[Blindtlk] Eye Poking

Thu Apr 28 00:25:43 UTC 2011

I was a swayer myself.  I would drive the houseparents and teachers 
crazy.  I am a grown dude and still catch myself doing some swaying 
especially when I am jamming on the tunes.  I have also developed 
another trait over the years.  I like to stand for hours on end.  I can 
stand for hours, say six or more hours and I like to pace around.  I 
find I keep better posture that way.  When I sit, I am a slumper.  I 
don't like that.
