A lot of people may not know this, but I happen to be quite famous. Good-looking and talented as well. Go ahead ladies and gents, look it up. Google it. I'll wait... Satisfied? Now, I would like to have a little poo on that perception with my beautiful words; as I am wont to do... (Note: This blog contains adult language, Asperger's talk and brilliant opinions.

Why the Good Doctor is Autism-racist (if that's a thing) and why House is much more realistic portrayal of Autism... aka Help an Aspy muthafucker out...
Bradley talks about being Injun Brad, Portland, OR, but mostly about what he thinks of the way people with Asperger's and Autism are portrayed in movies and television. Bradley also gives some of his favorite (non-diagnosed) Asperger's/Autistic characters in TV and Film and explains why Rick and Morty may be the most important show on television for people with Asperger's and/or Autism. Any reason to promote Rick and Morty is one Bradley will take, not that the show needs any advertisement at this point. But, it does need to be recognized for its bravery in the field of Autism. Thank you Rick for being a (semi) positive role model for us Aspy muthafuckers. Thanks also to Dr. House and Han Solo, we are forever in your debt...

Belated posts and apologies... aka I'm an asshole but I'm back...
Fuck. I'm sorry. Goddamn two weeks in a row... What an asshole. Well, yeah and you knew that coming in here. So, it's kind of your own fault. I was doing so well but it's hard to write on a plane when you're tired as fuck and as soon as they announce there is no wi-fi you use that as an excuse to just fall asleep. Which, I realize now doesn't make any sense but that's the beauty of Asperger's: when something doesn't go according to plan it ruins everything, and thusly, I missed a week. Side note though, it's weird that wi-fi on plane in only an invention of the past few years but now I was pissed when I didn't have it because it (not really) screwed up my writing of a blog then watching "CHIPS" as I flew through the skies like our ancestors could only dream of. Jokes on the them, I watched "CHIPS" on my flight home, muthafuckers! It wasn't worth it... I goddamn love Dax Shepard, especially in "Employee of the Month." I know, fucking Dane Cook, right? But, that movie does ring true for anyone who ever worked big box retail, myself included. I didn't have Andy Dick for spot comic relief but we did alright in the humor department. Always thought that would be a great comedy show until I saw "Superstore." But, I guess that just means that I need to kick my story into high gear. Maybe it's time to fuck off this music thing and get to writing... Maybe not yet. But soon, maybe. But, probably not. But, Netflix is buying up fucking everything. But, I'm still too young for that. Or am I?
Anyways, I had to re-up(load) my video to youtube so I'd appreciate it if you CLICK ON THIS OR THE BELOW LINK to watch and make sure this comes up before the old/taken down version on google.
Editor's note: Since I failed in my task of writing this every Monday, this next paragraph is old. Thoughts from the Super Bowl...
Congratulations to THE "FINE" PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA on their Super Bowl win. Fucking Nick Foles... That muthafucker just made himself a lot of money, Joe Flacco-style. All it takes is one great playoff run and BOOM some team will regret paying you for years to come... But, he goddamn earned it. I honestly thought the Patriots would win until their was :00 left on the clock. I thought Doug Pederson made some terrific, and ballsy, calls during the game (going for it on fourth down multiple times, including on the one-yard line) and also made some horrific decisions I was convinced would come back to bite him in the ass (the two failed two-point conversion attempts). I was so pissed Collinworth and Michaels weren't making a bigger deal out of the the lost two points which allowed the Patriots to have a chance at the end to tie it with a TD and a two-point conversion, just like last year. I have no clue why they were points-chasing and fell into the two-point death spiral which was completely unnecessary with so much time left in the game. I know Pederson loves to be aggressive and it, somehow, didn't come back to bite them in the ass but I really thought it would. Either way, lackluster performance by both defenses and Justin Timberlake. JT did... fine. It was good and he had a cool stage setup but without bringing Janet Jackson back out which would have been his "holy shit" moment, the whole performance was good but not memorable. He had a chance to go down in history by bringing Janet back to reference the moment that changed live broadcast TV forever and he played it safe. Congrats on being the performance I'll forget in the near future just like... well, all the performances in recent history not including BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN CROTCH SLIDING AND SLAMMING HIS DICK INTO AMERICA IN HD and, I don't know, maybe U2's performance way the fuck back in 2002. Get it together NFL and Pepsi and get some good shit for us again... Boo...
OK, old shit over.
Holy shit, "The End of the Fucking World." That's it. What a show. Show recommended and show loved. Touche Netflix. You've done it again.
It contains some of the most fucked up moments apart from THESE ON BOJACK when BoJack confronts a friend who's dying and almost sleeps with the underage daughter of a former crush. Man, is there anything on TV better than BoJack? The answer is no. BoJack is the greatest show since Arrested Development and we'd probably be saying "since Seinfeld" if not for BUSTY'S "HEY HERMANO." Sure, THIS RICK AND MORTY MUMFORD AND SONS JOKE COMES CLOSE but doesn't quite reach the heights (or depths) of Mr. Horseman. So it goes...
If you couldn't tell, it's been a fucked up week. Things have been good but that doesn't really mean much to someone suffering from Asperger's and depression who probably drinks too much and LOVES TINY RICK AND ALSO LISTENS TO TOO MUCH ELLIOTT SMITH. Bonus points for Rick and Morty. I may be "getting too old for this ship" but I still enjoy a solid funny/depressing reference, especially one referencing suicide. Whoa, that shit's dark. Sorry, y'all. But, wait til you GET INTO THIS INTERVIEW WHICH I'VE BECOME OBSESSED WITH. It's been eye-opening and comforting. The openness during this interview is mind-blowing. Music is not for the well-adjusted...
I apologize for not being present during these past couple weeks, but it's been harder for me than you, so fuck off. Anyhow, I'm hungry and tired... I know after two weeks you were looking for something grandiose and exciting but this is what you get. So, goodnight, y'all...

