Page One

Page one of what? New blog, new life? I've just read the book "Look me in the eye" by John Elder Robison and I've realized I'm not as weird as I thought. (Still weird, but one of many---and it's controllable!)

I've often wondered why my head bops and my brain seems to work differently. I also rub my leg a lot and usually sound pretentious when speaking-although I don't mean to. My mind just isn't able to find a smaller word when a bigger one will do.

The older I get the more things seem to really tick me off. Religion is so hypocritical and so is voting for a woman who stayed in an abusive marriage for years. (I have the utmost respect for others' religious beliefs-I understand the lure of it and the reason--just wish they had the same for my lack thereof.)

What I mean is that the Bible is used as justification to hate, or discriminate, more than love. It's also ignored when it would be inconvenient not to do so and brought out when there's no harm to the person themselves.

It's getting late, cutting it very short for now. There's so much going through my head, a new way of looking at things, that it's going to be a whole new life. (No, don't have pie-in-the-sky hopes, but I know what I'm dealing with-now I just have to work around it.)
