![]() ![]() ![]() And yet, he chooses to self publish his memoir Get in the Van rather than go with a major publisher. Henry carried on in true DIY fashion, using his own publishing and record company to release his first book, his spoken word recordings, and albums by the first iteration of the Rollins Band.īy 1994, Rollins is all over MTV, and he’s featured in the film The Chase with Charlie Sheen. The band broke up in August of 1986, just before I started college. There was no one in the mainstream music world who wanted to help, so they did it themselves. ![]() So we can’t really say it’s his time fronting that band that makes him a personal hero to me … but it started there.īlack Flag recorded, financed, and distributed their own records, set up and promoted their own shows, and created their own merchandise. I loved it.Īt the time, I had no idea that the guy’s name was Henry Rollins, or that he wasn’t the first lead singer of Black Flag. My first impression was, “Wow, this guy is pissed off!” And sarcastic, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. If it wasn’t on the radio or MTV, it was invisible–unless some cool kid turned you on to something new (who probably got it from the older sibling of some other cool kid).Īnd by “cool,” I mean a misfit who couldn’t abide in a Top 40 world. ![]() That’s how it was pre-Internet in suburban Houston. It was in a kid named Mike Goodman’s bedroom, and the record was called Damaged. I vividly remember the first time I heard Black Flag. ![]() ![]() ![]() I was excited whenever he appeared because I looked forward to further exploring his character or his tight, lifelong friendship with Isla, but was disappointed nearly every time-despite knowing that that’s to be expected when reading specifically for a secondary character. They appear when they plot calls for it and are in large part defined by their relationship with the protagonist. In Isla, this is very much the case for Kurt. That means that reviewing the portrayal of autism in books like New York Times bestselling YA romance Isla and the Happily Ever After, in which the titular character’s best friend Kurt is autistic, can be complicated.īy their very nature, secondary characters are, well, secondary. ![]() Many autistic portrayals-whether in fiction or news media-are problematic because they sideline autistic people, who become important only in how they affect others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Which sounds a little odd, but at the end of the day, some people will like your style and others won’t, there’s no use trying to please them all, if your artistic voice gets lost in the fray. But this is my preferred option.Īnd as for your other questions, write what you want to write, instead of trying to make people happy. There are other sites that offer the same kinds of features such as Blogspot and livejournel. But if you are just looking for something that’s quick and easy, and effective at the same time, WordPress will work for you. If there are custom options, I haven’t figured it out yet. However, I can’t change the font or size of my text which can be annoying at times, and everything is quite standard and there isn’t a whole lot of different options for the layout and theme of my blog. ![]() I like wordpress because it is cheap, and very easy to use. Unfortunately, I haven’t been up to date on my reading since like December >_< But I’m slowly catching up and still willing to read some new stories □ ![]() ![]() So don’t be afraid to leave a comment or ask a question, as I am happy to do answer or reply. Send me links too, I love finding new stories to read and keep me entertained. SErin’s – Danevbie Legacy and Danevbies & Dannings and The Blackened Sky.Īnd I’m not sure what else to say. This list is incomplete as I will be adding more and more stories to it ❤ And I hate doing this because once I get started, I’m sure I’ll forget someone. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the people in the waiting room have seen Matthew around town and wondered about him. I sat next to him with a straight face while the packed waiting room stifled laughter. To look at his face, you would think he was reading Paradise Lost. Earlier in the day, we had been to the dentist, where Matthew read The Care Bears Go to the Dentist while waiting for his turn. But he is crippled by social awkwardness that, try as we have, we can't train out of him. ![]() Matthew is autistic, and wants to be a regular guy in the worst way. "I want him to think I take care of bad guys." When I suggest that he remove the junior sheriff sticker from his t-shirt before he goes in, he refuses. "I want him to think I drove here by myself." "No," replies my 19-year-old son Matthew. "Do you want me to come in with you while you get your haircut?"

On Churchill’s first day as prime minister, the Nazis invade Holland and Belgium, portending an anguished war on the continent. ![]() ![]() ![]() 6Edward Gibbon, War DiaryGeorge Johnston.