Who's tired? Just me? Fuck you... aka I'm glad Rick and Morty only has 30 episodes...
My favorite thing this week is WATCHING THIS (from :19-:24). I know, I know, late to the party. I've dabbled in Rick and Morty over the years but never had the time or energy or want or really even cared enough to start another fucking TV show. Fucking Netflix and shit, there's too goddamn much to catch up on. But, I relented, and the only winner here is me. Of course I love it. I always knew I would. Luckily, if you don't care about sleep you can plow through the 30 episodes goddamn quick, like in a week (yes, I do other shit during the day and only really watch TV between midnight and 3am. Healthy, right? Probably explains my love for goddamn infomericals and my obsession with the clinically insane Cathy Mitchell and her RED COPPER 5 MINUTE CHEF. Or, some of my all-time favorites in THE MAGIC BULLET, the long form infomercial which I've watched on repeat for hours, literally, and I mean "literally" in the literal sense, not the hipster "literally" type of way, and the granddaddy of them all, the 28 minute masterpiece, THE RONCO ROTISSERIE. Seriously, 28 minutes?! I know I've wasted at least 20 hours of my life as I've seen this shit at least 40 or 50 times. Sad... Well, it would be if I hadn't wasted an equal amount of time WATCHING THIS and actually ended up getting a power pressure cooker; though not the one in the infomercial. It was Christmas gift and it is truly amazing. The tenderest chicken and pork I've ever eaten has come out of this thing, in a fraction of the time it would take in a crockpot. It's fucking so soft it's goddamn falling apart as you're pulling it out of the pressure cooker. And if you throw in some onions and peppers and tomatillos, and OH MY GOD. Wait, am I selling pressure cookers or writing a blog? Seriously, what should I be doing right now? Apparently, after a few bourbons I can't tell the difference. Is there a difference? What am I talking about? Jesus...).
It's weird but this past week has been good. No Asperger's meltdowns. No random obsessions to sidetrack me (apart from catching up on Rick and Morty, but that is just smart. Just fucking smart). And, no setbacks in my musical career like the ones which have basically defined the last two years of my life. It's good. Like really fucking good. It was so good, in fact, that I accidentally watched "Get Him to the Greek," one of my all-time favorite movies, and immediately was sad. I used to be Aldous. I still am sometimes. It's not always fun (in fact, it's mostly depressing) but it was/sometimes is so fucking exciting. I STILL SAY THIS ALL THE FUCKING TIME (though I usually substitute "Bradley Wik" for "Aldous Snow"). It's also weird but I cannot, abso-fucking-lutely cannot do accents (except for my New York accent, but that was hard-earned in the years I spent there) but I can mimic lines, like a parrot with Asperger's. I once even learned a shitload of lines from the movie so I could mimic his British accent enough to convince an entire group of strangers at a bar that I was from England, only to reveal that I'm not and they must be fucking idiots to not know. It went over so well. I almost got punched in the face by a girl who was ready to to go home with me only seconds earlier (she swung and I was not too drunk to dodge). It was a blast. Good times... I mean, how many times have we all DONE INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS... If you answered never, I would concur as I've not been on the Today Show either. But, the content rings true, in a completely not true kind of way, if that makes sense. Hopefully, it doesn't but perhaps you understand the deeper inner turmoil that haunts you daily and tries, unsuccessfully, yet forcefully, to undermine your purest intentions and your dreams and your relationships and your "normal" life as you search endlessly for a respite, however momentary, from the damage it's already inflicted which is growing inward and spreading with each passing hour as you dwell deeper and harder on your own insecurities and faults... Wait, that last one sounded sexual and was quite funny. "Deeper and harder" made me giggle. At last, a benefit of being an immature man. Take that world. "WHO'S RETARDED NOW?"
It's nice being at home while writing this for once and not in some crappy to mediocre hotel room. So nice, in fact (which I've said too many times tonight), that I'm going to call it a night earlier than normal (read: midnight) and sleep in my own fucking bed as long as I possibly can. Sorry for the short post, but fuck it, I don't care. Love all y'all. Goodnight muthafuckers!
