MY "LIFELONG-Commitment"

... 

-- "Something-OLD"

... I attended "Martial Arts"-class this MORNING ... to CONTINUE my 24+ year STUDY of VARIOUS-"systems"/styles.

-- "Something-NEW"

... INSTEAD-of attending JUST the KIDS' class--as I USUALLY-do, today I WATCHED the last ~THIRD of the KIDS' class AND the first ~THIRD of the ADULTS' class.
... My "Professor" was SUCH a BIG-FAN of some of my RECENT-techniques that he ASKED me to STAY & co-TEACH 'em!
... Professor even "SANG my PRAISES" about MY "battling-THROUGH & OVER adversity" to the CLASS.

-- "Something-BORROWED"

... I SEMI-/QUASI-used my 'SEMPAI''s LEGS to demonstrate MY technique.   

-- "Something-BLUE"

... A LONG-time 'Sensei' gave ME the nickname of "KC"--after 'KC & the Sunshine Band', after Professor mentioned my lil' "DANCE" I USED-to do, ... after I'd TEASE the OTHER 'Sensei's with my KICKASS-WRESTLING.  
I ACTUALLY-REMEMBERED the LIL' "dance" that "HIGHLIGHTS" one's lines of DEFENSE ... in WRESTLING/SELF-DEFENSE!
((... I.e. "HANDS, (I push my HANDS forward & SHAKE 'em.) HEAD, (I SHAKE my HEAD side-to-side.) HIPS!"  (I thrust my HIPS forward.))       
(... SAID-"Instructor" was likely-"BLUE", 'cuz 'twas LIKELY a SEMI-painful, JOKING-memory of MY-DOMINATION.)


...

END-of "WORK"-week --> START-of "FUN"-/"RELAX"-time

... 
-- (WARNING) Well, my digestive-system APPARENTLY-"got the MEMO" about "RELAXING", as I "UNLEASHED a BOWEL-BONANZA" this MORNING.  

... WHEW!  SAID-"excretion" was particularly-APPEALING/   -RELIEVING/-EXCITING, 'cuz I have a "dinner-MEETING" planned ... OUT with an old-friend.

... It was VERY-PLEASANT!


-- I had-to do a MATHEMATICAL-calculation ... SEMI-mentally ... for my BOOK.
(8 seconds --> 2/15 minutes --> 1/900 hours --> 1/21600 days --> 1/7884000 years + 8 Leap Years) 


-- 'Twas a "SOLID" SPEECH-Therapy-session ... & a SUPERB-workout at 'NeuroFit 360'!


...

WHY caN'T TODAY be a "THIRSTY THURSDAY" again?!

...   
-- Granted, I'm NOT-ALLOWED to imbibe-ALCOHOL.
(... In PHONETIC-Turkish, I say, 'FAR-keht-MEHS!'  -->  'It doesN'T matter!')
SSSHHH!

... Yesterday, my Evening-Nurse talked-of ANOTHER-patient of hers who recently had his G-tube ... REMOVED!

... Yes, ALL gastro-intestinal injuries are DIFFERENT.  ... But, JUST-the-FACT that it IS POSSIBLE is ENCOURAGING!


-- For the first-time EVER, ... I watched (ALOTTA) Wheelchair-BASKTBALL.  
... Team USA BEAT Team Brazil 75-38.
(... Those guys are way-MORE COORDINATED--NOT-necessarily "ATHLETIC", 'cuz I just-STRUGGLE-to fully-OPEN my FINGERS--than I--CURRENTLY--am.  ... But, they give mr HOPE!)
(... SPECIFICLLY, Matt Scott--of USA--is PHENOMENAL!
... 'Tis ALSO-encouraging that the announcers named Team TURKEY as a "DARK-HORSE"/"CINDERELLA" team that's "REALLY-been 'making-NOISE' as of late". 



...

Catchin' UP!

...

Theodore Herzl--to ME--about my RECOVERY:

"If you WILL it, Dude, ... it is NO-dream."

