JOURNAL ENTRY #74

Name: Manley M Collins

Social Security Number: 5 7 9 – * * – 6 5 4 1

Date of Birth: 06/21

Place of Birth: Washington, District of Columbia

TOPIC: Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin...SplitSpot Debacle "Bait and Evict" Tactics...Forging Ahead...Happy New Year...Everyone Mad, Angry, and Upset As H*ll

The new year always comes up with interesting scenarios. After the fighting with Pine Street Inn because I do not let people do what they want without money, courtesy, respect, etc., Pine Street Inn decides to put me out when I started complaining against staff and security members.  This creates evasive and aggressive mode to search for an apartment or room.  As I put out applications, here comes SplitSpot offering room at a low price with roommates.  Everyone be leery and skeptical of businesses like SplitSpot and June Homes because they wrote leases in their favor while they scam you renting rooms out on foreclosed homes. SplitSpot and Junes Homes are "bait and evict" type of companies coming out of New England.  SplitSpot and June Homes are doing not brand, new properties. They keep the power to evict you or ask you to leave at a moment's notice including if you breath wrong or if someone else causes the issue.

Pine Street Inn MCAD situation was an attempt to blame me to say I went out of my way to touch employees (people I did not know) and upgrade a 30-day suspension to 365 days suspension based on lies that does not reflect me.  Pine Street Inn are doing MCAD first, then I am pending litigation.  They failed to realize the fact I got to know the Greater Boston metro area to now live without any of the shelters and what they supposedly provide.  I did go to the Boston Police to discuss Pine Street Inn outreach team harassment on the streets, but the police stated I could file a report against people simply announcing themselves wherever I am and that I can simply ignore them.  I did stop donations to the shelters.

Street money donations to me went to Boston Public Library Fund, Boston Police Foundation, Massachusetts General Hospital, and American Red Cross.  The street money donations are coming when the person overpowers me saying, "No!" to money.

Federal Express, all individual defendants, and I are in Rule 16 Conference - Pre-Trial.  Everyone is confused and mad, angry, and upset as h*ll.

Does everyone see and understand why I am leaving, right?

Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination Complaint

I, Manley Collins, the Complainant believe that I was discriminated against by SplitSpot Inc. (Respondent #1) and 226 Washington Nominee Trust (Fred Starikov) (Respondent #2), on the basis of Disability, Race, Color.  This is in violation of M.G.L.c.151B, Section 4, Paragraph 6 and Title VIII.

1. I identify my race and color as African American.

2. I am diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which affects my sleep and my mood.

3. On or about January 19, 2023, I began renting a room at 228 Washington Street, Brighton, MA 02135 in a house with three other tenants. I signed a 12-month lease that ends December 31, 2023.  I paid my rent to Respondent SplitSpot. I was the only African American living in the apartment. All my roommates were White.

4. Respondent and my roommates were aware of my race and color because Respondent had me create a "roommate profile" during my application process, which included my race and color.

5. On or about January 21, 2023, I told my roommates Zane Piersanti (White) and Dakota Beets (White) that they could eat my food and drinks so long as they reciprocated in some way. However, they ate my food without reciprocation.

6. One January 31, 2023, my roommate Tommy Pace (White) left the apartment.

7. On or about February 2, 2023, I rejected a new roommate because she had a dog, and dogs aggravate my disabilities.  I informed Mr. Piersanti and Mr. Beets about my disabilities to explain why I could not have the dog in the apartment.

8. After this, Mr. Piersanti and Mr. Beets started moving around the toilet paper in the house so I didn't know where it was.

9. One or about February 14, 2023, I texted and email Mr. Piersanti and Mr. Beets asking them not to take my food anymore. I also said that the situation was aggravating my PTSD and Schizophrenia. Mr. Piersanti responded and we engaged in an argument via text message. After this, my roommates avoided me. I tried to talk to them about the situation, but they refused.

