Hello, all. I realize it's been awhile since I made a post. I apologize for that. I've been busy, as I work on multiple manuscripts at a time. And, I also have a lot of school work to do at this time of the year, as it is winter where I live, & I haven't had much time to type. I am actually typing this from a school computer, as I have only started typing my manuscripts again recently, & am trying to close out an old system & start a new one.
But, as this post may suggest, I have finished another book. This manuscript happens to be one of my particular favorites. The name of the manuscript is Tears In The Rain. I should get it done by Valentine's Day, as it is a love story. But, the main theme of this book is a bittersweet topic because some of you will have more words on it than I can say her (and, believe me, I try to make these posts be long, & this being one of my particular favorite manuscripts, there are so many themes in that book I could talk about that I could write a manuscript about that.). The reason for that is because you quite possibly live in a non-democratic, non-capitalist society, which don't get me wrong America is not always a walk on the beach to live in either, where you have less of a choice of this thing I am about to talk about this. For the Americans that are reading this post, you probably know a little bit about this theme, but, not to the degree I am about to discuss this about.
Either way, the major theme of Tears In The Rain that I am going to discuss today is your life rights.
In Tears In The Rain, the main male character is a "starving artist" who was born in China (no, literately, the man is a poverty-stricken artist). He has no way of using his life rights of right to a healthy living residence & a fair income. In that same retrospect, the main female character is a wealthy woman who is being forced to marry a rich man by her stepfather. She has no way of using her life rights of right to fall in love & right to be married to a man who loves her despite her beauty & wealth, & sees her as human and not a toy.
So, yeah, you probably get the gist of where I am going. I am talking for the first time about the inalienable rights every human has. There will be several posts about this since I am American & have a sense this post will earn me my first comment.
Anyway, there are several human rights everyone is born with. But, the main reason I am talking about this is that there are so many places & times & dates at which we can't choose. Now, I'm all que ser ra, ser ra as much as the next guy you'll meet. But, there's a difference between my que ser ra, que ser ra & que ser ra in a country like, oh I don't know, Pakistan.
In many countries in the Middle East & Africa & parts of Asia, & I don't really know why this is, you have no way of accessing your life rights. Everything, from the car you drive to the man/woman you spend your life with, is decided by someone, mostly the government. In those countries, I bet my left arm that if you even begin to read half of the posts on this blog, you'll be in jail before you can even say "AspieGoth". I don't have to use an example for this, as if you live in this type of country, probably know it already.
In so many other countries, you have some control of your life rights, but, not much. Again, as a US citizen, I'm not sure why. But, just like I said before, you'd probably get arrested for reading this blog. One example of this (and, I'm not sure about if they changed this or not) is that in Russia, Goths, Emos, & people of the Heavy Metal subculture/religion (half of England follows Heavy Metal as an official religion apparently) cannot sell their music online or go into a government building dressed as the people of their subculture (Which is why I must send a shout out to Russia, as the second biggest demographic of blog readers come from Russia. I'm sorry your government only elects idiots for leaders! :-I)
On that note, I leave this post up for discussion.
A blog on life for an AspieGoth, or a person who has Aspergers Syndrome & happens to be a Goth, through the point of view of one for people of all walks of life.

Sex-And-The-City Tangeant#2: Conformity ProgrammersPart 1: Why I Personally Hate Children's shows now
Hello Again everyone. The Sex-And-The-City Tangent #1 about Lady Gaga got me a lot of views. And, I got an idea on to talk about how society has gave out children the message that all alternative subcultures are bad, and teaching our children that it is okay to be a conformist only. But, I was going to do a rant. But, instead, I decided to make another Sex-And-The-City Tangent. Here it is:
I watch a lot of television. Sometimes, I watch children's channels. But, the children's channels I watch have no qualms about Alterophobia. In fact they always degrade the all black figures. Don't believe me? Here are some examples from the Disney show:
I watch a lot of television. Sometimes, I watch children's channels. But, the children's channels I watch have no qualms about Alterophobia. In fact they always degrade the all black figures. Don't believe me? Here are some examples from the Disney show:
- The Disney Channel always shows the people dressed in all black as monsters. There was an episode of Hannah Montana dedicated to this theory that Goths/people into Heavy Metal are violent, stereotypes that probably formed post-Columbine.
- In fact, there is an episode of Hannah Montana (not the one mentioned above, I'd include a link to that one, bu, I can't find it. The episode I am talking about is a different episode.) where the school bully is a Goth girl.
- It's not just Hannah Montana. There was a recent episode of a show called Shake It Up on my television set. The main characters were being portrayed as bad people, pulling a little boy's hair, growling at him, & then eating his birthday cake. That's not what was Alterophobic about this episode. What was Alterophobic about this episode is that the girls were dressed in all black while doing all those foul deeds.
- There is a show on Nickelodeon called Victorious starring Victoria Justice. Her rival is Jade, a girl whom I'm guessing is supposed to be a Goth girl. But, she is portrayed as a jerk, contrary to what most Goths/people in alternative subcultures actually are in every single episode.
- There was an episode of iCarly in which Carly dressed up like a punk/Goth to try to discourage her grandfather from taking custody of her. And, then, her grandfather says that just because she is dressed as a Punk/Goth, she'll do terrible, horrible, no-good crimes.
