Since we are currently smack dab in the middle of superhero season in the movie theaters (X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern, and Thor) and in the news (Peter Parker was recently killed off in Marvel Comics’ Ultimate Spiderman latest issue), I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to share with you some of [...]

My B2B Story
Posted in Allegedly Funny, Memories on May 31, 2011 | 4 Comments »
When it comes to communicating with the people around me, I am fortunate to have a couple different options at our disposal. There is the eye gaze for when I’m home and plugged in. I believe that we’re quite up to speed on that machine, so I’ll spare you the ins and outs of the [...]
Five Days in Exile

Day 1: Never having heeded the sage advice of the axiom that says that one should pace oneself, I decide that the most prudent course of action during this unprecedented period of time without the Eye Gaze is to completely immerse myself into the world of streaming movies on our flatscreen courtesy of our Blu [...]
Oh See Dee and Me

The moment the camera crapped out on the eye tracking unit on my eye gaze machine I immediately thought about my pants and the fact that I was wearing the wrong ones. (Pause for dramatic effect). Although my current ALS-inspired lifestyle has weaned me off most of my old OCD-type tendencies, some habits are very [...]

It has come to my attention that one very special and important member of our Adventures of ALS Boy blog-reading family is wondering how fiscally feasible it is for me to continually provide such lavish and extravagant prize packages to the winners of the caption contest week after week.

Some of my best ideas have come to me while shaving. Standing in front of the sink with a towel around my waist and staring at my Edge gel covered face in the mirror, the creative thoughts seem to flow inside my mind like the warm water draining out of the faucet as it washes [...]
(Neverending Quest for Proverbially) Shiny Objects
Posted in Allegedly Funny, Pop Culture on April 27, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I’ve got no problem admitting out loud that I have this tendency to get really into something at the expense of something else. For seemingly days on end, this thing that I’m into becomes something akin to an obsession to me. It’s the only thing that I want to spend my time doing, regardless of [...]
Bow Chicka Wow Wow

Working as a caregiver for ALS Boy Enterprises, LLC has quite a bit of down time. Sure, mornings are seriously high volume — getting me out of bed, putting me on the toilet, transferring me to the shower chair, brushing my teeth, bringing me into the shower dirty and rolling me out clean, drying me [...]
A Clarification and A Decision
Posted in Allegedly Funny on April 6, 2011 | 4 Comments »
The Clarification I have come to realize that the opening paragraph of yesterday’s post might be misleading to most of my readers. “Other than the most basic of necessities … I really don’t ask for a lot of things.” I can see now how that statement paints me in an extremely angelic light but that [...]
Conundrum

As the weather turns warmer and cargo shorts replace blue jeans as the official lower body wardrobe choice of ALS Boy, I suddenly find myself with an interesting dilemma.