10. On February 22, 2023, Mr. Piersanti and Mr. Beets permanently left the apartment. The same day, I emailed Respondent with updates about my roommates leaving.

11. Later that day, Ilsa Polanco (race unknown), who works for Respondent, emailed me telling me I needed to move out of the apartment because of my February 14, 2023 email to my roommates.  Respondent asked me to leave the apartment within two weeks, and if not, they would send me an eviction notice to leave by March 31, 2023.

12. On February 22, 2023, I filed a police report against Respondent and Mr. Piersanti for theft and fraud.

13. To date, I am still in the room, but I plan to leave the room within two weeks.

Based on the foregoing, I believe Respondent discriminated against me based on my race, color, and disabilities.

Respondents responded stating it was because of the text and email without asking me how we got there.

My MCAD response

Dear Investigator:

I am, Manley M. Collins, the complainant of the case and former renter of SplitSpot (weblink: www.splitspot.com).  This rebuttal position statement is submitted in strict confidence and public view of knowledge.

Simply put, SplitSpot did discriminate against Manley Collins (“Dr. Collins”) because of his race, color, and disabilities.  SplitSpot agreed to terminate the lease of Dr. Collins because of the behavior of other white, privileged roommates, Zane Steven Piersanti (“Mr. Piersanti”), Tommy Pace (“Mr. Pace”), and Dakota Beets (“Mr. Beets”).  Dr. Collins did not want to move, but SplitSpot threatened if I stayed that a 30-Day Notice to Vacate will be filed (MMC ATTACHMENT M).

Dr. Collins only presented a texted G-rated version of violence that occurs in every home across the globe because Mr. Piersanti and Mr. Beets chose not to listen as grown young adults.  Dr. Collins followed the instructions of Boston Police on how to word the written messages.  One of the Ten Commandments state, “Thou shalt not steal,” in which Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti violated that twice – stealing from me, then cleaned out the house with items and furniture not belonging to them.  For the time rented at 228 Washington, and meeting the neighbors at 226 Washington, Dr. Collins has never performed the sexual acts or physical violence toward anyone.

As indicated through MCAD intake process, my entire assumption from the marketing materials and the voice of Mr. Piersanti was to meet African-Americans (black) people like me.  The entire assumption became untrue so Dr. Collins attempted to make it work.  However, in the basement was an Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.’s remnant of a large cardboard check that the home must have been rented by African-Americans (black people) at some point.  With SplitSpot marketing of the strong, African-American red, black, and green flag presents an element of struggle and black power for all the slave ancestors, and I am a slave descendant, who knows the blood, sweat, and tears of the make-up of that flag with the history behind it.  The marketing of the same elements is still up at the time of this response.  This MMC ATTACHMENT H and MMC ATTACHMENT I describes this marketing tactic.

SplitSpot knew from the application process that Dr. Collins had a schizophrenic and PTSD disability based on the Social Security Disability Insurance award letter (MMC ATTACHMENT J) and phone conversation on the earliest possible move-in date.  SplitSpot’s position statement included the stereotypical elements of low income and low credit score to indicate Dr. Collins is an African-American male, plus his SplitSpot profile (MMC ATTACHMENT K) showed the elements of being a black male.  SplitSpot also advertised and marketed the rentable location (“228 Washington”) as toward African-Americans especially those of black, fraternal groups.  Dr. Collins went through the process and became a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (weblink: www.apa1906.net) founded December 4, 1906.  SplitSpot is also a company for foreign investors to funnel large sums of money through renting out foreclosed homes as an upgraded mafia in Corporate America and housing industry.

11. Dr. Collins has very defined mental health issues of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) throughout his life treated through hospitals, clinics, government departments, emergency rooms, medication, and outpatient therapy from 2007 to present.

