aspie ranting

If I seem a little distant or incoherent, it's because I am. I am not a NeuroTypical and I have no desire to become one. This is simply the area in which I stim my creative impulses.

30 September. St Jerome's Day. Jerome (342-420) is generally credited with having translated the Bible into the Vulgate (Latin); however a large part of the work was done by Paula and her daughter Eustochium after they all had settled in Bethlehem in 386. They worked on the translation and, when Jerome submitted his translations to them for correction and amendment, polished up his work as well. The work was finished about 404. Although Jerome dedicated a great number of his translations to the two women, later scholars erased their names and substituted the words "learned brothers."

energy

happy anniversary

 
nobody seems to think I matter
even though I'm made up of it
don't forget
all that energy

"Is it worth it can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free

So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this

And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance the night away

As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there"

trite
and you laugh
at me
like I won't kill you
if you don't
turn it around

respite
the interval
is dangerous
keep up the silence
and you won't
make it out
alive

it won't be long until
you face the day
wake up in cold sweats
in your careless way

 
no matter how many people
say "we'll always be friends"
there's only one who still calls me
just to talk...

who thinks of things like this?

I like to...

 
17 September. Feast Day of St Hildegard, one of the greatest scholars of the twelfth century. St Columba, who shares the day, is a spurious canonisation of Aphrodite.

 
*grins* and the day that nobody truly appreciates...

In 1859 the Englishman Joshua Norton announced himself Emperor of the United States, and a proclamation was published by the San Francisco Bulletin. He attended different religious services on a rotational basis so as not to offend anyone, ordered cessation of the Civil War hostilities, and paraded the city inspecting his subjects, who paid rent for his lodging house.

Ostracods are very sexy animals. They have the second longest sperm in the animal kingdom. A one-millimetre ostracod can produce a single sperm that is 10mm long. It clearly has to have special equipment to deal with this sperm and it doesn't have one penis, it has two.

Clearly all their apparatus is geared to sex. A male ostracod one millimetre long has a penis one third the size in volume of its entire body and it has two of them. So it gives a lot of attention to sex.

 
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves "who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the Universe. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do... we were born to make manifest the Universe that is within us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Have you been holding back? When you really think about it, aren't there a million ways you can make today a more amazing day than yesterday, for yourself and others? I don't mean to come on all preachy, but seriously -- we create this world, not the bastards who think they're in charge, and therefore we need to make it amazing.

why are you bored? why are you jaded?



 
Have you ever made love and it felt so good it seemed dangerous?
Being in love means really wanting to live in a different world;
a more exciting world; a more beautiful world; a more joyous, carefree world;
A world where everything matters and nothing is ever, ever dull.


 
Why should I have to suffer at the hands of the drug war supporters?
That makes my life collateral damage in their stupid crusade.

so burn

 
nobody is safe...
not with me, not from me, not around me...

the death she feels will come suddenly,
but not without warning...


 
it is a simple matter
of good form, etiquette,
and
to love like this is a sin


 

Sitting here
Loving like this


Alone again
After that magnificent storm
Of Your presence just
Passed,


I
Whose face and form
Your beauty
Ruined.


Why not accuse you
Of lying
To hide the ways you
Eroded my spirit


When every
Living spirit
Would gladly
Testify


On
My
Behalf.



 

No
One
In need of Love
can grab my
hand and
live


No
Thing
can hold me
close for
I can't help
but
burn


No
Where
can you ever find
the part of me
you fell for
we fell
together

Wilde, like a stallion, loved a boy
and counted the rosary of prison years
repenting every werewolf kiss
middle-aged need had bestowed upon youth

in a city of lonliness, Edgar Allen Poe
starved his soul till his skin bleached white

William Hierens wrote in lipstick on a wall
the secret language of our century
and a little girl's body chopped in four
he left behind for tabloids and the priests

the perverse poet in the London fog
Jack wrote in blood six odes to love

the infant Hitler was deprived of love
andm through processes that a Jew named Freud
has taught us all to understand
six million people later died

