As I make peace with the falling away of my religious faith, I have been going to atheist YouTube channels and reading some threads which discuss religion.
I have been very surprised by some aspects of the atheist channels and by some of the posts by non-religious people. The number one thing I...
In 7th grade, I got a typewriter for Christmas (because my handwriting was so bad and a teacher told my parents I should have a typewriter).
I was out of school for Christmas vacation and had a new typewriter. So I wrote a short story. I put the story in one of my dresser drawers after it was...
I got up early today and have been reading a lot. And I've suddenly started crying.
I started crying for no reason. For no reason other than:
Reading an article on Medium entitled, “Your brain is constantly looking for rules.” — why autism is exhausting and diagnosis matters
I don't know why...
Since I am still very new to the topic of autism and to the likelihood that I am ASD1, I will be asking many questions on the Autism Forums discussion board.
I am concerned that it may seem as though I am trying to ascribe every single one of my quirks to autism, but allow me to assure the...
Martin Luther King: “In spite of these spectacular strides in science and technology, and still unlimited ones to come, something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance.”
The law is a...
A web of shame,
A spiders game.
How do we justify?
Try some more,
Esprit de corps.
Suppress the hue and cry.

The human mind is an awful thing,
In it's selfish dysfunctional glory.
For all it's sophisticated look,
The bottom line tends to be gory.
Left to it's own...
I got reminded of that David Bowie song.
Burnout and started crying at the office last friday. I had to leave early because i felt too angry.
I am crying now because i had to leave work. Bc of this office i got some self esteem, but the workload is too much for me. I feel so sorry for my...
Fairly tired today, I'm on a new round at work. A new area and clients always causes a degree of nervousness. But my anxiety for these new rounds has steadily declined. fact, there was only one location where I had high anxiety before starting, and it turned out to be a lovely round. Being...
I'm not blogging anywhere near as often as I used to. This morning I felt the urge to write, and it's only now, in the late afternoon that I figured I'd sit down and get started. Not that I haven't been sat in front of my computer all day as usual - because I have.
Went through some new music...

Remembering you and the feelings i felt at the time. Loving you was like paradise to me, with its good and bad.
I felt like now that i know there is someone like you in the world, someone with a heart of gold i can bear all the unhappiness i will endure from now on. Maybe i idealized you too...
I thought I saw a despot,
A shooting at a duck!
I looked again and saw it was,
A golden clusterphuck!
If ignorance enables it,
We'll look a right old schmuck!
The chutzpah of our leadership,
Just how much do they suck?
(and really just how much,
do you give a flying phuck?)
While all across...
Tonight has been a big one for me. Not because of an event or someone visiting.
Tonight is a big night because I am facing what I internally have feared for a long time. Failure. Or more specifically perpetual failure. Constantly expecting myself to fail somehow and avoiding to try entirely to...
When I was growing up I was really into The Sandman graphic novels (comics). My favourite character was Delerium. I relate to her on so many levels... Originally she was Delight until her brother Destruction did something that traumatized her and she became Delerium. I love her and her...
Love your mistakes, for that's all it takes,
To reach some enlightenment.
For each one you make is like tastiest cake,
Or wine with a perfect ferment.
Because so you see, eventually,
It's only by making these bloomers.
That you'll ever learn, to thus overturn,
The mistakes of the other...
This is my serpentine crystal egg, it's just as small as a small chicken egg.
I roll it around in my hand like a Chinese meditation ball
The crystals magic powers are supposed to bring you inner peace and help to get rid of chaotic emotional energy. Surprisingly it's doing just that.
I...