Dr. Collins came to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in August 2020 during the pandemic and he encountered some issues (similar to statement #13) with the Massachusetts homeless shelters, 112 Southampton Street Shelter owned and operated by Boston Public Health Commission, and non-profit organization of Pine Street Inn Men’s Shelter.

15. Dr. Collins started apartment and room hunting since August 2020, but it was my first encounter that for affordable housing is a five (5) year waiting list for the Boston city limits area, and rooms requiring a co-signer or a credit score of 680 or more.  It took Dr. Collins two and half years to get to statement number #16.

16. Dr. Collins situation became serious room and apartment hunting in January 2023.  He still had the same issues of co-signer or not having a credit score of 680 or more, but had guaranteed income.  Dr. Collins went through SplitSpot’s process of obtaining a room at 228 Washington St, Brighton, MA.  Dr. Collins went through the process angrily because of stress and it was a cold winter.  Dr. Collins talked over the phone with Mr. Piersanti, left voice messages for Mr. Pace and Mr. Beets, texted Mr. Beets, Mr. Pace, and Mr. Piersanti, and emailed Mr. Pace, Mr. Beets, and Mr. Piersanti, to get through the roommate introduction.  The communication occurred through January 14-16, 2023 and the roommate approved me.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit A

24. SplitSpot documents and marketing materials stated a leasing person supposed to meet and provide key at 228 Washington St, Brighton, MA at 4:00 PM EST.   Prior to the meeting, Dr. Collins asked SplitSpot and the roommates on, “Who would I be meeting at the property?” On January 19, 2023, Dr. Collins arrived at 228 Washington St, Brighton, MA at 4:00 PM EST on a cold afternoon, and looked around no one was there.  Dr. Collins knocked on the door and no one answered.  Dr. Collins rang doorbell and no one answered.  Dr. Collins waited and came close to feeling hypothermia.  Dr. Collins texted all parties.  This is personal injury number one (#1) and playing on my mental health issues.

26. On January 20, 2023, Dr. Collins moves from his storage unit and the homeless shelter into SplitSpot location, 228 Washington St, Brighton, Massachusetts.  Prior to moving into the room, SplitSpot property and tenant handsheet / slimmed handbook stated tenants are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the location.  Dr. Collins meets and talks with Mr. Beets, another roommate.

31. On Saturday, January 21, 2023 later that afternoon approximately 4:00 PM, Mr. Piersanti tried to offer stuff that Dr. Collins do not drink or eat, and Mr. Piersanti explicitly did not indicate it was his stuff.  Mr. Beets did the same tactic too in offering stuff that Dr. Collins do not drink or eat, and Mr. Beets explicitly did not indicate it was his stuff.  Upon some observance and investigation, Dr. Collins saw Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti were offering expired foods and drink to harm Dr. Collins. Dr. Collins spoke verbally to Mr. Piersanti and sent this text to the entire group (Mr. Piersanti, Mr. Beets, and Mr. Pace), “As I spoke to Zane and I stock up on food, snacks, and whatever else, please do not hesitate to eat (not everything) if you see something you like, just provide a donation, just ask, or let me know if I have the same reciprocation with your items.  I am using the left two large cabinets above and below between the sink and small dining area / trash bin.”  This is personal injury and inciting physical injury number three (#3) to Dr. Collins.  The only thing Dr. Collins saw Mr. Piersanti eat was soup, ramen noodles and bringing in milk.  The only thing Dr. Collins saw Mr. Beets eat was anything he cooked and stored in the refrigerator.  Mr. Piersanti explicitly stated do not touch anything stored in the containers and food was left there by other people.  Dr. Collins questioned himself, “Why did no one clean the refrigerator?”  Dr. Collins warned them not to eat his food or drink.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit C.

32. On January 25, 2023, Dr. Collins creates new texting thread with just Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti.  Dr. Collins still notices missing items from his section of the cabinets he stated with his daughter and his food and drinks.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit C.