Ravechal, who threw bombs in restaurants
said, "There are no innocent bourgeoisie."

and not until the blade of time
can shave selfishness from the poor self's need
will the need for love be a loving thing
and the naked flesh not a naked cage

I am in a state of unimpression
and I am underwhelmed
love lost, lost love
amazing what graces
and adorns my holy wall

 
they hate me because my IQ is at least a genius level above the norm,
so I'll show them my binary 4

maybe 75 points between me and your best contender
you ostriches call me a pretender

Monday, September 09, 2002
 
can you feel your words
heating through me like
a runaway arsonist's
deepest fantasy?

can you feel your words
stabbing trough me
like Jack the Ripper's
left handed slashes?

can you feel your words
eat their way inside out
like a maggot's banquet
am I the main course?

can you feel your words?

I can't see you from this distance
and the view is spectacular
but cold
so cold

 
you'll always be inside...
you're the enemy,
but you're nobody
(who always has someone)

and you'll forget me
even though I was your first

experience
decadence
erasure
closure

"Munificent, artless and ascetic
Playing like a scared
Enthusiastic pawn"

-- After All These Years, by Silverchair

 
"I fondle keys to my heart when everyone's heart
Seems so calm
And you found the lock
To my dorm and opened the door to my trust
Fund�. my vestry
The light in my darkest hour is fear
Denies me of anything good sooo��.
Don't lose your heart you'll need it
You'll have to take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine.

Take everything that you're not and don't be so
Scared to tamper (temper) with (temper) "tampered with" evidence (tamper)
Coz you'll come along for the sun if you come at all
To lose your heart you'll have to take, take and take.

Painting a lie seeing the colours but you seem
Closer to everything

Closer now than we ever have been
We're closer now than we ever should (we) be
Closer now than we've ever been before
Closer to everything

Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things
It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine
For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything
To all of the animals who keep sipping the sweat
From my back,
You're making me ill
And
I can't get enough
So take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine."

"Discussing exo-psychology with a yokel is like discussing sexual experiences with a pre-adolescent. SHe just can't understand the new reality because Hir neural circuits have not been turned-on. And SHe may turn you in for philosophic child-molesting.

Sooner or later the larval is going to realize that, after the exciting flight conversation, SHe is going to remain grounded. At this point the yokel can become passionately moralistic, attacking the post-terrestrial for being elitist, callous to human suffering, anti-human, escapist, or even diabolical."

*shakes his head* why do I think so highly of these fucking stupid beings? I forget sometimes...

 
(and here I was being nice
because I thought you could love me)

nothing left to hold back
I've fucking cracked

you're in danger now
and you thought falling was painful

 
Captain Clark welcomes you aboard...

 
maybe you think I'm condescending
just because you constantly look up to me.


 
"there is not a single part of you that i could ever love again. you're ridiculous."
-- Shannon, about 30 seconds ago

 
I chalked it up to bad aim,
but you never miss.
even with my eyes closed,
your perfect piercing glare
always penetrates me
and I'm entranced like
the first time a moth sees a campfire.

I chalked it up to my psychoses,
but I'm stark raving sane (well maybe not).

sanity is a compromise
you thought I caved in
but I'm the one who's moving on
and you're still wrapped up in
your "happenstance" circumstance

love is all around you
and you keep your back turned
erasing (through lies) the only real things
you've ever known

wrapped up in delusion
wrapped up in illusion
closing off to the truth

Lose me again
Open your heart and
Venture a guess, but
Emotion like this won't be found again...

You cry (and try to numb) yourself
Out of what you deserve...
Underneath it all, you're dead anyway

 
"So this is odd,
the painful realization that has all gone wrong.
And nobody cares at all,
and nobody cares at all.

So you buried all your lover's clothes
and burned the letters lover wrote,
but it doesn't make it any better.
Does it make it any better?
And the plaster dented from your fist
in the hall where you had your first kiss
reminds you that the memories will fade.

