Wish me a Luck!!


I decided to be lazy today. I suppose I need to get most of my chores done; though, I don't feel like doing them. I have a mountainous pile of dirty laundry waiting for me to wash them. Brandon's toys are all over in the livingroom, family room, and even on the stairs! The kitchen floor doesn't look shiny anymore so I needed to wash, clean, and wax it. Geez! I still haven't started cleaning up our three bathrooms...They're screaming: germs are swarming here...you need to get rid of them! Our bedrooms are getting too messy because of all the stuff around... unmade beds with blankets on the top. Our dogs and cat enjoy nests on their own when we're not sleeping in. All of my family's dirty clothes are left on the floor, plus dust building up everywhere, shoes everywhere, and dishes not piled in the sinks that have to be washed since we need to use them for cooking. I'm grateful to have to a dishwasher! I was thinking..I can do that later. It always be repeated. I suppose that I need to stop quoting to myself: I will do that later. I guess I can start doing the housework bit by bit tonight when the moon is in the sky. Wish me a luck!

Whatever Happens in Deafread/Deafvideo TV





Whatever happens in Deafread and Deafvideo TV, getting rid of all bitterness, anger, and harsh words/signs is necessary for all of us. Instead, we can find better words/signs and be tenderhearted to each other. It will NEVER be easy, but it's worth a try!

Paul Smith with Extraordinary Talent

Truly Amazing!


Paul Smith, the man with extraordinary talent was born in Philadelphia on September 21, 1921 with severe cerebral palsy. Not only had Paul beaten the odds of a life with spastic cerebral palsy, a disability that impeded his speech & mobility but also taught himself to become a master artist as well as a terrific chess player even after being devoid of a formal education as a child.'When typing, Paul used his left hand to steady his right one. Since he couldn't press two keys at the same time, he almost always locked the shift key down and made his pictures using the symbols at the top of the number keys. In other words, his pictures were based on these characters ..... @ # $ % ^ &* ( ) _ .Across seven decades, Paul created hundreds of pictures.

He often gave the originals away. Sometimes, but not always, he kept or received a copy for his own records.As his mastery of the typewriter grew, he developed techniques to create shadings, colors, and textures that made his work resemble pencil or charcoal drawings.'This great man passed away on June 25, 2007, but left behind a collection of his amazing artwork that will be an inspiration for many.

KODA's Dreaming

Last night, my daughter, Hannah had an interesting dream. In the dream, she picked up a coconut, wondering why it felt hairy. She woke up and felt something hairy. It was Brandon's head. She had dragged his head and had it on her chest. His feet were on the pillow where head was supposed to be.

"Last Night I dreamed Of Chickens"
by Jack Prelutsky
Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere…
They were on the chairs and tables,
they were on the chandeliers,
they were roosting in the corners,
they were clucking in my ears,...
there were chickens, chickens,
chickens for as far as I could see…
when I woke today,
I noticed there were eggs on top of me.
