(… RELAX! There's NOT an "Insane Clown Posse" waiting in my bathroom.)
(… I checked.)
… SOME time TODAY, I HAFTA design … AT LEAST TWO NEW Jujitsu-techniques.
(… It'd be a HELLUVA-LOT easIER to DESIGN helpful/logical/smooth "GROUND & POUND"-techniques with a PARTNER … to help VISUALIZE & "FEEL" the LOCKS & STRIKES!
But, ''C'est la vie.'' (… 'Such is LIFE.')
… ONE technique "DOWN"/DONE … at/by 10:34 am!
(… I eat "PRESSURE" for BREAKFAST! "… With SKIM milk."
--Happy in 'Subway'-commercial, 'Happy Gilmore')
… AAANNNDDD, TWO techniques DONE at 11:06 am!
HHHMMM, … I guess I'll just HAFTA make-up MORE!
… THREE!
I designed THREE NEW KARATE/WRESTLING/JUJITSU-techniques!
…
RATHER-than play ALOTTA "Minesweeper"--which I did, … LATER, I watched the GREAT 2006-remake of the 1976-CLASSIC 'The Omen'.
(… I had NEVER-seen EITHER ONE, but … WHOA! NOICE!)
…
I had a VERY-GOOD "Speech Therapy"-session (as ALWAYS), in which I ate TWO scrambled eggs--practically flaw-LESS-ly--& "kicked-ASS" in Scrabble.