So this is strange,
our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance
where nobody leads at all,
where nobody leads at all.

And the picture frames are facing down
and the ringing from this empty sound
is deafening and keeping you from sleep.
And breathing is a foreign task
and thinking's just too much to ask
and you're measuring your minutes by
a clock that's blinking eights.

This is incredible.
Starving, insatiable,
yes, this is love for the first time.
Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.
Yeah, well weren't we all once
before we felt loss for the first time?
Well this is the last time.
This is the last time.
This is the last time."

-- The Brilliant Dance, by Dashboard Confessional

is it ever the last time?

 
"It's just like you to contest
you wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
in your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise

I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it what I need?
I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it within me?

It's hard to explain how I am
getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe that I would
let myself get so wrapped into you
There's got to be something
that would be worthwhile for me to give to you
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you

The harder I push the further I fall
Well you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always,
always,always,always,always be wrong

It's just like you to contest
you wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
in your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise

I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it what I need?
I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it within me?

It's hard to explain how I am
getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe that I would
let myself get so wrapped into you
There's got to be something
that would be worthwhile for me to give to you
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you,from you,from you,from you

The harder I push the further I fall
Well you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always,
always,always,always,always be wrong, be wrong

Try not to be
Try not to be
Try not to be
Try not to be wrong
Try not to be wrong"

half-expected delusions

deus ex machinatus

Sunday, September 01, 2002
 
odd how you always fit
into my plan
and my planh
and you never wanted a part
or parcel

and you, whom my very presence sickens,
I see you fading from view
out of earshot
and I always get an earful

is this another of her thievous games?
her grievous games?
sweet bitch, you eat me
you secret thief
you secret chief
you'd never kill me because
you sap me dry
again and again and again
in your perpetually perspicuous pretense
and you think you know of love.

your rotten regalia reeks
of dying
and we are not verisimilar

I think myself guiltless
for loving you
while you force-feed me
strychnine and sadness
as idle refreshment

I acted as a tyrant, at your first infidelity...
I wanted you to hate me. I wanted you to
regard me as loathsome
to help me to resist you

All that agony -- to no purpose!
Yes, you hated me more
(and more and more)
but my love never lessened

and your sufferings made your beauty more painful
and you would see the same
if you could force yourself to look at me

I would not say this, but you crush it out of me
your corrupt heart, content to expiate that which consumes us
and I sicken for you.

and now you see me as they see me
and your fears are realized
(unbeknownst to you)
you see
    the laughing ravisher of
a dozen dozen
girls, ready to cuckold any who would
fall bewitched at my feet...

I understand your distaste for me.
it is logical. Inevitable.
You have seen me relentless to hurt you.
But you never looked any deeper.
Yes, I did all that I could to
provoke you
into a fury of revulsion for me.
I even made a rule that your name
should never be pronounced in my presence.

but if the measured penalty for all this
were truly to match the motive,
if you matched only my hatred with that of your own
then I have earned no enmity from you

grasping to life
seizures or resentment and suspicion
collapse me

grant my words
perhaps a little more than their face value.
you know that this is a language
alien to me

my love speaks crudely, but do not reject it.
without you, I never could have known it.
and when passion boils, reason evaporates
and what is left becomes ossified
(like your hatred)

you never fooled me with your games
and you never will
I will not be enchanted
I will not be captivated (or am I?)

Could I be the exception?

 
she was, as always and in a word,

uberchic

she always fit that word to its
nonexistent "t"
she was the perfect dichotomy
(weren't we all?)
no, just her...
well, me too.

she never understood it,
and I probably didn't either,
that our mutual attraction was that looking at eachother was like looking
in the mirror
or a broken mirror
with shards reflecting bits and
pieces
of ourselves that we loved to hate to love.

was it ever real? was it out of love?
is it still?

everybody knows this is nowhere
and everyone but us sees that it
could only ever be
love.
