My Bells Palsy Story
My Bells Palsy Story
The date was Saturday April 27, 2002, I awoke around 12:00a.m., awaking so late because I had been out until 5:00 a.m. at a friends house having a few drinks. When I woke up I played around on the computer for a while. Around 1:30 p.m. I was starting to get a little hungry so I threw on some clothes and a hat, and headed out for some lunch.
I went out for a burger and a beer. I ordered a Bud Light in the bottle and a glass of water (with a straw for the water as usual.) I sat there and began drinking the beer, noticing that I couldn’t quite drink the beer out of the bottle without some of it dribbling down my face. It felt weird, like I couldn’t quite seal my lips around it enough. Then I would take a drink of the water without any problems. But when I went back to take a drink of the beer, without fail, I couldn’t. I was starting to get a little frustrated. Soon after my food arrived; I had ordered a burger and fries. I started to eat, noticing that I couldn’t fit the burger in my mouth; it felt as though my lip was in the way. I struggled through to finish my meal and beer, I seemed to have struggled so much that I was starting to break a sweat just trying to eat. How strange was that? I must have sat there trying to eat for close to an hour. When I got up to leave I felt exhausted. I left and went back home. Arriving at home I just tried to forget about it and relax. I laid on my bed and played some more on the computer. Soon enough I had forgotten how hard it was and my mind felt at ease again.

The morning of September 11, 2001
Attack!
I was sitting in the Lansing Community College library when at shortly after nine a.m., special reports interrupted the radio morning talk show that I was listening to. Why? I asked myself.
I cannot believe what I am hearing, “comparable to World War II, worse than Pearl Harbor,” “no one is not at risk,” states one reporter.
A plane has just hit one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City, Lower Manhattan. What? This must be an accident. I quickly emailed Steve to let him know about it, he thought as I, an accident. This was the same building that was bombed in 1993, various thoughts were running through my head and were promptly verified by news reports. This happened approximately 8:45am. Approximately 9:03am another plane has hit the opposite tower. Terrorist! Was the next word to be said. These planes were quickly identified, within minutes to be hijacked by Middle Eastern terrorists. Everything is closing, world chaos. General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Major League Baseball Association. The Sears Tower and Seattle Space Station has closed. No planes, commercial, personal, industrial or otherwise is to be in the air. Shortly after hearing all of this I had to go to class, so I’m not quite sure at this point what all I have missed. After class I came out to find out that more planes have crashed. One into the Pentagon in Washington D.C,. and the other somewhere in Pennsylvania. What could drive anyone to do something as terrible as this?
The towers came tumbling to the ground at ??? These buildings crumbled upon THOUSANDS of people. Fire and thick smoke surround everything, “you can’t even see your hand in front of your face.” ??? people have died within the planes that crashed into the three buildings and the country. Which doesn’t include the people IN the buildings.

You
You
Friendship is made up of
Trust to last a lifetime
Empowerment of one another
Experiences and memories
Love is made up of
Romance to last a lifetime
Compassion of one another
Experiences and memories
Life is made up of
Decisions to last a lifetime
Hardships of one another
Experiences and memories
Will you be my friend?
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my life?
Friendship is made up of
Trust to last a lifetime
Empowerment of one another
Experiences and memories
Love is made up of
Romance to last a lifetime
Compassion of one another
Experiences and memories
Life is made up of
Decisions to last a lifetime
Hardships of one another
Experiences and memories
Will you be my friend?
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my life?

All I Want
All I could ever ask for
Out of life is easy to accomplish
I just need to take small steps
To make my dreams reality
I want to settle down
Easy some would say
But it entails a lot
Of persistence and determination
I want a career
I want to be established
I want to be recognized
I don’t want to worry anymore
I want a family
I want to walk them through life
And I want them to help me through mine
I don’t want to worry anymore
I want a lover
I want someone to love
I want someone to love me
I don’t want to worry anymore
Out of life is easy to accomplish
I just need to take small steps
To make my dreams reality
I want to settle down
Easy some would say
But it entails a lot
Of persistence and determination
I want a career
I want to be established
I want to be recognized
I don’t want to worry anymore
I want a family
I want to walk them through life
And I want them to help me through mine
I don’t want to worry anymore
I want a lover
I want someone to love
I want someone to love me
I don’t want to worry anymore

Philosophy Number One
Philosophy Number One
I have just been asked
Possibly the easiest question
That I can truthfully answer
“What do you regret most in life?”
‘Why?’
‘Why should anyone regret anything?’
I have come to one conclusion
‘Everything in life,
Everything you do,
You do it for a reason.’
Now it is up to you
To reach within your soul
To find the answers
To figure out
‘Why?’

Have You Ever?
Have You Ever?
Have you ever
Looked into someone’s eyes
So deep, so entrance
It were as if
You could read
They’re every thought?
Have you ever
Been touched by someone
So gentle, so mysterious
That
You could feel your every worry
Leave your mind?
Have you ever
Had someone whisper in your ear
Kind words, so sweet
Your heart felt as though it had
Soared amongst the clouds?
Have you ever
Smelled someone’s
Wonderful scent, so exotic
That every time you smell it again
It fills your thoughts’ with memories of them?
Have you ever
Tasted someone’s
Luscious lips, so sensual
They draw you back for more
You desire it most
Have you ever
Let your senses free?
Have you ever
Been in love?
Have you ever
Looked into someone’s eyes
So deep, so entrance
It were as if
You could read
They’re every thought?
Have you ever
Been touched by someone
So gentle, so mysterious
That
You could feel your every worry
Leave your mind?
Have you ever
Had someone whisper in your ear
Kind words, so sweet
Your heart felt as though it had
Soared amongst the clouds?
Have you ever
Smelled someone’s
Wonderful scent, so exotic
That every time you smell it again
It fills your thoughts’ with memories of them?
Have you ever
Tasted someone’s
Luscious lips, so sensual
They draw you back for more
You desire it most
Have you ever
Let your senses free?
Have you ever
Been in love?
