Something serious
So I went back home the 4th to the 13th for break got a lot of homework done. I'm done May 5th with finals. A lot of cool people here old friends and new friends (not a bear though). On a more serious note help Japan and the recent stuff going over there, I helped over here at school you can always donate by texting REDCROSS to 90999 ($10 will be donated). Thanks guys. Also on twitter this person whom I can determine as a fucking asshole and/or douchebag said that he would donate 50 dollars per follower but did not he delete his posts for that night and claimed that he did not know who much he was donating. So I guess when disaster strikes you get not only the goodness of others but the evil of others as hell. Oh well karma's a bitch dude.

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself (and a little background on my disabilty)
I'm Mark I'm 21 and I do all the things 21 year olds do (well most at least). The only difference is I have Developmental Dyspraxia. What is Developmental Dyspraxia. Well its motor skills and disorder nervous system disorder that affects 3-7 percent of school-age children and the hands do not do not receive the correct orders from the brain. It's known as clumsy child disorder, Developmental Coordination Disorder, and Developmental Motor Coordination Disorder. It's sometimes associated with mental handicaps (probably because of the developmental part of the the term). No body really knows what causes it. I have a powerpoint on this so just tweet (DM) me if you want it and I can email it to you. It was first described in 1994 by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth edition (DSM-IV) and much of the work is being done is Britian and the US. The is no cure but we can use Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy and we do need some accommodations. My friends just accept me for who I am, and they really can't tell but if they do they don't give a shit, which is fine with me which is what most people with my disability want, to fit in. Oh I'm also an enormous Packers fan so stop by my other blog here. Well that's enough about me you can follow me on twitter too.