33. Monday, January 30, 2023, Dr. Collins was not home, but Mr. Pace texted in the group thread that he is finally moved out.  Mr. Pace removed some furniture like the television away, but left some very nice, brand new furniture (office desk, television stand with storage, and a sofa futon) behind for the house to use.  Dr. Collins does not know if Mr. Pace ate or drank any of Dr. Collins and his child’s food and drink items.

34. On February 1, 2023, Dr. Collins started going to the American Red Cross at Boston Food Bank to collect additional food.  Dr. Collins kept the items he was going to use and offered the rest to Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti.  Mr. Beets said, “No.”  Mr. Piersanti said, “Yes, to the plantains.”

35. On February 2, 2023, Dr. Collins and Mr. Piersanti received through the text thread that Mr. Beets spoke to a potential roommate, Ms. Crossman.  Ms. Crossman social media gave various names and different looks along with a pet. Mr. Beets was advocating heavily for Ms. Crossman, but Dr. Collins explicitly told the group thread that pet dogs lash out when angry and Dr. Collins have had plenty of traumatic experiences with dogs.  Not knowing SplitSpot roommate system, Dr. Collins rejected Ms. Crossman, and emailed Ms. Crossman the reason why, but told her that it is a one out of three votes for the property.  Dr. Collins asked Mr. Piersanti if any pets stated on the property and what was his opinion.  Mr. Piersanti ruled that it did not matter either way, and he never seen any pets.  SplitSpot handbook and online information stated no pets.  Dr. Collins also indicated that two mental health people in one house would be very intense.  Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti again started playing on mental health issues.  This is personal injury and inciting physical injury four (#4) to Dr. Collins.

36. Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti talk way more than usual than to Dr. Collins, or keeping Dr. Collins in the loop.  This is personal injury number five (#5) to Dr. Collins.

37. Dr. Collins has been doing property maintenance, such as cleaning the shared bathroom once a week, sweeping the floors once a week, emptying the trash, providing the house with new air fresheners, and doing the mail.

38. Monday, February 13, 2023, Mr. Piersanti went in my food cabinet, opened Dr. Collins and his child’s Honey Nut Cheerios cereal, and ate it right in front of my face.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit C.

39. Tuesday, February 14, 2023, Dr. Collins pulled on his experiences from statement #13 and along with the Boston Police’s advice to use any type of colorful language along with profanity, but no active shooter content like Citibank situation, and Dr. Collins lambasted Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti for not listening or reciprocating.  Mr. Piersanti and Dr. Collins was in a heated text argument battle on his choice of punishment.  Dr. Collins again repeated review of statement #1, #11, #12, #13, and #14 inside the email.  Mr. Piersanti gave full admission to eating and drinking items that Dr. Collins saw, but did not make any additional admission to anything Dr. Collins did not see.

40. Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti stayed away from the house or anytime Dr. Collins was present in the house for full avoidance.  This is personal injury and emotional distress number six (#6) to Dr. Collins.

41. SplitSpot got a copy of email and text, and said nothing.

42. Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti moved out of 228 Washington St, Brighton, Massachusetts on February 21 and 22, 2023.  Dr. Collins accidentally was still home and stay home.  Dr. Collins asked, “Why and where they moving out?”  Dr. Collins also asked twice, “Did you want to speak about anything?”  Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti angrily stated, “No.”  Dr. Collins stated to Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti if mail arrives, “Could you please send me your forwarding address?”  Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti said, “Okay.”  Dr. Collins did offer to help move items, but Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti stated, “We can handle it.”  Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti clean out the house with their items and the items and furniture that did not belong to them.  Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti only left what Dr. Collins needed or was using, which is the microwave.  This is personal injury and inciting emotional distress number seven (#7), and elevate Dr. Collins post-traumatic stress disorder.  This type of situation was an exact replica and reminiscent of Dr. Collins divorce from my ex, who cleaned out my/our apartment with her stuff, the children stuff, and Dr. Collins stuff except for what she wanted to keep and have.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit C.

