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 :)

'Alternative'

 I always did consider myself as ‘alternative’ (or slightly different)

Why could I recognise other important issues,  compared with everyone else?

Were they important, or was I fooling myself?

Art-rock experimentalists!!

Drahler - Second Rhythm



I purchased this very recently so am not qualified to pass opinion on it too much!

I urge you to withstand the jazz cacophony that the album opens with!

They are a band that are new to me, but have been around, releasing their first album 5 years ago. 

Alternative!

I hate to shatter dreams, but SPORT IS BROKEN. Truthfully, only ‘professional sport’, but then every amateur uses the professional level as a target to aim for. Worshippers copy. 

Problem.

Corruption is possible, everywhere. I admit to being a fan  of professional cycling, therefore I have had my eyes opened since the 1990s. We must be aware, in Britain, as more money is poured into sport, and, primarily football. Athletes are asked to perform more and more at often inhumane levels, all for TV and sponsorship money. Professional sport is a business, less and less a sport.  I warn you, open your eyes, do not be so hurt when truths are exposed. They always exist , even when hidden! 


I am sat in a coffee shop having lunch, next to a group of young students discussing their stress, their problems, their future plans. I remember being similar. I’m so grateful that I have lived that life. I thank my lucky stars that I did not know how my life would end up! I turn forty years old this year! I am just still young enough to claim that it was under half of my life ago, my accident! Under twenty years of disability!




As I sat outside The French Tarte, finishing ‘Hello World by Hannah Fry’, I had the space and time to think deeply. I loved this book, but I was creating a few conclusions, of my own!…

Artificial Intelligence is extremely alarming, 

but

Relax, safe in the knowledge that everything, everyone is unique, and always will be. As long as we exist in space and time, two constantly changing dimensions, ‘copies’ may become very close, but 100% identical clones, are impossible. Nothing could ever copy our reaction when we review ourselves.  As long as humans have free will, identical cloning is an impossibility.
