(Repost) Poetry Packed Out: It Takes A Baron

Recently, I made a major dent in my hope to devour all of the Studio Ghibli’s catalogue, most recently, I viewed both Whispers of the Heart and The Cat Returns, both of which feature a gentlemanly looking cat, known as The Baron. His full name is Baron Von Gikkuken and he fits the name perfectly in his actions. The fact that he is voiced by Cary Ells (Westley from The Princess Bride) and you’ll…

(Repost) Don’t be Afraid to Break

Over the last two weeks, I’ve had to think about something my therapist felt that I was, she told me that she believed that I have narcissistic tendencies, all stemming from my ability to mask who I really am, am autistic person who just happens to have it all together. Or, so it would seem. I never meant for it to turn up as it did, but still the fact that I couldn’t shake what she said really…

Reservoir Eagle, Flying Higher (Artistically)

Something wonderful and unexpected came to me earlier today, Dear Readers!! I’ve spoken at length at how much my late adopted Mom, the late Carol Zaloom influenced me, how she called me an artist and an adopted son. I’ve also shared her applesauce cake on the SuperBistro before. My only regret was not having any portrait of hers to remember her, but that drought came to an end earlier…

(Repost) Anxiety, Hopes and Healing

Today, Dear Readers, was a very good day. A dear friend and I did our civic duties and voted in the 2024 Elections. We both felt relieved as we walked out of the polling place, like it was the end of a hectic roller coaster ride. For the purposes of the vote, I won’t reveal whom I voted for. The roller coaster ride, though, made me really think of how much politics matter in our lives, for…

(Reposted Again) The Problem with Going off Script

Have you ever been caught off guard with something you never expected, having you go off script and being impromptu, especially in social situations? Forgive me for sounding like Tom Papa from Live from Here, but I have. Most people know how to go to their social playbook, doing so as if it’s natural. I’ve been known to do so myself, even as the panic in my face and in my eyes may tell a…

A Repost of a Sincerely Humble Open Letter

In celebration of Yom Kippur, even though I’m a Roman Catholic, I think we can all agree that we all do something (or say something) that we regret doing or saying. So, in that spirit, the spirit of resolution, of forgiving ourselves and others, that I decided to write an open letter to those who I may have hurt in the past. To those whom this may concern: I know that there are people that look…

(Repost) Everyday I’m Chargin’, One Day at a Time!!!

I know, Dear Readers, that I’ve spoken about it before, but I feel like the above meme says a lot about how completely draining it can be to be social. Especially for my fellow Spectrumites, since we do our very best to be as “normal” as possible, masking our every flaw. All in the name of conforming, in the name of “fitting in”, of simply behaving. I don’t want to say that rebelling on the…

(Repost) Poetry Packed Out: A Time to Remember

As an artist, I always like to remember others in my own unique way, through poems I write when I think of their memories and the impact that person had on me, an impact that help make me the person I am today. I can’t help but do so, it’s something that I want to do for those who helped me in the past. Unless I feel it neccesary to do so, I will never talk about politics at all, because politics…
