I just watched Cyberbully on Netflix. It kind of made me feel angry to watch. Everyone should watch this. I know there are going to be a lot of people after seeing it that think they are "bad ass.". It's kind of sickening, those people. They don't even realize that they are destroying themselves by bullying.
I've got a little righteous anger pouring out of my soul so allow me to take this time to address those with the "bad ass" or dumbass mentality.
Here's the thing. You are succumbing to the devil inside you. You've got this feeling that what you are doing is right for you. You are selfish. You think of your own ends. But what really happens in the end?
"Oh, it won't blow up in my face. Watch. See it didn't."
:) I'll keep watching. Watch your back. So one incident didn't hurt you. What about the next or the one after that? Your attitude towards others makes you keep doing it. Your experience makes you think your invincible. That's where my little snerk comes in. You build yourself up to believe you're ok, so you keep the stupid stuff up. And the. You fall. You fall so hard that you can't get up again.
But what do I know, right? I'm just a goody good that does nothing wrong. You see me and your jealous. You won't admit it, but your jealous. You have gotten beaten and scarred in fights. Word gets round, ya know. I don't say anything. You want to be like me or maybe not. I've got a good soul. Something you wish you had. But that's what you see.
I messed up a lot. We all do. Stop being so stupid an pick yourself up, bully. You can have all that I do, not that it's as much as it seems. Clean up your act. Talk to people. I'm not saying go to church or go see a therapist. I'm saying just to talk to people and ask them questions.
You may just find out more about yourself.

I Yam What I Yam
Popeye always said "I yam what I yam." That's all there is to it. We've all heard the lines about being ourselves over an over. It never really sinks into people till later in life and with some people much later.
A lot of things just don't stick into anyone. People stigmatize everyone. And then the one being stigmatized thinks there's no choice, but to be someone else and that never works either. It's too much work. Sure we can change a few things if necessary, but you still have to be you.
The jerks of this world seem to forget every time that everyone's different. Everyone has to be like him/her to even exist. It's like they're saying there's only one right way to be. Well, that doesn't work out, because the next person on his case has to tell him he has to be a certain way.
The only way to be is your way. Don't force yours on someone else. What does that do in the end? Either nothing or a false representation of the person you're shoving around.
I'm not claiming you have to be a certain way here. It's just the only thing that has to change and that's to quit complaining, because someone else doesn't live the way you do.

Aspies and One Way Thinking
I'll admit I can be quite illogical when I'm mad. When a computer or game gets me upset, I can proclaim that I alone am it's lord and master and that it should do what I make it do. Well that seems sort of logical right? I mean you push the buttons and move the mouse, right? Logic would then tell you that by virtue of the fact that when button 1 is pushed a programmed response to button 1 should therefore occur.
So therefore by simple logic, what I input should always come out right?
Wrong. This is a fallacy. And even now I am getting peeved by my iPhone for correcting my typing errors. I'm making so many mistakes when typing here.
Aha. That's it, right? I'm making the mistakes. I'm the one making false claims that I am perfect. But of course I'm not perfect. How can anyone claim that they are?
Well, here's my problem. A long line of "you're wrong"s and a whole lot of bull fed to me by NTs that I don't act like a normal person would. What is that supposed to mean? That everyone of those saying that is perfect? Please. It's just them throwing their judgement onto me, because they erred in some way, too.
Back on subject, since i am not perfect then then logically nothing else is, too. How can a computer make a mistake, though. Well in a way of speaking, it doesn't. Something is forcing it mess up if, in fact, it is messing up and I am not. Faulty programming? Worn out part? Damaged part? Name the reason. If it clearly isn't me, then it's one of those and I must be able to eliminate me from the equation before I can go any further.
So when I lose at a game, clearly it's usually my fault and I just don't live up to those gamers that I see as average when they might actually be more like pros.
The other thing is that I must accept that things break down or going wonky at times, because of what may be wrong with it at the time.
It's a hard thing for an aspie that is used to a strict one way street that we stick to. We hate it when things obstruct our path. Like I said, we stick to a one way street, us aspies. We don't see detours. We don't see forks in the road. We see one way and sometimes it's got rocks or boulders in the way.

