Hello guys and girls! :)

I'm new here but eager to contribute. I thought I can do that by showing you my blog. I write about lots of things, and I try to keep the tone pretty light and not too 'down in the dumps'.

I tend to write quite a few entries about my various electric wheelchairs over the years, and the adventures they inevitably bring.

The address of my blog is below:

My Blog

Please tell me what you think, and thanks for reading!

Regards,

Carl.

Wheels I really like it. I think hes really witty and the pictures are cool too.I'm going to read it.

I have decided anyway I think you ought to write your sci life story - in audiobook form as irish voices are most popular especially with the american ladies. You could be irish answer to christopher reeves, you could put you picture on the front cover and body builders who lifted too much and got sci, soldiers etc etc, you know all the mens men can learn lots and because your funny it would sell.You could take nice pictures of ireland too with all the hills you have gone up and down on in your wheels.

I aint trying to butter you up here I generally do mean it. So dont be telling me off.

Thank you for your kind words, little one.
My SCI story, different to many udders yet one of equality, yep, I am a contradiction :unsure:

My image/voice/humor, I am a sexy fecker alright :lmao: just kidding.

Modesty serves yet only voiced to allow udders to see what's possible within the realms of independence of us para's.

Take care, little one.

Thank you people!

As you can probably tell if you read any of my stuff, I don't often go down the self-loathing route, nor do I ask for sympathy. My blog is just a vessel through which I rant and rave. Hopefully it's mildly entertaining though.

For those who think of it as a diary, I disagree. Through my blog I have found paid employment, and as strange as it may sound, it is a resume of sorts. In addition to this, I've met many wonderful people through the connections I've made.

So thanks again for reading.

Welcome Carl!

I haven't had time to read your blog, sorry - will later.

So you didn't get told off by woofy (=wheelsonfire) who hates blogs generally? How much more good luck can a person wish for, eh? LOL

Looking forward to seeing you post. =)

carl

i enjoyed reading your blog. i think it's great to be able to share your stories with others. i can relate to the rain and needing a caffine fix. a starbucks coffee will make my blues go away any day of the week. i'm always looking for an excuse for a cup or two. green tea is nice too.
i hope you keep writing.
please ignore some of the comments on here. there always seems to be one bad apple trying to spoil the rest.

have a great day and keep on surviving lifes ups and downs.

My Blog is still going well and I would like to hear any more feedback you may have.
