Planet Fitness and Boston Police
I joined Planet Fitness because it is the most affordable and convenient locations without a vehicle, and over 2,000 locations. The Boston downtown location was the only one in Downtown Crossing. I tried to continue my training and conditioning based on the format of the gym. One thing in the past I have been doing was traveling from gym to gym and not observing the culture. With no wheels and only public transportation, it made me actually paying attention to the gym culture alongside with YouTube videos making full fun of the different types of people in the gym. The YouTube videos were spot on the various personalities of those attending the gym. With downtown Boston culture, I started storing my items in the Men's Locker Room. On one evening while I use the gym locker with a lock and my post about what happened at Sports and Fitness in Washington, DC, I did my training and discovered my lock was picked or unlocked. I was furious because I just got to Massachusetts and this happens, but I retained my wallet, smartphone, and keys on my person. With my smartphone, I called 9-1-1 and told what happened, and what was going/planning to happen if Massachusetts continue the crazy stuff I left. 9-1-1 referred me to the police department to file a report or talk to them. I checked my locker for any items stolen. With my smartphone, I took plenty of pictures stormed out of the gym and went straight to the Boston Police Department closest to the gym near Government Center MBTA (T) station. I had a discussion with the on-duty BPD officer desk clerk and we talked about what happened, and I show him the pictures. BPD Officer mentioned if nothing was stolen, then talk to gym management. I went back to Planet Fitness and spoke with staff members on duty first. Planet Fitness staff members stated since no general security camera can be placed in the Men's Locker Room because of a violation of privacy laws. Then, PF staff finally tells me that it has been an ongoing problem for a long time. PF Staff recommended using the lockers in the general gym area to be watched via the security cameras. The issue made me upset for at least a day or two, and PTSD super cautious around non-gym users. Even to today (March 2022), the problem of theft occurs even with posted signs and verbal warnings. On my back, I have three different types of locks on my backpack for the variety of gym lockers anywhere Planet Fitness or Crunch Fitness exists.

Voting - Presidential election
I did request the option to register to vote when I filled out my RMV driver's license and permit. I did request an application to register to vote from the Boston Election Department. I filled it out and sent it in several weeks before the actual cutoff deadline. When I did not receive my voting registration card, I went directly to the Boston Election Department at City Hall to follow up and I provided all the information they needed. The Boston Election Department mentioned they could not find my address. I said okay, then the election came and I did my first provisional ballot. I provided everything again including my Massachusetts Driving Paper Permit with the address on it. The Election staff performed most of the steps to get me the ballot, but failed quality check when submitting the ballot. I did get a receipt of the placing the ballot and a vote sticker. After the election passed, I followed up according the weeks of when to follow up to see if the vote was counted, and called the Election Department. The election official stated my ballot or vote was not counted because the outside envelope was not signed. Then, I received a call a few days later stating my address was a commercial address or I had to live / attend one of the nearby colleges, such as Emerson. Most of this process was shown during my photo blog. I was disappointed, but not angry because wherever Boston says, "No," as a resident, I know I can rely on my other residencies for voting in future elections. However, the law is vote only once.
Thanksgiving holidays
(I am using "they/their/them" as a pronoun so for the person to remain anonymous and gender neutral)
Thanksgiving during the pandemic was a little different and never seen before. I am not cooking for anyone. I was eating with the homeless people at different shelters. I was invited to spend Thanksgiving festivities at a Muslim Somalian friend and their special social circle. This invite felt okay and weird. It was not my standard normal invite, but I was grateful. I tried to see others during the weekend, but it was full of no-shows thus bringing my project management and previous experiences to eliminate the bullsh*t. The friend and their cousin tried to cook. I brought the drinks and snacks. It was good, but not knocking the friend. It was a literal, government-public-housing-unemployed-or-underemployed event that I have never experienced in my entire life with the exception of the extended, not-DNA-tested- maternal-side-of-the-family cousins that moved from South Carolina to Jersey City and Newark area. I am not talking to much about the New Jersey and New York families because via my photoblog you can see in reality on how I made decisions for my families, and separating the OLD from the NEW. Those NJ and NY families made decisions for their lives and I am a grown man making my own decision for my life. The pictures or memories of the extended cousins of NJ and NY families were in my storage drives and taken so please note I am in no mood to see, hear, speak, or care about them. Back to my friend, the public housing location was okay, but needs to be updated. My acquaintance did show me how to wash clothes in the bathtub, which gave me PTSD of my African-American ancestors washing clothes in the big, round grey, metal bins. At the time of my birth or coming to South Carolina from Washington, DC, my grandmother and cousins up their private dirt road had the metal bins. It was funny how clothes were being recycled at my friend's home. To wash my clothes (which was not needed because I do laundry every other week), they gave me clothing from a previous guest who left items behind. It was cool. My acquaintance was disappointed when I did not provide them sexual satisfaction after their own internal fighting of let me do what I do or not (which went on all day and night). I could not sleep. Their attraction to me was my body, muscles, and my role, and I was their second person to help them change roles and begin the process of them being in that role. My acquaintance did place the coat hook inside my coat and I did not discover it until a few days later by Southampton Street Shelter security. While they were doing their continuous internal fighting with self, they tried to put me out or wanted me to leave at midnight and I told them I could not, but I can leave at 5 am. What happened is that I checked-in to the Southampton Street Shelter and got my bed, but that is when my associate decided to invite me over for Thanksgiving festivities. So at Southampton Street Shelter, once I passed security check and check-in to receive a bed, there is no checking out until the next day. If I do happen to leave after check-in with a bed, then I cannot come into the shelter until the next day. I thought about the weather, which was bitter cold. I was angry, but we texted later as with all other acquaintances it fizzled out to absolutely no communication.
