Musical Influence Of Attitude
Under pressure – that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets Seems like the world has us all under pressure and Queen captured that in their song Under Pressure. We need to dig ourselves from under this pressure. Find a way to lighten our mood and our spirits. Let’s turn our attention to music. Let’s play this backwards and see if it gets any better!

What’s it like to be a geek, nerd, well, any walk of life in High School? Nay, what’s it like to be different? What is it like to walk in someone else’s shoes?
Glee, a fictional TV show (just wanted to put that out there first), is a show that explores many different things that teens go through during high school. Not everyone goes through all of it the same way or to the same degrees....

I went bowling this weekend with a friend and it brought back a story I did several years ago for the Green Bay Press-Gazette. I thought I’d dust it off and share it with you all. It’s a perfect example of team work.
The ball rolled down the lane sliding to one side then curving to the center just before it found the head pin. STRIKE! That was my first strike of the day. It only took two games...

What do you get the world’s greatest mom? What do you do when you’re only in middle school and have a physical disability to make the perfect gift for the world’s greatest mom? What do you do with power tools?
Shop class was one of those classes which any boy looks forward to (and some girls). Time to finally get the chance to play with the big boy toys. Power tools cause that Tim Taylor...

Walking into the room, fifty eyes were staring at me. The teacher told me to take a seat as she resumed taking roll call. All summer I had waited for this day, but when it finally arrived, I was scared to death. After my first four years of schooling in a special school, I was being mainstreamed into a regular school setting. I don’t know who was scared more, me being the only kid with a visible...

What do you get when you take a dream, add in a pinch of creative willpower, and a dash of financial support? A place designed and run for everyone. Morgan’s Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas, is the world’s first ultra accessible family fun park.
I love their vision for this new park. “Our vision at Morgan’s Wonderland is to establish a special place where smiles and laughter...

Better start putting more handicap parking spaces, more spots in movie theatres for people with disabilities, more ramps instead of stairs, and well, just more. The disability population is growing. Not only from more accidents due to inattentive driving (texting or talking on a cell phone), but from lack of self-worth. Welcome in the “I don’t care” generations.

What would you say if someone said, “Because of your sin, you have this disability.” I read a twitter message about this over the weekend and it shocked me that someone would say such a thing to another person.
According to this person, who was making a judgment and casting the first stone, those who sin are disabled. If that’s the case, then why is only 1/4th of the population of the...

It’s that time of year again. Well, depending what date it is on the calendar this year. It’s the ever floating holiday. What’s worse is everything that goes into this holiday.
First, they load up a whole bunch of hens with extra stuff to help them lay more eggs. Then a special group of hens get a special ingredient. It’s something you won’t find on the traditional store...

What is it like to have a disability? This is a hard question for me to answer. I’ve had my disability, Arthrogryposis (Ar-thro-gry-posis) since birth, so I have no way of knowing what it’s like not to have a disability. The physical challenges I face every day, like trying to put on my shoes, can be compared with trying to pass a final exam in Human Anatomy. Either you know the right answers...
