TOPIC: Happy Independence Day...Just Simply Talking

Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) with SplitSpot and Pine Street Inn is in the appeals process.  For some odd reason, I am telling them racism and discrimination during and after the end result of any situation. I am telling before applying for services and jobs, and now no one is hiring or accepting me for housing for telling before.  What is the importance of Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination?  Just like Southampton, what is the importance of Boston Public Health Commission?

Street money donations to me went to Boston Public Library (BPL), Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

I obtained my Zumba certification and started practicing plus putting videos on YouTube. I have joined the important Zumba groups.  I got my first education course Cueing Like A Pro for free.  My first instructor class was in Foxboro, Massachusetts at Fit Factory. It was fun and I was the only African (Cameroonian)-American male in the class.  The photo is on my photostreams.  Zumba did let me know I am independent contractor while doing classes.  Along with my fitness coach interview from OrangeTheory, I received the inside track of how much personal trainers and group fitness instructors are paid per hour.  I will be working a lot.  I toured a space using Peerspace to host my first class.  I am debating whether to go back to the Hartford Business Insurance or try K and K business insurance for the first time.

I am working with Massachusetts Vocational Rehabilitation Commission and they have done a wonderful job in helping revamp my resume, begin getting the motivation to job search, and listen to similar topics to DeVry University and University of Phoenix.  They tried to push me to talk about my future like I was crazy, but I simply told them the past and present issues at hand.  The only future situation is the upcoming Olympics 2024.

I attended another Inclusion Summit with the University of Phoenix.

My project and program management skills are very beneficial in managing the limited income and benefits.

My Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or food stamps benefits went from $450 per month during pandemic with federal help, then to $200 per month with state help, and now to $20 per month a reality in having cash available, and mind you I am still under the poverty line and low-income status.

My Medicare benefits are coming for the first time.  I had to inquire about how to get my medical premium paid for and MassHealth Medicaid had an answer for me plus an application. I sent the application right back in. At the same time, I returned back to my roots with applying for Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Part C with the ultimate plan including all the bells and whistles.  BCBS also offers international travel insurance plans too.  I am excited.  Hello again Anthem BCBS and CareFirst BCBS.  Nothing the other insurance policies, but I was introduced with BCBS when I had my internship with the federal government.

After suppressing my sugar for a long time, and no sugar and carbs diet, my body went haywire in March 2023, I gained ten (10) pounds because metabolism or the hunger gene or starvation body notification kept going off like crazy.  I am drinking plenty of Powerade and Vitamin Water, eating a lot of 7-Eleven Pizzas and McDonald's French Fries combined with my nutritional shakes, Lenny and Larry's cookies, One A Day Multivitamin, and Metamucil.  I went back to Digestive Advantage gummies again.  Someone really loved my glowing skin, which means the collagen vitamin powders is working.

I attended a Meetup Memorial Day Picnic in Cambridge and it was fun. I met plenty of people. We played throw the football. I saw some new games that I never seen before. I spoke with a variety of different people.  I played UNO and got some free food at the park.  Thanks for a great time, Tal as the host and others.  We shared food and drinks as well.

City of Boston Election Board sent me another rejection notice stating I am not allowed to vote, but I cannot help the automated processes connected to the RMV and any other departments to capture new residents.

Massachusetts is finally giving up sex in 2023, very surprising and I wonder why.

I attended the United States Department of State Foreign Service seminar. It was very enlightening and helpful to understand the positions.  I gave real-time questions and got real-time answers.

I have a mentee from the University of Phoenix and met twice already to help guide her during her doctoral journey and process.  I attended the University of Phoenix mentor and mentee conference in June 2023.  It feels good helping someone else during their journey.

I changed therapist services until I find the right one.  I left Boston Medical Center, then went to Life Stance, and then Trust Therapists, and then TCA Counseling Group, and then Boston Neurobehavioral.

I attended the Volontaire Paris Olympics 2024 Webinar, which gave more insight on the volunteer process.  I am glad an investigation is going on regarding the Paris Olympics 2024 ticketing process, but I could not find any affordable seats for any of my events, such as athletics and basketball.  Remaining athletic tickets were $900 per seat and basketball medaling ceremony games did not have anything.

