Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

ALWAYS...

I must admit that I have reverted to living in the 21st century, as I type this. Although I re-discovered the joy of evenings involving the sounds of various albums, from my CD collection (still ever-growing),I had only coped for a few nights, before CDs started skipping. MP3s don't skip in the same way.
Current favourites...
The XX - Angels

Hmmm.......
I am also accompanied by notes for this post, made on my phone, not a notepad (as i had stated was better, in a previous post). This is just sooooo more practical.

Anyway, this is a relatively short post, but this perhaps, if anything, increases the importance of notes that i discuss.  
My first note is very old, but my thoughts remain. Printing in ink on paper is slightly confusing when it is considered on ethical, sustainable scale. OK, computers can identically replicate a previous print/copy, but we must remain aware that we are eating valuable energy using a computer, printer, printer power and ink.
I suppose I am proving the success of mass-scale printing, compared to that of energy/raw-source use in individual reproduction. As long as we remain aware of the various environmental issues involved. We must always realise how lucky we are to have these resources, and must keep them as sustainable as we can, for future generations.

The rain makes everyone grumpy. It slows people down, and everyone wears a grumpy/unhappy face. So I smile. The rain is only water (acidic or not). It makes me feel alive. Perhaps it makes me, in a wheelchair, on more of a level playing field. Water doesn't hurt and the chances are that it shouldn't be considered dangerous, why so grumpy?

- I maintain that in order to exist, everything, everything, EVERYTHING is equal. Therefore everything has a positive/negative balance somehow. Our task is to find and make  'a positive' be felt by ourselves, but we must realise that there is a negative side too.


Life could be better
Life could be worse
