Doggie Week: Doggie is Doggie Part II (Aug 17)
NOW THEN!
Now that I got my prejudice out of the system again, I'm going to talk about my week.
Already, I miss The Olympics.

Doggie is Doggie
Doggie has been wrong to herself; Doggie felt like she was less of a human being, or had a less developed brain (since I was born tiny and I had a terrible head injury when I was small). When I did an online IQ test (pfffff), I was angry; when I tried to answer a critical thinking problem and couldn't, I was angry. I dislike the words "disability" and "retarded". Do we all have something wrong with us?
Is being a jerkass a disability?
SO far, I complained about having "memory loss". When I read books, newspaper stories, or fancy (wordy and fancy!) cover letters from successful people, and can't emulate it, I felt like I couldn't succeed.
However, Doggie learned that there are many people out there like that, and that humans shouldn't be discriminated. Disability or not, any person will occasionally think as oneself as stupid. No one is immune to depression, nor becoming disabled in any area.
In the London Olympics, Oscar Pistorius of South Africa ran in various tracks. A double amputee all his life!
Also in the Olympics, Hoketsu Hiroshi, a 71 year old equestrian from Japan! I'm sad because I missed the equestrian events.
Indy car Racer Charles Kimball is a diabetic, interesting for a physical-straining sport.
I met a nice lady who survived cerebral aneurysm. So for years, she suffered from losing her nerves and had to relearn how to walk, speak, etc. Suffered changing from a self-serving person to a handicap who needed help and had to take a lot of medicine. She said she had to cope with it. Because she grew into it, it became her new normal and she was happy with the support. She learned to become happy and somehow, after all that crap, she returned to work and became a disability assistant. Some physicalities aren't, and she needs paper to help her remember better, but she is doing well. When you see her, you wouldn't think that anything was wrong.
That's just it. Many disabilities are invisible.
Doggie needs to be Doggie, right?
And Doggie needs to keep moving. I am a normal person! If not, I can be.
We all have strengths and weaknesses right?
Speaking of "wordy and fancy", that reminds me. Since I like to type and write, it's all that fanciness that I see that makes me discouraged in the first place. I spent maybe a year kicking myself about that, about bad grammar.
Which also reminds me of roleplaying games, and how I see people getting slammed for "bad roleplaying". Seeing it enough, and being a victim to it myself when I began, I grew to dislike it. I also thought for a long time that "fanciness, long text, and redundancy" was the key to getting better. Now it turns out that it doesn't. and now I feel like it's too late to change after a long time doing that.
The consequences of peoples' actions...
Being heavily criticizing and calling people stupid (or the like) -- I don't do it because I extremely disliked it. I didn't like being angry, using "bully techniques" to prove my station in a game.
I don't think I covered everything but this is fine so far.
I keep watching
It's a bad idea to watch Eureka Seven or Saint Seiya (the original) late at night, because I can't believe what's happening ^^;
Here's what I'm watching:
Inazuma Eleven
Eureka Seven
GARO
Gundam Series: AGE, Unicorn, Z (Zeta), MS IGLOO
Hakuouki
Seiya Series: OMEGA & Saint Seiya
SHURATO
Tekkaman Blade
Stop!! Hibari-kun
Inazuma Eleven is HAPPY; Saint Seiya OMEGA and Fourze gives you hope; Hibari-kun is hilarious; all the other shows are negative in some way.
GARO: Scary/mean. Girls get head-butted, people get cut to pieces and eaten, blood, etc. But it's cool.
Gundam = War drama! Just war drama! And AGE has anger/vengeance/naivety. Now I'm gonna watch MS IGLOO and Zeta. Great, I don't think Zeta is too happy from what I hear. At least it's not V Gundam.
Hakuouki = Ibuki's angst
Eureka = Absolute mind f**K. And I an't believe how confusing it can be. Maybe it's safe to assume that if I see a word that I don't get, it's extraterrestrial or futuristic.
Saint Seiya: While OMEGA is a little more on the light side, the original series is pretty mean (and manly!). A lot of gore too.
Hellsing: EVIL! ALL OVER THE PLACE (with some gag). It's vampires, of course! I love that comic and OVA though
Fourze: Happy! But can get a bit serious but enjoyable.
Tekkaman Blade: Not that happy. Mankind is dying; alien bugs; dead soldiers; destroyed cities; I hear it gets worst...
Shurato: Shurato is...a "Bros show".
