... I've "GROWN"* accustomed-to the WIDELY-accepted LIFE-view that "'SHIT' happens." I ALWAYS TRY-to "SHRUG-it OFF" as just-ACCEPTABLE. ... Then, I TRY-to IMPROVE the/MY circumstances.
(... = "Trial & Error" ... & ADJUST)
(... = "Trial & Error" ... & ADJUST)
-- SAY what you MEAN, & MEAN what you SAY.
... "INTEGRITY" is PRESENT, when what you SAY & what you DO ... are the SAME-thing.
... I've always-been fairly-SUCCESSFUL at "TALKING-my way" OUT-of troubling-situations.
I.e. ~Ten-to-twelve years ago, I was driving home from a girlfriend's house, when the driver in-FRONT of me STOPPED ... SEMI-abruptly. I HAD-time to BRAKE and/or SWERVE, ... but I "rear-ended" the OTHER-driver. So, I was TOTALLY-/ COMPLETELY-/UNDENIABLY-"at FAULT".
... BUT! The OTHER-driver was a Hispanic-woman who spoke ZERO-English. ... The POLICEman spoke ZERO-Spanish. ... Sooo, I "cracked my knuckles" & "dove-IN" to "WORK":
... I served-as "MIDDLE-man" to TRANSLATE-FOR the cop TO the woman ... & VICE VERSA.
... LONG-story SHORT: ... The GRATEFUL-cop was 'MUY agradecidos por mi conocimiento del español' that he MERELY-/ONLY-issued ME a ... WARNING!
... UN-fortunately, people will "JUDGE-me" by my ACTIONS ... NOT by my INTENTIONS. ... Even-THOUGH I have a "HEART-of-GOLD", ... Then again, ... so does a HARD-BOILED EGG.
-- RATHER-than THINK that NEGATIVE-/PESSIMISTIC-people "drag ME DOWN", ... I PREFER-to "see it" as ... "MY POSITIVE-spirit 'lifts them UP".
... "'BEAUTY' is in the eye(S) of the BEHOLDER."
-- (AUDIBLE-sigh) RATHER-than REMAINING-UPSET that my "buzzer" was-NOT working, I JOKED-about it.
... At ~3:45 am ... EST, I HAD-to SCREAM to get my Caregiver's ATTENTION--which is ESPECIALLY-TOUGH/
-FRUSTRATING/-DISCOURAGING, 'cuz he SNORES SO LOUDly!
... So, I "WALKED"-to my toilet ... to "RELEASE my URINARY-tension". I OBVIOUSLY "HAD-to GO", 'cuz 'twas a POWERFUL "31-MISSISSIPI" urinary-SECRETION, ... followed-by a LOOONG-"SIGH of RELIEF".
... After "WALKING"-BACK to my bed, I complained that my BUZZER's batteries were "FAULTY". ... So, I PRESSED the buzzer three times to DEMONSTRATE ... & heard three "RRRRRRING"s (onomatopoeia). "A GOOD-workman dosN'T BLAME his TOOLS."
(AUDIBLE-sigh)
So, I VERBALLY-JOKED:
(I pointed at/to the buzzer.) "'Tis VERY-temperamental &
-FLAKY ... like a WOMAN."**
-- I REFUSE-to "give-UP" ... NO-matter WHAT!
(... --> THAT-/MY-attitude demonstrates COMMENDABLE-PERSISTENCE!)
-- I'm becoming more SELF-aware of the MOOD/AURA I'm PROJECTING.
... NEITHER my 'DynaVox'--WHICH WILL-be getting-REPLACED after ~SIX years, ... 'cuz it RANDOMLY just-BROKE ... NOT 'cuz it wasN'T charged--NOR my letter-board can VARY INFLECTION or TONE. So, I TRY-to TALK MORE, ... ESPECIALLY-when the TIMING is NECESSARY for/to the JOKE.
(... "COMEDIC-timing")
(... I.e. After my buzzer was-NOT working EARLY this morning, I FELT that the HUMOR of/in the situation would BEST-/ONLY-be PROPERLY-expressed VERBALLY. ... I was RIGHT.)
... "When you look ANNOYED ... ALL-the-time, ... people THINK you're BUSY."

-- A MIXTURE of MY LATE Friday-night, my "Martial Arts"-Professor's ABSENCE, my NOT-having my 'DynaVox' to COMMENT/SEMI-"teach" & an "ANNOYINGLY-'TOUCHY' & REALLY-OLD fellow-VIEWER" ... KINDA-"FORCED-me" to--UNFORTUNATELY--DEPART Karate-class somewhat-EARLY this morning.
By NO-means did one NEW-student's DELIBERATE-INSOLENCE toward the teacher's INSTRUCTION. I do-NOT "give-UP" that easily! (... I was just very, VERY, ... VERY-ANNOYED!)
-- CHEMISTRY-JOKE:
A scientist had a heart-attack, as he researched the "Periodic Table". ... He COLLAPSED in DEATH, as he looked-up Chemical #56, as if "telling people" HOW-to "prepare" him ... AFTER-death.
...
(... Chemical #56 --> "Barium")
-- WOWZA! I MUST REALLY-be TIRED!
I JUST-"fell ASLEEP" for a FEW MINUTES, ... after I watched the USWNST ("United States Women's National Soccer Team") BEAT "Republic of South Africa" '1-0'.
(... My housemate--to ME: "Dude, you JUST ... BLINKED!")... TONIGHT, I'm gonna TRY-to SLEEP ... EARLY!