I spent my birthday in Raynham, Massachusetts at the Marriott Courtyard. I did the gym, went to Walmart, ate at Applebee's, listen to audiobooks, synchronize my computer with the cloud, my smartphone and new USB drive, socialized over the sex apps and finally got one friend to come over, and slept naked.  Yes, I made phone call to the Federal Express attorney team.  I saw somewhat of the suburban and countryside of Greater Boston area. 

Celebrating by communicating like no tomorrow across social media apps and at the Marriott Courtyard plus switching rooms in a different part of Massachusetts.  Massachusetts has mobile homes parks, ya'll, all neat, clean, groomed to a 'T', and sparkly.  It is my first trip on MBTA's Purple line or regional rail and GBTA bus system.

Black Entertainment Television "12 Years a Slave" movie pissed me the heck off.  United States of America truly showed the separation of and disruption the African-American/Black family.  It is still done through the courts.

Eric Tolendano and Olivier Nakache French film "The Intouchables" movie was fresh and exciting about two heterosexual men taking care of each other and serving a purpose in each other lives.  English subtitles were great.  I was able to match the language with how they say it French.  However, the movie does depict Africans or Black people are the same no matter where we are.  It was combined sad and happy emotional ending.

I lost another USB drive or taken from my back pocket, but re-purchased another one with storage upgrade. Still sending everything to the technology cloud.

I ate my meal (grilled salmon, steamed broccoli, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, vanilla ice cream, and blondie) at Applebee's and got a buzz from Peach on the Beach.

I had a happy birthday. God blessed me to see another year.  Thank you and I am grateful.

I am still going to American Red Cross Boston Food Pantry and Boston Medical Center Food Pantry.

One of the individual human defendants is trying to settle and get out of a lawsuit they brought on themselves.  I do not submit. I do not tolerate racism or discrimination in any shape form or fashion.

I met with Pine Street Inn leasing department for their permanent housing locations.

I attended the Boston Public Library Morning Brew discussing the preservation of Boston communities’ histories.

I registered for the USATF Masters Championships and already booked everything.

I attended my first Tend Dental appointment. They gave a referral to O'Trafford Dental Specialists and they were going to restart the same process as Tend to provide treatment for my 20-year root canal issue.

I attended Massachusetts Superior Court Hearing regarding Southampton and met the attorney general staff member attorney representing Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  I spoke with the attorney after we got instructions from Judge and we, the attorney and I, discussed the notice of appearances and withdrawals during the case.

I had my Massachusetts Superior Court Rule 16 (Pre-Trial) Conference and it was okay.  The attorney and an unexpected individual human defendant showed up, and bombarded the Judge.  I kept calm and got my instructions.  We are in the discovery phase.  Just as fast Federal Express attorney team sending documents, and I sending the same punch or even harder back.

I did a lot of surveys.  I updated my EZPassNY account.  My Great Lakes account moved or migrated to the parent company Nelnet.  Edfinancial/IDAPP is upgrading their systems too.  I hope they are holding back the already payments made until the systems are finished upgrading.  Joel Osteen is still giving great messages.  I am still reading United States Congressmen and Congresswomen newsletters and emails.  IBM reimagined my machine after installation of another SSD PC Card upgrade...thank goodness for backups. IBM Support did help after to find the parts that were missing from my machine, which was not on the original custom order.  I signed up for another Google and FaceBook class action suit. Zoom application is becoming a more important role for my classes and meeting new individuals.

I requested my Annual Credit Report and saw some accounts as expected dropped off.  I spoke to Paris 2024 Olympics - On Location Experience for the Olympic and Paralympic Games provided okay packages, but not customizable enough for customer to enough the events of his/her choice especially when priced $15,000 plus per week.

I attended the French Library Online Conversation Club and a Soiree.  I researched more on the French language certifications.

The audio books are still letting me know what is happening in the world and how the world thinks.  I am going through African-American/Black authors works and books because I am African-American/Black first.  If time permits and I finish the African-American/Black authors, then I will visit other races and ethnicities on similar topics.

