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 :)

everything is...

Hello,
I hope you have all had a merry Christmas. The calendar means that this is the last post of 2014! You will know that this blog had it's fourth birthday on last weekend. The total page view count had reached ...
23,454
...by midnight on its Birthday.

I admit that I did consider missing today's post. However, fear not, notes have been made this week, so post must be made!
Christmas rest?
Ain't no rest for the wicked! :)

First note can be skimmed over, or reread and reconsidered by yourselves. I can get confused by this. 

Everything...
For example, we view black text on white background. What we actually is the difference between the two colours/shapes.
Contrast is everything
But the contrast is actually nothing, it is the gap in between.
Therefore I conclude that
...Everything is nothing.

Don't worry, I don't delve too deep!

Christmas. A great time of celebration, and fortunately I realise that a lot of people can often be found having too much alcohol!
I apply this as an excuse for a man that I came across in a restaurant last week. I think that he was stone-cold sober. This possibility scares me, so it is better to disregard him as 'drunk'.
I was leaving, when he crossed my path, leant over his wonky glasses, and laughed at himself, when asking me...pointing at my wheelchair...
'Where's your tinsel?'
His snigger to himself, offended me outrageously, immediately, but then I became very proud of my ability to ignore. I am not going to pay the 'man' any respect, so I talk about this, no more.

My saviours at BBC6Music, provided me with an early Christmas present, this year. Steve Lamacq interviewed all-time legend Noel Gallagher. The brilliant interview can be found in the middle hour of Lamacq's 3hr show, found using the BBC iPlayer...

A superb interview, lets Gallagher voice his straight-talking opinions on the current state of the music industry. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he is questioned over his views of a hypothetical Oasis reform, and also expresses his feelings about the fact that you can be found...
‘buying music in the taxi’!
Sad but true!

Spaced
Christmas TV is always fairly interesting to see what can be found. At home, with my family, we flicked through channels, and stumbled across one of my favourite ever programmes, Spaced. I have always found Simon Pegg and Nick Frost funny, but it startled me as I found myself laughing out loud, uncontrollably, at this program which I originally viewed half of my life ago! The old ones are the best! :)
