Vivace It

I took the day off, feeling my failure more than you can see it; I did drop everything but a few paragraphs in here to try to put what I was doing together as a good proactive health piece, though I did not harass medical providers by phone because I know how they are in urban environments, and trying to find a lay professional to do a phone interview in the time I had would have required more clout than I own, and that isn't just about my ringing ears and misquoting. I did contact lay providers, but even that was a difficult penetration.

It is not that I'm giving up, but that I could not deliver what the editor needed in time, and I used to be able to do it, and it could even make me more corrosive still, I suppose, what this company as landlord and city and Liberty Resources have taken out of me, and in this taking off a day, I stayed with the traditional broadcast of the poverty stricken, and watched some Cold Case episodes, and reflected on the Zeljko Ivanek guest star, "One Night" where he plays a teacher with MS who kills twice.

In rare cases, MS does progress rapidly and kills, but I do not believe this occurs with a nearly life long remission. More importantly, people with lifelong illness do not kill because of the condition itself. If they go crazy it is because they are trapped, or had a brutal life.

I have ranted about Josie Byzek on this account, a woman who is deteriorating from the same condition as Ivanek's plagued antagonist, and shall let you in on the fact that I never had any emotional investment in New Mobility's managing editor. I actually found any proximity to her unpleasant, and think she is basically a one track mind Christian who, like Andrew Sullivan, needs to twist doctrine to rationalize her deity with homosexuality, and thinks personal testimonial is the apex of disability culture.


I don't. It isn't valueless, but at the end of the day it possibly cheapens the fact that perhaps some of us still want to matriculate in real world terms. I am just angry about what she did to me online. Linda, at least when her last name was Richman, was another matter. I was invested, personally loyal, and did not enjoy being treated like a plaything; things like these make able-bodied people dangerous, of course, when work becomes the main value of self identification, but they can break the disabled more.

The rationale for Zeljko's character, however, is a crock. No one goes out and kills high school aged males due to being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Cold Case, even though the series never quite sold me, seems to imply that the scales of justice cannot always rectify, and in a situation where you have a terminal murderer, as in the "One Night" of 2006, maybe it can't. Zeljko's teacher was a shade too humane to make this particular story line work. It doesn't make any sense.