Covid-19 testing
As I previously mentioned, South Carolina hospitals, doctors, nurses, and licensed professionals never really tested me for the coronavirus, but recommended that any pandemic symptoms that go to the emergency room. I never felt any symptoms so when I got to Massachusetts and stayed in the city-managed shelter called Southampton Street Shelter, the health care management team from McInnis Health Group Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program conducted the first test for me in October 2020. The October 2020 test result was negative. I am listening and performing all the precautions as the CDC, federal, state, county, and city officials state what to do. Even though, this is a November 2020 post, some December 2020 stuff is going to be stated. Giving credit where it is due, Southampton and MHG BMC BHCHP were having continuous testing every two weeks at an inconvenient day and time from October 2020 and I heard most of them or saw flyers. Giving failure where it is due, the virus came out in February/March 2020 and testing came out in May 2020 based on South Carolina residency. I came to Massachusetts in August 2020. Restrictions in place, but no regular testing was happening at the shelters, gyms, or any public places requiring it. These are excerpts from the civil case filed in May/June 2021 (please note this case or the fighting is still going on).
The first shelter restriction date is Tuesday, December 1, 2020. The first surge of scientific and political data creates emergency orders across all cities, towns, and counties in Massachusetts to get tested.
Action from BPHC Employees and BPHC Police was denial of shelter in weather of below 32 degrees on Tuesday, December 1, 2020.
a. Description of individuals involved in first shelter restriction.
1. White (Caucasian) male, stocky, 5'11”, 215lbs, blond hair, normally collared shirt, no safety vest, walks around shelter, no earrings, no visible tattoos, BPHC Employee
2. Black (African-American) male, supervisor maybe, slender, 5'8”, 180 lbs, sits at check-in, blue hoodie normally, no safety vest, black hair, haircut very low, dark colored eyes, no earrings or piercings, no visible tattoos, BPHC Employee
3. BPHC Police Officer, large, football build, 5'7”, 210 lbs, black hair braided, in uniform, African-American male.
Description of the activity first shelter restriction date on Tuesday, December 1, 2020
a. Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at 12 midnight to 1:30 AM – Plaintiff arrived to 112 Southampton St, Boston, MA after my day of normal activities. Please note Plaintiff have slept at 112 Southampton St for 85% of time since September 2020 with no issues. Plaintiff encountered a white male at check-in stating Plaintiff needed a recent COVID-19 test in order to stay there for the night. Later, he stated they did testing all day at 8am, 3pm, and 6:30pm and Plaintiff needed a wristband or white paper stating negative. The weather is heavy rain, windy, and cold. So Plaintiff went to my smartphone to retrieve my results, of course, McInnis Health Group patient portal was down, but Plaintiff already kept a screenshot. Plaintiff showed the guy my screenshot and he stated in the test had to be in the last 48 hours. Then, a black guy came and stated if whoever did not have a test in the last 48 hours could not stay there until the COVID-19 test is done. BPHC Police is standing around and guarding the door while myself and others stand there. So I told the white guy and everyone present, “You better cover your ass.” All this action should have been captured on camera. Plaintiff left and stated, “I am going to get you what you want.” And at the door BPHC Police black man guarded the door, Plaintiff asked, “Who or what names stated I cannot stay at the shelter?” The BPHC Police black man stated it is the supervisor.
b. Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at 1:30 AM to 2:00 AM – Plaintiff walked to Massachusetts General Hospital. Plaintiff got my test and stayed overnight. In the COVID-19, the staff was able to do extra and extensive testing, including chest ex-ray. Same test conduct via nasal swab came back negative
c. Tuesday, December 1, 2020 – Plaintiff returned to 112 Southampton with his results, but no one wanted to see them.
d. Wednesday, December 2, 2020 – Since Plaintiff already knew the McInnis Health Group conducted the testing, Plaintiff went and got tested there too. The test came back negative too.
Workforce and Housing Appointment
St. Francis House provided an opportunity to help those receive a small income check on getting job training after workforce or resident displacement. Laymen's terms is getting the druggies, alcoholics, chronically ill, and/or mentally ill back into the workforce by receiving technology training, resume creation, and how to prepare for job interviews while St. Francis provide a small paycheck for attendance. I did interview for the program and was provided two avenues. After evaluation of my information, in addition, to working for Federal Express, the instructor (which I did the same position at Byte Back in Washington, DC) told me I was overqualified or I had to be waitlisted to be selected because the program was so popular, and St. Francis had to adhere to pandemic group restrictions. I was not selected for either program despite all the issues I had in life in restarting my life and my career.