Eric Jerome Dickey's Blackbirds was a good sibling or friends’ story.  I really loved my family and friends, but I guess I was slighted on always seeing the best version of themselves.  I could not get too angry with someone (biological father and his family) that was never there.  Thank goodness for getting through my child molestation therapy that I never encountered soft dicks or penises.  The cocks, dicks, or penises I chased after or chased after me were good and great, and each one knew how to fuck or make love.  I did meet some kings of ding-a-lings (for example 11 inches length by 7 inches round), but did not challenge myself to take them.  I want to meet a dude with diphallia or anyone as a hermaphrodite.  I still have not encountered the best besides myself.  Unfortunately, my last bottoming or submission experience was 2010 after chasing each other for five years.  I am very glad I evolved in being a dominant top or Type A or active male for females and males.  This is probably another reason for me not getting along with males because I do not submit to anyone except to a female who wants the moment for an hour or two.  I am very proud of the dominant and aggressive females that I had in life that taught me a good lesson or two in bed.  I am very proud of the super feminine and submissive females that fed my ego to the max.  It is only one vagina or pussy that I had had superpowers over me like kryptonite before I had to let her go.  Yes, if I had preference, priority order 1. Vagina or Pussy, 2. Ass or Butt, 3. Dick or Cock or Penis in any sexual activity in the present or future.  Most posts will be written in another language.  This is not a coming out story, but taking the power from those who live to disrupt my peace, harmony, and healing, and my optimistic future.  Friendships can be cherished if life can allow such closeness over time.

Eric Jerome Dickey's Genevieve was a good family story with a horny spouse.  The past can be a detrimental thing, when people have to change names and stay away from family for years or decades.  Despite all that happens in and with family, when a strong spouse goes through her final therapeutic session and stands by her man that is a bond no one can go against.  Yes, Genevieve "Lakeisha Shawnna Smith" Forbes was my favorite character.

Eric Jerome Dickey's Drive Me Crazy was okay, but highlights again the spin on journalism on high crime, affairs, and mischievous moves.  Even though, Earl "Driver" was the main character, his weakness was women and an impersonation of intelligence personality.  This story highlights the horrible side of law enforcement, and overstepping and overuse of the law enforcement powers even after someone is long gone or left the force.  This reflected back on my situations in Maryland, Ohio, and New York, "Who put all levels of law enforcement up to the decision when there was no supporting evidence?"  Ohio, I can admit I was wrong, but could have been let go with a warning.  Maryland and New York, as I mentioned an arrest for no reason, "Who made the decision?"  Washington, DC and Delaware, still chasing me until something happens for when I miss child support payments and this is because of my ignorance or lack of knowledge of having a child is a criminal offense whether in or out of wedlock, but the church and family sees a child as a blessing and then rip the family apart.  Soul stirring Rufus was my comedian in this book.  The band of the two brothers was hilarious.  Samantha "Panther" helps me understand how she came into Earl "Driver's" life and comes into play for Eric Jerome Dickey's Naughty or Nice.  Plagiarism is so real, but Corporate America rejects original thoughts from people like myself, but everyone and even the news steal ideas to what can make the headlines or makes profits.  And I am labeled the crazy one and loss all my sh*t.

Eric Jerome Dickey's Bad Men and Wicked Women was excellent.  Jake Ellis and Ken Swift were my favorite characters in this one.  I need an African male, heterosexual bull co-worker or friend like Jake Ellis in my life.  This was another action packed and suspensefully written piece of work.  Heterosexuals and Lesbians need to treat the wife right because the ones perceived weak and unsuspecting are the most powerful in a spouse's downfall.  This story did give the perspective on how everything is the same in war and fighting, and the glorified world is partially fixed especially in the fields of journalism, such as what makes the news and how a severe crime scene(s) has/have a whole lotta spin.  The good jobs perceived to be good and stable, but those getting the good and stable jobs do not realize the grunt work put into having that position.  The business of money laundering and blood money is a concept I understand regarding the San Bernadino business.  The real banks tried to show me how it is done with a little bit of my money and my own money.  Most people believe killers or murderers have no heart, but this story gave whole another perception of protection around offspring, mistreated individuals, and family. In my heyday, this is why South Carolina, Georgia, and Washington, DC knew to contact Marvell (Jake Ellis and Ken Swift combined) and he will handle it, and I do not mind reliving it for any future offspring, protected class of people that can't defend themselves, and family.  I have not killed anyone, yet, and if I did, I would not incriminate myself publicly, I would call someone like San Bernadino or ensure my DNA and GPS tracking is nowhere near the crime scene. Eric Jerome Dickey's books are having me flashback hard to my visit in 2011 to California...I actually physically saw most of the places, streets, and all he described.

