    Way to many people have that additude I'm afraid.😔It seems like toned down traits of narcissism and machiavellianism are everywhere. It's sad really.

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...

I am starting this post making clearer the last statement on my previous post. I said I wouldn't have kids for I don't want them to be like me. I should have stated I won't have kids if I'm diagnosed to be on the spectrum, since there's a possibility that autism is genetically related. Some say...
I could start a rant... in a thread. I believe I ranted enough today. Not on the board though. I don't have intention to mess up the entire board... but, I ranted today against; My former therapist. Last week I went there, and he pretty much, among other therapists, told me "sorry man, I...

Last night the director was discussing a scene from the play we are doing. It is not enough that something is in the script, she said, you have to understand why it is in the script. Why is your character doing what he or she is doing or saying what he or she is saying. Why is he or she...

My first blog post - I don't know if there are gonna be others - is about my first attempt to get a diagnosis on my craziness and oddity. Next Thursday, I have an appointment with a specialist in autism and Asperger Syndrome. I don't have any expectations about this first appointment, but I...

I've been involved in a new play at my community theater, which is why I haven't been as active lately. It's been a tradition that each fall we do a "Halloween"-themed play and this year is no exception. We are doing a ghost story. Now, the theater where we perform has a reputation for being...

I woke up after a 15 minute catnap, which I clearly stated to be my nemesis... I took my e-reader and read on a bit in a book I was reading. In the book I read the following sentence; "I mean it as a compliment when I say that you could almost define a philosopher as someone who won't take...
