 Hello everyone. This is Refried. I had a great day. I woke up, logged onto a group on Discord, then traveled downtown to go to an autism event.  Unfortunately I got detoured on the way and cursed a little bit incessantly as my cart hit gates forcing me away from the Puerto Rico parade.  But I eventually got to the event in Brooklyn and had a great time.  I gave away about 55 books and it went well.  For a second it seemed like I wasn't going to succeed at giving away the books.

There is a cool person named Sy-aire who is in charge of the autism organization and I feel happy for them. The book giving went mostly pretty well but it was not easy but I will try to attend next year, too.

After that event I took the A train to my comedy show and it was amazing how close the train stop was to the location.  I went to a coffee shop to recharge and then met my class at the venue.  I was not as nervous as sometimes but was nervous for longer.  I obsessed about the show for a week.  But I think I learned the material better than usual. It went really well.  I hope I get a good video. It might not be that good in terms of appearance but I think the joke delivery and laughs were good.  This is my sixth show. That is really cool and if you think about it, I have performed 42 times, because we do our jokes at class, too.  I mean honestly, that is not easy. 

So I think this was a really good weekend and I had memes sharing on facebook, too. It was a high functioning time.  My friend Sharon attended the comedy show and we went to a diner afterwards.  Then the train on the way home was as empty as it has ever been.  Also the Knicks won, and yesterday I went to an online retreat for writing.  I did not do that well but it was still fun and I will try to mail Charissa a book to England.

I mean why not have some blessings and things go well. 

My finances are kind of tight but it is not an emergency.

I got some sleep last night and hopefully I will get more sleep later at about 5 am.

I realized that I should have invited my writers group to the comedy class show but maybe next time. I mean honestly I think the writers group sessions are already a thing. But probably a few of those people would have enjoyed the show. Also what about Mary Catherine who came to that other show. I mean maybe the idea is one person at a time. Also I might have told Dan Frey that I would invite him.  I actually think the thing to invite him to is to do a class himself.  I think that is what I will try to do.

Well, have a good day everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is Saturday, June 13. I am attending an online writing retreat. It is great. It is on discord. So far I have reread my novel called Poncheesy, written a blog post, updated an important document, rehearsed my comedy routine, and socialized.  I also took a shower and gave myself a haircut. 

So I think I am all set for tomorrow and just need to make sure I get sleep. I mean possibly I will snooze during this session.  

I feel glad about being done with Poncheesy.  My main feeling was that the beginning part of it where I was actually writing a novel wasn't so good that I needed to make the rest of the book be just like it.  So what happened was interesting and kind of funny. And then the groundhogs at the end.

So that is good. I probably won't revisit it.

I think I am just about done with most of my stuff. I think that I should mainly be trying to walk more and get exercise.  But I need to crack the code on when.  Possibly in the morning. I mean what if I do that every day and then take my medicine after that. Hmm I think I might see how that goes.

Ok the other code to crack is whether to order a pizza. Hmm.  I am thinking maybe.  I think I will look at the papa johns menu and see what is available.

 Ok everyone, I got my books ready for the sunday event.  It has some new titles, but I chickened out on second thin books series.  But I added soldier hogs, train light, junkyard, forgiveness flag, and about four or five visuals, more blobs, optic nerve, trio triumphant, and hopping online. I mean why not.  I wish i had a couple of more floopydoos but this is a good assortment too.  I think I will have about 55 books to give. maybe 60 but I am not sure about that.  let's see, 26 plus four, 30 plus 30, I think 60.  That is good.  That is actually not that much for a whole festival.  But it will be fine. Live and learn, plan better next time, participate in the organization. I only ever give away about ten or fifteen at nami things once a year.  So I mean that is just how it worked out.  I think it is a good assortment to give.  And I am left with about 20 of the second thin that I am too shy to share. I mean this is where readers were needed.  A lot of people have professions where they need the people to be there or there is no career and I think that even though writing is not as much like that, it is kind of like that. I mean a lot of stuff is actually like that.

but anyway I think soon i will hear back from the lawyers.  But i am happy that I saw that video today, that was a lot too. It is so sweet.  And funny about how some people talk too much and I am like that. 

So that is kind of comical.  Who will get the next books. I think I will scroll through and see if any vermont people want a book.

I made some popcorn and accidentally used the old butter but it is fine. Well, now what for the rest of the day. I would have done groceries but there are storms scheduled in just a couple of hours. I think possibly I was too afraid of the heat but I did decide to stay in. Maybe I will do the treadmill.

Have a good day everyone.

 Ok everyone, that was my best inspection. Gloria used it to train the new worker and it was fast and I hit the button we hit when it passes.  I actually did clean up a couple of extra areas this time.

The two facebook posts are doing well in India and I am thankful for my audience there even though America is missing.  I just don't understand why people don't want my work to reach America.  

