When they talk about people who
have “special needs,” just whom are they talking about? I think they think
they’re talking about me.
Oh shit! If that’s the case
then that officially makes me “needy.” That means I’m screwed because nobody
likes needy people.
I don’t feel like they’re talking
about me when they say “special needs.” I can’t think of anything I need that’s
all that special. I need to eat, sleep and eliminate bodily waste. I need to
breathe. I need to get up out of bed
every day and go do something. I need to wash the crud off of my body. I need
to laugh. Nothing special about all that. I need to get laid. (Maybe that’s
where the special part comes in, at least as far as cripples are concerned.)
When I think of people with special
needs, I think of like vampires. Vampires need to drink virgin blood every day
in order to stay “alive.” They can’t get by on burgers and fries like the rest
of us. Vampires need to sleep in coffins during daylight hours. Now those are
special needs.
Vampires are needy as hell! I
know that vampires are a bad example of human neediness because they’re make-believe.
And yes, I do acknowledge that there are real live humans who do indeed have
very special, very extraordinary needs that place a heavy burden on the rest of
society. The most obvious example is Trump. There’s one needy sonuvabitch for
you. That guy needs a constant, endless flow of money. He needs money like the
rest of us need oxygen. He thinks he’ll die if he doesn’t get more money. No
matter how much money he has today, he needs to have more tomorrow. His need
for money is far beyond special. It’s grotesque.
Unfortunately, Trump is not
make-believe. And he’s not the only person with this type of special need. And
almost all of those with this terrible affliction are verts (which is short for
verticals, which is slang for people who walk). But when someone says “special
needs,” they’re never talking about verts. They’re always talking about
cripples.
Nobody wants to be perceived as
needy because nobody likes needy people. We all act like we love the needy but
we don’t. The only people who like hanging around needy people are heavy duty
codependent types. I bet if somebody took a survey to determine the leading
reasons why people get dumped by their lovers, at the top of the list would be
neediness. “He/she was just tooooo needy.”
That’s the way it works. Don’t
get too needy or you’ll get dumped.
