Some time ago, being horse-obsessed, I rented the movie "Moondance Alexander." For those of you who haven't seen it, it is about a lonely teen who comes in contact with a horse who turns out to be good at jumping. Moondance's mother is a hippie who barely ekes out a living selling artwork...
A few weeks ago someone in my bike club pulled me aside when we stopped to rest and said he needed to apoligize to me because he said some things about me before he got to know me. He said he wanted to tell me that before I heard about it from someone else. I thought he was going to say about...
You ought to write a book! Has anyone ever said that to you? Chances are, if they have, they have no idea of what goes into writing a book.
I have had people tell me that many a time. So one day I wrote a book (actually it took 10 years). That was the easy part. Where is that book today...
I have been reading a remarkable book by Malcolm Gladwell called "Outliers", which examines why some people succeed and others do not. There's been a lot of garbage written on the subject, mostly along the lines of "I made it, so can you." This book isn't like this. For anyone wanting to know...
Recently I bought the movie "Secretariat". I was a teenager when the big red horse made his stunning triumph in the Triple Crown races back in 1973. At that time I was obsessed with horse racing and horses in general. You might blame it on reading too many "Black Stallion" novels, but...
I bought 44 new songs for my iPod. I set up an account for iTunes and started buying right away--there have been songs I've wanted to download for ages! I've bought:
"Stop To Love" by Luther Vandross
"Crush On You" by The Jets
"Round And Round" by Selena Gomez
"Your Love Is My Drug" by...
Okay, I'm 20 and I still like kids stuff. I like cartoons, especially the classic ones on Cartoon Network. And I like to watch the old episodes of Barney, like the ones I watched until I was 9. I mostly watch G and PG-rated movies because I'm most comfortable watching them. And I still read...
This is something I have been sitting on a while. I don't expect it to mean anything to anyone but me. I'm just throwing it out ther into the universe.
Things I believe, subject to change.
I believe there is a higher power. Be it gods, God, Goddess, Creator, however you personally see it...
Back in the Seventies there was a song by Kenny Rogers called "The Gambler." The chorus went something like this, "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run . . ." That song used to irritate me every time I heard it. What kind of...
Last spring I was looking at the bulletin board outside my favorite coffeehouse when I saw that the community theater was going to put on a production of Hair and was looking for people to audition. Since I missed the "Age of Aquarius" by only a few years (by the time I had the means to run off...
Wel, im trying to get in to the working life, but its not that easy.
its hard to find something that i whould like to work with, this country has almost entierly offshore and industry jobs. ive done that and didnt like it too much.
So now i want to try out security, ive applied in Securitas...
I see a very challenging future ahead for those of us with ASD's. For whatever reason, ASD's are on the increase. This is already putting a strain on our school systems as they strive to accommodate us. I grew up in the bad old days when there wasn't a whole lot of accommodation and the...
I've been at UCA (University for the Creative Arts) for a few months now. Really enjoying it so far. I've made two good friends there too.
I'm finding it really difficult to socialise properly - but I've virtually thrust myself into the deep end by getting elected as the LGBT Students'...
There is another meme on Facebook in support of a trigger. There are pictures of cartoon figures replacing profile photos left and right. Cartoons from the 80's and toons from the 90's are proving most popular. This move of profile images is intended for "awareness." It's also to "fight child...
How can I deal with this frustration and anger towards things l really can't change. I can change things, but they will take awhile, considering I am trying to look for something a bit more of a set schedule. Plus I hate having to deal with strangers. I had myself all amped up and upset about...
Hello, I'm new here and interested in networking with other aspie type couples.
This was my first week back in work and I had to drag my feet a bit as a result of the extended holiday period.:no:
Wishing you all a good 2011....:P
Please do introduce yourself to me here and make 2011 memorable...
I haven't achieved what I have longed for, but I am hopeful. I am not anything special, but I believe with getting everything in order I will be on the right track. I was hopeful to find companionship/ boyfriend, but honestly if it happens it happens. I am not too worried. I like my bubble and...
It's been a while since my last blog entry but I thought I'd kick this out here and take the chance to wish you all a merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Whatever you do, try your best to enjoy it and spend it with the people you love. Soak up the good feeling and really make an...
This Christmas we decided not to get a tree, and other than hanging the wreath on our door we haven't decorated at all. I really haven't felt like doing much of anything, and today we went and bought the few small gifts for the kids in the family, and quite frankly there wasn't much feeling...
Today's topic I'm going to talk about is relationships only because I know this person who really likes that person and as far as I know, it's going round like a continous loop so I thought I'd bring up my own opinion on relationships.
Well relationship now a days, it's like nobody really...
