My name is upper case D and all the rest of the letters are lower case.
I used to bother and try to use facial expressions but I was told that they looked 'false'. One can't win in this world. So, I gave up using facial expressions and life went back to being simple for me. I found it tedious trying to feign interest in something that bored me witless.
I can't look at people and listen to them at the same time. I can do one or the other but not both. That means I can listen to you OR I can read your body language but I can't do both. So, I don't know that you are joking sometimes and therefore take everything literally.
I can't look at people and talk to them at the same time. I can do one or the other but not both. That means I can talk to you OR I can look at you but I can't do both. So, if I talk, I have to look somewhere else other than at you. Otherwise, If I look at you, I start reading your body language which means that I have to stop talking. So, if I say something that offends, I have no way of knowing.
People like me usually have few friends but, the ones we have, can most definitely be relied on, as can we.
I call a spade a spade. If you act like a twat, I'll call you a twat. If you don't want me to call you one, don't act like one.
I don't like people making illogical and emotional decisions. I just find it so bleedin' irritating and there's no excuse for it.
Above all else, there is freedom.
I have the right to offend - just as you do.
If you get offended by things that I do and say, that's your call. You have the right to get offended but don't blame me. You also have the right not to get offended and you can exercise that right just as easily. The choice is yours - not mine.
After freedom comes fairness. People need to act in a fair and consistent manner. If they don't, I will retaliate. I ALWAYS retaliate. ALWAYS.
I find relationships interesting. People seem to get terribly upset when a relationship ends though quite why I don't really understand. If someone wants to be with me, that's fine. If someone doesn't want to be with me, that's fine too. They have that right. I have no wish to be with someone who doesn't want to be with me. I don't see the point. I can be with people or not be with people. Both situations have their positive and negative points. My take is that if you don't like me and who I am, stay away. I couldn't care less one way or the other.
I find people strange - very strange. People come to me for solutions to problems. I provide them with an optimal solution. Then they tell me about the caveat. So, I give them a sub-optimal solution but they complain because the solution isn't optimal.
I don't like rules for the sake of having rules and I dislike people following rules without understanding why they are following them. People aren't automatons yet and there's no excuse for acting like one.
I am a people watcher. I've learned that people don't know what to do when someone like me comes along and won't play by their rules. We are just expected to play by their rules. When we don't, they have no idea what to do. They just kind of stop and look sort of puzzled. I find it hilarious. What's more is, few people will actually challenge me so, in effect, I can break most of the rules that I want to without any effect. We have rules in place that people follow but few rules in place for when those rules aren't. There was a time, for example, when I could go into a travel agent and tell them what kind of a holiday I wanted. They would then provide me with a list of suitable holidays. I would then discount some because they weren't suitable and pick one of the remaining ones. Try that nowadays. All you'll get is some 17 year old who asks which holiday you'd like to book. My answer is, if I knew which bleedin' holiday I wanted to book, I'd have done it on line and saved myself 10%. What I need help with is what's out there in the way of suitable holidays and what is it that the brochure isn't telling me? They have a set of rules that they use to book a holiday once one has been selected but no rules whatsoever for helping people to select a holiday. There's a lot of services going this way now. People used to come to me for advice before buying a PC. I used to ask them a few questions which told me what memory they'd need, how much disc space they'd need and how fast the processor needed to be. I'd then point them to the right model. If you go into a PC shop these days, you'll now get some 17 year old kid telling you that this PC comes in a choice of 3 colours. However, if you ask him what the processor speed is, this glazed look will come across his face. I was looking at a PC in a shop not long ago and this 17 year old kid asked me if I needed some help. I asked him what the mip rating was of the PC, cruel twat that I am. Off he went to find the manager. Neither returned. Presumably, neither had a clue.
Being an atheist isn't a choice I made, it's a conclusion that I came to which was as natural as breathing. I was never baptised. My parents decided to leave it up to me when I was old enough. I've never believed in god. I see no point. If someone can prove that a god exists, then I will believe. I'm not stupid. god is an emotional response to the human condition, I think. I'm not emotional. I don't need god. Why would I believe in something that man made up to satisfy his emotional needs? If people want to satisfy their emotional needs, get a puppy or a kitten or a teddy bear. They are probably a lot less bothersome and a whole lot more reliable - especially in the case of the teddy bear.
I don't see any of these issues as challenges. I see them as being part of me and who I am.