(--Walter Sobchak, 'The Big Lebowski')

-- In lieu of YESTEEDAY's "MEETING" ... in which my NeuralPsychoTherapist AND my mom kinda-"OPENED my eyes" to an OUTSIDER's likely-PERCEPTION of my actions, I'll REFLECT-upon the words of LEGENDARY-actor Anthony Hopkins:
... "It's NONE-of 'MY-business' what people SAY of me & THINK of me. ... I AM what I am, & I DO what I do. ... I EXPECT nothing & ACCEPT everything. ... And, it makes life SO-much easIER."
... I doN'T EXPECT people to be-NICE-to & UNDERSTANDING-of ME. ... I PREFER to be PLEASANTLY-surprised.

... Sooo, I watched a YouTube-video of Eddie Murphy on old-school 'S.NL.' ... of 'LOWERED Expectations'.
(... Ha ha HA! CLASSIC!)

--  I DID-enjoy my sister's AGAIN-helping in my SPEECH-Therapy.

... She sat--with her back-TURNED--to test the "COGENCY" of my LANGUAGE.


...

I REALLY-MISS "BOOZEday-TUESday"

... 
-- I had a PLEASANT SPEECH-Therapy session.


-- I had a very-NICE, EXTENDED, INFORMATIVE NeuralPsychoTherapy-session ... ACCOMPANIED-by my mom.

-- "Take it from a guy with 'MORE-than ENOUGH'.  
... It's NEVER-'ENOUGH'."
(--'NUMB3RS')


-- I wrote A LOT ... & REFLECTED-on my NUMEROUS RECENT- misjudgments.



...

"'It's JUST-another ... MANIC-MONDAY!"

... ALAS!  MY "WORK-Week" USUALLY-begins on MON-day.
(... But, "WORKING" would KINDA-"DEFEAT the PURPOSE" of TODAY's HOLIDAY.)

... (WARNING) Well, I BEGAN MY "'WORK'-Day HOLIDAY NICELY!  I "christened" my "lavatorial-DISPENSORY" with a SPLENDID "FECAL-submarine" ... at ~11:00 am.  

... As I've CORRECTLY-hypothesized: 
"If I can SMELL my 'Fecal-MASTERPIECE'--even FAINTLY, then 'tis at-LEAST SEMI-SOLID." 

... Well, I COULD ... & 'tWAS!

... TRUTHFULLY, I "went into-'LABOR' ... & 'gave-birth' to a BEAUTIFUL-chap ... named 'Brownie von Turdmiester II'".
(... He has his ''MOTHER''s eyes''.)


-- I thoroughly-ENJOYED my day-OFF.
(... ALOTTA emailing, ALOTTA movies/television, ALOTTA sports)
(... My only-REGRET is ... that I didN'T exercise ... as-MUCH as I COULD-/SHOULD-have!)


-- As I RE-watchd ''Wayne's World'' ... for the UMPTEENTH time--but NOT-in a WHILE, I kinda-REFLECTED on my SADNESS over/about my CURRENT NON-walking status:

"Am I supposed to be a MAN?!  Am I supposed to say, "It's OK, I don't mind, I don't mind"?  ... Well, I MIND!  I mind BIG-TIME!  ... And, you know what the worst part is?  ... I NEVER LEARNED TO READ!"
(--Wayne, ''Wayne's World'')


...

1, 2, 3 ... THREE Traits of MOST ... SUCCESSFUL-Entrepreneurs:

... (-- Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg)

-- So, I checked out my ex-housemate's NICE new apartment yesterday.  ... THAT led me to REFLECT: 

I THOUGHT it'd be GREAT livin' by-MYSELF, ya know, to REFLECT on my thoughts.

..

(AUDIBLE-sigh) It turns-out, ...

I doN'T really THINK that much.

1) SUCCESSFUL-Entrepreneurs HAVE a SPECIFIC-"VISION".
... I "SEE-myself" WALKING, TALKING & just-"SHOOTING the (proverbial) 'SHIT' ... in PHILLY.

2) They SURROUND-themselves with SUCCESSFUL & MOTIVATED/ING people.
... MY employEES are ALL rather-COMPLIMENTARY, TIME-efficient & RESPECTFUL.  ... HOWEVER, should he/she ROUTINELY "DISTURB" the "SOCIO-occupational-BALANCE", there'll BE a NECESSARY-meeting.

3) Their PERSISTENCE is COMMENDABLE.
... There's NO-such--thing as "OVERNIGHT-success".
... "'GOOD-work' takes 'TIME'" ... like ~8.35+ YEARS!