43. On February 22, 2023, Dr. Collins notified SplitSpot on an update on the roommates of Mr. Pace, Mr. Piersanti, and Mr. Beets.  SplitSpot still says nothing.

44. Later on the evening of February 23, 2023 while Dr. Collins was attending a USATF sanctioned track and field meet at The TRACK at New Balance.  Right before Dr. Collins’s 60m race, SplitSpot responded and stated that they received the email and did not like the language, or potential behavior presented so Dr. Collins had to leave the property too.  SplitSpot summary was one do wrong anywhere, evict everyone despite Dr. Collins signing 12-month lease.  This is personal and professional injury, inciting emotional distress number eight (#8), and severely elevated ALL Dr. Collins’s mental health issues and concerns in statement #11.  SplitSpot did not ask Dr. Collins any questions on what happened to arrive to the email and text.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit D.

45. Dr. Collins responded that the decision was not right for Mr. Beets and Mr. Piersanti to thieve and steal, and Dr. Collins got punish for it.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit D.

46. After Dr. Collins’s 60m race on February 23, 2023, Dr. Collins went into Boston Police precinct and file a police report against SplitSpot and Mr. Piersanti.  Boston Police stated that the other folks have to report on their own about their stuff being stolen.  Boston Police filed a police report for theft and fraud against SplitSpot and Mr. Piersanti.  Boston Police Report #I232014361.  Supporting evidence – Exhibit B.

47. Prior to SplitSpot, Boston Police Precinct A and Precinct D authorize and gave Dr. Collins permission to self-defense if humans choose not to listen or disobey after fair warnings via written and verbal.

48. Dr. Collins also reported this situation to Capital One Bank and Better Business Bureau.

Capital One Bank did not return my money so I ended up closing my accounts. SplitSpot stated returning my funds, but never did so.  The room and house is still in litigation.  But I clean that house out of every remnant of any previous roommates' stuff to have SplitSpot start over.  Massachusetts Attorney General's Office mention it is a bit difficult to go after SplitSpot because it is a new type of company.  However, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office did offer to help me fight SplitSpot if I stayed on the property.  Massachusetts Attorney General's Office did confirm suing for damages is the best bet to get my money and profit from the situation.

MCAD and the Civil Suit against Massachusetts, City of Boston, 112 Southampton Street, Boston Public Health Commission was dismissed and no help from attorneys except explaining the process. I had an MCAD appeal hearing for Southampton and Boston Public Health Commission.  It was good, but not my best defensive or debating work although I learned how to make my next complaint better.  My sarcastic perception is, "Oh, so they did not anything to me, right?"  This sarcastic concept has been playing out since 2007 at United States Department of Defense/Northrop Grumman/KForce

Does everyone see and understand why I am leaving, right?

So am I wrong for texting and emailing my behavior as a warning versus pulverizing him into the floor?

What would you have done?

Professional look through the Past via Technology

I did the work on the technology and handled business concerns, but now it is time to comprehend what really was going on with the technology and business topics.

I started my LinkedIn Learning benefit with Boston Public Library.  LinkedIn Learning does have relevant topics that you can get certificates in.  Since I am focused on business, management, leadership, and technology, it has been a fun experience learning about and watching demos of Oracle technologies, Linux technologies, and the current trending topics of management and leadership.

So far the LinkedIn Learning (formerly lynda . com) are as follows:

1 - How to Regain Control of Your Time, Energy, and Priorities

2 - Oracle Autonomous Database

3 - Demonstrating Accountability as a Leader

4 - Essential French in Two Hours with Paul Noble

5 - Essential Lessons for First-Time Managers

6 - Deploying Exchange Server 2016

7 - Project Management Skills for Leaders

8 - QuickBooks Online Essential Training

9 - Learning Cloud Computing: Core Concepts

10 - Learning Oracle Database 19c

11 - Setting Up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server

12 - What is Business Analysis?

