Im havin a little trouble realizing its the year 2011 now!Where did the years go?Im thinking about getting the eye fi memory card for my camera!I should be out there taking shots :)!I dont have hics on Thursday so I think I should plan on either getting an eyefi card or just start snapping!

This is the 2nd time Ive got up tonight and my balance is way off!Ive got the "y" tomorrow,I hope its better b4 my pickup which is 12.15 I think.

Ive had so much fun reading all the great comments on my vid!Ive even had my bestest friend repost it on her page!The comment she put on it really means a ton too!She was there at the start for me,Im not sure if she came to visit while I was comatose but I do know she came all the way from Scituate to N.Andover to see me in the hospital!I love you Jan!

Ive taken the advise of many of my friends about taking a day off! I'm not going to church,I even slept to 9! That's late 4 me!I think I'm gonna take a scoot to walgreens,I forgot bread yesterday,I'll get that and if I think of anything else too but,besides booking my rides,Im off today :)!

CmD was here,we did all our normal stuff then we talked about me getting the moped scooter.I do gutta find out if I have to register it with the Mass rmv,think about parking,storing,operating it safely!He did understand my need to be free and the freedom a moped scooter would bring me!I believe I can operate it safely,its bacically what I have now except Ill be able to go further and a little faster!Ive got to look into getting a ul approved helmat too then!Im just gutta wait till Cory gets me settled with my back taxes!

Today cmD is making a home visit at 9 am then Im gonna go to hics (rec) tonight is kerioakie night!Im kinda excited to do those songs by stained and nickelback!Ill bring my cam and try to make a video of me kinda making or acting foolish!Ive figured out how I can download the vid from my camera and FIND it on my puter!I just have to use my netbook or my laptop!By Friday Ill have it all figured out!

I'm getting real good on my scooter,time to upgrade to the moped scooter I posted earlier!Cory has gutta get my back taxes settled first then I can buy a moped scooter!Its either that or get my motorcycle learners permit and get back on two wheels,cause you dint need a licence to operate a motorcycle! I'm always thinking of moving forward any way I CAN!

Today my son is 26 yrs young!It seems like only yesterday Nise and I where about to have the happiest moment of our lives :)!

With the passing of Wayne,I wonder why I'm still here!In 1980 I broke my neck,2 nd cervical vertebrate,all I had to do is sneeze and I would have passed or be a quad!I was in a coma for 3.5 months from a traumatic brain injury!Ive had a malignant growth on my prostrate (cancer)!I guess the old three strikes and your out doesn't apply here!My mind just keeps on asking why!Believe me I'm not complaining one bit!I'm just a little confused but,I guess that normal,for me!

Hics was great today! CmK is so kewl ,I mailed her asking if the cd pack I got for kerioakie nights at hics had a song on them,I forgot the name of the song, monetarily ,she said she could find out by checking her mail again but,she knows me now,I wanted to work my memory and remember the song!I was able to remember it was "how you remind me" by nickelback !I could have logged on to party tyme .com to find out too!I may have to anyway cause Im thinkin of more I want to know if are there!

I had a great workout this early afternoon at the "y"!I didnt loose my grip with my right hand on the rowing machine,that makes three times in a row Ive been able to focus on what I need to!The "y" is not only helping me get stronger its helping me relearn how to focus well!

That's great cause I can get all the stuff I need then check out at the pharmacy,no lines no waiting :)!I couldn't find rubbing alcohol ,asked her,she got it for me :)!

Its really amazing the thoughts that cross my mind from time to time being tbi !Its me thinking of all the people I knew before and after my coma!I have the greatest respect for those that have stayed by my side through my progression and Ive lost respect for those that said they would and don't !I can like or dislike someone without having respect for them!For all that have stuck by me I say thank-you,for those that haven't ,YOUR loss!

Tomorow Ive got trips booked to and from stop and shop in Braintree to do my weeks worth of food and household items!I have a list but,Ive gutta get rubbing alcohole!I use that for any topical sorces that appear,cuts and abrasions,nasty zits,you could also use this to remove any unwanted stains in and on your car!

I had a great workout at the ymca today!I was able to do the rowing machine without loosing my grip with my right hand!Thats two workouts in a row my right hand I was able to controle my grip,that makes me very happy!All this work is helping me to progess :)!

CmD was here and we looked into another recreation program in Brockton Mass,the next town over but,transportation is a big problem!"the ride" doesn't service Brockton !They do have something similar to it but,they don't service Holbrook !I could take the bus but,its kinda complicated but,an option.I donno I kinda like my time in my OWN castle too thou! I took a scoot to the office to see if they had automatic withdrawal for rent!I thought I had already set it up but,I had to set it up with the lady working there today, that's done!Now my rent will be paid on the 2 nd of every month without me doing anything but,I just gutta make sure the money is there :)!

Im not working making in excess of 150,000 but, I'm living on my own again,I do okay with ssdi ,I d0nt have a significant other YET :)! I'm still a happy guy!
