At first glance, he looks like a Chinese version of Clark Kent. He is tall, broad-shouldered, but when he removes his thick-rimmed glasses and takes the stage, he has transformed into someone completely different.Instead of superhuman strength, Oscar Seung wields a different kind of power - a power that bursts through his lungs and out his lips to create a baritone sound.

Once, he was Escamillo, a bullfighter who woos the beautiful gypsy "Carmen". Another time, he was Gasparo, an abusive husband who teaches another man to control his wife, in "Rita".

Amid all the chaos known as my life, I found some time to sort through the rather large pile of clothes on my bedroom floor - a pile that could be easily mistaken for a little podunk town just outside of Lubbock.Some of the things I found included a Styx concert stub, my McLovin T-shirt and my "Mighty Ducks" trilogy. There were also some things I didn't want to stumble upon such as my "Beat Texas" T-shirt.

Yikes.

If it couldn't get any worse, I found the movie "Bobby" lying next to the wrinkled purple shirt.

Sigh.

If you use a wheelchair or are even in a cast or on crutches, routine and ordinary little tasks become an activity to be planned - in some cases, dreaded.

It's not that people mean to be insensitive or uncaring.

But living with a disability is difficult for most able-bodied people to understand.