I did go through Exchange 2016 training to learn what happened behind the scenes of me spinning out of control during my mental illness and mental health concerns.  Most of my professional career was based on Microsoft technologies, in which I gained some stuff, but loss more than gain behind doing business and technology.  What I meant by doing the technology is that I am performing tasks on the or in the technology without understanding the concept of why, the language of the technology, and/or the purpose of the task in the technology.  Yes, it probably was part burnout, but I saw some things and visions that I did not see before so I had to back track.  I saw the command line like in Terminal and PowerShell a lot in 2016.

(Previous Journal topics - I just was repeating them to new people verbally)

Topics Cognitive Behavior Therapy or Cognitive Processing Therapy (homework on myself)

I started ABC Worksheets. I had to write/type out Activating Event (A) "Something Happens", Belief (B) "I tell myself something", Consequence (C) "I feel something"

Since this is ongoing therapy, I am going to only write the Activating Event (A) "Something happens"

29 - Roommates

30 - Blessings

Along with the ABC Worksheets, I started Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Emotional Regulation to associate a feeling I need to change.

However, my MassHealth insurance has been taken over with WellSense and I have changed back to Massachusetts General Brigham hospital.

Boston Medical Center does provide a lot for patients.  I just discovered they have a food pantry too.  I was referred there through a substituting female doctor subbing for my male doctor.  All my medical and health numbers were in a perfect range except my blood glucose (sugar) was a tad bit low.  This appointment was at the end of the month, when my SNAP ran out and I had to figure out other vegetarian and vegan options while squeezing and penny pinching my money.  Yes, I do eat, but not as much while watching and monitoring my calories.

Boston Medical Center - January 2023 visit was normal. I had to speak with the doctor regarding my toes.  My left foot toenails were darker and not pink anymore so he prescribed Terbinafine (Oral) to be taken everyday for three months.  It stops the nail and toe fungus from growing, then the new nail begins to grow.

I attended University of Phoenix Career Services workshops, such as Prepare for the Interview, Resume Tips to Help You Get Noticed, Strategic Networking, and Writing an Effective Cover Letter.  I attended and got training for University of Phoenix mentor program.  The first mentee was someone with an ongoing masters degree program and two doctoral degree programs while he is authoring textbook or articles around cybersecurity.  The second mentee is a female and awaiting response.

I attended DeVry University Keller Graduate School of Management Alumni and Career Services workshops, such as Managing Change and Discover Your Strengths.

I attended Match Event: Anti-Valentine's Happy Hour at D's Keys Dueling Pianos in Boston, Massachusetts.  This event had a mixed crowd of people that targeted 30s to 50s.  It was funny because it was two piano players karaoking songs or part of songs at the request of the audience plus tips.

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin was suggested by one of my military friend.  It was a good six hour read. I can understand the elements on why James Baldwin was more peaceful living a confused life overseas than in America.  I started thinking about all of the celebrities, such as Josephine Baker, Tina Turner, Tom Hanks and wife, etc., prefer to have secondary citizenships in other countries.  James Baldwin mentioned he left the USA and went to Europe with only $40.  The book was very intense and hot in describing all the situations.  The book is rated close to 5 stars everywhere, public libraries have all recent checkout versions, and I finally got a hold of an archived, original copy.

Massachusetts Vocational Rehabilitation Commission was and it supposed to help me become gainfully employed. However, I spoke and had a meeting with AmericaWorks, who gave me the warning and data that my trail period was over by two months. My only assumption was Social Security Administration must have gotten data from the Internal Revenue Service so I had to rethink work after New York situation.  I thought about it and I probably will not go back to work in the United States of America, but prep myself to do what my website states in Europe because I will not be able to carry Social Security Disability Insurance over there.  This is for the SSA Ticket to Work program.  I did discover that Massachusetts Vocational Rehabilitation Commission is assigned to me.  I will apply for Social Security retirement though if I live to take it out.

