Consult Us
I often hear persons in authority who are abled bodied discussing matters which concern differently abled people. Very few people who can walk properly would realise that there are two or three stairs at the entrance of a building or that the height of the sidewalks makes life difficult for wheelchair users. You would not ask a carpenter what an electrician requires. Therefore, the authorities need to ask us what we require to live our lives a little easier.

A Step In The Right Direction
I had the pleasure of attending the first Miss Trinidad and Tobago Differently-Abled Queen Show last Sunday. When I found out about this queen show a few months ago, my first thought was "FINALLY" because I think that differently-abled people need to show abled bodied people that we can do what they do, just differently.
On the left of me is my good friend and the organiser of the show, Beverly Jackson and on the right of me is Beverly Jackson's daughter, Annaly Maule who is another organiser. Annaly is a good friend of mine as well.

A Typical Day In My Life
I am sure that you have wondered "what does Tyron Bishop do on a daily basis." Well, my day begins with me sliding off my bed onto a mattress where I get on my Nokia C3(yes I use a qwerty keyboard). I then check my Facebook messages and update my Equal Treatment For Differently Abled People fan page's status then I move across to my mother's room where I listen to radio talk shows throughout the day while I surf the web and chat with my Facebook friends until I am ready to log off and start looking at television. I write and save my status update for the next day on my phone. I return to my room. I continue looking at television. I check my Facebook messages from time to time until I am ready to go to bed.

The End Of An Exceedingly Long Story
In one of my previous posts I told you what happened last September when I applied for Republic Online (online banking). Yesterday, after months of waiting for something which usually takes days... I got an e-mail from Republic Bank notifying me that my Republic Online has been activated and for this, I am thankful but I cannot help wondering how long it would have taken if I were not a persistent person.

My 2011 Year In Review
My year started off a little stressful because in early January my big mouse stopped working. Therefore, I was forced to use a touch screen cellular phone as my mouse, which was very difficult but I did it for about three (3) weeks, then I got my new mouse.
On the 7th of February, I decided to change the title from Equal Treatment For Disabled People to Equal Treatment For Differently Abled People.
On the 10th of February, I mistakenly deleted my Equal Treatment For Disabled People Facebook fan page but I took it as an opportunity to start over with the new name. Five (5) minutes later my Equal Treatment For Differently Abled People fan page was created.
On the 16th of June, one of my friends who is a disc jockey on an online radio station in England dedicated the first of two of his shows to promoting my fan page.
On the 19th June, I started giving my fans a daily update on our athletes who took part in the Special Olympics and I did this throughout the Olympics, which closed on the 4th of July.
On the 12th of July, my fan page crossed 1,000 fans.
On the 22nd of December, my fan page crossed 1,500 fans.
Bookmark this page (tyronbishop.blogspot.com) and get yourself comfortable because if 2012 turns out to be better than 2011, you will be hearing a lot more from me in 2012.
