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 :)

easy laziness


We have less and less need to use our brains, to problem-solve. Now we just search on EBay or Amazon, immediately. Ordering the answer, on our mobile phones! Humans are becoming more and more lazy (and yes, greedy as a result)!


Resolution


Fruity juices will no longer be bought by myself, in plastic bottles.
I consider myself, when i review my basket midway through my weekly shopping at different supermarkets. Towards the end of my shop, I reach fresh ‘fruit and vegetables’’. Such positive thoughts towards such heathy foods are trapped beneath cellophane bags, plastic boxes and polystyrene packaging!
WHATTTT!!?…
Please stop and think about what you are choosing to increase demand in.

Surbiton is dominated by two large ‘high-street supermarkets’, both whom offer very similar deals. A close guess, 90% of ANYONE’S shopping basket contains food/products which are packaged in non-biodegradable plastics. I find this negligence from EVERYONE, to be obscene. Yes we all allow ourselves to pick the easiest option. Humans are becoming lazy, greedy and harmful, but we don’t care because it is just too easy!

Everyone thinks that ‘plastics ARE recycled, it is ok’…. WRONG, many plastics are shipped overseas, then dumped. Plastics are non-biodegradable. Plastics are entirely man-made, intended to last forever. Only nature can fully degrade itself. A plastic can be recycled, used  in another application, but the material will last forever. It doesn’t matter if we ship waste abroad, every country lives in ONE WORLD. 
The first of many shops of similar, ethical stances, that i hope to find…

Thom Yorke - Bloom (live from Electric Lady Studios)
  • An amazing alternate, solo, live version of Radiohead’s opening track on ‘The King of Limbs’ album. As Radiohead, drummer Phil Selway provides a super rhythmic beat along to the original, however Thom Yorke introduces a piano arpeggio to provide the rhythm to this version, with stunning effect.



I have to constantly remind myself how lucky I am. This necessity is, in itself, a positive, as I can recognise how used to the ‘real world’ I am becoming!

I am just another human being, but I have no choice, in that I will forever be viewed by everyone, as an ‘outsider’ (or, ‘different’). Ever since I moved to live independently I have recognised this. Throughout rehabilitation-living, I feared it, but disregarded it as a forethought. But now I know. I love talking to good, deep people, I know that mental connections can be made. 
So many people who see the wheelchair before me, miss out! Yes, most people do. People who give more, receive more. Respect.

Oh man!!!!!
I am trying so hard to bite my lip!
I am sat in  a Kingston DeliCafe behind two squawking women discussing Brexit, and their opinions on ‘all those flipping Remainers’!

... I successfully remained silent!
I am proud in that I can control myself in situations I previously would have intervened (always polite)!
