New Single

Don't forget to hear my cat's new single, about how she loves to look outside, but she belongs indoors (every time she escapes outside she gets terribly afraid, and she retreats back inside),  entitled "Little Koobly's Plight".

My Brain and Epistemology

I injured several body parts in my accident, but I, still, have my sense of self.  As long as I live, I will, always, have my sense of self.  My sense of self keeps me going to therapy, twice a week, without complaining, because I want to feel healthy.  My voice may change, but I won't.

Why Can't Agnostics / Atheists Criticize Religion?

I decided to start writing on my blog, again, because I wanted to criticize a religious person on Facebook, and my mom implored me not to post such a thing a Facebook, because of the high exposure.  My mother follows Catholicism, and I have no problem with Catholics.  I just have a problem with religious people marginalizing my (completely logical) anti-religious viewpoints.

My Secret

When a person sees me scarfing down on food, he or she asks me to share "my secret" for maintaining my slender physique.  My secret: I work really hard in therapy 6 times a week, to recover from this awful accident.  I think my extremely hard work in therapy keeps me fit.  A person thinks he or she can magically lose calories by sitting on his or her ass.

Working Memory

I have a diagnosis of short-term memory loss, among several other things, from my snowboarding accident.  Supposedly, my cognition didn't get affected.  Didn't it, though?  Doesn't all cognition rely on the recollection of events that just happened?  I would contend that my accident affected my cognition a little bit.  I no longer have the intelligence of a genius, like I used to have, but I only have the cognition of a really smart person.  Doesn't an IQ of 197 make a person a genius?

Distinguish

My accident has taught me to distinguish the difference between when you can't do something, or just have an extremely hard time accomplishing something.  I injured the right hemisphere of my brain, so I have a very long and difficult time accomplishing things with my left appendages, but I still have the ability to accomplish things with my left limbs.  I used to say I couldn't do something with my left appendages.  Relative to my healthy body, I just have an extremely difficult time accomplishing tasks with my left limbs.

Righty Loosy, Lefty Tighty

Tense

I don't want a person to refer to me as handicapped when he or she refers to me in the future.  I have very aggressive goals, and I expect to walk, alone, in the near future.  It kind of defines me as handicapped when one assumes that I will need this wheelchair in the future.  I don't think of myself as handicapped.  I think of myself as handicapable.

Brain

The fact that I can muscle through a snowboarding  accident proves that I live positively.  I have made this post as an amendment to my earlier post about positivity and negativity.