... "The ones who 'come-out on-TOP' are the ones who REFUSE-to give-UP."
(--Zuckerburg)
... (Computer-TECHNICAL voice:) "Where there is LIFE, .. there is HOPE."
(--Dr. Stephen Hawking, 'The Theory of Everything')

... Last time I CHECKED (I place my RIGHT index- & middle-fingers on my NECK-PULSE), ... YEP!  I'm ALIVE!


-- My buddy INVITED me to JOIN TWO of hid "Fantasy FOOTBALL"-Leagues!  ... I'm a "Fantasy-League 'VIRGIN'".  But, I've NEVER-been on to back-DOWN from a CHALLENGE.  ... So, why-NOT?!



-- CRUD!  I'm LATE for my 'Green Eggs & Ham'-DISCUSSION-group.  TONIGHT was ... 
"Why-NOT 'with a FOX'?"


...

Gotta "HOOT" and/or "HOLLA"!

... 


-- EVERY-SINGLE-DAY--sans April 8th--is MY "UN-birthday".

(... Ergo, I'm CONSTANTLY-CELEBRATING ... 

... 

"LIFE"!)

-- I had a very-PLEASANT brunch MINI-party at my EX-housemate's NEW apartment in Miami ... with my mom & HIS-family (my Caregiver, my mom, my ex-housemate & I .... + FIVE). 
'Tis a VERY-NICE dwelling ... in a VERY-NICE are.


-- I attended ANOTHER GREAT Housewarming-party at a friend's house!


....

WAY-to CLOSE-out the/MY "WORK-week"!

... 
(WARNING) So, I BEGAN my morning ... rather-LOUDLY & -ABRU[TLY at ~9:15 am with a medium-sized bowel-movement, ... 'twas my FIFTH at-LEAST "SENI-solid" bowel-movement in ... ~102 hours.   

... WEIRDO that I AM, I ALWAYS-RELISH the times I BEGIN my DAY with a "FECAL 'FUN-anza'"!

... It's ALMOST as-IF my INTERNAL DIGESTIVE-system KNOWS & UNDERSTANDS my schedule ... that I go to my buddy's house EARLY for brunch tomorrow.  So, my "FEEDING-schedule" will REQUIRE ... SEVERAL ... alterations. 
... Ah, well!  It'll be FUN!


-- 'Twas another PRODUCTIVE Speech-Therapy session.
... GREAT eating!
(... I AM, however, EAGER-to get this doctor's PRECAUTION of LIMITED-eating ... "LIFTED"/ENDED.) 


-- 'Twas a "SOLID"-workout at 'NeuroFit 360' with ALOTTA "WALKING" ... with ONLY a CANE in my RIGHT-hand ... & a trainer LIGHTLY-supporting my LEFT-arm!  

(... Even-MORE "WALKING" than USUAL!  ... NOICE!)
(... I REALLY-ENJOY "WALKING" with CANE, 'cuz it just-SEEMS-like the CLOSEST-semblance of/to REALITY!)


...

When LIFE's goin' SSSLLLOOOOOOOWWWWW,

...  I've GOTTA-amuse MYSELF!


--So, I awoke "a SMIDGEON-early", 'cuz I could FEEL "Nature's IMPENDING-'call'".
... Afterwards, I "RANG"-for a "TREK" to my toilet ... to STAND & urinate.  
... Upon my RETURN-"WALK", I decided-to get-INTO my CHAIR.  


-- 'Tis BETTER to WAIT-for the CORRECT-people, than to RUSH-in with the WRONG-representatives.
... Ergo, my meeting with my mom & school-officials WAS scheduled for TOMORROW.  But, the school's reps had something-ELSE come-up.  So, they HAFTA-reschedule ... with MY "POSSE".  


-- 'Twas yet-ANOTHER FANTASTIC "Martial Arts"-class!  ... And, I didN'T even TEACH!  ... I merely-COMMENTED a lot & planned my next CO-teaching CLASS ... for the ADULT-class NEXT-Saturday--the TENTH!


-- I CONFIRMED a get-TOGETHER with my mom, my ex-housemte & his family for THIS-Saturday BREAKFAST.