Eric Jerome Dickey's A Wanted Woman was very action packed just like an action movie. A 14-hour audiobook.  The main character "The Woman of a 1,000 faces" or "Reaper" or "MX401" was very good depiction of a superb assassin.  I was highly impressed.  In combination with movies, such as John Wick, 007, Wanted, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Equalizer plus violent video games plus news information about gangs, they all inform me that the Cain and Abel biblical depiction of life that killing without remorse does exist. The United States legal world and business world kept driving me into a path I never saw in real life as a way to make a living or never told by education in schools/college/universities.  My foundational thought growing up was anyone dying by a gun or bullet was an accident, or someone was angry, or run away from the scene, and to always stay away from guns.  As my honest way of living is dwindling down to nothing in the United States of America, no work experience in other avenues of work, or my work experience exceeds W-2, 1099, and Corporate-to-Corporate jobs, I want to meet a real assassin who got started with or without blood money. I do not want drug dealer money because it is too complicated.  Doctoral research on my mental health issues already state that I have the capability to do it.  As a former armed security guard plus my first legal gun license permit does start the seeding.  As a former member of US Veteran Reserve Corp, I saw the weapon training at a secret location for assassins.  The name or lingo changes from calling someone a mercenary.  The lottery and lawsuits are long shots in trying to get money for all my losses.  I am going to give this sports and fitness career a try, but I am inching closer to the unconsidered side of life that is coming out for real if I remain in United States of America.  I always wondered by inflation and expensive locations going up, how people could afford that lifestyle?!?!  I could travel and know the world another way.  Honest living does take on a different connation.  The hurt each other never stopped since the beginning of life.

Eric Jerome Dickey's One Night is a book recommended for everyone.  I thought just like the character of "Man from Orange County."  I am no more NAIVE about women.  I really, really, sincerely really did not know about how WOMEN think, process, and do sh*t. Jacqueline Francesca Parker Summers is one h*ll of a woman.

Best line: Crazy Got to Understand Crazy

2nd Best line:  Who wants to battle for Cheesecake?

Me: 20 babies...but I will settle to make or have four (4) babies...or at least keep trying.  Thank God for this life's break to understand the world.

Eric Jerome Dickey's Naughtier than Nice was super naughty and connected so well.  My favorite characters turned into an insane asylum with everyone stubborn.  It was a complete opposite of the Naughty or Nice. This book does put in perspective what people do to get money or materialistic things or destroy their own lives. Criminals, con artists, people constantly changing their names or identity, blackmailers, and women or men scorn over a bad breakup do not come to me to pull a scam or got residual feelings.  Everything was done the first time around in my life and my apologies for being Fort Knox, US Federal Reserve Bank, the Pentagon, and the entire United States Department of Defense forged as one unit.  Thanks to all the servicemembers men and women who do serve in the military and fought for the USA to be free to be crazy.  I like somewhat of the James Baldwin connection using the Beale Streets character.  Again, everyone said I was crazy or insane.  Now, I am definitely going somewhere else to have another country fight for my freedom after this book.

Eric Jerome Dickey’s Naughty or Nice was super hot and funny.  Michael “CarpeDiem0707” Davidson and Olivia “Livvy” McBroom Badera are my favorite characters.  There is nothing on this earth that can match a woman’s orgasm.  Michael “Carpe” reminded me of being such a terrible person to the women in Atlanta, Georgia; Washington, District of Columbia; Maryland; and Chicago, Illinois for making the pussy or vagina talk, vibrate, gush, and sing, and put the women to sleep.  Atlanta gave me my first Male-Female-Male (MFM) ménage à trois, but I will experience my Female-Female-Male-Female (FFMF) or Female-Male-Female (FMF) before I leave this world.  My self-pleasure (masturbation) to all my fantasies with women is so fulfilling.  Second chances on anything or anyone is where I get f*cked up with the exception of Planet Fitness and Crunch Fitness, or the gyms, and track and field.  I believe and know there is an abundance of first chances and I will continue to chase those first chances until the end of time.  I am that motherf*cking sex athlete.

E. Lynn Harris’s What Becomes of the Brokenhearted is well deserving, and connects all the books together or at least gives the backdrop of how the books are written.  I saved this book for last.  Washington, DC’s Black Pride Memorial Day weekend was strong in 1980s and still going strong in 2020s.  So many memories for me.  Traxx nightclub DC was around in the 1980s….I did not see it until the 1990s.  Good times dancing and chatting up conversation, and lots and lots of hugs.  E. Lynn Harris books are therapeutic for plenty of various topics.  It is disappointing how introverted E. Lynn Harris was, but real as alcoholism takes over, depression takes life to a specific low, and introverts driven for all their love in one person.  I am very touched by his books coming at the right time of my life.  Thank you, E. Lynn Harris and co-authors.  Thanks to the publishing company, actors, and actresses making the audiobooks possible.