Taboo Words...Why are some of them taboo?
I've had some questions linger in my head. Things I don't understand. Some people insist that in no way is there a reason to use certain words. Other say a little mild "language" is necessary at times. Me? I don't really get why many of them are really that bad or taboo to say.
I'm going to censor myself here for the sake of being respectable to those offended. That's my stance on it. Don't use it around people who don't like it. That's responsible and respectful to not offend.
"Da** it." Ok, so what is wrong with this word or phrase. Well, it's suggesting that one should send 'target' to he**. Ok, I suppose that's bad if you saying "Da** you" to someone. Even "Darn you" would be bad as "darn is nothing more than skirting around the other word. But just blaring our "Da**" or "Da** it" is just a way of expressing anger towards some thing or some situation. Why is this bad? That I cannot answer. Surely it'd be better not to be angry, but saying that doesn't change the fact that you're angry. It's just sort of a burst or release of anger. Maybe people should say it more often. I tend to think people are a little too conservative as they think that saying that word could lead to unfair or misdirected anger at a person. Maybe that's what it is. Either way, though. I think it's just find to blurt out "da**" when you hit your thumb with a hammer.
"He**" or "What the he**." He** is a bad place. No doubt. Surely saying "Go to he**" is vary inappropriate and damaging. But is blurting out "what the he**" that bad? Your direction isn't towards a person, but maybe an action or situation. The context of the word is not directly speaking of he** as in the place. It's merely a strong reaction to something. Again many will argue that the use would lead to saying something against a person, but it's one's own fault if they direct it at a person or use it in such a way to hurt someone else. Don't put the blame on the word, but on the way it is used.
"Fu**." Ok, so this word is offensive for an obvious reason as it is meant to be used as a lustful term for sex or fornication. Many would find this offensive. Agreeable? But what about some of it's other uses that are not said in the context of sex? For instance "what the fu**?" Same deal as "what the he**." They do not directly address their original meaning. Another use of the word is to be avoided. "Fu** you," for instance, is used to insult or throw anger at a person or people. Simply don't use it like that.
"Sh**." Another word and by the way what about "crap?" Does it not mean the same thing. Ok, so one is offensive and 'vulgar,' but the other is not. Bullsh**. It has the same meaning. It refers to fecal matter. Fecal matter is nothing more than the waste product of a person or animal. What's so offensive about it. It's a natural byproduct. And again it has the same meaning as crap. They're two words that mean exactly the same thing. What's the problem here?
Those are the main ones that I wanted to touch upon. There are many other words, too, but there's no point in talking about them.
What about movies? Are they really necessary in movies. Maybe, maybe not. I think it just shows what kind of character the people portrayed in the movie are like. Maybe they're the kind that swear a lot or cuss each other out. So is this bad to put it in a movie? Well, movies are violent sometimes and given the right context these movies are in as violence always seen as bad in the real world. Why should it be any different to have someone in a movie swear at someone else in anger? Do these things carry on from the movie to the real world? Only if you weren't brought up better than that. Movies are not influences. It's your friends and family and the people you are close to that are your influences.
I happen to believe that works of fiction need to use what they can, because they reflect how our world is. Film reflects real life many times. It's never the other way around.
But feel free to make an argument against these things. I likely won't take too much consideration as I've already made up my mind, but at least you can give me your reasons why not to use these words. Personally to me it's all context and target. And also not saying it around people that would be offended. Otherwise use them if you like. I don't see why they're harmful in certain contexts.

Old 16-bit Era RPGs
You have to admit RPGs aren't like they used to be. I like a lot of the new ones. They're great, but there are a lot of old ones that I never got around to playing. 8-bit, 16-bit, and even some of the 32-bit generation games. Turn based RPGs may be a thing of the past. Though, they may come back in new forms like console or even windows downloads, it's great to check them out all over again. I never did get to really play many of the old Final Fantasies of the 16-bit days. I'm reliving that with Final Fantasy 5. I want to get 6, too eventually. Another game I'm playing on my 3DS is the DS version of Chrono Trigger. Both of these old RPGs are bringing me back.
There are so many, I could probably play them for a long time to come. I could never finish them all while keeping up with the new. Yeah. There's enough to last me a lifetime, now. Secret of Mana, though action oriented, is an RPG that I'd truly like to get into again as well. Also there is Secret of Evermore. I haven't checked, but I'm hoping that I can get that as a Wii download.
The Phantasy Star series is another series I'd love to take a stab at. I did beat the third one and as a matter of fact I have that and the fourth installment on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for my PS3. Don't forget the Dragon Quest series as well. I remember the first one, known as Dragon Warrior, and there have been many since then. Wow. Just thinking of all of them that I could play, makes my head explode.
If your into all this RPG nostalgia your best bet is to get a DS or 3DS and play many that were ported onto the DS. Or get them on the Wii. Nintendo's got many. Even the Playstation Network has some old ones that were previously ported to the Playstation 1.
Don't forget to save your game.
