Journal Entry #83 - Life Progresses Upward

JOURNAL ENTRY #83

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

TOPIC:  Life Progresses Upward

After experiencing the bottom of the barrel with life for five (5) years in the Northeast, I came back to familiar territory with new and old people into my social networks.  When I return back to Washington, District of Columbia, the communities or locations where I felt comfortable were taken away.  I had to find a new location which the UPO sent me directly to Community for Creative Non-Violence with a co-ed security firm.  The craziest situation for this homeless shelter because it creates a violent environment to scare people and I do not have time to sue/civil suit every single officer performing illegal tasks or pushing the law to the limits.  The security officers were literally acting out all the actions I was fighting against in Massachusetts.  Thank goodness I was able to find my apartment soon enough because it was a clear crash course to go buckwild and hurt the unauthorized hitting and send it back directly to them.  I never saw the limits of special police officer pushed so far until this experience.

I had to find my medical care and begin the process of reestablishing my care with Washington, DC.  One very different change in life I did was to look for help within the African-American/Black community.  I rejoined Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. financially and reconnect via Mu Lambda Chapter.  It was good to meet the brothers.  It was good to see the variety flavors of black men and the openness of joking, taking care of business, and topics that were taboo when I first joined.  With Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda, this organization surprised me to ask to apply and volunteer State Director.  I volunteered for the first time to score scholarship applications on the collegiate level.  I really enjoyed reading the parts of the scholarship application.  The contribution felt good for my first national convention conference.  I also applied for a chair position in the United States Association of Track and Field (USATF), which was a first to get involved in the internal workings of the organization.

I met with Washington, DC Office of Disability Services to establish vocational rehabilitation services.  Thank goodness for good recordkeeping was helpful for the process.

I joined the Vegan Meetup group.  I attended the group movie called Mission: Impossible with questions and answers with the CEO of Impossible Foods.  I love the Impossible Whopper at Burger King.  I tried some of the sample plant based products, such as the sliders, skewers, and sugar cookie.  I attended another event in Virginia which was a potluck.  It was good and all my sweet and plain baked potatoes are gone. 

My medical and health care transitioned back to Unity Healthcare and George Washington University Primary Care System.  It was interesting how GWU was connected to or gained access to the same medical and health system used by Boston Medical Center.  It is good thing to alleviate some of the stress of continuously retrieving my medical records from place to place.  I still keep it for my records.

------------------------------------------

I am still in litigation with Pine Street Inn, Longwood Security, and Jet Security plus eleven (11) individuals.  It took a minute to organize the Sheriff service, but I understand why they are involved.

I went to Boston for the Collins vs Kyambade, General Motors, Progressive, Simon and Simon, Morgan and Morgan rule hearing.  It was good defend my point of view in person.  I met an airline flight buddy on the way back to Washington, DC.s  Most of the Defendants were granted their motion to dismiss.  This is a very crazy country for not being able to sue the manufacturer, insurance company, or any parties involved with vehicles hitting pedestrians. 

---------------------------------------

I ran in Washington DC's 5K Running Event on New Year's Day in Anacostia Park.  I had a job interview with VivSoft.  I ran in my first DMV track meet at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex.  I finally got the title of a future book to write including the chapter outline.  I purposely missed the doctor appointments in Boston at Boston Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital.  I learned that my primary care physician from Massachusetts General Hospital was leaving the primary care group.  I established care with GW Primary Care (Blue Cross Blue Shield and Medicare) and Unity Healthcare (Medicaid).  Washington, DC PARIS group or Medicaid investigation had the balls to come after me talking about fraud in South Carolina, District of Columbia, and Massachusetts.

-----------------------------------------

I taught a strength and bootcamp class, and completed my transfer from Boston Sports Club gym to Washington Sports Club gym, but now all the gyms are labeled New York Sports Clubs gym. I started looking for rooms in Facebook marketplace and Craigslist.  Facebook marketplace had the most interactive response for rooms.  I went to 1731 Kenyon St NW first.  I ran in the USATF Potomac Valley Association Masters Indoor Championship meet at PG Sports and Learning Complex.  It was a decent meet.  I did not achieve my best because for the past three months my biological or physical body hormone ghrelin decided to help put back on 30 pounds I loss.  It is hard running with all the fat or weight gain.  My Unity Healthcare doctor claimed obesity and now I am researching an alternative way to lose the weight without resulting to Wegovy, semiglutide, GLP-1, Zepbound, Ozempic.  The heavy duty physical activity is now limited to just two or four hours a day instead of twelve hours.  The next open house I visited was 1714 Montello Ave NE.  1714 Montello Ave NE discovered something on my background check regarding the New York tax lien that happened a decade ago.  I requested a copy of my report and kindly called the State of New York for a certificate of disposition regarding the paid tax lien.  I tried to tour an apartment at Carver Terrace, but the listing was not true or they did not have any apartments available.  I attended open house at Rockburne Estates along with Patriot Realty Management Company. 2627 Jasper St SE was the first application I put in for low income housing and it was the first to delve deeply into my personal life and finances.  It was in comparison since I have never rented in so long.  I only remembered for market rate apartments or rooms I only had to submit to a background check, credit check, and paystubs.  I had to let and argue with 2627 Jasper St SE Patriot Management Company what happened with Boston Housing Authority and New York City Housing Authority recent events involving people personal information including banking statements, etc.  DC Housing Authority close or suspended its waitlist.  Flats on the Hill was a former SplitSpot property so I did not pursue that one.  Capitol Park Plaza and Twins guided me into the apartment with ease on filing through the Low Income Tax Credit Program, but now the landlord has the building up for sale at $85 million dollars.