I love all of you despite all our differences.  I am grateful for the organizations I joined, programs I participated, and schools/universities attended.  I am grateful for therapy, medical, medication, and health help by all the research, doctors, nurses, and other heroes.  I am grateful for my families, my friends, my social networks, my teammates, my peers, my co-workers, and those I met once in meetings, passing by, or conversations.  I never took anything or anyone for granted.  I am healing, but willing to talk and discuss about anything.  I appreciate and love myself, and my spirit.  God is the best person to keep first.

E. Lynn Harris and R. M. Johnson’s No One in the World was very well written.  The End leaves room for more or an encore.  Colby Aiden Winslow is my favorite character.  I did not like him at first, but he knew family.  Cissy Winslow is a close second favorite character.  Tyler, the US Senator, was a good character also describing the benefits of family and how the world sees people.  From all E. Lynn books presents attorneys as whores.  Captain-Save-A-Hoe was a funny line.  Family has it benefits, but for me, my family said my life would’ve been this way or that way and ended up being all lies for my entire life with the exception of my ex female partner that only came out right.  Everyone is a criminal in some shape or form.  However, the legal profession is making a path of reality on making someone like me a criminal despite all the education and navigation I prevented to get caught.  As a criminal, I never do random…I presented everything upfront…I send everything including the consequences directly back to the source.  Afraid of YOU…h*ll no.  This book provides the sides of what family, people, and criminals do when anyone is in a tough spot.  For Massachusetts, I tell the truth at the time it happened, then everyone does whatever it takes to turn it into lie.  Again, to reiterate “Afraid of YOU…h*ll no!”

E. Lynn Harris’s Any Way the Wind Blows was good.  John Basil Henderson is my favorite character.  Bartholomew “Bart” Dunbar reminded me so much of all the gay men that wanted to out me since I was still finding myself in life’s current mess.  This could be a root cause for me not getting along with gay men.  Ava Harrington paints a very bad picture of mothers, actors, actresses, models, and singers. I thank God I never went that or pursued that route of life for acting, modeling, and singing.  Ava’s motherhood issues do shed light that mothers can be more terrible than deadbeat dads.  Corporate America does its dirt, but I understand the rewards and consequences of doing business.   The hunt for stardom, revenge, or celebrity status is more dangerous than me and my mental health issues.  Everyone wonders why I bolt so fast OR patiently wait for all consequences for your actions, and send back paperwork to discuss the issues and tell everywhere so everyone will know what you did along with my response.

E. Lynn Harris’s A Love of My Own was also good, down-to-earth, and more realistic.  Sebastian, Zola Denise Norwood, William Jabbar Lewis, Hayden, and Drew Taylor were my favorite characters.  I guess I see the reason Corporate America did not like me because I do/did not cross the rules or boundaries, just do the work and learn, and stuck to my data/information and decisions.  I thank Corporate America second to Sports and Fitness for teaching me Termination (Let Go), Disconnect (Let Go), and Resilience (Bounce Back).  Raymond Jr and Basil was bound to happen.  Raymond Jr. and Drew reminded me to realize men can feel emotional just like women.  However, I will stick to my realism and not fairy tales.

E. Lynn Harris’s I Say a Little Prayer was hilarious from start to finish.  I laughed two days straight.  A gun toting or weapon toting Skyler, and Pastor Kenneth and First Lady Sister Vivian were my favorite characters.  I am impartial to Chauncey and Bassell because there are the 1% of people who do have self-control and can turn gay on and off, not every LGBTIQA+ or heterosexual cheats.  For example, I never cheated in any of my relationships; what happens is the moment someone says let’s go monogamous, I do all my dirt up to the verbal commitment, always plays safe and get tested, then invest all my love, trust, sexual experience, 100% full attention, and energy all into that one person, then when the person leaves or we breakup, I go right back to serial dating.  Quote from the book: “Save a Sin to not Lie to a Minister” was funny.  The gay-for-play or gay-for-pay was new terminology for me and reminded me of Harvard University COOP Bookstore having a book, "How to be Gay."  The acronyms were cute.  The names and reflection on the black culture for those and me that can relate is too funny.  I really miss and going to miss, Atlanta, Georgia, my first loving outweighs the hate city and good memories outweigh the bad memories there for me.  It is awesome to visit the Atlanta metro area.

