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 :)

Turn up the Sun...

Mid-winter is behind us, so
Turn up the sun...



Happy 2013!!!
It's 'gonna be a good year! I just have that feeling, so make sure that you too are enjoying it.

I type the year's first post in the late afternoon, am currently avoiding my caffeine hydration as I have just enjoyed time at one of 'my local cafe's, and i may as usual opt for an evening coffee.

Although we are accompanied by an Oasis live performance (above), I am currently listening to some 'House beats' (4x4) from my iPod. I forced myself to make the new years resolution, and to 'positively accept mp3s'. I know that I may sound a bit old and pathetic, but as room on my CD shelf has run out, new music shall be downloaded in mp3 format. I have plenty of space still on iPod/Hard-drive. This resolution should also have a relatively positive effect on my bank balance (we will see).

Right, erm, 'coffee', 'music', next topic, 'smiling'. It is the time of year that brings with it, as usual, occasional miserable weather. The other day I realised that fortunately I do not need to rely on the sun, to be smiling. OK, it was raining and i saw that everyone, EVERYONE else was grimacing, looking severely pained, by a bit of water hitting them on the head. This made me smile. I quickly realised that I am English, and am quite used to a bit of water in the sky. I think I have written before, that by turning it positive, rain helps make me feel alive! Not cared for in a hospital or constrained to the shelter of a rehabilitation home, but alive in normal life existence. Meanwhile I am getting drenched! But water dries!

Everything is just a contrast. 
There is an opposite to everything, so when we break everything down to it's atomic scale, there is a possibility for the atoms to be arranged, alternately, resulting in something very different.
Every colour has it's contrast. It is only in finding this contrast do we find the second colour. There is nothing which hurts the eye more, than two colours that are very almost the same, but different. It is often better to opt for two very contrasting colours. Opposites attract. One colour without its opposite, is nothing. So, we realise that essentially, what we are missing  (the contrast), is the something we are after. 

Hehehe, ok, confused? I'm sorry. I speak sense (honest)!

We are only humans and therefore are limited (compared to our mind's possibilities)! We must just let fate happen, we cannot force or accurately direct it.

Oh crikey! I have just reread the past two sections. I realise that many of you will wonder what on earth i have taken making me type this deeeeeep mental thoughts. I answer by saying 'nothing', but 'i have no coffee'. Hmmm, maybe the coffee usually calms me down? Who knows.

OK, I am happy, as, this afternoon I collected my 'sample editions of Colours of the Peloton', from the printers, giving one to my favourite cafe. Below depicts the last page of the 'sample edition'.

Originally designed as a coffee-table book in 2006, it can be finally now sampled in its proper environment.
