Still waiting for school

Saturday, me and my dad went for a guy's night out. Mainly we went bookshopping mainly, which was good for me since I like books. This is a list of the books I got.
  • First Edition of Dune, by Frank Herbert
  • The Oak and the Ram, by Michael Moorcock (Book Five in the Corum series)
  • The Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan
  • Dreamer of Dune, by Brian Herbert
  • Hearts in Atlantis, by Stephen King
  • Man of Two Worlds, by Frank and Brian Herbert

I also picked up some supplies for watercolours. I forgot to get flesh tones and brown. I'll have to pick it up sometime. Dad went to a stereo store, because he like's stereos. Then we went to a pud called the Fox and Fiddle and discussed a Dark Tower movie, well seven. I'd make it myself if I wasn't so against remakes of books into movies. People should make original movies.

I am liseaning to my yahoo radio and am liseaning to a song called Roland by a band called Interpol. I can't tell if it has anything to do with the Dark Tower series.

I got buttons somewhere on the internet about a week or so ago. They said that they'd be here in 8-10 buisness days. My mom says it's good we got them because I have something to look forward too for the rest of the shortly dwindling summer. This is a list of what the buttons say...

  • Warrior Poet X-ing
  • Define Interesting. Oh God, oh God, were all going to die!
  • I'm Aspie Get Used to It.
  • Something in Elvish
  • WWMD? What would Muad'dib do?
  • Something to do with my anarchist leanings

I'm liseaning to a guy called Tom Russell, who has an album called Love&Fear. I don't like the song, but it sounds like something my dad would. So I'm writing this down as a reminder.

Okay, that's all I can think of. Hope that the buttons get here soon. Till next post.

Waiting for School

So School is fast approaching and I have mixed feelings about it. What I really want to do is call over my friends for a great Dungeons and Dragons game in which we kill all kinds of orcs and creatures of Shadow and bad guys. I haven’t hade a real good Dungeons and Dragons game in a while. I’d really like to just not be the Dungeon Master and work completely on character creation, since I don’t think I’m that good on being the DM. Maybe I could get a good DM in College or something. Anyway, I feel I’ve got some good stuff going for this adventure. I may even send it for publishing in Dungeon Magazine. I also plan on doing something with Vampire Bugbears for some reason.
Also, I will be going to get new art supplies this Saturday. Me and my dad are going to have a guys day and go to a used bookstore, get some watercolors and probably go to a stereo store and go to a movie. I hope to pick up some watercolors to do something with them, mainly since that is what Alex Ross works with and I really like his works. I also hope to have an effect similar to James Bama, who is another artist I admire.
In other news, Chinese citizens are increasing attendants at funerals by renting strippers. I do not kid. Click Here for more information, or just proof that I’m not lying to you. I can except that. It should make all the idiots in charge of the world trying to kill everyone disapear for a while.
Okay, that's it. Hope these links work

Oh God, oh God we're all going to die!

Just glanced through a copy of Adbuster's and it scarred the scrock out of me. The title I saw was called Culture of Death and it basically talked about how screwed we are, what with the environment screwing up and the wars in the Middle East and people out their are people saying that the world is going to run out of resources and civilization is going to collapse and right-wing nazi religious fanatics are going to take over the world and I don't want to die and I want people to look back on my writing and think, Hey he was a great writer.
I also fear that I am also part of the problem. I know I don't like all the shit that's happening in the world and I try to distance myself and bug my little sister about being a corparate slave to the American merchant-kings in New York or wherever they gather, but what if I'm just pretending to not be part of the problem. I watch TV and stuff. What If I'm just another mindless drone working away for the Man.
So what I'm basically worried about is wheather my entire life and existance is completely pointless. What if my entire works are burned by the Ruling Class? What if I never make my life works and end up with a desk job with a wife and 2.3 children. I don't want that.
I don't want to be part of any revolution either, and this makes me sick. The problem with the human mind is that we shift things away from us making it "Not-Our-Problem". A bunch of people see a woman being stabbed to death in teh street and what do we do. Nothing. It's Not-Our-Problem. But I still don't want to go up against the Man. I want the Man to go into a pit somewhere, curl up and die and just and do the collective of the human race a favour.
What I want is to live in a place where no one can bother me and the secure knowledge that people are being civilized and not blowing themselves up. I want to just sit somewhere in a nice temperate climate without any bugs were it's never to hot or cold and I can wear the Jacket of Ok-ness comfortably all year round. I want to live in a nice quiet cabin were I have enough room for my rapidly growing collection of books and a nice big open-air studio were I can paint. I want to come out with about a novel a year for the rest of my life which I hope to be very long. I want to have a small community of freinds who can play Dungeons and Dragons or some form of d20 Modern with me once every week. I want a girlfreind who I have minimal disagreements with and enjoys a good RPG, a good pie and a good book. That's all I really want. That and to meet Neil Gaiman, Stephen King and Michael Moorcock who are officially my favorite living writers. At least I'm pretty sure Michael Moorcock is still alive. He's just really quite, I think. Or the universe hates me and he's dead.
Basically, I want a peaceful Earth that leaves me the hell alone. A small circle of freinds including my soul mate who play D&D with my once ever week, to put out a novel every year or so and my own place. That's it. I don't know if that's to much to ask for. I don't think it is.
Oh, by the way this is the 300th post on The Aspie Diaries.