Corporate America Industry
The onsite jobs moving from onsite to remote. The job requirements were repetitive as ever from a new recruiter from the same company. During my mental illness, I could not keep up with spammed and bombardment of information coming from all the places I sent my resume. I started unsubscribing from the subscriptions when I thought I was coming up to be President of something, so this was the United States government newsletters, different states, etc., from GovDelivery subscription services. At this time, I rarely got called for interviews for the remote positions. At this time or even in the past, the recruiters are continuously screening for application programmers if any type of language is mentioned in your resume. Presently, the Microsoft technologies opened up to so many different flavors of languages...thus means if a 10-year old decides to create a programming language or application...it can be snapped up and merged into the main technology. The new job description is the main technology plus a billion different languages or requirements that are hardly being used. My subscription with Microsoft Office 365 ended when the American Express Business Credit closed. However, I had to plan how to best use the most productive and most likely to pay subscription services for which online properties serve me best. Microsoft and Google implemented a policy that any data stored in the cloud with two years of inactivity is automatically deleted. I found that out with one of my alternative secondary storage accounts, went through the email, and open up OneDrive and the information (very little storage) was not there and opened up brand new. Again, back to the workforce, I was also excited for remote because I thought about companies like WeWork and other remote office companies.
Federal Express
I was hired by Federal Express Air Freight Express Services for the Boston Ramp in October 2020. I initially was excited, but the physical assaults and sexual assaults by twenty (20) or more employees were annoyed and unexpected for a minimum wage paying job. Excerpt from May/June 2021 civil case (please note this case is still going on):
During the first initial weeks on the FedEx Boston Ramp, street side, warehouse conveyor belt near freight trucks and Harborside Drive, I was physically assaulted with angry punches to the upper body, such as on the arms, biceps, elbow, shoulders, back near kidney, chest (pectoral area), stomach, and abdominal area from October 20, 2020 to November 12, 2020 between the hours of 5:00 pm to 11:30 pm EST, Sunday through Thursday. I was hired as a Material Handler, so eventually I would be able to unload and reload the FedEx planes and drive the airport vehicles outside the warehouse.
During the same time October 26, 2020 to November 19, 2020, I was sexually assaulted with a continued swipe across both buttocks with arms and hands from individual human defendants and defendants who are no longer with FedEx totaling 20 or more people. Just name some of the people during the October to December 2020 time frame was Brianna, Samson, Claire, Ahmed, Camila, Kiki, Kiki's best work friend, Claire's work buddy that was not me.
All Federal Express employees, even though we were essential workers, were violating the pandemic COVID-19 for groups and gatherings, and no six (6) feet for general conversations.
Self-Defense in Massachusetts
At this time, I moved to a state and location where I did not know anyone and did not want to directly pounce, ultimate fighting combat, beat-their-motherf*cking-ass, SouthEast Washington Highlands/NorthWest Georgia Ave-Petworth Washington, DC, Berkeley County South Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, 30 years of gym and shooting guns, f*ck them up, send-them-early-to-get-a-disability-check personality to take place without giving a benefit of doubt how Massachusetts does touching, hand pounding, handshakes, physical contact, etc. without consent or any manners. Again, I let Massachusetts physical contact continue go on for a good year and a half until I changed the game. Yes, today I still feel this way, but it is a little lighter (1% percent lighter) still working on setting Massachusetts straight. Please note New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida already saw this personality for real. The reason the original fighting personality still exists because the anger shifted FROM slavery and civil rights striving to achieve American dream TO real personable loss plus March 26-April 3, 2016.
Relationships, Fighting, and War Statement for Everyone and Anyone Reading:
After March 26-April 3, 2016, YOU exit our type of monogamous, polyamorous, friends with benefits, fuck buddy, side piece relationship, do not come back. YOU tell me to exit the relationship, I do not come back - totally vamoose. Wallow in your own sh*t. I exit after all pros and cons are weighed, I do not come back and verbally face-to-face tell you, email and text you, talk about you, and write a letter. I wallow in my own issues by continuing moving the conversation to a brand new medical and health team, and anyone new in the 334,352,393 Americans counted by the United States Census Bureau, after team after team, so I never have to return to the person (outside of Massachusetts) who created the problems. Unfortunately, after a 40-year physical and verbally fighting with all my family, old friends, exes, etc., 30-year paperwork fight with other situations, 20-year fight in the court systems that in Massachusetts will be a ten (10) year forever fight if you do Manley Marvell Collins. Most people still do not believe my information or the internet in presenting information so to tell you directly my ASS is covered in every direction you attempt to come at me and spiral through your entire organization to have those HARD conversations that should have happened from Day One, which has everyone telling on each other. I say, "WAR is not the best answer, but WAR is the best solution to complete the healing and prosperity process."