E. Lynn Harris’s Not a Day Goes By was spectacularly angry and wonderfully written.  John Bassell Henderson and his daddy were my favorite characters.  Despite everything going on, Bassell stuck to his core and never picked a team. I dislike Raymond Jr, Zuric, and Nico for attempting to make Bassell pick a team.  The novel made me reflect on my heterosexual relationships heading in with all love and trust in women, then Yancey and Ava were revealed in the moment of change or distance or space (the difference with my females they kept the kids).  With all the Derricks (male or female) of the world, I am still wondering with my Washington, DC or Chicago residences with family or my own place, who the f*ck kept showing up at my lobby or houses, introducing the themselves, and leaving no contact information?  My families and receptionist told me constantly.

James Baldwin’s Go Tell It On the Mountain was seriously good to find out what happened before my birth.  Richard and Debra were my favorite characters.  Richard was strong and had my attitude, “Do me motherf*ckers!” and take them down right with him, but I am sorry he committed suicide after being set free without knowing he was a daddy and his soul was broken after being jailed for no reason. Debra was strong to show how stand by a cheating husband and pastor, and keep his sins with him even while he pastors a church or being a missionary.  New York been doing its shady sh*t then in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s until now and the future.  Latinos and everyone else want this country, and history repeats itself repeatedly just with new folks.  Everyone, including Jesus, was and is a sinner.  Adultery, Violators of the Ten Commandments, and everything was dumped at my doorstep and I never complained or created drama in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s until 2007.  Thanks to my higher being or God for keeping me safe back then and now.

E. Lynn Harris’s Basketball Jones was okay.  No favorite characters in this one.  However out of guilt and not knowing, for and to all my 1980s, 1990s, 2000s male and female friends, my sincere apologies “I AM SORRY” if I lied out of not knowing what I was saying via any communication method in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, or did not tend to your needs as I should have, or did not give you the opportunity to be with me.  More power to new beginnings as the story showed.

E. Lynn Harris’s Just Too Good to Be True was slightly depressing.  Sports Athletes, I am amazed at the sports industry and I thought direct sales in Corporate America was hard.  Women, the church and family culture, and disowning your own kids really surprised me and bad jokes are harmful. I did not know.  Delmarr and Sylvester are my favorite characters in this one.

E. Lynn Harris's Abide With Me was more realistic. The World is Evil and I am glad I got mine out early. I may still be suffering, but better position. I was Raymond Tyler Jr mixed with Nicole until 2007. Thanks for my ten (10) Delaney friends. Bassell is too funny and reminds of every sport athlete or military person I ran across. Jared is my dude and still reminds me of my past, current, and future dream type of life always keep trying. Delaney is my stand-up girl. "Family and Friends at a distance."

Just As I Am by E. Lynn Harris is one of the most powerful and relevant novels read or heard so far. Some much Black love poured into it. 15 Hours of Listening...I couldn't stop listening. Self-Reflection, Retrospection of Culture, and Healing Therapy for me. No change in my rules.

E. Lynn Harris’s Invisible Life was relevant and spot on the cards life dealt. Thank you for letting me know my life was unique and okay to be me, a Black man. Black authors can write……….Words from a Stranger provides Healing.

Journal Entry #74 - 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

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

Country of Birth: United States of America

Date: April 2, 2023

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.

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.

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:

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.

Boston Medical Center In-Person and Telehealth (through the Bridge Clinic - Psychiatry Department)

(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.

Journal Entry #19 - Old Life with some New Life Modifications

JOURNAL ENTRY #19

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
Country of Birth:  United States of America
Date: December 31, 2016

TOPIC: Old Life with some New Life Modifications

State of Illinois, County of Cook, City of Chicago and City of Harvey, we are done....so done....so done.  You can mail me anything that belongs to me to Washington, District of Columbia.

