My Testimonials

August 7, 2009
This woman boggles my mind. I thought I knew what the words "strength" & "inspiration" meant. (although I can imagine her rolling her eyes as she reads this!)

They were only mere words to me before I had the pleasure of meeting Crypto here on Tribe (I've yet to have the honor to meet her in person, but it's high on my list of goals).

I once made the mistake of taking her for granted, and my stupidity made me not see how very special she is. I'm glad we've gotten past that (although I still regret & cringe when I think about it sometimes!)

Don't make that same mistake. Because a person like Crypto is a very, very rare treasure. Only a fool would pass her up as a friend.

The Flipside. (blog entry) Yesterday someone told me "You're too young to be in a wheelchair. I think this is so sad." I offered up "It's better than the alternative, which was death." The third person in the elevator made agreement noises.

We are all only human, filled with spite and self-justification and blind spots. Gandhi didn't get on with his children and Martin Luther King, Jr., slept around.
In my continued reading about the Russian Revolution and Soviet Union, I know I will get round to Trotsky soon. I already know enough to say that he is no hero. He may have had fewer people killed than Lenin (although I don't know h... read more

Yesterday someone told me "You're too young to be in a wheelchair. I think this is so sad." I offered up "It's better than the alternative, which was death." The third person in the elevator made agreement noises.
"No, I'm sad for you. It's Christmas and you're in a chair and it's sad."
Luckily we got to the BART station about then and I was able to escape.
I don't want people to look at me and get sad.
It really is better than the alternative.
It makes me so fucking angry. I must have t... read more

His courage is perhaps the easiest attribute to illustrate. He had the courage to be a marine, to go to war. And he had the courage to face a decades-long painful decline, ending in his death last July. When you are in chronic pain, when your life is a constant experience of everyday having less power than the day before, self-pity and anger can become your entire character. jarjar didn't l... read more
