I Define My World

I'm not one to really do this sort of thing a man my age tends to to express their own feelings but respond to things I find odd for me at least.

Maybe it amounts to my road to becomming disabled. For me it has been more of a life path with events that have now left me 1/2 deaf, spinal cord injuried with my final undoing with spinal stenosis. Now I am told over the last event it is a matter of maintaining my quality of life. OK what ever I can say I get to go to the grave slidding in side ways and look back and say it was a heck of a ride. I fefine my life and it;s quality.

My chances of finding another person with the same events or even a birth defect are nill to none only others disabled might relate and relating is the common ground stuff I know how to deal with what is common not my problems but a common thread among what ever it may be. But the other person like me with this or that for me excludes me from so much more

I've taken a few hits in live chat been called race based term I cannot even type condidering the day and time I grew up in. As a man somtimes people will cross a line you never want to deal with them again heck it is not the forst time I was in live chat or had a raceist not spout their vile terms under the term of a disablity was a new catch on the same hate I seen since the 50's. Why it is even a debate I'm not sure thought we a humans got way beyond that I suppose not.

Maybe I am of the mind I find a fault with compliance with the ADA I document it point it out with the right people and correct it other then direct in your face confronting. Those arethings called options and I will have and do take stuff too the next level but one cannot and should not mount a 1960's type protest in the post 9/11 world where police authority seem to discount any with disabilites.

So yes I am doing what old men do ramble I learned it from the experts my elders. So I suppose it is more of I define my life on what I have in common with any people rather then seek out someone like me because well I am boring and what fun is there in that? Life for me is an adventure not a problem to solve along the way I may show people where some stuff might be in error.