The books can't get to India so that is some of my frustration, because you know what, a lot of it is about the books.  Like I worked in a bookstore and wanted to sell books.

I think I am going to share that video on my facebook page.  from the lawyer. I hope they don't discontinue me.

Thursday, June 11, 2026

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. Today is June 11, Thursday. It is about 10:10 pm.  At midnight I am going to try to do some cleaning for inspection. Then at 5 am I will try to take my medicine.  Then I will get up at 11 am and clean again.  Then at 12 I will go downstairs and find Karla.  Then at 1 pm I will have a zoom meeting with my friend Kate.   Really, what do I have to do, about one hour of cleaning, a meeting at 12 and a meeting at 1. I can do it. I mean this is the night before. Really I don't have to clean at midnight but I think I will be glad if I clear the table. But I think it also pressures me to throw away stuff I want to keep.

So that is three things. I mean I could do it all at 11,12, 1, and not worry tonight about getting anything done. But I kind of think I should get something done before I sleep.

So okay, mood. I watched some of my comedy videos and I don't have an attention span for the whole thing on any of them.  The one with the blue shirt is by far the best start but really they all have their ups and downs.  So I think I need to just do the best I can Sunday.  Honestly it is not that easy, everyone.  And I am taking books to the park and it is going to be hot outside and then I go to the comedy show. But I have plenty of time.  12-2, then travel to times square area. This is my 6th show. I mean that is great. That is 30 minutes of original material. I mean some people have careers with less than that.

But I actually do have a career because of facebook.  So this is it.  This is a defining event.  But it is just a comedy show.  Just someone talking on a stage. That happens millions of times every year all over the world.  People memorize their lines and speeches.  And I have four minutes of stuff to say.  And I mostly have memorized it.  But I think that is what is bothering me a little bit, is that I feel my disability.  I truly do have a little bit of dementia.  The attention span and memory is impaired.  But I think I can use my piece of paper.  That is the best thing is to update the paper and then rehearse. I mean I could rehearse right now after I finish typing this. I just feel scrambled.  And what about all those facebook posts.  I mean honestly I could send around some old jokes all the time. Not to mention the new jokes, and some art that hasn't been sent around. But I will be honest with you, I think facebook has not maxxed out its opportunity.  I think they should have automated my page and scheduled all my memes to be running and reaching millions of people with some positive content.  And they should have monetized it and paid me abotu ten thousand dollars.  That would still be a deal for them and they would have ads on that.  But they found a way to get content to be ads too.  But still we have a good deal going and I think that they think the religion will stay pure if I am not monetized.  There is some merit to that and yet I think the jokes should really have been monetized.  I mean that is valuable work with education behind it.

Anyway does anyone have any opinions?  The issue now is that I don't have any cash and need to catch up on credit cards and deposits.

 Hello everyone. That was an interesting dream, wasn't it.  I do not know what it really means. Now it is 5:21 and I just made some potatoes.  I do not have much sour cream but I have a little bit. And I had cheese, and actually I am thinking I could use mustard or what if I made a honey mustard drizzle. I think that is what I will do. I mean what if I added barbecue sauce so it is the flavor of those restaurant sauces. I think that is what I will do in just a little while.

It is 5:23. In about an hour it will be storming here. I think we will be okay. i just had a piece of baklava and it was good. I think I am going to use the treadmill this summer.  I really think I will. I know I always say that but I think I will. I am at 205. That could be worse. But getting that next 5-7 pounds down is the main difference.

So anyway, I think I am going to watch some more of my old comedy routines.  All of them went pretty well. I hope this one goes okay.  I am not sure I have rehearsed enough but maybe I will do that also this afternoon. 

Well, that is all for now, have a good day everyone.

 Hey everyone, this is Refried. Can you believe the Knicks won? I can't believe it and feel a miracle feeling from it. Like it is so cool and a blessing on New York. I saw the score early in the game and was like well darn and then later it was 70-87 and then 90-99 and I was like wow they could win and then I check the score and it says 107-106 final and the shot that won was kind of a funny shot that I used to always try to make when I played basketball.  I mean wow it was amazing. I feel so happy from that.

I hope they win in San Antonio. I kind of am confused as to why this was not the championship but I guess I don't know how it works. I mean what do you keep having to prove you are actually better instead of just winning a game? 

Anyway I did my laundry. I also practiced my comedy routine. I think it is fine but the household name joke is an old classic that has been done before but I just feel like it fits with my routine.  But it is weird how I have flaws in every routine. But I think I am still doing pretty well. I think it is okay but I need to not get carried away and think I am pro if I have a few videos that do well. I haven't sent any around yet.  But anyway people are reminding me every day to get a haircut. I will do that soon.

I hope there are no tornadoes tomorrow. Well I just can't believe the knicks won.  I am still a harlem globe trotters fan but this is a very exciting series that warrants a lot of destructive rioting in the streets.

Well, that is all everyone.