I can-NOT SEEM-to get this DAMN "dirt off my shoulder"!
… (ALAS! I continue to ATTEMPT-to "brush it ASIDE".)
Earlier this week (Sunday*), I thought I had NOT created enough NEW Jujitsu-techniques for the KIDS' classes.
Today, I THOUGHT my bedside-buzzer was BROKEN.
(… "Alliteration aside."--'Dodgeball')
Sure enough, FOUR "rings"/"buzzes" later, it "SOUNDED".
WHEW!
(… My NEW "Caregiver" just CHOSE-to IGNORE it.
'Sah-LAHK!')
(… THAT's PHONETIC Turkish for 'IDIOT!')
(… PARDON me, … MOM! I forgot to include my "AUDIBLE-sigh" … which I DID!)
… Said (INCOMPETENT) Caregiver REPEATEDLY STRUGGLES-to "put-ON"/"pull-OFF" the foot-pedals of my (MANUAL-)wheelchair.
WHY is it that he's the ONLY-one who REALLY-struggles with my "chair-PARTS"?!
(… He's the ONLY-person who "BITCHES-about" the "HOW-to"/"WORKINGS" of my chair. … CONTRARY-to his IMPLICATIONS, it's instructions/directions are "NOT in Japanese"!
(… Seeing as I've been studying 'Okinawan**-Shoreiru Karate' for OVER 23 YEARS, I THINK I would know!)
NOT to seem CONDESCENDING, but I thought of Dr. Sheldon Cooper of 'The Big Bang Theory':
…
"What are the odds that I'd be wrong TWICE in the SAME WEEK?!"
(… Then, I CHUCKLED.)
…
So, I'm feeling RATHER/"a TAD-BIT" "DOWN in the DUMPS", JUST 'cuz I KEEP thinkin' about my seemingly-INEVITABLE "hip-REPLACEMENT surgery".
The NECESSARY (?!) SURGERY is bad-ENOUGH! But, I have a VISIBLE, WELL-DOCUMENTED HISTORY of BOTCHED/MESSED-up SURGICAL-procedures!
(… Look at my RIGHT-hand/-forearm, my LEFT-big toe, my LEFT-shoulder … and/or my SKULL!)
… AAAHHH, THAT's (EMOTIONALLY-/ PSYCHOLOGICALLY-) "COMFORTING"!
My MAIN-nurse JUST informed me that SAID surgery is not NECESSARILY a "GIVEN". My hip's "OKAY, provided (I) REST & do NOT put ADDED/UN-necessary PRESSURE on it".
… I WANNA attribute my LACK-of VISIBLE-/PHYSICAL-pain TO my 23+ YEARS of "pain-TOLERANCE". … But, my nurseS INSIST that--at least SOME-of--IT's from my "SEVERED-/DEAD-"nerves.
… "Just 'cuz I doN'T SCREAM in PAIN & AGONY, doesN'T mean it's NOT THERE."
(--War-veteran PATIENT to operating-doctors, 'House')
… So, UN-fortunately, I can-NOT DEMONSTRATE my Jujitsu-techniques. I MUST enTRUST my 'Sempai' to do-so.
(… LUCKILY, he's very-GOOD/-KNOWLEDGEABLE!
… WHEW!)
… Furthermore, UN-fortunately one of my Caregivers MIS-placed/LOST THREE of my FOUR NEW Jujitsu-techniques.
(… AUDIBLE-sigh)
… REGARDLESS of THEIR IR-responsibility, I SHALL
"just SHAKE-it-OFF" & review my PAST-work.
“When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.” - William Arthur Ward
… My 'Sempai'/buddy DID demonstrate my ONE technique BEAUTIFULLY tonight.
(… He even "threw-in" a CLEVER/HELPFUL alteration to make the technique "SMOOTHER".
… MUCH-appreciated!)
(… So, I've GOTTA prepare AT LEAST … TWO NEW techniques BEFORE Saturday's class.)
...
“Show me a man with both feet on the ground, and I’ll show you a man who can’t put his pants on.” - Arthur K. Watson
(… So, Mr. Watson's LITERALLY-implying that I CAN/COULD "put-ON my pants"--INDIVIDUALLY. … HHHMMM, I'll TRY that … tomorrow.)
…
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” - Helen Adams Keller
(… Ergo, my HORRENDOUS, UNFORTUNATE, CATASTROPHIC injurIES are HELPING-to bolster my "SOLID-'character'".)
(… Based-on my NEWLY-developed EMPATHY … & ENTREPRENEURSHIP, I believe I'm FURTHER-"solidifying" MY PERSONAL, AWE-"inspiring" "success".)
…
The REAL reason WHY I tend-to be SAD, LONELY & prone-to HOST social-gatherings:
"People with CANCER get DEPRESSED, NOT because of the PAIN, but because they're afraid of dying-ALONE."
(--DR. Wilson, 'House')
…
TODAY's Caregiver RUINED "the moment", JUST as I was "telling him" a JOKE.
(… AUDIBLE-sigh)
After my Karate-class ENDED, SAID "Caregiver" was complimenting my GREAT technique, when I TRIED-to "spell-out" a JOKE:
"You sound SURPRISED."
(… But, after FOUR "spelling-TRIALS", I AUDIBLY-sighed & just "WITHHELD my SARCASM".
… He ALWAYS-tells me "ONE more time", … THEN he repeats THAT-task AT LEAST … THREE more times.
… While I brush my teeth, he HELPS with my oral-care. When he SCRUBS my … TONGUE & such, he says, "Okay, now between your TEETH & GUMS."
(… WouldN'T he NEED-to perform "dental-SURGERY" in order to do-THAT?!)
(… Am I being TOO-LITERAL?!)
P.S. MY NEW Jujitsu-technique was SO "SWEET", that ~"a quarter of an hour" (~15 minutes) AFTER he learned the/MY technique, a 'Karateka' APPLIED it in his "M.M.A."-sparring.
(… WELL-done!)
(… I stuck my RIGHT-thumb WAY HIGH-UP … during class!)

"ONE for 'BAD'. TWO for 'GOOD'."
… (--Charlie Babbit, 'Rain Man')
(WARNING) (The total length of the digestive tract varies by person, but in an adult male can stretch from 20 to 40 feet … OR 240 to 480 INCHES.)
A few days ago, my "digestive system" was VERY "ACTIVE". In a span of ~34 HOURS, I "evacuated my BOWELS" … THREE different times. (… 9:45 pm --> 9:40 am --> 7:45 am)
… So, by "plugging-IN" & QUANTIFYING/CALCULATING, THAT would be ("Distance / Time-travelled = Speed")
~20 feet x 3 "EXCRETIONS" / ~34 hours =
~1.763 intestinal-feet travelled per hour .
OR, THAT'd be
~40 feet x 3 "EXCRETIONS" / ~34 hours =
~3.529 intestinal-feet travelled per hour.
"Hey, if you caN'T help FRIENDS in-NEED, who CAN you help?!"
(--'Bandidas')

