Untitled

My soul yearns for a freedom
Freedom like none the other
Life as clear as day
With the mind as open

I seek this
this illusion
to just be me

I am one
I am unique
I am original

Where else
would you look
I am right here
Before your eyes

Taking Chances: Tackling the Workforce

Image
As I have been unsuccessful at getting through an interview in Buffalo, NY for the last four years, I had to finally ask for assistance from a local agency that works on behalf of those who are hard of hearing and/or Deaf.  It is no fun when you go into a job interview and you find yourself among ringing phones, overhead intercom system, and other disruptions that can cause one to lose focus and concentration on important questions being asked. I have always manage to find a job within a year or two.  Never really struggled as much as I have been the last four years.  There are those who may find themselves in a similar position as myself and to be honest finding a job with a server to profound hearing loss can be a huge challenge, even for those who have moderate to server hearing loss. What bugs me about this whole thing is the fact that many assume that those with a hearing loss don't want to apply themselves or they are not capable enough to communicate effecti...

CI Journey: What it's like a year and a half later

Image
As I have been trying to play catch up, life tends to get busy and obviously I'm still trying to catch up.  I am usually responding or answering questions among others on FB in regards to the CIs (Cochlear Implant(s)) and HAs (Hearing Aid(s)) but I know I haven't really been on much.  So my apologies. I was having issues with my nine and a half year old computer and it kept crashing on me.  So when I started to response or work on a blog or tweet or to even try to type up something in the Cochlear Community - my computer went hay-wired on me!  So it has been very frustrating to not be able to participate fully but to do so here and there.  Now, I have a working refurbished Dell tower, which I honestly didn't want to put out the money for, but since I do graphic designs on the side for friends who want me to help them out and I also write - I needed my programs to be fully functional and uninterrupted.  I've only had it for a few days now, so here hoping t...

Find Yourself First

Image
Find and you shall reap. Find yourself first. Don't go looking in dark places. Don't go looking for yourself in others. Don't go looking in dark times. The journey is yours. Only yours. Its yours until you find you. When you have found you, not in anyone else, then you are ready to join in on another journey. But if you found you, but in someone else, You'll feel out of sorts, Not honest, Not pure, Just dirty. Push away those that care, They'll still back you. But when they get pushed further away, it's because you did it. STOP! THINK! THINK OF YOU! NO ONE BUT YOU! We miss you. We want you back. Where did you go? Find and you shall reap. Find yourself in you. When you have, Come back to us. We'll be waiting.