-----------------------------------------------

I am still attending Microsoft Advertising Conference calls and applying to all my advertising accounts including Google.  I attended the DC Meetup of the Chinese Lunar Parade.  I had a job interview with OneLife Fitness, which also had a Crunch Fitness location.  Crunch Fitness in Boston was ready to interview me, but I already had moved to Washington, DC.  I attended Mu Lambda Super Bowl Watch Party and it was very fun and enjoyable.  I taught a cardio dance/Zumba class.  I was able to suspend my Zumba membership for three months and was elated how easy it was, but they still charged $10 for freezing the account.  I found my new psychiatrist.  I am attending SCSUNAA Quarterly Meetings. Unfortunately, I do not have a travel budget to attend the SCSUNAA National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina NOR Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity General Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. SCSUNAA did recognize me as a Life Member and plan to honor Life Members at a luncheon at the convention.  Capital Park Plaza and Twins started formulating a Tenant or resident meeting to address concerns of the tenants and discuss the transition to a new landlord. I taught a total body conditioning class at the gym.  I still workout all the major and minor parts of the body, but my routine is not as structured as when I was using Bodybuilding's BodySpace app.  I went to a Meetup Mardi Gras at the Wharf.  The meetup group started at the ZOOZ, watch the parade, and then end up at various stages of music concerts.  I completed another Shuffle Dating moment.  I went to the Board of Elections to update my voter registration and to my surprise, they printed the card right on the spot...wow...impressive.  I anticipated the wait for my Boston Municipal Court Criminal Court Hearing.  I asked the attorney the day before on what could have happened.  The decision to dismiss happened, then I waited a week before I sent in the paperwork to seal the file.  My attorney said he could do it for a fee.  I still have in the backpocket if my CORi or Public Record did not clear.  I request my certificate of disposition from the BMC Criminal Court.  I fixed the Checkr background service.  Unfortunately, for UberEATS, they told me surrounding my NYC arrest that Uber cannot be fixed.  DoorDash gave up.   However, Uber and DoorDash surprisingly had Facebook groups exchanging people information, such as driver's license and getting around the background checks, come out at a Congressional hearing and traditional media.

------------------------------------------------------

I had my very first housewarming party in a totally empty apartment.  Thanks goodness an event planner friend came through to suggest a last minute event setup person.  It was just in time. An Alpha brother, a couple of high school classmates, a graduate college classmate, and a good friend appeared, ate food, enjoyed drinks, and had good talks with each other.  I was happy to see them as them with me.  It was suggested to get plants and coverings to cover my business due to the logistics of the bathroom.  I attended University of Phoenix webinars.  I updated my profile in DC Networks.  I updated my profile in Facebook Dating.  I updated my profile in eHarmony.  All other apps got updated with my most recent HIV, STDs, STIs, and DDF status. I attended my Vegan Meetups events and potluck.  I took pictures in front of Lady Liberty taking a break or lying on her side.  I renewed my small business registration status with DC Government.  I attended my first Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc Board of Directors meeting and it seems plenty of stuff going on at the top of the organization and the new general president.

I attended my first Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity History Lesson.  I attended my first Omega or funeral homegoing services conducted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. DC DMV Meetup canceled the much anticipated Easter Egg hunt.  I attended Friendship Baptist Church for Easter Sunday service. Grubhub got it right and surprisingly their stuff and paraphernalia survived all my physical losses.  I only work for Grubhub once a week.  I send updates to DC ODS and DC DOES as I apply for positions to meet under making $1200 per week.  I filed my taxes and got a hefty refund I have not seen in decades.  Thanks to Federal Express for that one.  In reality and at this point of time, it is now just puzzles me that I have no reason to spend the money.  After all the wars of losses, companies begging for money, replacing the losses, and charitable causes needing money, my basic needs are met differently through government help and severe budgeting led me to never live beyond my means.  I now can say and mean, "No!" to grown adults and offers without any unfortunate harm happening to me or feeling guilty.  I taught yoga class all during the month of May.  I went to the Wharf SW DC Bike-To-Work day station and conversate with some people there.

-------------------------------------------------------------

On the transportation front, DC DMV took away my motorcycle credential when I finally showed up with my Massachusetts license plus correct paperwork. I have to attend Prince Georges Community College for another motorcycle course.  To waste some time, I did try to seek out a similar vehicle deal like I had my Ford Expedition, but no one was budging on the price of high mileage cars.  It was very difficult to find a 5-7 year old vehicle under 100K miles for $5K without an accident.  I bought my first Trek electric bicycle for $3600 including taxes and fees plus security.  My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is doing everything it can to protect the investment from registries to over the top physical security to render the electric bike useless.  As I mentioned from a previous blog and South Carolina Berkeley County police advice, I got a Ring video doorbell to help prevent the crazy shenanigans at my previous addresses.  Gun ownership or competitive sport is on my mind, but I am getting too much mental negative feedback on all the crazy possibilities of shoulda, coulda, woulda, and can happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Eric Jerome Dickey's Business of Lovers

It was a fantastic read and so many levels of romance and sexual fantasies. Brick is so selfless as an older brother.  Andre being Andre and flying high in the entertainment business.  Dewayne overcoming his obstacles.  Mocha Latte handled Brick so well.  I want to experience the three level orgasm with myself and my partner(s). I want to know how Dewayne, Sr named two children Dewayne Junior.  It is interesting the business of sexual escorts.  I love the role reversal of Coretta, a woman, living the secret and double life.  I love the cross or intersections with other books and characters, such as Ken Swift and Jack Ellis, or Erica from the Blackbirds.

Eric Jerome Dickey's Finding Gideon

Finding Gideon was very revealing about father and son relationships and the love triangle of not knowing where you were from originally.  Domestic violence is no joke.  Being an assassin can be an attractive trait for anyone.  It is interesting to how some people have to go great lengths to discover themselves.

Zane's Addicted

It was plenty of reflection on how kids grew up.  Zane gave a good reflection on traditional marriages on marrying young, having kids so young, and how sexually marital problems start.   When you cannot change your friends' situation, I have learn let them find out for themselves.  Every single person and married people have their own problems.  Yes, I am a sexual addict nymphomaniac, but it is controlled.  No background checks on sexual partners is a costly decision.  Therapy is never to be ashamed of.

Zane's Nervous

Multiple personalities can be real.  It does relate to my blackouts.  However, my blackouts came out to reality and now reality seems to cannot handle reality.  Thank goodness I survived my blackouts.  Thanks to my security cameras showing me what I do during my sleep.  Yes, my blackouts were 5th grade, 2007-2009, and 2015-2016. I was sleepwalking during my childhood years.  At the end of the story, it does give hope for someone as unique as me to find my second wife.  To really bring an Atlanta memory was the mention of Justin's Restaurant.  I do agree too many people think they do not need counseling for any type of mental health.

