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 :)

I only smoke...

I am always excited when Alejandro Valverde attacks, usually meaning victory! Victor of the 'Queen of the Classics' (Liege-Bastogne-Liege) in 2007,  amongst countless other races. I watched with much anticipation as he attacked Vincenzo Nibali, in the current Giro D'Italia, on the famous 'Strada Bianche'. A screenshot was snapped.

Today's stage, my favourite rider, Moreno Moser.




I am smiling but I am lying. 
A smile hides things. It can easily, completely mask negative feelings.
I made the above note whilst my feeling of anguish, embroiled me earlier this week. As it is fairly self-explanatory, I don't want to delve back, explaining. I smile to be polite, but do I actually feel so positive all of the time?

Lower than average page views, this past week, ensure that I reflect upon last week's post. I apologise if you all viewed it as too negative. However I stand behind it with pride. I am just being honest. I keep true to the rules of this blog.

Rubbish joke fails me!
Hehehe. It is lucky that I don't believe in 'Internet dating', because I am rubbish at it! People need to see my face to understand that I tell pathetic jokes. This girl declined me, because she thought that I smoked. My profile statement explained that 
'I only smoke when I am on fire!' I then apologise in the statement for the poor joke, and arguing that 'the old ones are the best'! 
To misunderstand, such a shame, but maybe that is a warning sign for me!

Laissez faire
Very much my attitude towards most things, for the past ten years (since my accident). All of us must accept that 'what will be, will be' .
For much of the first two-thirds of my life, I had been taught how to design and plan things. This is very true, good and important, but living with this 'new attitude'  is so much more fun, true, and effective. Just live life and enjoy it. You cannot design life.

The Kills new album out June 3rd.
