Hey cool blog check mine out too. Its an arts and ranting type of thing but I am diasbled not that it means anything

What prevents me from doing these gigs is the British always want me to put on my "disabled" head and put up with being patronised.
I am not a disabled performance poet or writer, I am a disabled windsurfer, horse rider, mountain biker and hill walker, ergo I am not able to do these things to my satisfaction any more.
Disability actually freed me from a demanding career so that I could write. for that reason I refuse to write about my disability and how I feel about it. It hacks me off and I would rather write and perform about subjects on which I have a little more to offer than self pity. I always find that America, for all that I dislike about its politics and the attitudes of some sectors of its society, is far more prepared to acknowledge me as a writer. I do not have to be a "disabled" writer in order to be given a chance.