Feelings of Lonliness, Two Jones sodas and a Brownie (in a tree)

For most of the morning I was overcome with a big feeling of aloneness and since my mom started asking about it know it's started to settle in a bit. Basically, I think I can attribute it to this dream I have but I didn't really say anything about. To finally get it out, I will speak of it know.
The Dream I hade Last Night
I can't remember all the details, but I was at this big outdoor thing that was like a museaum and there was a family of black people who I think were from a small tribe in Africa or something and they lived their in a rectangular pit. I was with a bunch of other people and we played or talked with them. I was afraid to fall into the pit however. Then I remember that I was with a bunch of people and we were having fun or something.
Then I saw that the African tribe family had built a much larger pit for themselves with some sort of water system, but the mother looked very depressed.
I keep on thinking that one of the people I was with was Larry Underwood from The Stand. He looked exactly like I would think Larry Underwood would look like. I also remember one of the characters was mentally challenged, so I could have been with the cast of The Stand. The tribe we saw could be a refrence to the end of the expanded edition. I won't give it away in fear of ruining it for someone.
Then I saw one of the charcters (I think it was Larry Underwood) trying to talk to the other people from the group in a school environment, but none of them felt like talking or were busy.
There. That is the dream, at least all I can remember. I think my dream may have hade something to do with a subconcious fear of being alone. I believe that Larry Underwood in the last part of the dream represented me, because I related to him most in the novel. The fact that no one was talking to him could mean that I am subconciously afraid that I will not be able to see me freinds when I go back to school.
Anyway, to deal with this I went to a local coffee shop to do some writing. I got a brownie, a cookie, a glass of water and two Jones sodas. I wrote a bit of a novel and a bit of a short story. My dad is putting a desk together in my room. I just thought I should update on this. Bye.

Ralph's blog is up

Ralph know has his own blog. You can go to it by clicking here.

Happy Birthday Krishna

Today is Krishna Janmaashtami, the day that Hindu's celebrate the birth of Krishna. For those of you who are not in the know, Krishna is the eight avatar of Vishnu. He's really big in Hinduism. I don't know how old Krishna is.
Emotionally today, I feel kind of sad. I don't know why, but I feel sad.
Well, nothing really important was happened recently. I got some new buttons for the Jacket of OK-ness, having to do mainly with peace and stuff. Besides getting a collection of articles from the World Weekly News and having my baby cousin over that is the only interesting thing that happened. Just felt like informing you.

Writer's Back

Hello. Did I say that I would post the minute I got home, because I didn't.
Well, the cottage trip was alot of fun. At first it was just me and my immediate family and no electricity. Canadians may have heard of that, but I don't know if Americans like Stepth knows that the power went out in Muskoka, which is cottage country.
Anyway, the power returned fairly quickly and we watched a movie called "Grizzly Man" about a guy named Timothy Treadwell who lived with Grizzly Bears in Alaska before being eaten by one. He is a really odd guy and it was fun using my knowledge of psychology to figure out what was with him. Basically, he needs the bears more then he needs them. It made me nervous, because I kind of related with him as I saw us as both having alot of difficulty with status quo society. It's not like I'm going to go live with bears or anything, but it kind of scared me that I may end up like that.
Anyway, I was able to go to a small book store while I was their where I bought the following books.
  • The Eyes of the Dragon, by Stephen King
  • The Shining, by Stephen King
  • A Voyage to Arcturus, by David Lindsay
  • The Bull and the Spear, by Michael Moorcock
  • The Sword and the Stallion, by Michael Moorcock
  • A Thief of Time, by Tom Hillerman

And that's all I feel like talking about. Goodbye.

Near-Midnight Post

Hey. I have a lot to fill you in on and not much time so here it goes.
First, saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It was really, really good. I want the line "Where is that monkey, I want to shoot something," on a t-shirt. For any of you animal rights activists, the monkey is already undead so you can’t shoot it. Don’t ask me why the monkey was unaffected by the curse. My guess is that he got one of the coins out after it was fulfilled and re-cursed himself. Also, they leave it open for a sequel and has a great surprise twist. Can’t wait for the one with Keith Richards.
Second, I finished watching Samurai 7, the anime series based on the classic Japanese action flick The Seven Samurai, later to be remade in America as The Magnificent Seven, and rewritten for the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King as The Wolves of Calla (Haven’t read that one, will once I get past Wizard & Glass). I plan on adding elements of it in my big novel about the Apocalypse. It’s a good series and a must see.
Third, I hade my hair trimmed. Not cut, trimmed. At least that’s what my mom says. I am so whipped.
Last, I’ll be away for the next week or so trying to come up with my next short story. Steph is already reading it and I hope to hear from her soon. I also plan on doing a lot of reading, swimming and boating. I’ll see of I can tell you what will happen.
See yeah.

RALPH’S NOTICE
Hello Humans. Just here to tell you that I’ll be setting up my own blog in the next week. Hope to here from you.
