It's Nothing More Than A Mafia Hit......


     I write this blog with a certain amount of fear and trepidation...because, like a witness in a criminal case against a crime family, I fear for my well being. Ataxia has ears and henchman everywhere...and at any moment, Ataxia could discover that I am the informant...and see a need to have me "tuned-up" in some shady back alley. Like a reluctant witness, however, I have decided to come forward to name names...and point a shaky finger, (one of the casualties of a forced association with the infamous mob boss Ataxia), at some of the members within the cruel, unfeeling family.  

     At the top of the organization is Ataxia himself. He alone is the very definition of crime, and although he is not widely known...to those who are unlucky enough to have been seen as a lucrative way for him to expand his empire, he is known by several different names and personalities...two of the most common being FA and SCA. He oversees all of the daily operations, and even though he has others underneath him to do most of the dirty work...Ataxia is responsible for calling the shots and can be held accountable for them all. 

     Ataxia's top General, and most trusted henchman...is a thug by the name of Guido Gravity or G-Man for short. Everything we do is affected in one way or another by the forces of gravity...and G-Man's job is to push hard, increasing by various degrees a negative gravitational pull...or to remove it whenever doing so would cause the most damage to the targeted individual.

     He is also a master of manipulating situations so that those who work under him and do his bidding can more easily deploy their crafts. Among this group of trouble makers, is Carl the Choker...whose job is to make all swallowing difficult. In my case, he is always hiding in the shadows...and strikes at random, making it much more difficult to predict. Sometimes Carl will allow me the ease of taking a few swallows of something as simple as water...building confidence with each sip that goes down...until about the fourth one...when suddenly he will strike! I sputter and choke....and Carl nonchalantly returns to the shadows with a smile on that rotten face of his.

     Another of the troublesome crew members of Ataxia's gang is Serducio Stairway...or S-Man. Several thousand years ago, S-Man successfully convinced us that he was necessary...and he's been causing problems ever since. Sure, over the years we have seen inventions to undermine his need: like ramps, elevators, and escalators....but somehow, he still manages to spread himself around freely...showing up almost everywhere, and becoming quite influential. Again, he is another henchman that can be seen working closely with his boss G-Man...and ascending stairs is one thing...but you can really see their devious masterminds when it comes to descending. It can be challenging, to say the least...and often can be quite hazardous.

     Ataxia has many other evil associates working for him, including Artie the Insomniac, Paulie Penmanship, Sammy the Slurrer, and Mikey Motor-Skills...and even though they continue to be free to roam around, I look forward to the day that they are rounded up and put on death row. Until then I will continue in witness protection...seeing my Neurologist, Physical Therapist, and any other specialist I am referred to....like the speech Therapist that I saw about a year ago.

     Ataxia is, among other things, a slimy little schemer...and will do all he can to keep you intimidated. Don't give in to his tricks, but tell everyone you know about him and his evil henchman...and let's continue to shine a light on him and his twisted, dastardly deeds. The hope is that as more people become exposed to his corrosive ways...more and more research will be put in towards ending his reign of terror for good.

     So, don't lose heart, my friends. I believe that one day we will see him come to an end. Until then...keep fighting and hold your head high.
