I always feel super awkward driving through the waiting room at the rehab clinic (where I go for aquatic physical therapy) in my fluorescent yellow bathing suit. All the old people, who obviously don’t understand I’m there for pool therapy or that I bought a bright yellow bathing suit to be funny, smile at me like, “Oh how adorable! The little wheelchair boy picked out his own...

In a great mood
Tomorrow night is my Dad’s somethingth annual Dance Jam Banquet that he puts on to raise money for the MDA. Becca is coming home tonight, so she and all my Moravian friends will be there, which is guaranteed to be a fun night. Tomorrow is also my last day of classes for the semester. I’ve got two finals that I’ve already decided not to really worry about next week, then...

Check out this blog! →
This is a new blog written by a 20-year-old with the same disease as me. He’s a cool dude and I have read some of his stories and they’re really great. He’s going to post his first story soon, but he asked me to give him a shout out so that he would have an audience when he posts. It’s definitely well worth your time to add him to the blogs that you follow.
Just bought a GoPro HD Hero 2
She is absolutely beautiful. Andrew and I are currently brainstorming stunts for this summer.
What do YOU want to see us do?

Me trying to expand Pat's musical horizon
Me: Listen to the whole album Deja Entendu... just sit and listen to it and don't distract yourself. I think you will like it.
Pat: Only if you roll down Linden Street naked on a skateboard made of razors.

Job Interview
Every time I think about applying for a job, I imagine how potentially awkward but funny a job interview would be for me. So… since I have two huge essays to write within the next week, I decided to procrastinate more and write a hypothetical job interview. For this endeavor I’m going to pretend that I am applying to be a manager at corporate offices for Taco Bell (my dream job). Some aspects of...

Anonymous asked: I learned of you when NBC10 featured you. I loved your inspiring story and shared it with my 8th grade language arts students as we discussed “To What Extent We Can Understand Someone Else’s Experience?” They had a few questions for you:
- Which famous person would you most like to meet and why?
- Is there a particular event in your life that caused you to adopt...

Another story from my childhood
“Mom, PLEASE!” I whined. She had to say yes. She had to. “I just don’t understand why you need to be up on his porch,” she replied for probably the 5th time, starting to get annoyed. “Mom, we want to have a HUGE battle and there are no good places to hide our army men down on the sidewalk. All you have to do is carry me up there, and I’ll stay there for a long time, so you won’t have to...

Anonymous asked: How do you get over the anger/self-pity that comes along with realizing your life will never be "normal" like everyone else. I ask because I recently received some life-changing news that make me feel like I will never be "normal" again and I don't know how to let go of the anger and the "why me".

Whoops!
It’s 3:00PM on a humid day in July. Instead of racing around outside with my neighbors like I should be, I’m sitting on the toilet, strapped into my specially adapted backrest, quietly weeping at my ridiculous situation. What is wrong with me? On my bare lap sits our house phone, waiting for me to gather the nerves to call Ben. *** A few hours before I found myself crying on the toilet,...