… I've ALWAYS been a "GIVER". (I'm GENEROUS

…
I seem-to have a "TALENT" for finding quality-MOVIES & SHOWS on the television.
(… This MORNING/AFTERNOON 'twas
'Rounders', 'Rain Man', 'Ghostbusters', 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', 'Ghostbusters 2' … & 'Limitless' on "on-DEMAND".)
… I USED-to be VERY ATHLETIC/"SPORTY" … back when I COULD actually PARTICIPATE-in MANY GAMES. But, NOW … I kinda-HAFTA spend ~66.67% of my WAKING-hours on my laptop AND/OR watching the "BOOB-TUBE".
(… Upon reflection, I'm gonna do MORE "AT-HOME workouts".)
… This "PRE-vening" I "caught the END"-of 'Pay it Forward'.
(… I just REALLY-like the title, 'cuz--NOW that I HAVE the MONETARY-means--I'd SO LITERALLY do that … for MY life!)
…
My housemate showed my SPEECH-Therapist a "NOICE"-picture of our WINNING a RECENT-pic of HIS & MY WINNING a "Halloween Costume-Contest".
She was VERY COMPLIMENTARY!

(song)
(song-version of
Aerosmith's 'Walk this Way':)
"Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a MUFF AND
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young breeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
A just gimme a kiss
Like this
School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like this
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way

As his neck lets his head droop LOW.
He 'snaps his neck STRAIGHT,
When his trainer taps his head, … as IF he didN'T KNOW.

"Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a MUFF AND
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way

Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
A just gimme a kiss
Like this
School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like this
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance

(… He was seated ~12 feet from the OPEN-door. … So, I STARED-at him, as I "TRIED-to VOCALLY 'get his attention' … to NO-avail.)
… TODAY--SUNDAY--marked a much-BETTER day of "OUTER extracurricular activities!
My housemate & I went down to/for a POOL-PARTY for a BUNCH-of "somewhat-RANDOMS" … courtesy-of one of his WORK-associates.
I had a FANTASTIC-time with …
Funny & Friendly Folks--including
Lovely, Loud-Laughing Ladies--in Wonderfully-Warm yet Wet ('cuz of the SPLASHING-bodies in the pool) Weather!

I 'look at my life' & think to slowly 'roll my EYES'.'
'Cuz I've been ''kickin' metaphorical ass' for so LONG that
Even my mama thinks that my mind's still 'ON'.
But, I've NEVER refused to tutor ANYONE who asked for it.
MY being viewed as a 'TARD, I know that's 'UN-CALLED for'!

Or, KARMA may ''take a big CHOMP o' yo' ASS''!
I really-HATE bad news, but I've gotta BLOG!
HEY! My life's not ALL-BAD, so I highlight the 'GOOD'!
I've got the kind-of HOPE that many 'crips' wish they HAD.
Exercisin' EVERY DAY, so my legs aren't SO BAD.

Y'all know my 'situation'; y'all know my 'HURDLES'.
I caN'T live a 'NORMAL'-life, 'cuz that's 'BELOW-ME'.
Yet, I've gotta-be HUMBLE with my employee-DEALINGS.
My confidence makes me 'BITE-off MORE than I can CHEW'.
I'm HIGHLY-educated with MATH on my MIND.
Got algebra in my HEAD & a graph in my EYE.
I'm a NON-speaking, determined, GEN-er-us JEEN-yus.
So, doN'T TRY-to OUT-smart me!
I WORRY, as I STRUGGLE-to reach a 'HELP-VALVE'!
UN-fortunately, my LEGS can-NOT be healed with any SALVE.
The way things are going, I'm STRUGGLIN'-to remain HAPPY.
Nonetheless, I MUST trust my-own 'FIGHT'.

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's none left
'Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
I take a look at my life and realize there's none left
'Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger fool
Death aint nothing but a heart beat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say
I'm twenty three never will I live to see 24
The way things is going I don't know
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger fool
Death aint nothing but a heart beat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say
I'm twenty three never will I live to see 24
The way things is going I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck fool
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
