On Being Left-Handed
August 14, 2006 in Smartkit All Posts, Brain Power, Brain, Top 20 Posts by Dr. R.L. Kaplan
“In medieval times, the left hand was associated with the Black Arts, wizards, and sorcery. In witchcraft, evil spells are cast by laying on the left hand, and left-handed oath is never to be trusted†[Taken from a Baylor College of Medicine article written by Adrian Flatt, MD]
In many languages, ‘right’ stands for:
authority
correct
skillful
justice
Whereas ‘left’ stands for:
bad
illegal
immoral
sloppy
clumsy
devil
evil
unlucky
[Reference: Wikipedia]
Apparently, August 13th was officially left-handers day, as my wife just emailed me this sinister link.
We are both left-handed, but our kids are all right handed. Interestingly, one of the leading theories (CBG) on left-handedness suggests that it’s not a genetic thing, but rather a byproduct of fetal brain injury.
According to the Geschwind-Behan-Galaburda (CBG) theory, early injury to the left hemisphere of the brain forces language and motor function to leave its native place on the left side and migrate over and develop in the right hemisphere. The CBD theory states only right-handed children have developed normally.
Don’t despair yet, fellow lefties. Tests by Alan Searleman from St. Lawrence University found there were more left-handed people with IQs over 140 than right-handed people. Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein were all left-handed.
William Hopkins, a researcher at Emory University, notes: “It may be that left handed people occupy the extremes when it comes to health and ability. The anomaly is left-handed people make up the extremely gifted and the extremely compromised. The rest of us make up the middle ground.â€
Cried the poor Queen: "...Consider anything, only don't cry!"
Alice could not help laughing at this, even in the midst of her tears. "Can you keep from crying by considering things?" she asked.
"That's the way it's done," the Queen said with great decision: 'nobody can do two things at once, you know. Let's consider your age to begin with--how old are you?"
"I'm seven and a half, exactly."
"You needn't say 'exactly,'" the Queen remarked. "I can believe it without that. Now I'll give you something to believe. I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day."
"I can't believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast..."
Welcome to the edge of confusion,
The House in which I reside.
I sit on my throne, lovely as fear,
With loneliness always by my side.
Ever in darkness, never quite sure
What today wishes to bring.
Depression on my lap, bringing me down,
Conceit and self-doubt longing to sing.
Forever and always, the images haunt me,
Self-consciousness and paranoia, strain
.
The borderline mood swings high over clouds
While stress rests content in the rain.
[September 13, 2006]
So I've made up my mind. I will pretend to leave this world behind. And in the end you'll know I've lied to get your attention. I'm faking my own suicide.
I'm faking my own suicide, because I know you love me, you just haven't realized. I'm faking my own suicide. They'll hold a double funeral, because a part of you will die along with me.
Wish you thought that I was dead, so rather than me, you'd be depressed instead. And before arriving at my grave, you'd come to the conclusion you've loved me all your days. But it's too late. Too late for you to say.
Because I'm faking my own suicide, because I know you love me, you just haven't realized. I'm faking my own suicide. They'll hold a double funeral, because a part of you will die along with me.
I'll write you a letter that you'll keep, reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep. You say aloud that you would've been my wife. Right about that time is when I come back to life, and let you know. I'd let you know
I was faking my own suicide, because I know you loved me, you just never realized. I was faking my own suicide. I'll walk in that room and see your eyes open so wide. I've been so lost, because you know you will never leave my sight until the day that I die for the first time. And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh, and we will cry, so overjoyed with the love that saved my life.
Our love is so alive.

And here are the people I love the most:
Jaimee Culver is my best friend and one of the most beautiful people I know. I just need to kill Jimmy so I can see her more often.
Kaci Barger is my favorite cousin ever and I love her to death. She needs to move closer to me or something. I really wish I could see her way more than I do now. If it wasn't for her, my current style of awesomeness probably wouldn't exist; she introduced me to "emo."
Michelle Kohler and I haven't been friends for real for very long, but I think she's pretty great. Nos hablamos en espanol y estamos en la clase de espanol junto y somos buenas amigas.
Emily Neal is my coworker at Pondogrossa and we are the coolest people there. She is such an awesome person and I love her love for music.
Bridgette and I are recent friends, and she's dating my favorite almost brother, Brandon. She needs to stop going to Seckman so I can see her more often.
Ben Swedholm is the most creative and funniest person I know. Because of him, I have Photoshop.
Jordan Nash is the most random person I have ever met. He loves Danny fucking Elfman and giraffes, and he hates the Amish. I haven't seen him since December, but over the summer we're going to Ozzfest.
Dan Litz is Tony's boyfriend and another very new friend. He invited me to youth group last week and something in me has changed and I feel a strong urge to find myself and something more important than me.. I think Dan can help me.
