TOPIC: Happy Independence Day...Just Simply Talking

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

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

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

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

I attended another Inclusion Summit with the University of Phoenix.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Best line: Crazy Got to Understand Crazy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Journal Entry #71 - University of Pennsylvania Relays 2022 with PVTC - My Trifecta, Triangulation, and Amazing Race Triple Elimination - Chicago, New York City, and Washington, District of Columbia - Go Back? Double Negative "Non, je ne suis pas !"

JOURNAL ENTRY #71

Name: Manley M Collins

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

Date of Birth: 06/21

Place of Birth: Washington, District of Columbia

Country of Birth: United States of America

Date: April 4, 2022

TOPIC: University of Pennsylvania Relays 2022 with PVTC - My Trifecta, Triangulation, and Amazing Race Triple Elimination - Chicago, New York City, and Washington, District of Columbia - Go Back? Double Negative "Non, je ne suis pas !"

This is the beginning of heavier activity work in spring, summer, and fall.  The winter I normally hibernate and physically work on myself at the gym.  The gym practically sees me everyday as a part of my routine.  I rarely miss a day unless it is heavy day of appointments and personal errands.

Getting adjusted to a new United State is always work. 

I gave CubeSmart my release notice and asked for other locations with smaller units.  I moved into my new unit on the other side of town with less Mass-Cass type of scenery.

I expanded my Massachusetts Planet Fitness workouts and trips to Cambridge, Malden, Quincy, Chelsea, East Boston, Boston, Mattapan, Revere/Wonderland, Jamaica Plain, Burlington, Reading, Hingham, Braintree, Weymouth, Medford, Waltham, and Watertown.  I did attend my New York locations - Harlem, Columbus Circle, Chelsea, Times Square.  I did South Carolina locations - Summerville, North Charleston, and Charleston.  I did Georgia locations - Atlanta, Chamblee-Tucker, Doraville, Brookhaven.  See my photo albums for more photos.

Part of my schizophrenia wanted to search the human resources and federal laws regarding record keeping because my resume was long from actual positions, but who had a record of what puzzled me because Social Security and Internal Revenue Service had records.  The maximum number of years for recordkeeping is six (6) years.  I did send an email or request to find out, which employers had a record of me.  Another reason: It is because I was shown plenty of mental health conditions that I physically did not know and never could claim the benefit, but physically I was fine and for real suffering 100% materialistic loss from 1994-2019.  The selection of 'No disability' on my pre-hire and full background was correct, but life made me act like I was having issues without having control or knowing what I was going through at the workplace.

I researched getting Oracle and RedHat certifications because Microsoft became the prominent technology for my rise and downfall. I do not want to repeat that again. I went through my resume for all the skills I had to see what I missed or did not see.

I was planning USATF Meets.  Potomac Valley Track Club, University of Pennsylvania, and USATF made it possible for me to run in the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  It was fun and enjoyable to see my teammates and friends in the city.  See my photo albums for more photos. I did obtain a Free Library of Philadelphia Library Card, which the temporary card only lasts a year.  I rented an AirBnb.  It was super nice and very impressive for the price, but could not control the room temperature due to the cool weather.  I hung out with a friend I met during the Democratic National Convention in 2016, and we went to Ravens Lounge, Graffiti Lounge, and Marsala Kitchen.  I also attempted to do UberEats and DoorDash to see if the adaptable market was still associated with the Boston region.  I registered my SEPTA key card.

Massachusetts State Police tried to additionally direct me to the Victim Advocate Program in Massachusetts District Court, East Boston, Massachusetts.  I found out some new information between Harassment Probation Order for co-workers and unrelated people, but has to have three different incidents.  I found out restraining protective order for relatives and people related to me.  The Boston Police and Massachusetts State Police are supposed to submit charges if anything is found during the investigation.  I already got confirmation that the investigation was closed, but I tried to submit new information. Massachusetts is deliberately using time to prevent any benefit or consequences for what grown adults do.

