Welcome to my blog. I post on this, roughly once a week (it does vary). 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 :)

Play on...


Hello, an unusual 'mid-week post', as I want to tell you my woes of yesterday, and share with you a magical discovery. 
I planned to CD shop yesterday, to buy the new Stereophonics album on day of release. I am a fan, and  fear not, I comply with my new years resolution, as the band is a former favourite from many a year ago! Hehe. I bought it, and also wanted a Norah Jones CD, although not knowing which.
Shock, Horror! There were not any in stock, or available to order! She is not some new, obscure, unknown, I was given no choice but to download an MP3 (breaking the resolution of mp3s of new artists, cds of old).
Atleast I got the chance to return home and research, which album I wanted. Did so, but I resisted downloading from ITunes or Amazon as they virtually run the whole industry in a duopoly (not good).

I discovered a different route of downloading mp3s. OK, you have to pay a minimum of £10, up front. However, In doing such, one can download mp3 at  10p per track. I ended up buying two Norah Jones albums, for about £3.50!

Obviously, my suspicion arose, but legality is assured in a whole section of the website.

Anyway, please follow the links