Apple TV+ Loot

I tried to find a streaming show that I like, but it was hard.  I started with Severance, but that did not last 30 minutes.  I did find Loot with SNL alum Maya Rudolph and it was really good for two seasons.

I spent time with my dad, Tommy, and we watched Riches with an African UK cast.  It was good.

This was unexpected.  It was good to know my cousin and family, Cindy.   Last time I remember seeing her at the usual spot, Yvette and Dell's house, when I came down to South Carolina.  She was a beautiful human being.   She was kind and loving.  Thank God we lived in the same community Eadytown section of Pineville, South Carolina.  The Manley Marvell Collins family share their condolences and will grieve appropriately.  You are welcome to reach out for any emotional and moral support as we need each other to celebrate this angelic soul sent to her next phase of life.  Love you, Cindy, and the Collins and McCray clan.

I watched my usuals, such as Abbott Elementary, Amazing Race, Grey's Anatomy, and Bold and the Beautiful.  A new daytime soap with some memorable and known cast members, Beyond the Gates, caught my attention and starts very strong.

Journal Entry #75 - Happy Independence Day...Just Simply Talking

 JOURNAL ENTRY #75

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 4, 2023

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.

If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin is hot 🔥 🥵

Make me wanna have twenty (20) babies

TOPIC: Morningside Middle School Debacle

DEPARTMENT: United States Department of Labor
DEPARTMENT: United States Department of Education

In February 2020, Kelly Education Services, the current contractor for Charleston County School District and Berkeley County School District, hired me on as a substitute teacher.  The experience was very different since I could teach or monitor various grades and various subjects. Alexandra Barney gave the training presentation.  Melanie Douglas came in to announcement herself as handling some of the background paperwork.  Janelle Clark was the person to give me Frontline Access/AESOP substitute teaching assignment system.  Dana Mentel was the Charleston County School District Account Manager.  Dana and I, started out fine until things started happening at the schools.  Sarah Petty was the Berkeley County School District Account Manager.  Sarah and I got along well as she I was dressed professionally with khakis, sweater, and collared shirt.  Everyone else at the schools were dressed in shorts, jeans, and very comfortable attire.  Every school provided a different experience.  I personally selected schools that were on my everyday route or just had interest in.

My first school was Amy Moye, Whitesville Elementary, First Grade (Berkeley County School District).  It was a rambucious group of kids with high energy.  Of course, my adult learning skills was no match for these kids.  They listened, then they played, then got out of hand.  Everyone wanted to help.  They knew Ms. Moye's routine.  They were operating smartboard and everything.  Most of them completed the assignments.  However, after the student's lunch, some of the neighboring teachers came to help calm the class down.  I felt a little guilty when the educator had the class apologize three times for not listening.  I did run into one of my high school classmates, Shawn Ravenell. He looked great....slightly stocker and thicker than the slender high school figure, but tall and handsome as usual.  Thanks, Shawn Ravenell, for your military service. Thanks, Amy Moye, for your educator service. Thanks to all the teachers that day giving me tips on disciplining and positive reinforcement techniques. It was a good first day as a substitute teacher.  Berkeley County School District timekeeping was done through iPad and technology.

My assignment with Cross High School, my alma mater was very unique (Berkeley County School District).  It showed me how so much have changed over the years.  The classes changed from 45 minute periods to one hour and a half.  Hardly anyone that graduated from the school was teaching at the school.  I was substitute teaching for Christin E. Clark for 7th/8th grade Science.  Christin E. Clark was also a schoolbus driver. The kids were well-behaved in a sense that I did not have to bring another educator in to help calm the class down.  Unexpectedly, I was teaching three of my classmates' children, Keon Pinckney's child, Terrance Nelson's child, and Leroy Ravenell's child.  Other names came about, such as Octavia Cohen's cousin.  We had good time discussing families and they completed their assignments.  I did meet and spoke to Clarissa Shepherd.  Pat Wilson made me feel right at home by having a conversation like I was never missed.  I did meet the principal Alicia.  She was nice.  I did give a courtesy call over the school network to the athletic director, Shaun Wright, and see how he was doing.  Thanks to all the educators, staff, and administrators for their services.  Sarah Petty did call to substitute at the last minute for Christin Clark, but I could not retrieve the voice message until I got into a T-Mobile cellphone tower area (most likely Moncks Corner, SC or St. Stephen, SC).  I took a photo for social media.  For the day, we had a fire drill and active shooter drill.  Assignments were done on Google Chromebooks.  I ran into Terrance Nelson's mom on the way leaving the high school.

My assignment with Northwoods Middle School was very entertaining and diverse (Charleston County School District). I was substitute teaching for Carole L Bennage-Hernandez, 6th/7th/8th grade science.  The classes were half latino/hispanic and half African-American with some Caucasian/European students.  My high school Spanish did not help at all.  I felt very useful helping the students through their assignments and ensuring they understood what they read.  It was an instant gratification to make a difference in a student's life.  Carole and I took a photo for social media.  Carole was still in place and help with the transition to teach her class for a half-day.  Mrs. Bennage-Hernandez had a personal errand to run.  Learning science again at the middle school level taught me how specialized I became in life.  Charleston County School District timekeeping was done manually and done through AESOP Frontline timesheets.  They still had a mix of textbooks and Google Chromebooks to get the assignments done.  Thanks, Mrs. Carole L. Bennage-Hernandez, for your educator service.

My assignment with Timberland High School (Berkeley County School District) was unique.  It was my very first visit since the school was built.  Timberland did keep some history in the having the last yearbooks from the schools that merged St. Stephen High School and Macedonia High School.  I went through St. Stephen High School yearbook and it was so many names and faces I totally forgot about....said, 'Wow'.  I was substituting for Carrie R. Grudzien, Cross Categorical subjects.  The students were mixed 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders and special education.  However, I learn the students had Read 180 or System 180 assignments, Math assignments, and Google chrome assignments specialized to each student. The core periods were long.  Mrs. Carrie class did have two helpers, a long term substitute assignment, Mrs. Middleton, and an athletic coach.  The athletic coach was taught by the long term substitute at Timberland.  Timberland was a large school, but had a different feel of tameness on the day I went.  We had a fire drill in the rain.  Classes were combined for assignments in Home Economics. Every teacher had to escort their classes to the buses loading zone.  The fire drill presented a perfect time to take a picture with the educators, but the rain was distraction while keeping track of the kids.

