I confess: Sometimes when we plainly speak the truth and the other party doesn't understand, or even feel fear and scared, it's really taxing on the person speaking the truth. I feel at odds myself. One part of my mind just literally screams, to build an economy, just protect corporate...
I'd love to have a more Aspie-friendly job. I know it's not an Aspie thing to envy those who get to do something they love for a living, but I definitely feel that envy when I hear about certain other jobs. I think back on the alternate career paths I wanted to explore, but decided against them...

There's been a controversy in the news lately about two African-American high school students who say that they have been racially bullied on the bus and in school. They say it has gone on for quite some time and has escalated to the point where they are being confronted by white students...

I think we need to be responsible fiscally to repay all government obligations. However, there are a few helpless people who are not able to contribute to society, unless society offers them support first and foremost. This is why we need to cut all unnecessary spending. Anything that looks...

Well, I finally got to sleep at 5am. Went to bed at 3.30 then had a horrible night, I had status epilepticus for an hour straight, and now I feel like crap. Maybe the insomnia had something to do with the fits that were coming on, I don't know, all I know is my senses are on overdrive today and...
Every once in a while I like to predict stuff. And I?m right often. And clearly, since no one listens to me, I?ve become accustomed to being the guy that said ?I told you so?? that?s also my main annoyance here. Earlier today I picked up the newspaper, which I rarely do, and the headline said...

During my last play I went downstairs to the costume room where the kids were waiting for their show to go on (the one that my friend found so offensive) and I was waylaid by one of them who wanted to know if I had time for a survey about my childhood. I said I had a wretched childhood and was...

So it's nearly 1am, and I don't feel in the least bit tired. Gavin's on the night shift, and we have new housemates (yay...) my 6-month pregnant foster sister and her boyfriend. So far so good, we're getting on great, and it's nice to have some company in the evenings :). Really dreading a...

Today on James Howard Kunstler's "Cluster**** Nation" blog--yes, that is its name--he must have run out of targets because once again he was attacking Walmart. I would have put in my two cents worth but the comments section quickly fills up with such racist ugliness that after the first fifty...
My girlfriend was over during the weekend and compared to other people that are in a committed relationship (at least from what I've gathered over time), we don't deal in a lot of "romantic" time as such. Quite often we both discuss laws, rulings and the entire political agenda more than...

Today I started going to a new church, called People's Church. It is Unitarian-Universalist and is about as opposite as you can get from my old church. Walking in to it was a breath of fresh air! My old friends are baffled and hurt by my sudden departure. Only one seemed to understand...
Unless you?re residing on another planet or extremely wealthy and living in a cave, you?ve heard how the world is having an economical recession. Most countries suffer from it. Countries on the brink of collapse, the US with their ?fiscal cliff?, Europe and their silly EU rulings. With this...

In looking back over the last couple of years I want to share some things I have learned from the experience. I am not bitter or upset as I knew pretty much going into the experience that it was only going to be temporary because I knew upfront that our belief systems were not compatible. You...

I have two special interests that lasted for 5 years or more. One includes urban architecture, as I really like the buildings all around the world, and can explain their different styles the best I can. The other is SimCity series of games. I played SimCity 2000 and SimCity 4, and I really look...

I applied for sales positions in video games stores. Amongst them, I find one store having particularly awful hiring practices, that could affect the hiring of young males - Playcraft. It only hires females to be its sales assistants. I find this hiring practice sexist and discriminatory...

Every year about this time, my theater puts on a program of one-act plays. The plays are submitted from all over the country and the theater board decides which ones they want to perform. The plays are judged by a jury and the audience also gets to pick their favorites. This year one of the...
I go to the Doctors today. I'v been sick for about three months now and the Doctor is at odds with me because she's not sure what I have. I get the weirdest things. I had a tooth each last month and so went to see my Doc because I don't have dental with my Medical when they don't provide eye or...
Recently I read an article and my aspie-sense started tingling. I might even make this an on-going series of articles that have nothing to do with autism/Asperger's but actually... might have a lot to do with it depending on your perspective. Anyhow; the article I read was this In short...
