STAND UP w/ Pete Dominick - 12/27/2010
This is very exciting, but I felt completely rattle brained for over an hour after this phone call. Pete cut me off unexpectedly. I was startled, and a little disappointed. I understood right away, it's nothing personal; but instinctively it felt like a punch in the gut. Like my friend who works in Hollywood says, nobody is ever completely happy with their performance. Just gotta do it, and move on to the next thing.
I am so glad I was able to hear the replay, and record it on my new digital voice recorder. It was a pretty good call and Pete was a true gentleman, as always. He is a real breath of fresh air. Most of the political talk show hosts that in America for the past 20 years are just plain jerks.

The Aspie Community Question
"The barometer of where one is on human rights questions is no longer the black community, it's the gay community, because it is the community which is most easily mistreated." -Bayard Rustin, 1986
"The Aspie community is even more easily mistreated." - Erik Anderson, 2010

ASPIENESS!!! PLEASE READ!
Many of those with Asperger's syndrome have a number of positive characteristics, including integrity, intelligence, endurance, and freedom from prejudice.
Trustworthy and Reliable
Most people with Asperger’s are dependable and loyal. They don’t play games or force others to live up to demanding social expectations. Aspies have no hidden agendas and no interest in harming others or taking advantage of their weaknesses. They are not inclined to lie to, steal from, or attack the reputations of those around them. Aspies are not likely to be bullies, con artists, or social manipulators, and girls with Asperger’s syndrome are less inclined to be fickle or bitchy than their neurotypical counterparts. While some people with Asperger's may lash out when provoked, they are unlikely to launch unprovoked attacks, verbal or otherwise.
Aspies like to spend time alone and are perfectly capable of entertaining themselves. While most like to have friends, their need for social contact is not usually as strong as that of ordinary people. Because they are not motivated by an intense social drive to spend time with anybody who happens to be available, they can be selective, choosing honest, genuine, dependable people who share their interests.
Free of Prejudice
Aspies are very accepting of the quirks and idiosyncrasies of others. Most don’t discriminate against anyone based on race, gender, age, or any other surface criteria, but instead judge people based on their behaviour. They don't usually recognize hierarchies, and so are unlikely to accord someone superior status simply because that person is wealthy or has attained a high position in an organization.
Those with Asperger’s can listen to people’s problems and provide a fresh perspective, offering pure assessments based on the the information provided, untainted by the judgments that people often make regarding one another's social position or social skills. Others can relax and be themselves around an Aspie without fearing social censure.
High Integrity
Aspies will not go along with the crowd if they know that something is wrong. Most stick to their positions, even in the face of intense social pressure, and their values aren't shaped by financial, social, or political influences.
Most Aspies have a good work ethic and pay attention to detail. Conscientious, reliable, and honest, many Aspies make very good employees if able to control their pace and work within either a solitary or socially supportive environment. Aspies are persistent, and when they set their minds to something or make a promise, they can usually be trusted to follow through.
Intelligent and Talented
Those with Asperger’s syndrome often have above-average intelligence, and many have one or more highly developed talents.
Enthusiasm and a propensity for obsessive research ensure that Aspies develop a broad and deep base of knowledge in subjects of interest. They loathe small talk and trivialities, preferring instead to talk about significant things that will enhance their knowledge base.
Because they have exceptional memories, those with Asperger’s can bring up a variety of interesting facts (though some of these facts will only be interesting to the Aspies themselves), as well as recalling fine details that others miss. They also bring a highly original perspective to problem solving, and their acute sensitivity may support creative talents as well.

Talking to the Wall and Calling It Poetry
You asked me a question
and then you told me
I didn't answer it.
But, you interrupted
me
before I could finish
to tell me that I didn’t finish.
and then you told me
I didn't answer it.
But, you interrupted
me
before I could finish
to tell me that I didn’t finish.

Lines
"They have lines, right here, down their face. For some reason, people with Asperger's seem to look like me and have bags under their eyes. Like, they have this look on their face, like, you know, "fuck this", and that's how I look. That's the normal look...most people with Asperger's seem to have that look. That tired, been thinking too much, not getting enough sleep look."

TheMainMeal on Miserable Men Show - 9/12/2010
I saw this hilarious video yesterday. It was so good that I posted it on a few of my friends' facebook pages.
One of those friends is Sirius/XM Radio Personality Shuli Egar. I had a feeling he would like it, so I decided to listen to the Miserable Men Show on Howard 101, hoping there might be a chance to hear it. And they did.
I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. My neck was hurting.
