This is a short tack-on to my previous entry about our broken system in America and the lies that are sold to perpetuate it. Most definitely, that is an entry that has lots of negative qualities. To some, it would sound like whining or making excuses. I suppose I didn’t want to end my morningContinue reading “What Really Matters”

Risk and Reward… or Punishment
INTRODUCTION“If you would have taken a big risk and worked really hard, then you would have gotten somewhere if you were really any good.” Someone actually told me this, to my face, when we were talking about the difficulties of getting into the “music business.” It felt as if they hadn’t listened to ONE thingContinue reading “Risk and Reward… or Punishment”
Back In Biz, Kinda
The replacement laptop showed up yesterday. It was by far better than I had anticipated. It has a touch screen, and it can bend backwards so that the screen can be used like a tablet. It is missing things I would need to make this a complete replacement, such as a CD-ROM drive, which meansContinue reading “Back In Biz, Kinda”
My Problem With Today’s Social Networking
The laptop will be here tomorrow, but I wanted to write about this today, so here we are! INTRODUCTION Facebook has always confounded and annoyed me. What really has bothered me most is why I can never get it to work. It’s not like I’m some kind of n00b. I got on AOL the dayContinue reading “My Problem With Today’s Social Networking”
The Aggressive Quest for Peace
Yes, I decided to attempt a long form entry on my phone. Let’s see how this ends up. INTRODUCTION There are many things that get in the way of peace. For some, there are more obstacles than there are for others. As an Autistic adult, my Autism can get in the way. My Autism alsoContinue reading “The Aggressive Quest for Peace”
A Short Update
One week ago, my computer died. A laptop is coming to the rescue. Until then, I have my phone and a Bluetooth keyboard to write if something comes to mind. A few friends I have do get concerned if I do not write, so this entry is partially for them. An interesting thing happened whenContinue reading “A Short Update”
Hi, How Are You?
INTRODUCTIONWhen I wake up in the morning, sometimes I’ll read through articles on my phone, in the Google news aggregator. Of course, there are stories from the day, as well as articles about mental health. There are even advice columns, such as the old-school Dear Abby, and the relatively new and similar Dear Annie. InContinue reading “Hi, How Are You?”
A Friday Ramble
It is 29F [-1.6C] outside, the air conditioner is set to 73F [22.7C], and I still have to turn the fan on and off in order to regulate temperature. Welcome to Oregon. Today is a kind of “blah” day. That’s the best way to describe it. No doubt, Major Depressive Disorder contributes to this. BeingContinue reading “A Friday Ramble”
Morons in Power
This Wednesday 4/11/22 will be the sixth anniversary of my being NOT gainfully employed. I’ve had a few crap jobs here and there, but nothing substantial. One day, a good friend tried to help me by setting up an interview with his boss. I am grateful for his attempt, and he is probably reading this.Continue reading “Morons in Power”
Tales From the Sorority
INTRODUCTIONWhen I first got to college in the fall of 1983, it was initially a very foreign experience. I was far away from home for the first time, and learned about how not fitting in gets extended beyond schools hours, into a 24/7 experience. It would be another 34 years before I would get myContinue reading “Tales From the Sorority”
