.
Learning to take responsibility for managing
your own thoughts, feelings and actions and letting go
of the need to make the external world responsible for them."
(--Author UNKNOWN)
TRUE friendship is A LOT like "SOUND" health:
You're JOYFUL, when you've GOT it;
you're FORLORN, when you doN'T;
& the VALUE of it is SELDOM known 'til it is "LOST".
(… SINGLE tear)
If we did ALL the things we were CAPABLE OF doing, we would--literally--ASTONISH ourselves.
(… It ALL "roots in" … PHYSICS:
"Convert 'POTENTIAL-energy' into 'KINETIC-energy'.")
"DoN'T STUMBLE-over something 'BEHIND you'."
(… THAT's METAPHORICAL for: Choosing to live in the past and obsessively reviewing it over and over, makes us unavailable for any new positive possibilities that are happening in the moment.)
(… DoN'T DWELL!)
Ya know what was a GREAT film?
'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'!
… Personally, I interpret "SPOTLESS"--both literally AND I've SEEN the HIGH-QUALITY film--as CLEAR & PURE yet quite UNIQUE.
… "'CONSTANTLY-talking' isn't NECESSARILY 'communicating'."
(… In MY case, the EXACT-OPPOSITE IS TRUE:
I RARELY …am ABLE TO … "speak". Yet, I "communicate" my NEEDS via "body-gestures" and/or letter-board.)… "ADULTS are, like, this MESS of SADNESS & PHOBIAS."
(… When I was a KID/CHILD, I was --CONSTANTLY--so HAPPY & ENERGETIC. NOW, I doN'T, really, have MANY "fears". But, I DO tend to be SAD & SELF-loathing ENTIRELY TOO FREQUENTLY.)
… My best FEMALE-friend--to ME: "Baby, what's wrong?"
ME: "I don't know, I doN'T KNOW! I'm LOST! I'm SCARED! I feel like I'm DISAPPEARING! My SKIN's coming-OFF! I'm getting OLD! NOTHING makes any sense to me! NOTHING ... MAKES … ANY … SENSE!
(… EXCEPT ALL forms of MATHEMATICS!)
… 'Por ejemplo':
(… In my SPARE-/FREE-time, I "look-up"/research Geometric "tidbits" in my spare-time.)
(… I regard THIS as an IMPROVEMENT of MY "MENTAL-discipline".)
Did y'ALL know that a
"rhombicosidododecahedron" is
an "Archimedean solid" with 20 "regular" TRIANGULAR-faces, 30 SQUARE-faces, 12 "regular" PENTAGONAL-faces, 60 vertices & 120 edges?!
(… JUST "SMILE & NOD", regarding the "CLARIFICATION".)
(--'E.S.S.M.')
… ME: "Well, THAT's, like, YOUR OPINION, man."
(--The DUDE, 'The Big Lebowski')
… ME: "Actually, THAT 'OPINION' is 'OPEN to INTERPRETATION."

WHOA, that's "DEEP"!
…
You can close your EYES to things you don't want to SEE.