Washington, DC, I never appreciated my primary home so much...any outside opportunities I will definitely think five (5) times before moving again. You (DC) welcomed me back with all my shenanigans.  A whole of lot of innocent bystanders, but we all know there is a purpose behind every movement through DC, MD, and VA.  The nightlife is back reconnecting to Washington City Paper and Washington Post, and making all advertisements come alive - starting with the Nellie's Sport Bar, 9:30 Club, Karma Nightclub, and Ziegfeld’s/Secrets.  I also saw they built around Aqua and Love Nightclubs.  Archibald's and Fast Eddie's in the same place. Ultrabar and Cobalt pulling same crowds. I spoke to some of the white 9:30 club patrons to find out what bands to see at Black Cat or similar nightclubs. I LOVE ALL MY FRIENDS THAT MADE TIME TO SEE ME OVER THE HOLIDAYS starting with Thanksgiving until present, it felt so good to be loved.  I have been commissioned for Notary Public number 2 for Washington, DC. No, I did not return back to the Nelson or Jones household because 2017 begins MY independent life adventure #2 without doing anymore connected family. Life adventure #2 is only friends, acquaintances, associates, and creating the pseudo-family just like my start mixed with biological connections.  I can drive again, Thank the Lord, and got most of important documents back.  I am only driving two wheels at the moment, but it works. WMATA/Metro, I like the new trains and bus upgrades and keep doing SafeTrack with no pauses. I rode an ART (Arlington Transit) bus for the first time.

Yes, I have worked South Carolina, Georgia, District of Columbia, New York, and Connecticut Senators and Representatives to get me any type of Presidential Inauguration tickets to any event this year.  Thanks to the Senators and Representatives for the responses and working in the background.

Let's see if I can lose 50 pounds to defy biological and natural law of body shape, but 30 pounds is realistic and I am overdue for a photoshoot.  US Department of Defense, if the first hit was 2007, why in the H*LL you decide to waste time to do twice times two (government contractors) hits (workplace violence) again in 2016?  You see I kept the power of telling every time a contract opportunity comes up regarding security clearance until 2023 for incident management.  Thanks for the help or start, I did get my CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ renewed for three (3) years. Dissertation Version 3 submitted to my committee after dissertation editor made their comments.

Thanks for the great meals, Central Union Mission, Martha's Table (known affiliation with FBC), Walmart, Safeway, Giant, Whole Foods, and Harris Teeter.  It was a pleasure to meet the new FBC pastor and her entire Pennington-Russell clan at the church and their new home.

Since I am temporarily cashflow broke, but do have credit. Other banks mentioned earlier, I am coming back to get my secured or unsecured credit card.  Right now, I need to create unnecessary bills.

Happy New Year! Goodbye 2016 and all previous years except 1976! Welcome 2017 a brand new CRAZY ME, all my names are being used, and change everything, throw in everything, mix it up!  My structure is still intact with confidence.

Journal Entry #13 - US Dept of Agriculture - Go Vegetarian or Pescetarianism, and Eat everything.

JOURNAL ENTRY #13

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
Country of Birth:  United States of America
Date: July 3, 2016

Department:  United States Department of Agriculture
Topic: Go Vegetarian or Pescetarianism, and Eat everything.

Proud member of Food Stamps/EBT/SNAP/Medicaid since 2002 no matter where the help comes from.  For the two states that DC warn me about, get it together because I already told the both of you what was going on through the electronic application, over the phone, and in person on who was doing what.

Message:  People using government benefits do not tell on other people using government benefits too, especially when the person is a taxpayer. You will never know how it will come back to you, especially with me.

Natural Resources Conservation Service
I appreciate this agency for teaching me paperwork and the value of preserving our natural resources or using them appropriately. Key message: Recycle and use human energy.

Food and Drug Administration
I appreciate the informative labels placed on food and medications.  However, my mother had this normal routine of purchasing for the month.  During the month, eat everything, but discard or give away the unused food items and clean the entire refrigerator and/or freezer.  With the USDA Food Pantry, I notice the food maybe expired or sell by date is a week or days old and I cook thoroughly immediately.  However, the Midwest and the unnamed family stocked up on food, and the food were fully expired all the way back to 2012 including frozen foods.  Unless I am thinking wrong or inappropriate, nutrients and food does something else if not eaten by date provided.  Any comments, general public??? Same goes with medication and vitamins.  However, the unnamed family seem to be surviving by that and psychologically for me, they have mixed it together to make me seem like the food is okay, but seriously I have not been able to stomach a spoonful of their food after knowing the ingredients.

Other agencies
I am economist so I am looking for trading options eventually.