Illinois and Chicago played the same role on stating they are not responsible for what their residents or visitors do in their geographic location, in buildings, in offices, or public transportation.

Social Security Administration approved me for disability, but I got the initial payments. I had to configure how to do the money.  They also did court ordered deductions, but they found two, when for the last ten (10) years I only saw one.  Connecticut had the original deduction open done with my presence.  Washington, DC did another deduction in 2020 after I left the city and had no presence.  I never knew that could be done.  Social Security Administration kept doing this until I spoke up about where the extra money was going.  I inquired about the SSA Ticket to Work program, but learn I only have nine (9) months to make the most money I can make while receiving the government funding.

Journal Entry #65 - Happy New Year 2021 in Massachusetts

 JOURNAL ENTRY #65

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: January 1, 2021

TOPIC: Happy New Year 2021 in Massachusetts

I am celebrating my first new year in Massachusetts during the second-third wave of the coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic in the United States of America. I am still single bachelor.  I am working for Federal Express and staying at BPHC Southampton Street Shelter.  I applied for my first apartment or shared room in Boston for six months.  The shared room was a corner room close to the roof approximately 200 square feet.  Only one person was in the whole house of eight (8) to nine (9) rooms.  The house was cleared out because of the pandemic.  The real estate agent was an Asian female young adult with child who was trying to get the rooms rented.  I found her through craigslist and other sources of apartment hunting.  It was for the period February 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021.  The security deposit was $550.00 done by Zelle...and rent was $500 per month. I had Federal Express income, and UberEats and DoorDash income. I gave her my spiel that my credit was sub-par, but I had the income to support the rent and I never miss a rental payment.  She ran the credit check and denied me the room. She told me she was refunding the deposit.  I told her the same way I sent it...she can send it back.  My storage unit was with CubeSmart.  I tried Roomster subscription service through the Apple store.

Boston Public Health Commission's 112 Southampton Shelter additional civil case information happening at this time - Attorneys Batool Raza and Timothy Harrington; Rita Nieves is Interim Executive Director:

8. Action from BPHC Employees and BPHC Police was denial of shelter in weather of below 32 degrees on Sunday, January 3, 2021.

       b.  Evidence of entire shelter restriction video – Exhibit A.

9. Description of the activity from second shelter restriction date on Sunday, January 3, 2021.

a.  On Sunday, January 3, 2021, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, County of Suffolk, and City of Boston tried to invoke a rule stating, “Unlabeled or non-readable labels on prescribed medicine cannot be allowed in the building.”  Please note at 112 Southampton employees enforced the rule on January 3, 2021 at the time of Plaintiff entry approximately around 11:00 pm to 12:30 am.  Plaintiff has the full video on my smartphone and saved it into the cloud and many other places.  This is 112 Southampton second time keeping Plaintiff out of the shelter and sending me into the below freezing temperatures outside.  As a new resident of Boston and with the pandemic, Plaintiff already went to all the open shelters, which stated no new residents could come in.  Other shelters completely offer no services or totally closed.  Since this is Plaintiff's first situation encountering this rule, Plaintiff offered 112 Southampton St employees to verify the medicine via Google and told them all the businesses and government agencies involved in providing the medications for my conditions.  The choices 112 Southampton St employees gave while pleading total ignorance abyss were as follows 

1. Go to hospital to get it relabeled.

2. Go to clinic to get it relabeled.

3. Leave it outside for the current drug addicts currently using drugs inside and outside shelter.

4. Cannot come in with the medication.

It is BPHC’s attempt to avert from any individual on pressing charges on dumping perfectly legal medication.  Plaintiff chose option number 4 because the medication is prescribed for me by reality of Plaintiff's life mental health issues.  Thus, the consequence for the second time by 112 Southampton Street employees leading me to hypothermia and shock, Plaintiff had to keep himself awake all night to ensure Plaintiff make it to a warm location the next morning.