want to FEEL.
((… I've had NUMEROUS (INTERNAL-)injuries
(BUSTED/broken bones, "BROKEN-heart",
EMBARRASSMENTS, a "T.B.I.", etc.). Thus, there ARE
"hindrances" NOT visible to "the NAKED-eye".
Consequently, I've undergone TOO MUCH
emotional-/psychological-PAIN.))
"There is NO-pressure, when you BELIEVE in YOURSELF.
… There is ONLY pressure, when (IF) you doN'T have
CONFIDENCE. I've LIVED by that. If you believe in yourself,
and you've PRACTICED your WHOLE LIFE to do what
you're SUPPOSED TO DO, it's NOT 'pressure'. It's just
'GREAT-EXPECTATIONS'."
(--NBA-great & 1975 Finals-MVP Rick Barry, on the
Golden State Warriors' "PRE-Game 6" mind frame/psyche)
(… THANKFULLY, Golden State "weathered the storm" that
IS "King James". ME: "Can I get an 'AMEN!'?")
((… Relating to ME, I've experienced NUMEROUS
"DOUBTERS" & "HATERS" (… Not nearly as many
RECENTLY--THANKFULLY), so I've kinda HAD TO "focus
MUCH of my EFFORT/ENERGY" on CONVINCING OTHERS
to "RAISE their standards of/for ME" & to NOT "have a
'PITY-Party'" for me.))
(… I EVEN attended this "LONG, EXTENSIVE/INTENSE
seminar about how to better INTENSIFY my FOCUS".
'Twas an "OUT-of body EXPERIENCE".)
(… DAMNIT! WHEN is it NOT "TOO SOON" for the
"concentration-camp" JOKES?!
DoN'T censor me!)
…
So, TODAY was my "BIANNUAL" switching of my "G-/peg-tube". So, seeing as THAT was--pretty much--the ONLY thing I was ALLOWED (WISELY)--by my NURSE--to DO, I have A BIT of SPARE-/FREE-time … for the next FEW days. Thus, I've had some time to REFLECT.
… So, I AWOKE this morning … at ~ my USUAL time (~6:05 am). But, I was BOTHERED by a SLIGHT uncomfortable "tingling"/"tearing" coming from my stomach/"tube-area". "SHITBALLZ!" I thought, "How does it KNOW?!"
Thinking-HIGHLY of my gastro-intestinal INSIDES ('cuz, let's face it, they ARE MINE), I was--MOMENTARILY--"under the impression" that my BODY "KNEW" what it HAD TO undergo/withstand/experience/"fight THROUGH" today.
… (PAUSE … for EFFCT.)
… Alas, said DISCOMFORT was ONLY tape & DRIED "food" STUCK-TO my HIRSUTE abdominal-area.
(… TRANSLATION: MY body is NOT as SMART as I THINK 'tis.

TANGENT:

UUUGGGHHH! I HAFTA "SORT my way" through NUMEROUS CONTRADICTIONS!
…
Jedi-MASTER Yoda preaches:
"DO or DO NOT. There is NO 'TRY'."
YET, common sayingS reveal:
"You NEVER KNOW, 'til you TRY."
"If, at first, you doN'T succeed, TRY, TRY again."
(… "My GUT-feeling is tellin' me" that I am NOT YET a Jedi. Ergo, Yoda can … "go suck a … LEMON".)
...
ONE of my nurseS refers to "the tube CONNECTED to my STOMACH but PROTRUDING-OUT of my lower-abdomen" as a "G-tube".
My OTHER nurse calls it a "peg-tube".
(… Sooo, WHAT is it?!)
(… They're synonyms! ''C'est la vie.'')
…
My MAIN-NURSE instructed me to be VERY CAREFUL with the AREA around my "G-tube" for the NEXT FEW DAYS, as I am getting the "peg-tube" REPLACED tomorrow "PREvening" (AT ~4:00 pm).
YESTERDAY, said "nurse" told me I can--at LEAST--VIEW classes. As long as I do NOT DEMONSTRATE … while lying … ON THE GROUND.
(… NOW/TODAY she says that I "SHOULD just SKIP it & STAY in bed … for MAXIMUM-safety
(… As much as I REALLY WANNA TEACH & DEMONSTRATE, I WANNA AVOID PAIN & FURTHER INTERNAL-DAMAGE even MORE! So, I'll go-EASY … for NOW!)
…
My TRAINERS at "NeuroFit 360" tell me to lean-FORWARD, when I STAND … for LEVERAGE & MOMENTUM.
YET, my CaregiverS ALWAYS urge me to lean-BACKWARDS, whilst I "frolic-about".
(… Since I TRUST the DEFINITELY smartER, more PHYSICS-/"BODY MECHANICS"-minded recommendations of my TRAINERS, I'll CONTINUE TO lean-FORWARD.)
P.S. Tomorrow-afternoon I'm goin' into the DREADED …
HOSPITAL
to get my "G-/peg-tube" SWITCHED-OUT.
(… HOPEFULLY, those medical-ASSHOLES do NOT TRY to MAKE ME stay overnight …
OR, "WRITE ME-UP … AGAIN" for LEAVING the SAME-DAY!)
(GODSPEEED to ME!)

