(Happy MEMORIAL Day!
... In HONOR-of our nation's "FALLEN"-warriors, TODAY I'll "PUSH-myself" even-FURTHER than I TRY during my EVERYDAY-"battleS".)
... In the LEGENDARY-film, 'The Big Lebowski', "The Dude"'s line, "The Dude abides," is a reference to Ecclesiastes 1:4, "One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth abides forever." It is a reference to how the Dude, much like the Earth, can weather change and chaos around him, but still remain the same.
(... HE ADAPTS, ... while MAINTAINING his AURA/PRESENCE of "CALM, COOL & COLLECTED".)
(... THAT seems EERILY-familiar to MY "outlook on LIFE".)
-- DESPITE MY intellectual-capacity/-potential/-cognizance PREVIOUSLY-being QUITE-"Brobdingnagian"*, I'm BEGINNING-to REALIZE & ACCEPT the FACT that my "Traumatic Brain-Injury" has so, so ... SSSOOOOO SIGNIFICANTLY-"DEMOLISHED"/DISINTEGRATED**
my ONCE-"MIGHTY" "Mental-Muscle", that I am NOW ... mentally/psychologically/cognitively ... merely a FRACTION-of "what I once-WAS".
(... Reminiscing, I impress even-MYSELF how EASILY I just-REMEMBERED/-REASONED/-KNEW stuff!)
((... E.g. HIGH-levels of MULTI-variable CALCULUS, RANDOM (MEANINGLESS) CINEMATIC- & TELEVISION-trivia, ~15.84+ YEARS of "Martial Arts"-APPLICATIONS***, (USELESS) SPORTS-statistics, HELPFUL BIOPHYSICAL-factoids ... & a SPLATTERING-of OTHER "what-nots".))

"If I Could Turn Back Time"
(by Cher)
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.
I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby
_______________________________________________If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.
I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby
[Chorus:]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and ooh...
[Chorus]
Ooohh
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
ooh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry
Ooohh
[Chorus #2]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then baby, maybe, maybe
You'd stay
[to fade]
Reach the stars
If I could reach the stars
... (MY-rendition, entitled,
'If I Had a RE-DO':
"If I had a RE-DO,
WHEN I can RE-grow NERVES, I'll use my LEGS A LOT, JUST
... To show that I--STILL--CAN!
I doN'T-know WHY this 'SHIT' happened-to ME.
My karma's GOOD. ... But, ''Cest la VIE.''
Life's 'FRUS-TRAY-TING', 'cuz I caN'T SAY-THOUGHTS.
MUST-prove--''Ak-shuhns' speak loudER than WORDS.''
LEGS couldN'T SAVE-me from that DEPLORABLE WRECK
That 'TOOK' my VOICE-BOX & WONDROUS-MIND!
[CHORUS:]
If I ... HAD a ... RE-DO
WHEN NEW-nerves 'DEH-VEH-LUP',
I'll WALK 'SLOOOH-LEEEE', & MIND my GAIT!
... I'll STAY-'UP',
... 'SIIIY-KO-LAH-JIH-KUH-LEE'!
I ALWAYS 'give my ALL'!
Sssoon I WILL-WALK, WILL-WALK,
... Like I USED-to DOOO!
IF I had a RE-DOOO!
