 Hello everyone, this is Refried. I tried to walk to Starbucks but it was too cold. So I am drinking some coffee here. I feel happy and content.

Gice Indian people were nice to me. I just can’t say how much it changed my life. Same with the African countries too but wow I got a lot of nice messages from people in India who say good morning to me a lot.

I just saw Daniella downstairs. She was nice to me.

I need to clean my apartment but it could be worse.

Well, have a nice day everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. Today is Tuesday, April 7. Later I will try to go to the post office and see if my clothes are there. I will take the cart and walk very far.

I might also work on cleaning or laundry, or see what my grocery status is.

I feel good back here in my apartment.  I feel happy late at night. 

I am really glad I was able to file taxes electronically.

I think that my books are secretly selling though I should do a few more ads soon.  I can't spend much more on video boosts but I definitely got a lot out of this past budget. I mean frankly I am at 20 million for the whole video hobby so far. That makes a solid third phase of entertainment from me. I think my overall goal for the year will be 80 mil. That will be like a 40 60 80 total content creation career.  And a 200 million total.  That is really a blessing.

So what next is maybe exercise.  

I feel a lot better after my medicine adjustment. I think I am also mostly caught up on sleep. I think I got about 6 or 7 hours last night and 8-10 hours the night before.

I need to take a shower and then maybe at one o'clock I will go to the post office. It is so bad that I go during that lunch hour time but that is really when I am able to.

What else after that. I mean I do not know. I should cut my hair soon too. Will I do that today? Maybe.

Gice let's be honest. My reach was 10 10 10.  But I think that is good.

Gice each Eastside graduate gets a stadium to work with in heaven.  As a club of constituents.  That is how it works. I mean from when I was there. 

Gice I believe a lot of the suffering now is a societal sacrifice as christianity reaches more places in the world through many outlets. A lot of people who aren't expecting it might get a cultural martyr designation in their heaven evaluations. Sorry but I really believe that and I think for me I am actually part of the social media outreach being facilitated by other people having health problems and poverty. No one needs to get mad, I am not talking about certain economics of it but am mostly innocent about that too. I am just saying, can you see a big picture view of this millennium.

The other thing is how God provided for us. What he did with social media. I mean it is a mess now and political problems but in a way that meant more material that mattered. But we were stressed and many of us trapped and then we got this literal feed of socializing and entertainment.  It was just what we wanted.  And we are the 80s children and got smartphones. I mean it is just awesome. I just can't believe it. 

Anyway I feel humbled by the evangelical music that got churned out.  That simply wasn't me.  I think that the liberal social harvest is also amazing and a permanent resource and witness for the world. Such as Obama, etc.

Well, that is all. I am really glad to be back home and thankful for my trip to Greenville. I am sad to not have seen people I wanted to see but really am still coasting on the last meet ups.

 Hello everyone, I did my taxes. I recommend H and R block online filing, 34 dollars.  It was easy, thanks everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried.  It is Sunday, April 5. I just got back from my trip. I am in my apartment now.  The subway was not crowded this morning and I am glad I broke up the trip with a hotel.

The staff at the hotel weren't that nice to me. So I don't know if it will still be my go to place but I am at least glad I have one option for emergencies.

They closed up the hole in the gate so I had to walk an additional half mile to get home. I don't respect that but I am just thankful to be alive and have housing for now.

Today is Easter so I will maybe attend a service online. Maybe later I will go to Starbucks.

Well, that is all besides my next posts which I think are rather interesting.

Have a great day everyone.

 Hello everyone, I am in my hotel room. It is 8 pm. I think possibly I will conclude not to do this next time. And this time it did eat up the rest of my video budget.

But I am happy to be comfortable for a while and sleep and then take the train home tomorrow morning. Honestly it might be harder tomorrow because of the Easter parade but I think I know what route to take. 

It is hard to carry my bag when my pants are too baggy. But it will be okay tomorrow. It was okay today. 

There was a wifi scam where the person said I could have free wifi but then it is only if you join Marriott bonvoy points club. But the button says "Join" so you think you are joining wifi but it is the points program.  That is another toxic zap. I thought this hotel was a happy solution to not having a go to refuge as a backup plan but I might have to go back to kind of just having a more strict poverty status and not having a place in Manhattan as a backup.

I told my mom the truth about being here and she did freak out but then saw it my way fast enough. I mean that actually is just a sad part of my life. It is some suffering.  How hard it was to travel, how I tried to make it easier this time but it wasn't really easier.

I was a bonvoy member but they did not properly change my name either upon request and they did not help me know how to use the points for a hotel stay so I actually closed the credit card that made me eligible. 

So this endorsement might not be working out that well for them but I am staying here for now and hopefully will have a good night. 

I feel kind of lonely and need friends to talk to but on face book I am seeing repetitive posts from Mike Vick.  The dog killer.  Why is he on my feed? I mean believe in redemption, fine, but where are my god damn facebook friends.

 Hello everyone. This is Refried. I just got to New York City in a train from sc. it was an okay trip. I had good seat buddies and was mostly comfortable.

I am staying in a hotel for one night. It is a splurge but I felt that it helped me feel more peaceful on the train without guessing about a subway ride and cab ride and another hour and a half after arriving in nyc.

at the desk for the hotel there was an issue with my credit card because American Express did not change my name after five requests and presenting legal ID every time.

So now it puts me in a jam. And they also switch over their card to US Bank so what am I going to do about my name? I could lose the account over it but if I do I might get a lawyer.

This isn’t really what I needed just as I get back to NYC. I just don’t appreciate the power plays and dishonesty that is tolerated in our country. 

Anyway it is crowded downtown but mostly nice people and I think that is good. People were getting in my way on purpose but I guess they want prayers of forgiveness for the whole city.

Some people mistake that as an accusation but someday they will be glad someone cared.

But anyway I am thankful for this blessing but I am going to complain to both companies.

At least they did finally take the card when I showed my old ID. I just don’t understand why people treated me like crap as a writer. The whole career part has been a swindle with onlooking bullies of every kind.

But the creative work was fun and I guess that is the conspiracy’s clever idea because people think my life is theirs to waste as part of their little religion project.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. I am on the Amtrak train and we just left Greenville. I have a good seat buddy at least for about two hours. Then it will be 4:30. There could be a bad one after that but it will be almost daylight and that helps when you have a bad person which I did one time. The train station was not safe this time so I do not know what I will do for the next trip. I felt like after the trip here that I was okay to tolerate the train after feeling too disabled for it in the last several trips. But I think some of that was because I was being tortured at housing.

Basically there was a non passenger who came in the waiting area when I was the only one there at 1:30 in the morning. I said hello and he was friendly but stayed too long in the bathroom like possibly either drugs or just sleeping. So I went outside and waited on the platform. Actually it was a good solution because if someone came toward me it would be okay to call 911. but no one was there until a safe couple was standing outside the building later and I talked to them. They were first timers and I told them usually it felt safer. Well then another guy came into the waiting area and I decided to wait there instead. But then I found out he was not a passenger either. He said “ I wish I could get on this train and go to Philly.” Well I went back outside because it sounded like a drug dealer pickup line. But maybe he was a nice guy. 

So then I waited twenty more minutes and some other people came in the train area and the mystery guys left.

But there was another car with non passengers and they were socializing. So I am going to have to write a little note to Amtrak and say how bad it is that they don’t staff their stations. And I will tell them I am also going to send a note to the hometown newspaper to do a story about it.

People could say not to announce it as a target but there should be some leadership to maintain a functioning train station for a city of a million people.

Well maybe this is that article.

Have a nice day everyone.
