Be The Change

By Orion on Fri, 12/14/2012 - 7:37pm |

Work and working has been on my mind alot recently and I think it's important to remember this today. It is important to grieve but while we are all here on this earth, we need to do our own initiative to make things better for ourselves and others.

There are food banks, charities, homeless shelters, all sorts of place in which you can go to do the exact opposite of what occurred in that Connecticut elementary school. I'm trying to do the best besides my writing to make sure everything else I do with my time benefits others.

It doesn't take a genius to see something is really wrong with this country.

Chaos And Change

By Orion on Thu, 12/13/2012 - 3:54pm |

Despite the bleakness of my last post, I'm feeling all right - much better, in fact. My life is far from perfect but it is getting there. Alot of things are on me, I'm dealing with the responsibility of it all. My brain went in one really, really dark place and it's taken a lot of fighting - kicking, screaming and biting - to get out of that place.

Well To Do And On Welfare?

By Orion on Tue, 12/11/2012 - 7:18am |

I'm on SSI. I have been for some time.

For those who don't know, SSI is Supplemental Security Income. It puts about $700 in my bank account at the beginning of each month. I spent most of my "adult" life taking it in along with small amounts of cash from various writing gigs. I didn't have a dad growing up at all and I certainly had no kids, so having to answer up to any other family members was certainly nothing I was used to. That was enough money for me alone and still is.

No More Asperger's?

By Orion on Wed, 12/05/2012 - 3:20am |

There is a manual that psychiatrists use in their profession to diagnose patients according to the symptoms they demonstrate. It's called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. It's the Bible of psychiatry and it now seems that the disorder I got pinned with is no more:

Confession of a Nihilist

By Orion on Sat, 12/01/2012 - 8:08am |

I've been looking through some of my old writing and took a look at my resume and the various political/publishing jobs that I performed. Something became really, really clear.

I was a nihilist. A cold, non denominational nihilist.

Romney Won The White Vote!

By Orion on Fri, 11/30/2012 - 12:26pm |

This is so ridiculous. Apparently Romney advisers are bragging about having gotten white people secured in their camp.

I have had some wild adventures in the last few years. I've lived amongst poverty, in poverty, amongst wealth and in wealth. I think that my eclectic experiences can explain a few things about the "Romney voter."

Tips For Asperger's

By Orion on Wed, 11/28/2012 - 8:19am |

I know full well that Asperger's syndrome and autism spectrum disorders are probably not known very well to people on this group. This post is aimed at people with the disorders but I posted it here because I thought that it might actually help create understanding to let you guys see the Aspie POV.
