Oh well, it's probably best to stay away from those dark alleys anyway!


And, of course, if you find yourself shadowed by a large penguin, even in broad daylight I suggest you be very evasive. They can be very tricky and the common belief that they cannot fly is mere urban legend. You know quite well that it's been proven that bumblebees are not airworthy and I can assure you that on several occasions I have actually seen one or two take flight. Most of the older ones usually take a cab to nectar centers but the younger ones can be quite lively. Thus it is with penguins.

lol!

Yes, I've experienced the results of the bodily functions of birds when I've been unlucky enough to be below their flight path. So I'll certainly be taking your advice to stay clear as best I can. Of course it depends on the speed in which they can fly and whether or not their eyesight is as keen as other birds. I'm hoping those years of enduring the reflection of the sun on the ice may prevent them from seeing me. I'm not keen on offering myself up to them just so they can avenge their misguided perception of a certain doom.

And I didn't know that about the bumblebees.

Part of the long debate about bumble bees can be seen at http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2008/0 ... t-fly.html.

There is no question about flying penguins. See http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1253908/flying_penguins/

Luckily I have heard that penguin turds are quite aerodynamic and once released in flight they tend to sail up, not down and are soon lost in the clouds. So,,not to worry. There is some talk about clouds of penguin turds shielding the Earth from sunlight and opposing Global Warming and perhaps Obama is holding this as top secret to permit legislation on warming to get through Congress.

Penguins cannot fly. The wing is to small to provide the life.

The Pope seems to be doing pretty well by it.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on in this post. lol But I've finally figured it out! You've answered your own question twice with two very contradictory statements.

I'd say a relationship with one's chosen god sounds so much more appealing than most other relationships one could be in baby.

Christmas is Aspie Hell.

Talk about relationships and hardships.

Alone In the woods like an animal, must be easier.

I'm just afraid I would soon die from failure to properly look after myself.

"I don't want to die in the woods like a dumb animal, Like a dumb animal." (Millers Crossing)


Such a life I lead, filled with painful contradiction.

Maybe a go with religion would be just the thing.

No I don't think so. But maybe, probably not though.

Sometimes I wish things flew over my head just like everyone else (NT's).

To be stupid must be so easy. Oh well I got to take it hard. :(

Maybe a little time to meditate and reflect will help me recharge, Gotta do something cause the chaos of Christmas has lit me on fire.

bigblock, That sounds so sad. I seriously can't figure how people still do the Christmas thing (and anything like it). In my opinion we are each (aspies, NTs alike) so complicated that we really shouldn't be complicating things further by being in each others' presence.

I hope you find some sort of coping mechanism soon - something that causes the least amount of harm to both yourself and others.

Woops, slipped there. . . Um yeah . . . so . . .

Ok, SporadSpontan, thank You for the understanding. So um yeah I wrote that didn't I ?

Here is the shortest explanation I can come up with... here it is...

Music, that's my technique... Got out of the funk already, and am already feeling detached from that last post I slipped out.
Of course I do respect animals for their instinct driven natures. . . Like when you try you can see GOD in their eyes even though they are merely animals. Animals live in the woods. I want to move into the woods in a Nice camper If my life falls apart (When my wife can't deal with me anymore or I give up). I also am concerned about the meaning of my existence. Years ago I decided to be a DAD, so I married a Lovely NT woman. Now we both have our hands full, but we found meaning in our lives. (I am a capable role model, but I have never been able to tune into my wife's channel). I look after my family but in order to live this normal Life one has to be as tough as nails yet as nonchalant about the "Little Stuff" as everyone else. Which is almost impossible for me to do. Although both of my sons carry my characteristics I have passed on my body and nature into the littlest one. He is my life after death. Anyways I need to be there for my sons, the worst reason but one I am most afraid of is the person who would come in and take my place, could not live up to my ethical and moral standards. I think my purpose in life would become the most painful life one could live [watching my flesh and blood suffer at new Dad's lack of understanding.( NTs don't seem to understand aspies, and don't like being outsmarted)]. So I think It would almost be best for me to be weekend Dad by postcard from the woods where I can find peace.

I don't know what she thinks. I just read her face which is uniquely stone. But when I'm being hit with fallacy I respond with condescension in my tone and hate myself for it. Not cool. So that's how we dance. Its just not healthy.

I hopped on this site in the middle of one of these dances (I'm kinda being shunned), and wrote down what I may need to do eventually (for my own sanity) and my deepest fears about it. oops, seemed alright at the time.

Yep and this is Aspergers... not Fun

But too much about me.

God in a doG?

What do you think?

To do with religion and God.

I don't blame anyone or thing for the troubles in my life. Its what it is.

hello?

hey bigblock, sorry to hear of your predicament. One of my brothers experienced similar. He was the only one of my siblings to ever get married - NT lady, plus 3 boys who are currently in denial about the whole aspergers thing. Anyhow he lost it, now he's homeless (a bit like a wild animal in the woods!). But I know that was always his fear too - that his boys wouldn't be raised with his moral standards.

Organized public practice of religion is one of the misfortunes of or existence. It has brought misery, ignorance, destruction, division, hatred and death. If I believed in Satan, I would say religion as we practice it is one of Satan's inventions.
