DOSSIER - PORTFOLIO - PHOTOGRAPHY
carrying member of the Traumatic Brain
Injury Club. This makes stroke recovery all the more interesting!
From all this, I've come to earn to do the opposite of what
neurology "experts" direct me to do and NOT take the pricey
medication they prescribe. Life goes on and as a result of physical rehabilitation not going well — as advised — I discovered that if I Sally Forth and do what I used to do around the house, I'm using my limbs as I need to. Much like my alter egos at odds with each other, I have to re-calibrate my thinking and doing endeavors by evenly matching that of my opponent.
As I learned in citizen's police training — always match force to my opponent's force. If they use a knife, I use a knife. They use a gun, I use a gun and so on.... While I'm a firm believer in overkill, I have to restrain myself to match wits, so to speak.
Where I see us heading into the end times, I have to prepare myself -- mentally and physically -- and probably NOT be evenly matched. To the best of my ability, I'll utilize overkill and light the fuse at any time.... Who's with me???
With all of my new found free
time, I did a lot of stroke recovery documenting in addition to
learning to appreciate arts and crafts like never before — hence BlueCoyote GraphX — where
I document my crafting adventures and sell customized items. This
is also where I learned to like coffee. With reduced caffeine so I
wouldn't stroke out again from high blood pressure and work
stress....
I
was never a coffee drinker until after
the stroke so I had to learn what coffee I liked and where to get
it and how I liked I it. I definitely prefer a medium Arabica
roast. With cream? Sugar? Irish cream?... Somewhere along the line
I learned to loooove Bulletproof coffee! As it
turns out, I don't like their fancy price or taste so I used Chamberlain
Coffee until they made it clear they are clearly liberals.
In serious caffeine moderation, I decided I prefer the taste of Death Wish coffee and a
few other brands such as Peets,
Chamberlain Coffee, Black Rifle Coffee Company,
Global Roast Coffee and
Flavor Fantasies.
It wasn't until after I read this article that I learned to fully
appreciate the physical affects of Bulletproof coffee:
What It's Like To Drink Bulletproof
Coffee Every Morning For Two Weeks.
"Bulletproof Coffee" became "Bulletproof Latte". How to assemble
my Bulletproof Latte is easy now after plenty of practice. With
one usable hand and the other for counter balance, it requires
everything to be an assembly line. Seems "easy and rational"
but....
Do you remember this visual?
When I'm seen drinking
out of one of these custom Yeti tumblers, please understand how
committed and / or crazy I am to the cause to help forward my
efforts in remaining focused on
that particular project. The
websites I have for RabidJackal, HitBunny,
PossumZombie, BlueCoyote and OrionEngnr
are secured for a good long time after I lost hitbunny.com
as it was up for renewal at a time I just wasn't using the domain
name.
hitbunny.com lapsed and while I
was recovering from a serious stroke, some pencil weenie named Matthew Klein with DropCatch.com 887 LLC
came in and swiped it for "simple to spell and remember"
words. It's for sale at $ 1,228.00. He can keep it.
I settled on keeping hitbunny.site and hitbunny.me.
Said Shenanigans
Next in
line.... While recovering from my health shenanigans, I
keep busy with Alusky / husky dog grooming and website building as
I used to do — by hand. That means knowing how to code and
program. It may not be what I went to programing school for but
it's what I do. To keep up with technology, I figured out which
language I preferred. I'm middle aged and programming for my own
amusement. I found website CSS being the easiest and best for this
disabled 50+ year old! Long live W3Schools
for teaching me all I need to know at this time for my websites. 
Keeping my brain engaged (and amused) after my stroke on top of a
Traumatic Brain Injury is not easy: consider it engaging your
enemy combatant in a small-scale physiological war against
yourself. Your enemy is in your head and can read your thoughts.
You don't know if you're losing your mind or overcoming fears in a
good or bad way. So I stay focused and pick a direction to amuse
myself with, even if it's that conundrum of a briar patch....
Web Design
I design most of my own graphics, coding & websites for my own amusement. Where necessary, and provided, I have artist names so I will certainly credit them. If you find your art without your name — PLEASE — lemme me know because I managed to miss seeing it!I REFUSE to use cookies, trackers & all that crap I use browser extensions to block all that crap when I'm on the internet. Granted, it can be equally irritating. Think of using mosquito netting to protect yourself... and blocking you from bring able to grab something and using it. But I'm computer virus free so I'll get over it.
For programming, I use the old, discontinued and apparently mocked and hated MS Expression 4. I also utilize the defunct BlueGriffon and still acctive CoffeeCup HTML Editor.
My coding is heavy on CSS programming and while CSS is new kinda for me, I still code the way I did when I started in 1999! Why??? Cos it works!
Dog Grooming
Next in
my dossier is the importance of Alusky (husky x
malamute) grooming! While our dogs have their own website, I'm
sharing a little bit here to add to the mix of why I feel like a
zombie of sorts. And here is where I reinforce my need for
caffeine — In my RabidJackal
tumbler!
Grooming double coated northern breed dogs — in Texas — is
not to be taken lightly.