My Busuu live lessons workshops went away, so I am patiently waiting to understand what they are planning to launch in place of live lessons.  It does get me thinking.  I took LinkedIn Learning French lessons in two hours and it was good.

My Lenovo laptop went down when my patient wore out with upgrading to Windows 11 Professional 22H2, and BitLocker running thus laptop died, which Lenovo support was on point to get and ship the laptop for service very efficiently.  However, when it returned with Windows 10 and all my applications were running smoothly, I was a delightful user.  I keep clicking those buttons to say, "No, Windows 11."  I am using Boston Public Library and Cambridge Public Library for my large technology downloads, then transferring them to my laptop.

I attended an Oracle Webinars named "Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Instances" and "Ask the Architect: How to Modernize Packaged App Deployments Using Kubernetes on OCI"

I cancelled my Massachusetts General Brigham Sexual Health Clinic appointment because my primary care at Boston Medical Center took care of the Truvada tasks plus HIV/STD/STI bloodwork.

As the SplitSpot and Pine Street Inn shenaningans happened, it placed me on the streets of Boston a month and a half earlier than my usual April time.  It is cold as heck, but I am glad I had my survival kit from Washington, DC.  I have to think of a new plan for this upcoming Winter.

Citizens to Elect Collins for Governor was created when I had the vision of becoming South Carolina's first Black governor.  I did the paperwork with the federal government, state government, and social media to create the group. Unfortunately, I never ran and changed course after running for South Carolina State Senate.  I did not go to school for that.  On the other hand, the federal government attempted to reach me at my South Carolina address in which I was not there, then I received a packet from the federal government (Internal Revenue Service) with the corrected name and address in Massachusetts.  Anyone need confirmation that the government will find you if necessary...ROFTLMBAO.  I sent in my final and terminated tax return for the Citizens to Elect Collins for Governor with additional corrected information.

I reconnected with my social networks and folks.  It is a different vibe as an adult.  The intensity of the activities was all of sudden released after leaving Pine Street Inn.  Or is it apart of aging?

I renewed my biennial report with Washington, DC for Collins Incorporated.  I have been thinking plenty on my business lately.

I went to two USATF indoor track meets, the New England Indoor Championships at Harvard University, and Night at the Track at The TRACK at New Balance.

It was interesting how fast the water weight and fat weight returns coming off all appetite control and weight loss control regimes.

No sex with another person for January, February, and March 2023, but self-pleasuring was delightful and very enjoyable.

Other Topics from Summer, Fall, and Winter 2022:

I did participate in Yoga held at Boston Public Library during the summer months.

From my Nokia first cellphone to current Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy Smartphone Apps:

Flickr app works just as good as the website.  I have not updated Flickr because I have few room for photos left for the next years before actually paying for the subscription for more space.

Extended Stay America app is not as good as the emails.  I like it as an alternative when Marriott or Hilton does not have what I need.

Payoneer app is a good international company app. It came just in time for Collins Incorporated. As I plan how to manage growth internationally and domestically.  It still competes with QuickBooks and Oracle on evaluation of the best accounting applications.

Preva Mobile app is still does not work right. I just tried again to connect my online PREVA fitness equipment account.  The fitness equipment is keeping my statistics though.

Github app is my online developer account. I do not plan to do any major contributions because I have ruled out and will never become an application programmer.  I did not go to school for that except for web pages and web sites.  Even though, the title application developer is a misleading position.

First Aid app by American Red Cross is okay, but will probably got into an inactive state or sleep.

Joel Osteen app works just as good as the website.  Still get my bedside Baptist ministries in.

Dictionary app works pretty well to understand old school terminologies and new generation terminologies.

Rockbot app works pretty good because I returned back to Planet Fitness.

NAVICA app is COVID-19 app to compliment the Binax NOW COVid-19 applications.