My assignment with St. Stephen Elementary (Berkeley County School District) was a big reunion.  Some staff, educators, and administrators from Cross Elementary and High Schools were at St. Stephen Elementary School.  I was substituting for Lisa N. Cooper, Second Grade Teacher.  It was an interesting bunch of children.  Some students were helpers.  Some students were very intelligent and smart. Some students tried every excuse to get out of doing any work.  Lisa N. Cooper did have a conference call with the AmeriCorps Reading Partners inside the classroom.  We did have a fire drill.  The cafeteria served grits in the morning to the teachers.  It was good seeing everyone and speaking with them including some strangers.  I gave my information to one of the Reading Partners volunteers to let them know I had interest in the program for the next academic year.  I did take a social media photo.  Thanks, Lisa N. Cooper, for your educator service.

My assignment with Berkeley Middle School (Berkeley County School District) was okay.  The classes were large and full.  I was subtituting for Maxwell J. Burke, 7th Grade Social Studies.  The students discussed that he had a reputation for always being present in the school.  He had two desk in which I kept going back and forth through the students to ensure they were doing their assignments.  I did give a courtesy call/voice message to Dana Copeland, with the assumption she was connected to Patreece Copeland or Cross High alumni.  I saw one person I knew from Cross High School days.  It was a very professional environment with everything from the substitute teacher binder, what, who, when, where, and how situation.  I was impressed.  Thanks, Maxwell J. Burke, for your educator service.

My assignment with Military Magnet Academy (Charleston County School District) was a great experience.  It was a very disciplined school with uniforms and structure.  I was substituting for Simona Spinner, Math teacher.  I saw University of Phoenix under her door name plate.  I was not sure if she graduated from there or promoted the school.  However, her desk was an entire Sam's Club, Walmart, Bi-Lo, FoodLion, Office Depot/Max, and Staples combined into one.  I rewarded the students with the mints she had for them.  Thanks for the mints in my substitute packet and binder.  It was very coincidental that I met her daughter, who escorted me to the classroom.  The front office, Ms. Yeadon, was helpful, but I was not sure if she was related to Cross's Yeadon family.  It was definitely an honor and pleasure seeing a black male doctor as the principal of the school.  It was drill day or the alternate day from the regular core classes day.  I did take a social media selfie photo.  I saw the students and marching band march around the school.  It was impressive.  All the students did their work assignments and acted appropriately.  I did allow them to listen to their smart devices as long as they completed their assignments.  No additional help was needed to keep the students calm.  The classes was small.

My assignment with H.E. Bonner Elementary (Berkeley County School District) was the beginning of the downside of teaching.  The substitute from Timberland warned me that the school was bad/mischievous.  Of course knowing me, I had to test that theory.  I was substitute teaching for Lisa T. Johnson, Fifth Grade Teacher. Kelly Education Services had a policy of 'no touching students' policy regardless of the situation.  The class was very energetic and talkative, but by lunch, the class started getting angry.  We lined up for lunch.  The teacher's favorite helper African-American student was being taunted or started launching blows at a white student who was much smaller.  It was a hard to watch scene.  I tried to insert my body between the two and help restrain the black male student, but the African-American male student went around me and kept pummeling the white male student, who finally fought back.  The class was constantly instigating.  The fighting stopped once I went to the phone to call the teacher that was suppose to help.  I did not catch up to the emergency helper teacher until we got to the cafeteria.  I wrote an incident report for the vice-principal and principal, and Kelly Education Services.  Kelly Education Services Sarah Petty and I had a long discussion about the incident.  Disciplining students have changed and watching an actual fight happen without help is very difficult.  I took an panoroma photo for social media.  Thanks, Lisa T. Johnson, for your educator service.  This was a tough day for me as a substitute.

My assignment with Morningside Middle School (Charleston County School District) was awful. I was substituting for Domonique S. Finley, English/Language Arts teacher.  It was a diverse group and full class of students, even though some of them had field trip.  I did meet Mrs. Finley-Thompson. We had a cordial and candid discussion about the students and overall operation of the class.  However, the black button became an issue in the end of the day.  These kids were horrible.  They were videoing dance routines in the classroom, took naps, sat on window sill, kept walking in/out of the classroom, and it was no control with them.  The students did not listen to the administrator of the wing/grade and did not listen to the substitute.  I tried to hold on for dear life so I can have a peaceful exit from the school, but long and behold I got a book thrown to the face right before the school day ended.  I had to seek medical attention. Kelly Education Services Dana Mentel was informed.  Nikki Woods tried to get worker's compensation for me and got the medical attention needed.  The school kept stressing something about a black button that I did not see or was not shown where it was.  I called 911 and reported the incident to a cop, reported it to Mrs. Thompson, and the administrator.  It seems everyone was upset at the 911 call.  The main office and Charleston County Police deferred the incident to the School Resource Officer and principal.  The principal seemed to routinely state it is a disciplinary incident.  Please see attached report of how it all happen.  Thanks, Domonique S. Finley, for your educator service.  

My final assignment was canceled for Cane Bay High School (Berkeley County School District). It was for an Ashley A. Barnes, Special Services Program Lead.  It was because of the Morningside Middle School (Charleston County School District) incident.

-----------------------------------------

This is the what I sent to the Mayor of Charleston and North Charleston, City Councils of Charleston and North Charleston, Charleston County Sheriff Department, South Carolina Department of Education, Kelly Education Services, Charleston County School District HQ, and United States Department of Education.  My presumption when a child's behavior is beyond repair or acting out, it is a call for help.  Here is my email dated March 10, 2020 at 10:15 AM:

Good morning Sir or Madam, and team,

I am writing as a victim of Morningside Middle School in South Carolina Public Schools – Charleston County School District cry for help. I have attached the appropriate incident and medical report for your review.

