I think what Wall Street and K Street (the advocacy groups in Washington) did not see it coming, is that they bring about an age which we all fear. This is, the age of depression, suppression and regression.
The effects of the American subprime mortgage crisis has struck my country quite...
I see that Wall Street has been under seige lately by protesters, and I say it is about damn time. However, I feel that the protesters are wasting their time. All they are doing is making a lot of noise and drawing a lot of attention for the time being, but in the end when they leave and the...
I just finished reading Stephen Greenblatt's "The Swerve," which is about the rediscovery of a long-lost poem by the Roman poet Lucretius and how it changed Western civilization. Called "On the Nature of Things," it contained the most dangerous ideas about gods, religion, fear, pleasure--and...
There's been a tendency down through the ages to romanticize poverty, and to equate it with freedom. Someone said to me not long ago in response to something I had said that they would prefer to live the life of a starving artist and have their freedom rather than compromise. Well, there might...
Well, the play's run has ended and I am sitting here waiting for post-production let-down to hit. For six weeks I have been spending almost every evening down at the theater and now it is over. I know there will be other shows but I also know for the next few days when 6:00 rolls around I will...
I have my own free will. If I am not the number 1 or influential number 2 in any organization, I will just leave - that's why I am frustrated at being the number 3 of any organization, because this means I have no purpose in life.
I am weird and spontaneous - and I should make the best of...
Geordie was born with extra-ordinary drive and grit. He is a born leader. He insists on his right to make up his own mind; he demands freedom of thought and action, and doesn't let anything or anyone stand in his way once he is committed to his goal.
He assumes the responsibility to be the...
I bought a cup of bubble tea just now. Nice smooth flavor with fragrance - however, the smoothness is not that emphasized - so I'm apprehensiv e of trying it again. Plus, I know it's already nice - without a coherent business plan that really suggests to us that the tea shop (ioi cafe) is...
I feel like an oddball in Singapore.
I don't know - I follow American football, really following the pulse from the Lions' recent loss to the 49ers, to the Friday Night Lights in six-man football - and after Super Bowl, I'll follow March Madness and NBA.
I went to a writers' meetup and...
You loved me more when I was broken and bad. Loaded with problems. Preaching but not living, unable to swallow my own words. I was weak and ignorant of my negative and painful affects on you. I rejected everything emotional and disabled myself but you carried on loving me. Now that I?m finally...
We had a guest preacher this morning who spoke on the importance of prayer. Turned out he was a former classmate of mine from high school back in the 1970's. I'm afraid I gave him a rather rough time afterwards. Basically, he started out pretty good by talking about prayer as being vital to...
So, earlier today I got a letter from the employment office. And according to their therapist, where they've sent me to last May I'm healthy and able to work.
However, if I didn't agree, I could send them an appeal, where I stated a decent motivation why I disagree. Thus... I did. Now...
I haven't witnessed any more ghostly happenings at the theater, and I have been checking the candles. As I suspected, they do loosen up over time. So, it is going to take more than that to convince me that there is really a ghost. Though if I were a ghost I can't imagine a more wonderful...
Many things have been written about the recent passing of Steve Jobs. Now, I am somewhat Amish when it comes to new technologies; I prefer the tried and true and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have a 30 year old microwave, I am still using a land-line, and I am still using dial-up though...
What do bullies look for? After observing the species in action for many decades, I think that I can identify some of the main things that they look for. Now, some types of bullying have had to go underground. For example, in many places it is now very risky to openly bully someone based upon...
I took a cognitive-linguistic yesterday. So far, everything points to PDD-NOS. I don't know how to even begin thinking about all this.
I'd like to share some of the things I've learned from a lifetime of seeing bullies in action, both up close and at a distance. They really are quite interesting (if repulsive) people. Unfortunately there is a lot of BS written about them. This is meant to empower you so that you can learn...
Well, I finally got to "witness" the theater ghost in action, and I had to admit that it was rather spooky. I'm still convinced that what we all saw can be explained by natural causes. (Ironically one of the characters in the play is a scientist who feels the same way about the happenings in...
In my previous blog(s), I wrote about seeing a therapist, a possibility to be on the spectrum, getting a diagnosis and all. It's been about 2 weeks after my therapist told me that this was the end of the road with him. I have yet to phone another therapist who should get me more towards the path...
