Howdy all!!

I'm back!! My last post, like two days ago, I gave everyone an easy exercise you can try to see if you have what it takes to be blind and self-supportive in today's world. How did everyone do?? Probably about as well as I did the first time I attempted it. Ha, ha.  It is not easy living in a world where everything is "visual". Commercials, television shows, magazines, everywhere you go, everything is visual.  It needs to come to a point where things are based upon the rest of our senses.  Hearing, touch, taste, smell, even the ones we haven't fully understood yet, you know the ones I am talking about.

Since I lost my vision, so many other senses have come to life. I sense things in ways I did not imagine. I could not have imagined since sight is so easy to use. I think that falls under the category of laziness. We get lazy because sight is so "reliable". Is it? When you go blind, you quickly realize that many things you thought were easy to understand with sight are simply not that easy. Distance, for example. How far away is an object? When you are blind, you either rely on your cane to tell you that, if it picks it up in your "sweep", or, you take your time and try to get a "feel" of your surroundings in other ways. Sound is the most used by me. I listen to objects that make noise and base my judgement of distance for other objects by the reverberation of that noise. Crazy, huh??

Any way, enough lesson for one day. Check back tomorrow, I hope to have more on what is takes to "see blind".

By the way, the Holidays are upon us. If you are looking for extra cash, check this out. It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to follow, and can be entertaining and fun, while putting extra cash in your pocket.  http://www.clixsense.com/?r=7836257&s=101

Try it, its free!!

It's been a while since I posted anything, so I  thought I would say me two cents. I have been trying to figure out why, in this so-called "technological society" of ours, why so much is available as far as gadgets go, why is there so little available for the handicapped, disabled, and elderly.  There should not be any reason for any individual to have to suffer simply because he or she can't get to the store of their own accord. It's that way in my case, though. I have turned my niche towards gaming. Maybe, If I get enough pc gamers together, they can come up with a gadget to assist a blind man with the ability to go to the store on their own. The best thing on the market for a blind person with navigational issues is a cane with the ability to vibrate to tell you which direction you are going. Ha! It's not funny, though. People with handicaps and disabilities could do so much more on their own if others actually cared about the people, not the profits. ...

How do you do that?

I said yesterday I would make it a point to start staying on top of this. My topic today is, everyone is always asking me, "How do you do that?" This is in reference to how I do some of the things I do while I'm blind. I do it the same way anyone else does it. So I can't see. It's really common sense.  The only thing I have noticed since losing my vision is that you have to think of every action before you do anything. I don't understand people's philosophy these days. I agree, losing your sight is a horrible event. It doesn't mean life has to be over. For me it is far from over. Here is my dream. One day, no person will lose their life due to tornadoes, high winds, flood, forest fire, or any thing Mother Nature throws out there. If human kind would ever focus their attention on what is really important rather than gadgets,toys, get rich quick schemes, etc;, we could accomplish anything. I beleive if we focus our attention on that, we could come up w...

Common sense approach to online marketing.

Hello friends. Okay, yesterday I let the "cat out of the bag". I am trying to educate myself about online marketing. It is a very slow go. I already know why, though, do you? Which do you think would be more sensible; a company of people all doing their own individual things to accomplish one common goal, or, a company of people all working hand in hand to accomplish one common goal? Give up? I think you all know the answer to that one. Every ad I receive is the same ad just a different sender. What in the world are you all thinking? Do you honestly think that any of us can be successful this way? If you think this, you are only making a fool of yourself. Now, if one thousand of these ten thousand individuals teamed up and started working the same field for the same goal, are you getting the picture now? How do you think the ones who are successful have gotten to be that way? They did not go it alone. Just because you are not the one in front doesn't mean you can'...