 These are the items needed for the educational institution as follows:
1. Tear the institution down and rebuild in its place.  Raise property taxes to better support the school, expand programs, etc.
2. An adequate bell system.
3. An annual directory of all staff, administrators, and professionals at the school in each classroom.
4. An adequate substitute teaching system supporting absent faculty or administrators.
5. An actual, upgraded phone system for all classrooms.
6. Brand new student desks.
7. Uniform policy enforcement for faculty, staff, administrators, and students.
8. A supportive and trusting classroom for faculty (the ability to store and care for professional and personal items and supplies).
9. Better decorative theme for classrooms.
10. A balance between textbooks and chromebooks.
11. A better and appropriate response system for substitutes, interns, volunteers,  and assistants than a black button system.  I felt trapped in the classroom by the rules  and responsibility of students.
12. Penalty and harsher enforcement for non working students because it seems the misbehaving students and mischievous that do not care for any adult or their work.
13. Resource Officer or actual offenders from the prison system to show the students what happens in a school-to-prison pipeline for assaulting adults if there is a no-touch policy for substitutes. One session per week or assembly per month and let them ask questions how serious life is.
14. No cellphone or smartphone zones. Collect them at the beginning of the day and return them at the end of the day.  Each teacher is responsible for their homeroom cellphones.
15. Need the pledge of allegiance recited by students and staff in morning.
16. Need school pledge of becoming a better self recited by students and staff in morning.
17. Need a mission statement recited by students in morning.
18. Need American flags in all classrooms and hallway.
19. Need school flags in all classrooms.
20. College, University,  and military paraphernalia need to be spread throughout entire school.

This is just a start. Since I do not hold the winning lottery ticket for South Carolina Education Lottery, this is my process:
A. Address the issue head on with all levels of education headquarters, associated politicians, and professionals to reach the chief.  This gives everyone a chance to discuss and make some changes.
B. Next is the levels of the court system. December is my second favorite month of every year. My expected award for second degree assault with a harmful weapon is $5,000,000.
C. $5M dollars is the value of the protected minor's life that assaulted me.
D. Arbitration and Mediation is welcome, but I am set in my ways to go fully through the court system to create a six bill for all parties involved.

Pure example of turning around a impoverished school is below.

I am witness to South Carolina Public School Berkeley County School District – Cross Middle/High School. The school went through subtle and major changes when faculty, staff, alumni, and administrators cared about the institution.  Politicians and the county increased property taxes eight times from 1990 to 2020 to support and upgrade the school.  The school has become a silver medal standard of the community, county, and many families.  The school has expanded its academic, athletic, and trade programs. Students' behavior problems are minimal...still chatty...but no throwing things or unexpected weapons.

Adrienne Rubel, HR Consultant, made the ultimate decision to terminate me from Kelly Education Services for social media photos.  I never heard of Adrienne until this email.  This is Adrienne's email dated April 3, 2020 at 8:29 AM and CC'ed Dana Mentel:

Mr. Collins,

Dana Mentel and I have made multiple attempts to contact you via phone. On 4/1, we tried to call you at a time you indicated you would be available, the line went immediately to voicemail. Dana then followed up with an e-mail to determine a new time to have a conversation. As of now, we have not heard back from you.

The purpose of the call was to formally request that you delete all photos of students and schools from your social media platforms, as well as from any personal devices.

Taking photos while acting in the role of a substitute teacher is a violation of the Kelly Standards of Professional conduct. The Standards of Professional conduct, which is covered during orientation, states that substitute teachers will never use recording devices or picture/video cameras, including cellular phone cameras, on academic institution grounds.

In addition, we were calling you to advise you that due to the violation as outlined above, the decision has been made to terminate your employment effective immediately.

Thank you,
Adrienne Rubel | HR Consultant | Human Resources Knowledge Center

My response was absolutely not.  South Carolina Public Education school system ranked between number 45-50 by US News and World Report, the United States Department of Education and other educational system rankings.  The contractor and public school system worried about selfies, and when every student has a smartphone.  Yes, I am product of the South Carolina Public School System, but I was corrected the minute I left in 1998 by the other 49 states and major cities on the reality of education and life.

