Sleep WELL & sleep IN-frequently.

... ('Tis the MAKESHIFT-story of the LAST ~7.8 YEARS of MY-LIFE!)

-- MY "INTERNAL Neurologic Center"'s been TRYING-to make a 'Star Wars'-JOKE for ALMOST-EIGHT YEARS!

Nerve-Center to Kinetic-Control:
"These areN'T the [LEGS] you're looking-FOR."

...

ME: (AUDIBLE-sigh) "Son-of-a-BITCH!"


-- So, I was "WALKIN'" 'a mi banyo' this MORNING--to URINATE ... into 'mi "JUAN"', when I noted that I'm KINDA-like 'The Man with Two Brains'.  
... METAPHORICALLY-thinking, ... my LEG-nerves & -muscles doN'T-ALWAYS "'OPERATE'-under""/"PROCESS" the SAME "GUIDELINES"/"instructions".

(... How APPROPRIATE that THIS-song--'I Walk Alone'--is from Green Day's CD entitled 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'!)


"I walk a lonely road.
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a-lone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's
Messed up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a-

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
'Til then I'll walk alone....  

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

Ahhh-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I walk alone
I walk a-

I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
'Til then I'll walk alone"

(MY-version/-edition/-revision, entitled--
'I Try-to Walk':

"I TRY-to SYNC-in NERVES.
They SSSEEM-to 'WORK' on DIFF-ER-ENT-PATHS.
Why woN'T they LIS-SIN?!
I've got LOTSA-muscles!  ... So, I'll use ANOTHER.

Ev'ry day I TRY
To 'BALANCE' nerves with 'neural-MESSAGES'.
When my nerves 'ALIGN',
And I've CAL-KYOO-LAY-TIHD BY-OH-FIH-ZIKS
I TRY-to WALK.
I TRY-to WALK. 
I TRY-to WALK.
I TRY-to WAAAAHHHKKK!

CURRENTLY, my LEGS ''aiN'T worth SHIT''!
My 'BEE-YOO-TIH-FUL MIND' keeps right-on THINKIN'!
Sometimes I wish I COULD rih-wind my LIFE.
... 'Til then, I'll TRY-to WALK.
Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah, Ahhh-Ah,
Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah!

I'm TRYIN'-to WALK-ALONE!  
My 'HURDLES' are MAINLY 'in my MIND'.
My 'ISSUES' are 'NERVE-PROBLEMS',
Rather-than 'MENTAL-WEAKNESS'.

Rih-main CALM, COOL, ... COLLECTED.
LEGS aiN'T ready yet.  (AUDIBLE-sigh) That's FINE.
I've ALWAYS got MULTIPLE-PLANS,
As I TRY-to WALK.


I TRY-to WALK.
I TRY-to WALK. 
I TRY-to WALK.

I TRY-to WAH-

If I FOCUS, I doN'T step 'pigeon-TOED'.
My MATH-mind's ALWAYS 'number-CRUNCHING'.
... I HAFTA-convert ANGLES into FIH-ZIKS.  
... WITH them I TRY-to WALK.

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-AH.


Ahhh-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-AH!

I TRY-to WALK.
I TRY-to WAH-

I WILL WALK EE-VEN-CHAH-LEE!

'Tis NOT ... JUST an INSPIRING-'DREAM'!
So, LEG-nerves 'SLEEP',
I USE uh-ther options, as I TRY-to ...

I 'can hang my head-HIGH', 'cuz I'm in-spy-RING!

In spite of E'RYTHING, I'm ALWAYS-THINKIN'
Someday I WILL walk-GALLANTLY ... for a CROWD!

'Til then, I'll keep-TRYIN'


Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-AH!

Ahhh-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-AH!

I TRY-to WALK!
I TRY-to ...
I TRY-to WALK steh-dih-LEE

Along my SORE-LEGS with 'deadENED-NERVES'.
When ONE try 'FAILS',
I doN'T QUIT, ... 'cuz I WILL PER-SUH-VEER!

When my LEG-nerves 'SLEEP', 
I'll just 'use' ANOTHER-OPTION'.
... My CHOICES are LIMITED ... with only-TWO LEG.

Despite my 'T.B.I.', I'm ALWAYS-THINKIN'!
... Sometimes I wish I COULD 'SHUT my DAMN-MIND OFF'!
... 'Til then, I'll TRY-to WALK."

-- I doN'T KNOW the reason, 
but I watched the CLASSIC-film--'The Shining'--this morning
--as I sat ... UP in my CHAIR*.
(... WHY was this CLASSIC HORROR-film COMPLETELY/TOTALLY UN-scary to me?!
... WAS it 'cuz I was playing ALOTTA "Minesweeper"?  ... I HEARD it ALL, but I'd only--OCCASIONALLY--glance-UP to WATCH SAID-film.
... WAS it 'cuz I'm 31 now, so I doN'T "PISS my pants" anymore ... on SUNDAYs?!
... WAS it 'cuz I'm "EMOTIONALLY-DEAD"?  ... NO WAY!  'Tis NOT that I LACK feelings!  ... I just STRUGGLE-to DISPLAY 'em!  They're THERE ... INSIDE!
... OR, WAS it 'cuz I've already-SEEN the AWARD-winning EXAMPLE of cinematic-ART?!
((... Ding, ding, DING!  I'm goin' with Choice D).))


-- "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." 
(--Elisabeth Kühler-Ross)

(... LIFE isN'T about "WAITING for 'the STORM to PASS'".
... It IS about ''LEARNING-to 'DANCE in the RAIN''.)


-- TODAY was a pretty-"DAMN-GOOD" DAY/EVENING/NIGHT!
(... ENCOURAGING "INDEPENDENT REHABILATORY-PROGRESS", QUALITY-ENTERTAINMENT throughOUT the DAY/EVENING/NIGHT, GOOD SPORTS-news, etc.)

... PREVIOUSLY, I had-NOT SEEN the CLASSIC COMEDIC-film--'Beverly Hills Cop'.  But, I THOROUGHLY-ENJOYED it!

.... PLUS, there was a GREAT "NEW ... Standup-SPECIAL!




KEY
* = "MORE ENERGY" + "Almost-ZERO HIP-pain" = YAY!
