Yeah.

How would you describe music to a deaf person?

How would you describe color to a blind person?

 

In touch, smell, taste.

 

It's pretty much impossible though... but I did have to write a seven page report on this, once.

 

I lived with a deaf woman for 7 years.
We would go dancing all the time, she could feel the beat in the floor and she said in the air also.
When we were home I would sign the words to songs to her, while I danced.
She was very perceptive, when you lose a sense, the others get sharper...

Orsino...you have such soulfull, beautiful eyes..

 

My best friend's dad went blind when we were in Kindergarten, which is where we met. Anyhow, he went blind because of an eye disease and as he went blind he learned how to adapt --- He still works on engines, bowls, he drew for awhile. He never quite got the hang of brail, but he kept his job as a dispatcher for an oil & gas transportation company by learning to "read" with his fingertips - he uses ball point pens and a little pressure to sort of indent the letters. It's really amazing how he adapted, to the point that alot of people who have spent any amount of time around him forget.
Describing things to people who have lost a sense - I have no idea.
One more observation - I drove by a house one day in the little town where I live and there was a car sitting in the driveway with two or three people in it, and another three or four people outside the car --- obviously several of these people were hearing impaired or deaf because there were about a million different sign language conversations happening all at once, I sat at the corner in my car amazed that any of them knew what what anyone else was saying --- It really blew my mind.

Thank you

btw... when I said impossible, I meant impossible physically as they would never know exactly.

 

I don't know if anyone has seen the movie "Mask" (not the one with Jim Carey), but the main character befriends a blind girl and shows her color by making her hold a hot potato (red) and an ice cube. I'm not sure if it was an ice cube or not, but it made her understand blue. I thought it was interesting.

As for music...I don't know. Music is even indescribable to a non-deaf person. (For me at least )

 

Ohhhh... I thought you said it was the one with Jim Carrey and I was thinking "Huh... I don't remember that"...

 

Now that was a cool movie FreeB...Cher played Rustys mom...and he was so cool, I cried at the end.

 

You aint the only one.....

I thought Jim Carrey's movie sucked ass.

 

Jim Carrey recently applied for dual citizenships to Canada and the US.

 

I did too!

 

Why'd he apply for dual-citizenship? He's too old to get drafted..

 

Because he's from Canada and he was applying to the US... lmao...eh