The Collins Family - Mother and paternal grandmother graduated from Central High (now named Cross High). Mother ventured her way to Washington, DC.  Some of the trips I heard she kept bringing food from South Carolina to DC because the city was expensive.  Mother was a traveler.  Mother played with the men through the phone book, and dated the men until she became pregnant at 3900 4th St SE, Washington, DC.  This became a new experience for her. She had along with two of the five (5) fathers present during the pregnancy and birth. Research Question: Who is the baby daddy?"  One of the five (5) fathers took credit if I was he the father place him on the birth certificate. Another daddy took the pictures with him and went through the rigmarole of child support.  Of course, this is an unfortunate situation.  Mother took me everywhere, took Sears family photos and sent them to most of the families.  Mother sent me South Carolina for summers and birthdays with grandmother; in which, everything was celebrated in the green house.  The green house held five generations of the Collins family and the home was built on Rural Route 1 Box 181, now 285 Big Woods Road, Pineville, South Carolina. The green house was built by US Army soldier Benjamin Collins.  As a child I saw a family member named, Titty, in a mental hospital chewing on her tongue and she was old, I do not remember where, but it was important to family to see her.  At the age of 5, things started changing because my mother met her first serious boyfriend.  Her boyfriend (one of the fathers mentioned and a US Army soldier) took her h*ll because he did not want to work and wanted to take from her as the independent woman.  However, the relationship was tumultuous.  Her corporal punishment beating me with extension cords, switches, and belts.  The relationship produced two sons.  I took punishment for not being his, but he did take the time to show me how to read and write.  This begins the crazy shuffling of the kids. At the time of the adults fighting, the kids were sent to his family, her family, and my known family at the time. It was a time between DC, Maryland, and South Carolina.  Please note the first wedding between him and her was at the green house in South Carolina. In the green house already lived grandmother and her boyfriends, my uncle, and all of us.  My uncle got married and moved into a single wide trailer next door.  My grandmother got married and move into a single wide trailer in Cross near her husband's family. So the green house was solely left to us (mom, 3 kids, and her husband/boyfriends). Mother had a best friend and my godmother, who named me Marvell.  The godmother/her best friend came to the house or the church every time they made a trip down south or Walt Disney World. Mother held different jobs, different Ford/Mercury cars, and took us to a variety of churches.  Growing up in South Carolina, the Collins had an area called Collins hill, which means every Collins was in that area.  Mack family was there, Glover family was there, Wigfall family was there, Halls family was there, Britton family was there, and Gordon family was there.  Most of these families had probably five (5) to nine (9) children, but spewed only two (2) to three (3) offspring.  We all hang together when we went to the store, rode the school bus or school trips together, fought each other, played with each other, went through the nearby fields to pick the corn/sugarcane/peas/string beans, ran against each other when the road was pure dirt, celebrated birthdays together, and same school together.  During puberty or teen years, I was the aggressor to finding out what body parts do (mother seen the evidence, but I never told because I did it) and rebel to do whatever he wanted to do.  The church girls were the aggressors to me, and I was the aggressor after the babysitters.  I came very close popping out those kids at a young age, but sex education took over.  It was fun. My cousins, brothers, and I climbed trees near the green house and one brother broke his leg.  We had fig and plum trees around the house.  The yellow plums were good.  I did not eat fig, but I squeeze the white stuff from them.  Grandmother made homemade wines from the plums.  We had plants everywhere. We had a matching green pump house.  During the good times of the holidays, mother tried to send us to the room to avoid seen the packages travel from car to her room.  We had huge family dog named Lady.  We had cat that kept having kittens named Sheena.  As kids, PETA would protest for animal cruelty for my brothers and me testing the cats or kittens for an animal endurance test to see if they had nine (9) lives or land on the feet for tossing them in the air when they grew big enough.  Please note the green house lasted until my 5th grade year right after my first faint/blackout and seizures.  Mother had her nervous breakdown in the green house too.  Mother did have plenty of other South Carolina friends too many to name.  The green house burned down by fire unexpectedly and mother fainted/blackout at uncle's home.  This was our first major family materialistic loss because it was everything.  Mother was strong enough to purchase a brand new home and single wide with the help of another working boyfriend while divorcing the first husband. Life was good and the single wide moved so made places near the boyfriend's mother, in the place of the green house, and lastly rested across the street. Again, life had no knowledge of communication devices or computers.  The strength of black power still lingered through his growth.  The Prioleau family during family reunion and holidays came down from New Jersey by chartered bus piled all into our house.  My brothers, cousins, and I grew accustomed to the floor.  We had no history of slavery per say because all the families mentioned earlier were distributed land/real estate and maintained by USDA (white male/men with a tractor and we knew the family).  Through my Ancestry DNA, it is believed that we did come in through the port of Charleston, South Carolina.  Sometimes when times were rough, we did the free lunch program at different churches, food stamps when they were paperbacks, and receive the food distribution of the USDA's large block of government cheese, oily white can of peanut butter, and other stuff.  Hurricane Hugo came and took the brand new home with everything again. Another tough moment when Cross High became our shelter.  At the time of Junior/Senior year of school, changes started happening I had problems with authority figures especially stepfather, who kept rubbing it in that I did not know my father/daddy. In 11th grade, my mother told me the story about the dads including a possible rape, and spoke out the name, "Yolanda/Yolonda."  My mother remember who he was, where he was and told me how to reach out to the dad on birth certificate.  The rape allegation I did not ask about that. After I learned later in life about Yolanda/Yolonda was, I sent all names and situations straight to hell.  Please note growing up the trips were reversed, I stayed in South Carolina and sent to DC for holidays and birthdays.  Since I was the oldest, most responsibility of doing chores, taking care of brothers, and sent out on family errands to beg to use the neighbor phones for calls, money in need, beat checks to bank written by mother, or fundraising for school. Thanks to the family that provided us a make shift home during Hugo recovery.  We got a used Hugo damaged double wide that stood up until it became dilapidated.  Brothers and husband became a burden than helping the situation knowing her conditions.  While stuck on black power while in Atlanta and/or at SCSU, I dislike my brothers for dating white women, and yes we fought especially after the white women took mother's vehicle and wrecked it.  Normally, the new husband/stepfather would wreck the vehicle.  I brought mother to SCSU homecoming and my graduation.  I took my brothers and her back to DC to meet the people she interacted with in her or their life.  One of my brothers talked about vascetomy/clipping nuts after having a 2nd child.  I took her, my SCSU bestie, and brothers on trips to Atlanta.  Since she did not see any kids from me at a young age and while riding to and from Atlanta, mother screamed several times saying, "My son not gay."  Mother met my mentor from DC/MD.  She passed a week before I was going to bring her to Atlanta.  She died of an acute heart attack/disease and three (3) days without her meds from SC Mental Health clinic.  There were choices made that I could not control other than the funeral.  While in Atlanta, I did think of the wrongful death suit and made a conference meeting to understand the tragedy of events. I still have to ensure that memorial is there that I recently placed for her.  My dream for the residence location was a nice home from Jim Walter homes or Dream Home Source as a vacation home.  If anyone performs any correction or action to this dream, I will appreciate it, but I corrected the Heirs of Annie Collins to see if they still want the property because my responsibility has been removed.  She was on Social Security Disability at the time and all her kids were on it.  I became a government intern, and worked the government from the outside looking in.  The loyal brands are Ford, Procter and Gamble, Farmers and Merchant Bank, General Electric, Westinghouse, Babcock, Kraft, Princess House Crystal, Wachovia, Sears, Gerber, Georgia-Pacific, JcPenney, Kmart, Walmart, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, New York & Co/Lerners, Delta's Pharmacy, BI-LO, Fingerhut, Piggly Wiggly, IGA, Kroger, Publix.

The Crawford family - My brothers and I rarely got to know this boyfriend.  He was a tall, light skinned dude.  He was non-violent and babysat us while mother was out running errands from the green house.  Later in life, I heard my first cousin were kin to Crawfords, but I am unsure where he went.

The Jones family - The stories from this family was crazy about how mother and first husband knew each other, got along, separated, divorced, and let go.  He was a short, light skinned dude. The stepfather/first husband died of tuberculosis in Howard University Hospital. I visited him several times.  We kept in contact when he was able to call me.  He would ask about his children.  He asked how I was doing.  He did care.  He ran the streets of DC and never left the streets of DC.  I brought my brothers to attend his funeral in DC.  I still keep in contact with most of the siblings (aunts, uncles, and cousins).

