(SUNDAY) "We must 'FACE our FEARS', in order to (BETTER-) UNDERSTAND them."

… (--'Annabelle')
(… No, I did NOT watch this rather feminine-SOUNDING film.  I just turned-ON my television, & THIS was ON the channel.)

(… Also, SHAME-on-ME for ASS-U-ming the premise of the movie is "GIRLY".)


APPARENTLY, 
"The EARLY-'bird' gets the 'WORM'."
I was feeling MORE-dormant/-sedentary/-INactive than USUAL.  So, I "WALKED" 'a mi BANYO'--to urinate--at ~6:15 am.  Upon my "RETURN-TREK", I sat-in my wheelchair … ~FIVE hours EARLIER-than on MOST-days.


-- "Listen: DoN'T let ANYONE EVER tell you that you're 'HANDICAPPED'."
"'HANDICAPPED'?!  I prefer … 'EXCEPTIONAL'."
((--Party-guests to Edward (ME), 'Edward Scissorhands'))

… I did-NOT KNOW that:
When I looked-up the ACTUAL-definition of 'EXCEPTIONAL', ONE definition SPECIFICALLY-mentions the "SUPERIORITY" as "INTELLECTUALLY-'gifted'".

… In THAT case, I am VERY/QUITE … "EXCEPTIONAL".

… "No 'SACRIFICE', … no 'VICTORY'."
(--Sam Witwicky, 'Transformers')
(…    ………….

-- If you truly-want to "CHANGE your LIFE", you must FIRST be WILLING-to "CHANGE your MIND".


… "To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to 

change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our 

sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds." 

(--William James)


-- When I "WOKE from my (most-RECENT) COMA", I said to 

my EX-girlfriend:

"Ask me if I'm AFRAID."

( Her: "ARE you afraid?")

ME: "OF COURSE, I'm 'AFRAID'!   I've never DIED 

before."

(--The "LATE", GREAT NFL-legend, Walter "SWEETNESS" Payton)

-- HYPOTHETICAL-instance:
IF my body's EVER found-DEAD on a 'JOGGING'-trail, just-KNOW that I was murdered-ELSEWHERE … & DUMPED there.
(… I'm just thinkin' of the IRONY, 'cuz I doN'T really "WALK" … YET.)


-- THANKFULLY, I'm NOT THAT BAD!
(("It's the SEIZURES!  ANY ONE of them COULD put him in a 'VEGETATIVE-state'.  That's what he FEARS more than anything!"
(--Caregiver, about Lincoln Rhyme (ME), 'The Bone Collector')

"The Saga Begins"

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...

Oh my my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say
Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"
---------------------
He was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy

And I was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We were singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


''A.J.'s TRIUMPHANT-Tale''

"About seven-plus years AGO,
On a highway not-far from HERE, 
I 'suffered' a bad AK-sih-DENT.
Since then I've REE-lee STRUGGLED
To convince MY-SELF & OTHERS
Just how-MUCH my legs 'MEANT'!
Their LACK-of STRENGTH, it doesN'T THRILL ME.
Critics mumble how the crash didN'T KILL ME.
I exercise very-OFTEN
To NOT-let my 620 muscles all-SOFTEN!
I focus on … NOT 'bulk' but 'TONE'.
I DREAM-of 'building' 'tree-trunks' I could call my-OWN.
Maybe I'll 'put a pair on LOOOAN'.
I must do this MY-SELF.  …

Oh, my, MY, this athletic-GUY
Will-be WALKING someday later.  Now I can only TRY.
I'll STAND-from my 'chair', & wave it 'good-BYE',
Sayin', ''I've gotta-go TREK-for some PIE.''
''I've gotta-go TREK-for some PIE.''

Did you know THIS 'lame'-NERD

Could ASTOUND-you with just one WORD?!
But, I've got OTHER-skills, you'll SEE.
Ah, do YOU see my STABLE-'WALK'?!
And, can YOU hear my IMPROVING-TALK?!
Yeah, I'm HOPE-fully gonna ''use 'em'' SOOOMEDAAAY!

Well, I KNOW I've got quite a BRAIN! 
And, I've NOW got so much cash, I'll 'make it RAIN'!
But, I've STILL gotta be economically-SMART.
So, my 'investment-variety''s like a work-of-ART.
I WAS a WELL-respected Karate-'TEACH'.
Now I struggle-for goals to REACH.
If-ONLY I could 'erase' that one day with 'BLEACH'.
Oh, no, that day … SUCKED!

I'll start-''WALKIN'' …
Oh, my, MY!  What a SMART, crippled GUY!
Will be TALKIN' someday later.  Now, I just think of PI.
When I struggle-to step, I can-only just SIGH,
Thinkin': 'My wheelchair is kind-of a LIE.'
'My wheelchair is kind-of a … LIE!'  
Now I'm finally gettin' comfy OUT-in PUBLIC.
Thankfully, I LACK a random-TICK.
I hafta deal-with enough embarrass-MEEEHHHNT!
So, I'm goin' to MY ol' high SCHOOL.
WITH two friends, so I'm not a 'social-TOOL'.