My MAIN-NURSE instructed me to be VERY CAREFUL with the AREA around my "G-tube" for the NEXT FEW DAYS, as I am getting the "peg-tube" REPLACED tomorrow "PREvening" (AT ~4:00 pm).
YESTERDAY, said "nurse" told me I can--at LEAST--VIEW classes. As long as I do NOT DEMONSTRATE … while lying … ON THE GROUND.
(… NOW/TODAY she says that I "SHOULD just SKIP it & STAY in bed … for MAXIMUM-safety
(… As much as I REALLY WANNA TEACH & DEMONSTRATE, I WANNA AVOID PAIN & FURTHER INTERNAL-DAMAGE even MORE! So, I'll go-EASY … for NOW!)
…
My TRAINERS at "NeuroFit 360" tell me to lean-FORWARD, when I STAND … for LEVERAGE & MOMENTUM.
YET, my CaregiverS ALWAYS urge me to lean-BACKWARDS, whilst I "frolic-about".
(… Since I TRUST the DEFINITELY smartER, more PHYSICS-/"BODY MECHANICS"-minded recommendations of my TRAINERS, I'll CONTINUE TO lean-FORWARD.)
P.S. Tomorrow-afternoon I'm goin' into the DREADED …
HOSPITAL
to get my "G-/peg-tube" SWITCHED-OUT.
(… HOPEFULLY, those medical-ASSHOLES do NOT TRY to MAKE ME stay overnight …
OR, "WRITE ME-UP … AGAIN" for LEAVING the SAME-DAY!)
(GODSPEEED to ME!)

Are you a … LEADER … or a … FOLLOWER?!
…
Since I caN'T--CURRENTLY/TEMPORARILY--speak (CONSISTENTLY-COGENTLY,), I prefer to "LEAD by EXAMPLE".
… If you give it TIME (I HAVE/WILL.),
"'LIFE 'finds a way."
(--Dr. Ian Malcolm, ORIGINAL 'Jurassic Park')
((… I HAVE (SEMI-patiently) waited … for "LIFE". I WILL CONTINUE to do so.
(… I'm "EYEING my WATCH" & "tapping my foot".))
… ME (to my LEGS):
"'MIRACLES' are SIMPLY 'LOVE in ACTION'.
BE the 'MIRACLE'."
(--Harold Becker)
The successful leader must be willing to "assume"
responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of his
followers.
(…. I do NOT like the term--"ASSUME"--'cuz "it makes an
'ASS' out of 'U' & 'ME'.)
(… Ergo, how 'bout "TAKE"?)
… Furthermore, "do as I SAY … NOT as I DO".
… "There's a DIFFERENCE between 'OWNING' a
STRENGTH & actually 'EMPLOYING' (APPLYING) it."
(--NBA-analyst Eric Freeman)
… EVERY ACCOMPLISHMENT STARTS
with the DECISION to TRY.
… So, my DIS-agreeing with Master Yoda's Jedi-teaching
proves to be a GREAT segue into my workout at "NeuroFit
360".
(… Master Yoda's BLASPHEMY: "DO or do NOT. There is
NO 'TRY'.")
… So, I "WALKED" into my "LEG-workout"-facility &
IMMEDIATELY "AMBLED"-over to the "I-Flex"-
WALKING/STEPPING Machine.
My trainer STARTED me at "25 rpm" for ~eight minutes, but
I LAUGHED, "rolled my eyes" & EVEN removed my RIGHT
hand to "BRUSH the dirt OFF my (LEFT) shoulder".
… NEXT, my trainer "cranked-UP" the SPEED to "32 rpm"
for ~a minute then "36 rpm" for ~two minutes before
"pedaling" ~four minutes at "40 rpm".
(… STRANGELY, I "WALK" BETTER/SMOOTHER at
highER-speeds than lowER-/easIER-speeds.)
… I "worked" A LOT with the Owner on my "Balanced-
'STANDING'". I, EVEN, practiced my weight-SHIFTING as I
LIFTED & HELD-UP (for ~ten seconds … EACH TIME) BOTH
legs--one-at-a-time (OBVIOUSLY).
…
I am DETERMINED to NOT let my MANY "DOUBTERS" &
"OBSTACLES" "get in my HEAD" (PSYCHOLOGICALLY) to
DISCOURAGE me!
…
One of my 'Sempai' asked me to meet him--at my dojo
'MAN(tilde)ANA' (He's PART-Hispanic.) to PRACTICE some
of MY 'jujitsu'-techniques to CO-teach on Thursday.