The Nelson family - This was one house of crazy and 300 block of Rock Creek Church Road NW.  Growing up, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson had everyone in the house (two sons - one natural, one adopted; me; and other adopted kids up to six (6) at the most).  Mr. Nelson, Sr. was military.  They did tell me all their stories and showed me all the homes they lived in DC.  Mr. and Mrs. Nelson was a make shift home for adopted kids along with the regular family.  She kept the kids I guess for a period of time before they left on their own.  She took us to Potomac Mills and other areas in DC to play together.  The adopted son, a female cousin, and I were all the same age.  This house introduced me to BET, MTV, VH1, HBO, Showtime, and a whole lot of cable television.  There major problems with the adult son, who hardly or never worked, again I only knew him from his activity in the house.  He got married and had the kid(s), and all lived in the house, but I was not there for the divorce.  They had the basement.  The female cousin had her room.  The adopted son and I stayed in the attic. The adopted kids stayed in the other two bedrooms.  The adult son after his divorce did drugs, hustled, etc.  The adopted son adopted the same pattern of hustling, but the female cousin and I always was beating up the adopted son for taking from us or grandparents. This pattern continued all the way into our 30s.  While I was making money or given money by grandparents, the adult son kept offering prostitutes from the neighborhood or drugs, and he eavesdropped on everyone's phone conversation. This adult son unfortunately passed from either an overdose, withdrawal issue, or health problem.  When times were good, he did take adopted brother and me fishing into the Potomac River.  While going with the back and forth with me from SC to DC and child support, this family was ready to keep me by taking mother to court for paternity test.  Unfortunately, mother stopped pursuing the boyfriend/picture taking father for child support. The child support father, the eldest son, bought me my first Schwinn bike and taught me how to ride.  The child support father (or father that really wanted me) took my oldest sister and I to our first Capital Pavilion concert to see MC Hammer, Oaktown 357, and someone else.  The child support father loved his family and provide me the backdrop of the days he and his musical band was practicing the basement.  The entire block knew the child support father and respected his street credentials.  I never caught if ever took from me, but he was slick and I rarely argue with him.  He is a brown skinned, 5'9"/5"10" male.  He did give me a few dollars here and there.  Yes, through most of my major breaks in my resume, this house was refuge and all his family help returned me back to health even if they hated/disliked me. My little brother was a crier and sensitive. Big sister and I supported little brother in attending his graduation from college along with other members of his family.  Yes, with the pegging issue of who is the daddy, unfortunately, we did not make it to Maury Povich, but I paid for everything and did the DNA testing.  I only know the results and still do not know who my daddy/father is.  Yes, the child support father is still in his life.  The loyal brands are Safeway, Giant, Home Shopping Network/QVC, and Toyota.

The Butler family - this was my stepfather's family. He was the baby boy.  Mother was the oldest maternal daughter, and baby paternal daughter.  He was a light skinned, tall - 5'10"/ 5'11" male.  He was a construction worker.  He enjoyed construction or blue collar work.  He accepted my brothers and me as his kids.  We stuck together. We appreciated him for providing for us when none of the other daddies did.  He did have a downfall - gambling on Friday nights.  We all knew if we did not get that check at home.  The family knew where it went.  My mother had the pseude that she was pregnant with her overgrown tummy (which runs in the family of girls).  Mother already had her tubes tied after the baby boy brother. After mother's divorce from DC and potential marriage to him, I was totally against the marriage due to the traumatizing effect of not being anyone's son or another overruling power in the house.  He decided not to autopsy mother when they could not rescitated her.  He did share the life insurance money among all of us.  Later on, I am unsure if he had any kids of his own.  We do keep in contact and he reaches out to me when he can.  He did support me that if I needed co-signer for my first car, he was there.

The Mack family - this is one entertaining family. Eleven brothers and sisters kin to mother.  The granddaddy kept all his family in rotation (road warrior) like it was nothing and visited all his kids that I can recall. On ever trip, he gave us, the grandkids, a nickel, dime, quarter up to a maximum of a dollar.  We all appreciated seeing him.  I made sure we never loss contact. Just like Facebook, I sent holiday cards, business cards, and all kind of stuff through the United States Postal service. The eldest aunt and her daughter kept in close contact.  The eldest aunt came to see me at 3222 in DC.  We had a deep discussion about sexuality and changing my name to a Mack.  She reminded me of South Carolina while she cooked dinner full of Crisco and butter, I almost puked or could hardly get a bite down.  My dietary needs changed to vegetarian or pescartarian, not vegan.  We do keep in contact.  This family is made up of government workers.  The loyal brand is Ford.

