Service Coordination, Inc. Conferences

I forget the last time I so much promotion. If public speaking was NASCAR I wonder what company would advertise on me, Josh Blue, John W. Quinn, and Handicap This. Maybe I could get an art company and I think we could figure what Josh Blue would Advertise.

Some Thoughts 2012

"Banning Tom Kiefaber for his post and locking James RVincent O Neal " This is totally FUCKING BULL SHIT!!!! Nobody should be banned from FaceBook unless he is doing harm to someone, how can he be banned for expressing his ideas and feelings. If this is the case I might be the next to be banned, because I make a lot noise on here myself. If you do like someone's post, just don't read it!! Better yet block from your feed, I believe in self censorship!!!
I do not know all of the details that went on between Tom Kiefaber and Baltimore City.  I do know at the end the actions of the City were disgusting and shameful.  They just ripped the soul out of Tom and the Senator, so I cannot and will not go back to building!

If you think about snow is the closest thing to simulating a disability, because anybody can end up on their ass. This might be sadistic, when we would go to school late due to ice. On the bus I would laugh at people as they fall walked to their cars and bus stops.

Dan 1 : Zarah 1
Zarah and I were upstairs looking out the window into space and she must had heard Brooke moving around in her room. So Zarah barked and my hand flew up popping myself in the lip.  I gave myself a nice little bloody fat lip!!

Damn C.P. grip, Zarah was giving me some love on my hands. She happened to be licking the wrong hand when it decided to close around her tongue, talk about a high pitch yelp.  She walked away not to look at me, but we are over it now.

RT @EasyStand: Choosing good (and bad) PCAs @TiffCarlson. I always thought that disable people need to develop a sixth sense when it comes to trusting people, especially when it comes to PCAs. They are trusted with every aspect of one's life from banking to being intimate. In my case this skill was developed at an early age and has fine tuned. Maybe that is why I can paint portraits so well, but I tell when other gimps do not have this skill to read people. I really get scared for them, because the wrong PCA could really take advanage of this.

RT @DisInsight: Disability Insight: Caregiver "Scholarship". I think this is a good idea. Instead of it being for a spouse to go re-charge in a hotel, the "Scholarship" would be better for parents of a disabled child and a sitter the child. I do not think Wifey would want to go relax at an hotel and leave me at home.  We would rather be romantic at the hotel, that type of a recharge every couple needs.

Survey Says!!!
I am sure that I'm amongst the money who got a notice that I got a "raise" in my SSI. Happy, happy, happy, that was short lived.  Wifey and I went to the market and realized why I got an increased.  The food prices also went up, I recog that is why it is call a living wage adjustment!!!

The new laundry detergent pods are great for the disabled. I wonder how much of a CP grip it would take to pop one of the pods. CP grip: when one cannot let go of an item and the more we try to let go, the tighter the grip gets.

When things/places are not accessible, I end up braking shit!!! :(:):(:)!!!!! Just ask Jennifer Toroni-Rodgers and Dale, I knock their clock of the wall a crack it.  They made it into a positive by putting a note the King was here.

So we have mice problem and we but out those sticky traps since we are dirty hippies. This morning I am in the bathroom disrobing and my toe get caught in the trap, it was really like the cartoon.  I shook my foot, it got stuck on top of foot. I tried to kick it off with my other foot, the trap went to that foot. I finally use the toilet to pull it off. When Wifey came up the trap was stuck to the toilet and I had all over my feet.  Wifey had to clean my feet with nail polish remover.

Wow, 1st time for everything! A gimp get called on the Price is Right and he got on stage via ramp. Though the ushers kept trying to push him, when he could push his self. If you find your self in this situation, it never hurts to ask.

Wifey think @JoshBlueComedy walks and I crawl like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Next time Josh and I get together, we might need to make a video of that.

I New It Was European

I saw this trailer on TV and it did not have any talking, I was thinking wow Wifey and I need to go see this. Even thou our lives are in the mist of chaos, it would be a nice escape for a couple hours.

I kept thinking about the movie and realized it had to be European. It seems to progressive to come out in the mainstream movie releases.  In addition, the Oscar race is still several months away.

I was hoping it was American made, I do not mean to be cocky maybe my documentary hit a cord with some filmmakers. In that they broke through the well, see Josh this why we need to start a CP compound. 

Then I looked up The Intouchables and my thoughts were proven right.
