Oh, makes sense.

.....


James brown...He did a cnn interview once, i think he was incoherent, it's on youtube, might have been 'intoxicate.'
He's from Georgia, i think. Was very rich, owned radio station.
In 68, after MLK was assassinated, pleaded with concert goers to not riot.
And the city he played was spared public disorder. (It was broadcast on radio, live, i think. Chicago, maybe, or Boston. :huh: )
That got him political notice with LBJ administration.
As far as legal cases, I think he was caught for speeding or shooting a car out in 88 or something.
Maybe road rage, or domestic incident. He went to jail briefly for it, i think.
Rick James on the other hand....round the same time, well he known fro that time he tied up a woman held her hostage and burned her.
And other debauched stuff...I think his career imploded after that.
Also known for being a habitual line stepper and just around crazy and out of control.
Cocaine was very popular pastime in the 80s' amongst celebrities, it seems.

I hate to-do lists. They always seem like a good idea. Yet whenever I finish writing a list, I have no motivation to actually follow it. So it sits there, mocking me. There's always that one task that sticks around, that you keep putting off. Or there's a task that I want to do, but it would make more sense to do the other tasks first, but now I don't want to do any of it because my brain wanted to do that specific task and doesn't want to do any of it now if it can't do that first. So I have to change the plan and throw everything off schedule.

Just...it's so easy to get caught up trying to correctly structure it and make it as logical as possible, but it's ineffective because it kills the actual drive to go ahead with the plan. So, how do I get my tantrum-throwing brain to co-operate? I can't just set fire to all my plans, but I can't plan myself to boredom either otherwise all progress remains theoretical. Hmm. Time to find some new approaches.

Swaps are getting more successful.
I know what I want ​to take now. I'll just be careful about repercussions and don't overdo it...

For now my focus is elsewhere.
And everyone else will have theirs'.

Every time Disney screws up a business practice or puts out a bad movie, it doesn't matter how many people boycott or whatever. There will always be a population of idiots sitting around licking Mickey Mouse's ***** all day long.

I like to journal and I use a fountain pen and paper to make it more enjoyable to me. When working, I had to maintain a journal, otherwise I would never get anything completed or remember what meeting was with who about what and why I needed to do something.

Using a fountain pen is like having a relationship with a love. I also have relationships with watches and specifically bought a watch that required winding. The one watch to rule them all, something I could will to someone or not. There were a couple studies with students that used fountain pens or computers for taking notes during lectures. The fountain pens had a higher grade trend. When you write cursive with a fountain pen, you have to think about the nib movement. I also have a collection of pens but only use a couple of my favorite nibs and ink. I once bought a daily planner from a Hobonichi planner company with Japanese phrases, poems, etc (in English). Writing in this planner was like ....well, almost sex.

I joined a Discord server for autistic people, and now I have to re-figure out how to converse with people who already know each other and that are inclined to ignore me. :huh:

I'm bored, I don't know what to do, and I am lonely and don't have any friends. But at least I am listening to good music.

Oh no, I was thinking about joining a server and was worried about that happening. Has it got any better? Could set up a new one?

Rather you than me, that's for sure. I hate writing in cursive and I smudge fountain pen so easily. Plus I dislike watches. Especially ones that tick. My hearing is so sensitive that I've been able to find people hiding in a room by following the sound of their watch. I dislike analogue clocks and find digital clocks much easier to read. Analogue clocks that don't have numbers or have roman numerals are especially annoying, I find it tricky to figure out what the time is in such situations. Likely due to my (suspected) dyscalculia and my visual processing issues (confirmed by tests done by two academic advisers, but no concrete diagnosis provided).

I'm pretty certain that I never used to be as obsessed with the weather as I am these days.

Been going through a nasty depressive episode for over a week. I skipped dinner today and I haven't been eating or sleeping well.

This is me in a nutshell. Music's what keeps me going sometimes.