The Unnamed family (birth certificate source) - this is the remaining anger toward family that I have.  After mother told her side of what happened and it corroborated with father side of story, I am and still is angry.  Mother stated she told the father to stay away due to the new boyfriend relationship.  Crediting father stated same thing that he obeyed mother's wishes to stay away and there was no agreement between the two except last known contact.  I did make the collect call right from Harry Fish Camp's payphone a month or two before my high school graduation. I did give him credit on moral support to pop up at my high school graduation, and including me in his first wedding achieving my first ankle sprain.  (NOTE: The second ankle sprain happened at EDS/HP basketball court in Herndon, VA.)  I rarely spoke to my father because I really did not know him and he already missed 13 full years of my life.  When I started talking to him, he wanted me hit by a bus and it came close several times by CTA/Pace.  I talked him over the phone, "he mentioned having everything", and then I lost my remaining stuff in Chicago.  One aunt want me to faint so they can do whatever to kill me or abnormal recovery AND she wants to change my medication to Abilify.  The aunt that when I lost my stuff, all she had to say to me, "Could you please move?" and I would have went to other aunt's house.  In 1996-1997 SCSU XMAS break, I did come to Illinois, stayed with grandmother and aunt.  The grandmother on first meet ask me specifically, "When I was going to give her some great-grandchildren?"  The grandmother and aunt thought I was moving in with all the luggage from the airport, but they understood I was in school.  I did meet one or two family members from Tennessee.  On the opportunity on running for SGA President, I did not know what I was doing and was fundraising through all his family and the father came down harsh to say, "Do not ask his family or people I do not know for money!"  Please note the school refunds and work-study helped pay for his campaign. This family grew up on Popeye’s chicken by the largest box and chitterlings.  I could not stand the smell of the chitterlings and I did try at least one. On 1996-1997 SCSU XMAS break, he did not know the Harvey/Riverdale neighborhoods and Illinois first opportunity to know him, but I stayed close to USDA scholars and SCSU Men’s Track team members that were from the same area.  In 2005-2006, it was Illinois second time to get to know him, downtown Chicago, north and west suburbs got to know him.  We, my father and I, spoke on occasion regarding my Atlanta house and my DC house, but I missed or lost the conversation for the DC house until May 2016.  This family knew specifically of my mother's medical condition, my medical condition, and father's medical condition since 2007, but never help to prevent him from losing his stuff.  I saw all the business of the Southside (suburbs), I will never tell on this neighborhood cause they do stuff a different way, and it is funny everytime I hear "squares" I think geometry.  Another thing I learned that the family quit church or does not do church.  Most of the family are fat, overweight, and obese like a elephant and whale together.  Two cousins was okay and decent size when we were younger, but they got huge with time. I am still wowed.  Most of the male cousins are medium to slender.  Another thing one family member talked about taking out all her ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc.  The family for whatever reason mention stuff that involves the neighborhood, but does not talk to their own neighborhood as adults.  I hear and see the psychology through the homeless and certain people to keep reminding him of DC. I did realize where the talking to myself came from.  This family is made up of government workers, teachers, and nurses, but to this day, I do not know what the father did before his 20 years of real estate homebuilding/salesperson.  I already asked the questions from this family since I been coming/pursuing them (when I had money or did not have money), "do you need me?"  I am currently with this family to understand portion of his life, education, tangible experiences, and resume.  He did attend the passing of my mother's funeral.  I attended the passing of his mother's/my grandmother funeral and met more Tennessee and other family members.  This family clearly confirmed they did not know me, my mother, or anyone else.  I did take brothers to see cousin and sister when they were in North Carolina. Psychology education or tasks came out the biggest on this side of the family. We are still working through the remaining issues and communication.  Like I said before I hold the power of the courts and government paperwork to remove credit if necessary to release me from family - Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas plus surrounding Midwestern states.  All Illinois information systems are getting my emergency contact information.  The loyal brands are GM/Chevy, Walmart, Portillo's, Chiptole and Chase.

Sex Report

Like Salt and Pepa with Spindarella, "Let's Talk About Sex." Color Me Badd "I Wanna Sex You Up." R. Kelly "Bump and Grind" or "Sex Me Part 1 and Part 2"

The ranking of the squads or people environment.
1. Department of Defense - you can not beat looking at these men and women everyday in uniform.  Out of uniform is just as nice. If it is their one task to make love or sex, it will create a pound of cum from them and I combined.

2. New York Police Department - seeing all the graduates from the police academy, I think about 1,000 per month combing through Harlem and accidentally bumping into them at every Starbucks. These Italians, Germans, European, and Puerto Rican men and women are wonderful to look at and snap pictures with.  Other minorities I see you too, but these are the most standouts on or off television.  Anyone talking with the New York twang accent makes me hard often.  Love hearing and talking to the Europeans, especially the Brits, in the community.

3. San Francisco Police Department - I only caught a glimpse of the Asian and European male officers, but what I saw was not bad given the entire community of Boystown was hot.  Seeing the short Asian women do fashion and stilettos makes me want to lose my religion.

4. Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department, US Capitol Police, and all security officers - yes, I love talk to you all everyday just to talk and look at you.  Ogling all your goodies back and front.

5. Connecticut Police Department - I was surprise to see an actual black officer on the squad he was not bad looking.  However, it was fun watching all the officers work and talk.  New England boys and girls are hot to watch do fashion and stilettos.  Manchester, CT or Hartford, CT were too smart and would not take the risk with me, but I will ride with all them on the MNRR and CT Transit.  New England married men and women are the hottest to go after with all their German car driving. New England/New Jersey Asian Indians are hot when they nicely built and they do not even play any American ball.

6. Hotlanta (Atlanta, Georgia) - yes, all the imports, exports, and natives hottest blacks and latinos anyday - all sizes especially all the b.ball/f.ball players or track runners.

7. Wisconsin - I have never seen such gorgeous cornfed and cow herding European males.  Females not so much - it just seems life hit these women hard.

8. South Carolina - yes, for people my size. It is fun to play with people you know and hear the country accent or country.  I am the aggressor, my apologies if I confused anyone.

9. Brazil - yes, yes, yes...hot!!! Enough said!!!  Oi!

10. London - hot, I am still working on slimming down some more to fit into the entrance of your lofts, flats, bungalows, etc....LOL!

11. Italy and Toronto (tied) - Men and women dressed to a tee (or women in shorts and heels just to get coffee and expressos).  The homeless was even dressed in fashion.  Awesome experience. Ciao Bella in Italian. Bonjour for Toronto.

#2,738,298 (ranking last out of all states and countries). Illinois - southside thugs/thugettes (girls and boys) slender is always good to look at with a billion tattoos. Latinos have some nice color tattoos.  Northside (wrigleyville) and boystown is cute.  But the cornfed boys and hottest girls came out on NFL Draft Town (week/weekend), I just wanted to pounce.

My relationship concept:

I am highly experienced sexually, know all signs/signals, etc, and very classy so I trick, whore, private entertainer, stripper mode, scandalous rendezvous before the relationship = then dump all that activity into the relationship (turn the person out) = if he/she decides to leave or turns violent, return back to normal and act like nothing did not happen and leave no trace except maybe a litter of babies.

End of report and covering his assets:  I only sleep with girls. I am a heterosexual male.  If I live with any family and since South Carolina, I do not bring my dirt home and only girls come to the family member's house.  My apartments and houses are EEO style of welcome.

End of report and covering his assets:  Please note I own the local, state, city, and federal governments; all levels of courts; and all the legal guns (NRA, FOP, SA, DOD).

End of report and covering his assets:  If you decide to tell or want to f**k me up, tell the paparazzi because all of the above will inform me and I am not going tell you what happens next faster than a lightning strike.

Jamaican Crazy, Manhattan (NYC) Crazy, (DC) Government/Paperwork Crazy, Indian Crazy, American Crazy, Africa Crazy - all mixed into one!
